The dark wood doors swung wide open into the sunny foyer.
Arthur stood on the threshold wearing a sharp tailored suit.
He carried a heavy leather briefcase in his right hand.
He had just returned from an important business trip across the country.
His stern face turned pale as he saw the crowded entrance hall.
Broken pieces of ceramic lay scattered across the shiny white marble.
His wife stood in her robe, gripping the maid's uniform tightly.
Elena was crying while holding his infant son in her arms.
Arthur: What on earth is happening inside my house?
Elena: Sir, I am so glad you came home early!
Victoria: Arthur, darling, this maid has lost her mind!
Arthur set his briefcase down on the marble floor with a thud.
He walked forward with long, heavy strides into the room.
His dark eyes scanned the faces of the terrified house guests.
He looked down at his newborn son resting safely in Elena's arms.
Then he turned his gaze toward his wife with deep suspicion.
Arthur: Speak clearly, Elena, and tell me the whole truth!
Elena: She tried to drop a heavy vase and abandon your child!
Victoria: She is lying to you because she wants my job!
Arthur: Silence, Victoria, let her finish her statement!
Elena took a deep breath to steady her trembling voice.
She pointed toward the open office door down the main corridor.
She remembered what she had seen earlier that morning while cleaning.
Victoria had been standing near the hidden metal safe behind the painting.
She had held thick legal documents in her hands while typing a code.
Elena: Look inside your office safe before you trust her words!
Victoria: Do not go in there, Arthur, she is lying!
Arthur did not hesitate for a single second longer.
He marched straight past his wife toward his private study room.
Victoria gasped and ran behind him with a panic-stricken face.
The guests moved closer to the doorway to hear what was happening.
Elena followed closely while holding the baby securely in her arms.
The truth was about to come out into the light at last.
