David unlocked the heavy front door and pulled it open wide immediately.
Two tall police officers in dark blue uniforms stepped into the grand entryway.
Behind them stood David's personal security chief with a tablet computer in hand.
Victoria retreated back toward the first marble step of the staircase in panic.
Officer Harris: Mr. David, we received your emergency call and reviewed the footage.
David: Thank you for coming so quickly to handle this serious home matter.
Officer Harris: Ma'am, please step down off the stairs with your hands visible now.
Victoria held her hands tight against her maroon gown and refused to move down.
Victoria: This is a simple private family argument inside our private home!
Officer Harris: We have clear video evidence of attempted child endangerment and fraud.
The second police officer walked up the short step toward Victoria's position.
She took a quick step back, but backed right against the iron railing post.
Victoria: You cannot touch me without my personal lawyer present in this room!
Officer Harris: You have the right to remain silent under the laws of this state.
The officer placed metal handcuffs around Victoria's wrists with a sharp clicking sound.
Victoria let out a loud dramatic cry as her hands were secured behind her back.
Victoria: David, tell them to stop this immediate outrage right now!
David: You brought this consequence upon yourself through your own selfish actions.
The officers guided Victoria down the marble steps toward the open front entrance.
She glared at David with intense hatred as she passed his quiet spot.
Victoria: You will regret this day for the rest of your life, David!
David: I will only focus on giving my son a safe and happy home.
The police led Victoria out through the large double doors into the bright daylight.
The heavy doors closed shut with a soft and final wooden thud.
Silence returned to the large sunlit entry hall of the quiet mansion.
David walked over to the sofa and gently picked up his small son Leo.
He wrapped the soft blue blanket loosely around the little boy's small shoulders.
Leo smiled up at his father and rested his small head against David's coat.
David took a deep breath of clean air and smiled for the first time today.
The dark threat to his family was finally gone forever from their lives.
He knew that honesty and love would rebuild the peace inside his quiet home.
