Sarah packed her bags quickly while Mark stayed downstairs with the baby.
The front door slammed shut as Sarah drove away into the bright afternoon sunlight.
Mark sat down on the leather sofa holding his precious daughter tight.
Ellen brought him a glass of cool water with steady hands.
He looked into the maid's kind eyes with deep gratitude.
Mark: You saved my baby's life today Ellen.
Ellen: I only did what any caring person would do sir.
Mark: I can never repay you for your brave action.
Ellen: I just care about this child's safety sir.
Mark noticed a small envelope sticking out from under the balcony couch upstairs.
He walked up the stairs slowly to check what Sarah had left behind.
He picked up the white paper document and opened it carefully.
It was a legal letter from a high-priced divorce lawyer in downtown Dallas.
The letter mentioned a massive payout from Mark's rich family estate.
It stated that Sarah would get full custody and the house if something bad happened.
Mark felt his blood turn completely cold as he read the words.
His marriage was built on absolute deceit and greedy lies.
Sarah had planned to take his wealth from the very beginning.
He walked back down to the living room with the papers in his hand.
Mark: Ellen did you know about these legal papers?
Ellen: I saw her talking secretly on the balcony phone yesterday.
Mark: She was planning to destroy our whole family.
Ellen: She was talking about taking your money and leaving town.
Mark pulled out his cell phone to call his chief legal adviser.
He needed to protect his child and his entire life's work immediately.
The police needed to know about this dangerous scheme right away.
