Two police officers stepped into the grand hall with handguns ready.
They saw Victoria backing away toward the long glass balcony doors.
Officer Davis: Ma'am, stay where you are and put your hands up!
Victoria: This is a family matter, officer, please leave!
Mark walked out of the bedroom holding the small liquid medicine bottle.
He pointed at Victoria with a steady and fearless hand.
Mark: She dropped my newborn son off the balcony, and she poisoned my father.
Victoria shrieked and reached for the balcony handle behind her back.
Officer Davis moved quickly and grabbed her wrist with firm force.
He clicked the metal handcuffs around her wrists in one swift motion.
Officer Davis: You have the right to remain silent, ma'am.
Victoria: He is lying! He staged the entire thing for money!
The second officer took the medicine bottle from Mark's hand safely.
He placed it into a clear plastic evidence bag for testing.
Officer Miller: We will have the lab test this immediately, sir.
Mark: Check the security camera on the balcony ceiling as well.
Victoria's eyes went wide with pure terror when Mark mentioned cameras.
She had forgotten that Mark installed modern security cameras last month.
The small lens pointed directly at the second floor balcony railing.
Every single second of her cruel action had been recorded clearly.
The officers led Victoria down the grand marble staircase in cuffs.
She screamed loud curses at Mark all the way to the car.
Mark walked back into his father's quiet room to check on him.
An ambulance arrived shortly after to take Arthur to the hospital.
The paramedics carefully lifted the old man onto a soft stretcher.
Mark held his baby son close as he followed them outside.
The cool evening air rushed over his face as they walked out.
He felt a massive weight lifting off his shoulders at last.
The truth was finally coming out after months of quiet suffering.
He sat in the back of the ambulance holding his father's hand.
Arthur: I am so sorry I didn't see her true nature, son.
Mark: It's over now, Dad, we are going to be fine.
The ambulance drove quickly toward the city hospital with sirens flashing.
Mark looked down at his sleeping child wrapped in the blanket.
He knew the legal fight was just beginning in the courtroom.
He was prepared to protect his family no matter the cost.
