The bright morning sun shone through the tall glass windows of the grand mansion.
Marble floors stretched across the vast foyer, reflecting the crystal chandelier hanging high above.
Elena adjusted her clean grey vest and straightened her collar before picking up her mop.
She had worked for the Harrison family for over five dedicated years.
The house had once been filled with warm laughter and kind words.
Everything changed when the gentle mother of the house passed away two years ago.
Arthur Harrison was a busy CEO who spent long hours at his corporate office.
He was fighting hard to protect his family business and preserve his child's future.
Baby Leo was only eight months old and needed gentle love and constant protection.
Six months ago, Arthur married Victoria, a ambitious woman from a prominent social circle.
Victoria loved expensive jewels, designer clothes, and the status of living in a mansion.
She did not care about little Leo or the emotional history of the estate.
Elena noticed how Victoria looked at the baby's nursery with cold disdain every morning.
Victoria: Why is that noisy child crying again early this morning?
Elena set her cleaning cloth down and bowed her head politely to her boss.
Elena: He is just hungry, ma'am, and I am preparing his warm milk now.
Victoria: Make sure he stays inside his room for the rest of the day.
Elena: Yes, Mrs. Harrison, I will take good care of him.
Victoria walked toward the wide balcony overlooking the bright marble foyer below.
Her deep blue silk dress rustled softly against the polished railing as she moved.
She checked her expensive gold wristwatch and tapped her polished nails impatiently.
Elena walked quietly toward the kitchen to finish preparing the morning formula.
She knew that Victoria was hiding something important from her busy husband.
Late last night, Elena heard Victoria talking on her phone about a secret bank account.
Victoria wanted full control over the massive family trust fund before Arthur returned.
The trust fund was set up to protect baby Leo's entire future inheritance.
If anything happened to the baby's legal papers, Victoria could claim the money.
Elena promised herself that she would guard the baby and his rights no matter what.
She poured the warm milk into a clean bottle with steady hands.
From the hallway, she heard high heels clicking loudly against the hard floor.
Victoria was heading straight toward the nursery with a cold look in her eyes.
Elena quickened her pace and followed the sound up the winding staircase.
