Leo tumbled down the hard stone steps with a loud crashing sound.
He cried out in pure terror as he fell toward the bottom landing.
Elena threw down her dusting cloth and rushed forward with all her speed.
She slid across the slippery floor and caught the crying child in her arms safely.
Leo held onto Elena's blue uniform while sobbing uncontrollably against her shoulder.
Elena checked his arms and legs to make sure no bones were broken from the fall.
Her heart pounded wildly inside her chest as anger boiled up inside her body.
Victoria walked slowly down the marble stairs with a cold smirk on her face.
She showed no remorse or fear for what she had just done to the small child.
Elena stood up quickly and kept Leo behind her protective body on the floor.
Victoria: Step aside, you useless servant, and leave us alone right now.
Elena: Get your hands away from him right this second, Victoria!
Victoria reached out to grab Leo's arm again with a cruel expression.
Elena raised her voice loudly to defend the terrified young boy in her care.
Elena: You will never touch this innocent child ever again while I breathe!
Victoria tried to shove Elena out of her way near the wide foyer entrance.
Elena firmly blocked her path and held her ground against the cruel woman.
She confronted Victoria directly about the severe crime she had just committed.
Victoria: Nobody will ever take the word of a poor maid over mine!
Elena: The truth will come out today whether you like it or not!
Suddenly, the heavy front double doors of the grand mansion swung wide open.
