Elena realized her greedy plan was completely failing right before her very eyes.
She lost her temper and began screaming loud insults across the high room.
Elena: You are a weak father who spoils his kid!
Arthur: Do not speak about my child ever again!
Elena: I deserve this mansion and your money!
Arthur: You will not get a single dime here!
Elena: I will sue you for everything you own!
Arthur: Get out of my house this instant, monster!
Arthur pointed his arm straight toward the big double front doors right now.
His voice echoed through the high ceilings like a heavy wave of thunder.
Elena took a step back and stumbled over her own long green dress skirts.
She nearly fell back onto the hard white marble floor near the entrance.
She grabbed the wooden stair handrail to catch her balance in total humiliation.
The housekeepers stood near the dining hall entrance watching the whole dramatic scene.
No one stepped forward to help Elena because they knew how bad she was.
Elena gripped her designer handbag and glared at Arthur with pure burning rage.
Elena: You will regret this day for the rest!
Arthur: The police are coming in five minutes!
Elena: You called the police on your wife?
Arthur: You stole money and threatened my young daughter!
Elena: I am leaving before they get here!
Elena turned around quickly and stomped her high heels toward the front door.
She pulled the heavy door open and slammed it shut with a loud crash.
The sound vibrated through the quiet halls of the grand white stone mansion.
Arthur took a deep breath of clean air and felt a huge relief.
The dark cloud that had covered their home was finally gone for good.
He turned back to his small daughter who was sitting on the sofa.
Lily ran into his open arms and hugged him around his waist tightly.
Lily: Is she gone forever now, Daddy?
Arthur: Yes, sweetie, she is never coming back.
Lily: Thank you for saving me today, Daddy.
Arthur: I will always keep you safe, Lily.
Arthur held his child tightly while the afternoon sun filled the bright room.
He knew the hard part was over and peace would return today.
