Victoria grabbed a stack of delicate porcelain plates and shoved them toward Elena's arms.
The plates clattered loudly together, nearly slipping onto the hard tile floor.
Victoria: Wash these immediately after you finish making my fresh morning beverage!
Elena's baby shrieked in sudden terror from the sharp, metallic clattering sound.
Elena: Please stop shouting, you are frightening my sweet little boy!
Victoria: You have no right to tell me what to do in my home!
Victoria raised her hand in the air with a cold, menacing sneer across her face.
She stepped directly into Elena's personal space, completely blocking the nearby hallway exit.
Just then, heavy footsteps echoed rapidly down the polished wooden corridor outside the kitchen.
The heavy mahogany double doors swung open with tremendous force, banging against the walls.
Julian stood in the doorway dressed in a sharp dark suit, holding a lit birthday cake.
He had come home early from his hospital shift to surprise his sister on her birthday.
His warm smile completely vanished the instant he witnessed the cruel scene before him.
He saw his exhausted wife trembling near the sink while holding their weeping infant.
He saw his sister standing over them with her arm raised in a cruel threat.
A wave of pure shock and anger rushed through Julian's body instantly.
Julian: What on earth are you doing to my family right now?
Victoria turned around quickly, her face switching from anger to fake innocence instantly.
Victoria: Julian! This lazy girl is refusing to do her basic household chores!
Julian did not listen to another word coming out of his sister's lying mouth.
He set his jaw tight and marched directly toward Victoria with steady, heavy steps.
Without saying another word, he thrust the frosted birthday cake straight into Victoria's face.
The thick white cream and heavy sponge cake smashed loudly against her green dress.
Victoria gasped loudly as frosting covered her eyes, hair, and expensive designer outfit.
She stumbled backward in complete shock, wiping heavy cream from her furious face.
Victoria: How dare you! I make the rules in this house!
Julian stepped directly in front of his wife, shielding her from his sister.
Elena: She wouldn't let me feed our baby all morning, Julian...
Julian felt his heart break into a thousand pieces upon hearing those words.
