Victoria stood at the doorway with a cold, distant expression on her face.
She showed no regret or sadness for locking the small child inside.
Mark: How could you lock a little girl in a dark storage room?
Victoria: Bad girls need to learn fear and strict discipline.
Mark's body trembled with deep rage as he held Lily close.
Mark: You are out of your mind if you think this is discipline!
Victoria: I was hired to enforce real order in this grand house.
Mark: You were hired to care for my daughter with genuine love!
Lily buried her face deeper into Mark's warm suit jacket.
Mark stood up slowly while holding his daughter securely in his arms.
Mark: Get out of my home before I lose my temper completely.
Victoria: I am not going anywhere until you pay my full contract.
Mark reached into his pocket and pulled out his mobile phone.
He dialed three digits and placed the phone against his left ear.
Victoria: Who are you calling right now, Mark?
Mark: I am calling the Dallas police department right this second.
Victoria's cold expression suddenly melted into pure panic and fear.
She lunged forward, trying to grab the phone from Mark's hands.
Mark stepped back quickly, keeping Lily protected behind his body.
Mark: Do not touch me or my daughter ever again!
Victoria: You will destroy my career and ruin my whole reputation!
Mark: You destroyed your own reputation the moment you harmed my child.
The operator on the phone answered and Mark gave his address clearly.
Mark: Send officers immediately to my mansion in north Dallas.
Victoria backed away toward the front entry doors of the residence.
She grabbed her leather handbag from the glass table near the entrance.
Victoria: You will regret making this call, Mark!
Mark walked toward the main living room, keeping his eyes on her.
Mark: You are not leaving this property until the police arrive.
He activated the automatic security gate lock from the main wall panel.
The heavy iron gates at the driveway locked tight with a click.
Victoria was trapped inside the grand mansion with no escape route.
