The grand double doors of the estate opened to a cold and quiet foyer.
Elena stood near the marble staircase while holding little baby Leo tightly against her chest.
Her hands were shaking softly as she wrapped the blue blanket around the young child.
Victoria walked down the wide hallway with her expensive heels clicking loudly against the marble floor.
She looked down at Elena with pure disgust and anger in her dark eyes.
Victoria: Why are you still standing in my house?
Elena: I was just feeding baby Leo his afternoon milk, ma'am.
Victoria: You were taking too long, and you ignored my instructions.
Elena kept her head down because she did not want to cause any trouble.
She had worked as a live-in nanny for six months now.
Every single day felt harder than the day before because of Victoria's harsh demands.
Victoria stepped closer and pointed her long red fingernail right at Elena's face.
Victoria: You think you are special just because my husband hired you?
Elena: No, ma'am, I am only here to care for the baby.
Victoria: You are a nobody, and you can be replaced in two minutes.
Elena felt a tear slide down her cheek, but she stayed quiet.
She cared deeply for baby Leo, who was only eight months old.
The child was always calm and happy when he was in Elena's gentle care.
Whenever David left for business trips, Victoria changed her attitude completely.
She barely looked at the baby and screamed at the house staff constantly.
Elena had noticed marks on the baby's arms weeks ago and grew very suspicious.
She recorded every strange event in a small leather notebook hidden in her room.
Victoria grabbed the baby's blanket roughly and pulled it back.
Victoria: Give him to me right now!
Elena: Please be gentle, he was just sleeping!
Victoria: Do not tell me how to handle my own child!
Victoria snatched the child away without any care or warmth.
Baby Leo began to cry loudly as soon as he left Elena's arms.
Elena stepped forward, but Victoria pushed her shoulder back roughly.
Victoria: Get out of my sight before I call the police on you!
Elena wiped her eyes and refused to move away from the baby.
She knew that leaving the house would mean leaving Leo completely unprotected.
The heavy front doors unlocked and swung open slowly from the outside.
