Julian looked up at Victoria with burning anger now.
His voice shook with strong deep emotion across room.
Julian: She is not the hired help here!
Victoria: Then why is she scrubbing my floors?
Julian: She is my legally wedded wife, Victoria!
The grand foyer fell into a total silent hush.
Victoria stopped dead on the second stair step.
Her face lost all of its bright pink color.
Victoria: Your wife? That is completely impossible!
Julian: We married secretly six whole months ago.
Julian: And she carries my unborn child today!
Victoria gasped and backed away toward the railing slowly.
She looked down at Elena's humble simple clothing.
Elena stood up slowly with help from Julian's arms.
Julian kept his arm tight around her fragile waist.
He looked at her with pure love and care.
Julian: Are you and the baby alright, Elena?
Elena: We are safe now that you are home.
Victoria tried to regain her cold proud posture quickly.
Victoria: You married a penniless servant girl, Julian?
Victoria: What about our family agreement and status?
Julian: You are my stepmother, not my commander.
Julian: You had no right to act like this.
Julian turned to face Victoria with total direct focus.
Julian: I left you in charge to rest here.
Julian: I did not give you this house forever.
Victoria: I am the lady of this mansion now!
Julian: You are a guest who overstayed her welcome.
Elena pulled Julian's sleeve with her soft hand.
Elena: Let her speak, Julian, please listen first.
Victoria: She took advantage of your foolish head!
Victoria: She wanted your money and your legal estate!
Julian pulled a folded paper from his inner coat.
He held the official legal document up for Victoria.
Julian: Elena signed a prenup without any greed.
Julian: She loved me before I had this house.
Julian: You only cared about my late father's wealth.
Victoria clenched her fists tightly by her sides now.
Her shiny golden gown rustled in the quiet hallway.
Victoria: You cannot throw me out like trash!
Julian: Watch me fix this huge mistake right now.
