The bright morning sun streamed into the massive Texas mansion foyer.
Marble floors reflected the light, making the grand hallway look perfectly clean.
Clarissa stood near the center of the entrance in her maroon dress.
She held the small baby tightly in her arms while glaring downward.
On the floor, Hannah lowered her head as tears streamed down her cheeks.
Hannah had worked as a maid for the wealthy family for years.
She knew every dark secret hidden behind the mansion's polished doors.
Clarissa: Silence, you wretched liar!
Clarissa pointed her finger with sharp anger in her voice.
Hannah: Please, stop!
Hannah raised her hands to shield herself from the harsh words.
She was holding back secrets that could destroy the entire wedding planning.
Clarissa stepped closer, her expensive heels clicking loudly against the marble.
She demanded that Hannah hand over the old envelope containing the papers.
Clarissa: You have no right to touch my personal documents!
Hannah: Those papers belong to the estate lawyer, not to you!
Clarissa shoved Hannah away, forcing the maid onto the hard floor.
The loud argument echoed across the high ceilings of the sunlit foyer.
Hannah gasped as she tried to regain her breath on the ground.
She knew the groom was due back from his morning trip soon.
If Austin walked through those doors, everything would finally be exposed.
Clarissa adjusted the baby and turned toward the massive double doors.
Her face showed absolute panic behind her stern expression.
She needed to hide the papers before the family business was ruined.
The inheritance contract sitting in Hannah's pocket changed the whole story.
It proved who really owned the sprawling Texas estate and trust fund.
