Arthur ignored his wife and knelt down on the hard marble floor.
He did not care about ruining his expensive trousers on the cold stone.
He reached out his broad arms toward the small bundle in Sarah's hands.
Arthur: Give her to me, Sarah.
Sarah looked into his kind eyes and saw the genuine love inside them.
She carefully handed the crying infant over to the wealthy man.
Arthur held the newborn child gently against his warm chest with great care.
The baby stopped crying almost at once as if knowing she was safe now.
Arthur looked down at his daughter's sweet face and smiled through his tears.
Arthur: Don't worry. I'm here now.
Sarah let out a long breath of relief and wiped her wet cheeks.
She leaned toward the baby, feeling a deep wave of warmth in her heart.
The tension in her shoulder muscles finally vanished after days of fear.
Arthur reached out with his free hand and helped Sarah stand up straight.
Arthur: You saved my daughter when no one else would help her.
Sarah: I could not let her be thrown away like a piece of trash, sir.
Arthur: You are the bravest person in this entire house.
Arthur stood up and turned around to face his nervous wife again.
Victoria stepped back toward her carved chair, looking smaller than before.
The two security guards moved away, realizing they had been on the wrong side.
Victoria: Arthur, I did it to protect our family business and our wealth!
Arthur: You did it out of selfish pride and a cold heart.
Victoria: A baby would have ruined our legal papers and the trust fund rules!
Arthur: Money means nothing to me if it costs me my own child.
Arthur looked at the woman he had trusted for so many years.
He realized that her love was fake and based only on rich status.
He felt a strong sense of clarity wash over his mind like fresh water.
He made his final decision right there in the center of the hall.
Arthur: Pack your bags and leave this house before the sun goes down.
Victoria: You cannot throw me out of my own home!
Arthur: My lawyer will contact you tomorrow morning about the divorce papers.
Victoria gasped out loud as if she had been struck in the face.
She looked around the grand room, but no one moved to help her now.
