Julian fell back onto the sofa as tears filled his eyes.
He looked at Clara with total shame and overwhelming regret.
The police officers stepped forward and grabbed Elena's arms tightly.
They placed metal handcuffs behind her back with a loud click.
Officer: You are under arrest for attempted poisoning and fraud.
Elena: Get your hands off me! You have no right!
Officer: You have the right to remain silent, ma'am.
The officers marched Elena out of the mansion into the night.
The heavy front doors closed behind them with a soft click.
Silence fell over the massive living room for a moment.
Julian stood up slowly and walked toward his wife Clara.
His hands were shaking as he looked down at the floor.
Julian: Clara... I don't even know what to say to you.
Clara: You chose to believe a stranger over your own wife.
Julian: I was so blind and stupid, please forgive me.
Julian: I almost lost you and our family because of her.
Martha walked down the stairs carrying the sleeping baby boy.
She gently handed the baby directly into Clara's waiting arms.
Clara held her son close and cried tears of pure relief.
The baby opened his tiny eyes and cooed happily at her.
Julian fell to his knees in front of Clara and wept.
Julian: I will do whatever it takes to earn trust back.
Clara: We need time and strict boundaries from now on.
Julian: Anything you want, Clara, just stay home with me.
Clara looked at her husband and saw his genuine remorse.
She knew that healing their marriage would take long months.
However, her son was safe and the truth was clear.
The evil nanny was going away to prison for years.
Clara held her child tightly as the morning sun rose bright.
