The lead police officer took hold of Evelyn's wrist.
He applied the cold steel handcuffs firmly and quickly.
Evelyn: Take your hands off me this instance!
Officer: You are under arrest for attempted fraud.
Evelyn: My husband is making a huge mistake!
Richard: My only mistake was trusting your smile.
The second officer guided Evelyn down the staircase steps.
Her expensive high heels tapped against the marble floor.
She looked small and defeated without her status now.
Timmy held his father's hand near the foyer table.
Timmy: Is she going away for a long time?
Richard: She will face the judge for her actions.
Elena: You are safe now, young Mister Timmy.
Evelyn glared back one last time at the family.
Her eyes contained deep anger and bitterness inside.
Evelyn: You will regret this day forever, Richard!
Richard: I will only regret not acting sooner today.
The police officers led Evelyn out the double doors.
The heavy oak doors clicked shut behind them firmly.
The large mansion felt quiet and peaceful once more.
Richard knelt down in front of his young boy.
He wrapped his large arms around Timmy tightly.
Richard: I am so sorry I was not here.
Timmy: Elena kept me completely safe the whole time.
Richard: Elena, your loyalty will never be forgotten.
Elena: I only did what was right, sir.
Richard stood up and smiled at the brave maid.
He promised to reward Elena with a huge promotion.
She would manage the entire estate staff moving forward.
Timmy smiled for the first time that long day.
The dark shadow over the home was gone.
