The sun shone brightly through the tall arched windows of the grand estate every single morning.
Ethan had built a successful real estate company through years of hard work and endless dedication.
He lived in the huge mansion with his infant son Leo after his wife passed away.
Clara: Drink your warm milk, little buddy.
Clara had worked as a loyal nanny in the household for nearly five years.
She loved little baby Leo as if he were her own family member.
Ethan: Thank you for taking such good care of him today, Clara.
Ethan put on his dark suit jacket while adjusting his silk tie in the mirror.
Clara: He is a healthy boy, sir.
Ethan: I do not know what I would do without your help around here.
Ethan smiled gently before picking up his briefcase to head out toward his morning meetings.
However, the mood in the quiet mansion changed completely whenever Victoria walked into the room.
Victoria was Ethan's sharp-tongued fiancée who moved into the estate three short months ago.
She always wore expensive designer clothes and walked across the shiny floors with heavy heels.
Victoria: Why is that child crying so loudly again, Clara?
Victoria glared down from the top of the grand white staircase with clear annoyance.
Clara: He is just resting, ma'am.
Victoria: Make sure he stays quiet while I host my lunch guests today.
Clara nodded her head politely because she wanted to avoid any unnecessary conflict with Victoria.
She carried baby Leo up toward the quiet top nursery room near the back hallway.
She could feel that Victoria did not care for the baby at all.
Victoria only cared about the massive wealth and high social status that Ethan possessed.
Ethan had setup a huge trust fund for baby Leo after his late wife died.
The legal documents stated that Leo would inherit the entire estate when he turned eighteen.
Victoria knew that these legal papers stood directly between her and the family fortune.
She spent her afternoons wandering around the silent halls while thinking of evil plans.
She wanted to find a sneaky way to cancel that trust fund completely.
Clara observed Victoria closely from distance whenever she walked through the long hallways.
She knew that something bad was brewing inside the cold quiet mansion.
