The bright Texas sun shone through the tall glass windows of the grand mansion.
Sarah wiped down the long wooden banister with a soft white cloth.
She had worked for the rich family for nearly five whole years.
The quiet house always felt far too big for just three people.
Little baby Leo slept peacefully inside his small crib near the stairs.
Sarah smiled gently as she watched the small boy sleep so soundly.
His biological mother had passed away only three short months ago.
The family business was worth millions of dollars in total wealth.
Mark was a very busy man who ran the large company alone.
He spent long hours at his corporate office downtown every day.
His new wife Victoria did not like the small child at all.
She wanted the entire family inheritance for her own future children.
Sarah noticed how Victoria always gave the sweet baby cold looks.
The young maid promised herself she would always protect the boy.
High above the foyer, a heavy door suddenly clicked wide open.
Victoria walked out onto the high hallway balcony with sharp steps.
Her face looked dark and angry in the morning light.
She stomped down the grand staircase toward the small sleeping child.
Victoria: Why is this noisy crib sitting in the main hallway?
Sarah: His room is being painted today, Mrs. Sterling.
Victoria: Take him to the cold basement right this second!
Sarah: I cannot put the young heir in the cold basement.
Victoria: You will follow my orders without asking any stupid questions!
Sarah held her hands together tightly and stood her ground firmly.
She knew the damp basement was no place for a baby.
Victoria stepped closer to the soft crib with a glare.
Her sharp heels echoed loudly against the bright marble floor.
She reached down toward the soft blanket with a cruel grin.
Victoria: He does not deserve to inherit this giant estate!
Sarah: Please step back from the boy right now!
Victoria: You are just a maid with zero power here!
Sarah took a quick step forward to protect the little boy.
She could see the deep hatred burning inside Victoria's dark eyes.
The whole room grew very tense as the two women stood close.
A quiet crying sound began to fill the large white room.
Sarah placed herself directly between the angry woman and the crib.
She would not let anyone harm the innocent motherless child today.
