A deep rage filled David's chest as he looked at his daughter's tear-stained face.
He realized in that terrible moment that Clara had been telling the truth all along.
David set Clara down safely on the ground near the grand entrance door.
David: Stay right here, sweetheart, you are completely safe now.
David stood up abruptly and turned towards the grand white marble staircase.
His jaw clenched tightly as heavy rapid footsteps echoed loudly off the hard walls.
He stormed up the high stairs with fierce determination burning in his dark eyes.
Vanessa backed away slightly, her cold smirk disappearing as he approached her fast.
Vanessa: David, please calm down, you know I would never hurt her!
David: Shut your mouth right now! I saw what you did with my own eyes!
David stepped directly in front of Vanessa on the narrow second-floor balcony path.
He pointed his finger directly at her face while shaking with intense anger.
David: You tried to harm my innocent child in my own home!
Vanessa cowered back against the balcony railing, raising her hands up in defense.
Vanessa: It was an honest mistake, David, please do not do anything crazy!
David: You are a evil woman who only wanted my family's wealth!
The air inside the grand mansion felt tense and heavy as David confronted her.
