The dark green suit jacket flapped loudly as Mark burst through the double front doors.
He had heard the sound of screaming coming from inside the dark mansion entrance hallway.
His eyes scanned the room instantly until he located his wife and small baby son.
Mark: What is going on in here right now?
Sarah: Mark, stay close, your mother has lost her mind up there!
Victoria: Stay out of this, Mark, your wife is ruining this entire family!
Mark: Stop yelling at my family right now, Victoria!
Mark ran across the hard stone floor with rapid footsteps that echoed throughout the hall.
He placed his strong arm around Sarah's trembling shoulders to keep her very safe.
Sarah leaned into his broad side and let out a heavy breath of pure relief.
The young mother felt a tiny bit safer now that her husband was beside her.
Up on the balcony, Victoria gripped the stone rail until her pale knuckles turned white.
Victoria: You chose her over your own bloodline, Mark, and that was a mistake!
Mark: Sarah is my wife and Leo is my legitimate baby son!
Victoria: He is not going to inherit a single dollar from this estate!
Sarah: The lawyer says otherwise, Victoria, so stop making dangerous threats!
Mark moved quickly to position himself directly between Victoria's line of sight and Leo.
He dropped down onto one knee on the polished floor to check on his infant.
He gently touched the child's tiny hand with his warm fingers to offer comfort.
Sarah knelt down beside her husband on the cold marble surface with tearful eyes.
The couple embraced each other tightly right in the middle of the massive foyer.
They could hear Victoria pacing angrily back and forth on the floor high above them.
Sarah: You will pay for what you tried to do to us today!
Mark: We are never letting you near our baby ever again, Victoria.
Victoria: You have no power in this house, you weak little fool!
Evelyn the lawyer stepped forward on the upper level and held up a thick envelope.
The sound of heavy paper rustling caused everyone in the room to go completely quiet.
The true power inside the Dallas mansion was about to shift in an instant.
