Sarah adjusted her plain white apron as she walked across the green lawn of the grand estate.
The morning sun shone brightly over the mansion, making the quiet swimming pool sparkle like glass.
Sarah worked hard every single day as a live-in maid to support her younger sister back home.
She loved caring for baby Leo because the sweet boy brought warmth to the quiet house.
His wealthy father, Mark Vance, spent long hours in his formal corporate office working on business deals.
Mark had built a massive fortune through his successful company and valuable real estate properties.
However, the mood inside the peaceful mansion changed completely when Victoria moved into the home last spring.
Victoria was a wealthy socialite who wore expensive golden satin dresses and high heels around the house.
She wanted full control over the massive family trust fund and the entire legal estate.
Victoria: Make sure you clean the deck properly today, Sarah.
Sarah: Yes, ma'am, I am finishing the poolside area right now.
Victoria adjusted her expensive diamond ring while staring coldly at the young baby sleeping nearby.
She did not care about the child because she only cared about Mark's vast family fortune.
Sarah felt a sudden chill in her heart whenever Victoria walked near baby Leo's stroller.
She noticed how Victoria carefully tracked Mark's life insurance policies and financial papers in his study.
Mark trusted Victoria completely because she pretended to be a loving stepmother in front of him.
He did not see the sharp look in her eyes when he turned his back to answer calls.
Victoria: Leave the baby right here near the water while I check my phone.
Sarah: It is not safe to leave him so close to the edge, ma'am.
Victoria: Do not tell me how to manage this household, maid.
Sarah stepped back respectfully, but she kept her eyes fixed on the stroller from the patio.
She knew that Victoria was planning something cruel to get rid of any rival for the inheritance.
The afternoon air grew heavy as dark motives began to unfold beside the quiet swimming pool.
Sarah folded towels slowly while keeping a watchful eye on the sleeping baby near the water.
She promised herself that she would always protect the child no matter what happened around them.
