The heavy brass door handles rattled loudly under Sarah's desperate trembling hands.
Two security guards stepped out from the side corridor to block the exit.
Andrew's voice was remarkably cold and calm as he spoke into his phone.
Andrew: Please send officers to the main estate driveway right away officer.
Sarah: Andrew please do not ruin our upcoming wedding over this maid!
Andrew hung up his phone and slid it back into his jacket pocket.
He walked over to where Clara was standing with the two young boys.
He reached out his right hand gently to help Clara stand up tall.
Andrew: I am so deeply sorry for believing those horrible lies back then.
Clara: I never stopped loving you or our sweet young twin boys.
Leo grabbed Clara's hand on one side while Toby grabbed the other side.
The twin boys looked up at their parents with bright hopeful shining eyes.
Leo: Are you going to stay with us forever now Mommy please?
Clara: I will never leave your side ever again my sweet little angels.
Sarah began crying hysterically as the reality of her crime set in deep.
Sarah: I spent six years building this perfect rich life with you!
Andrew: You built a life out of fraud and heartless deceit Sarah.
Andrew turned his back on Sarah and pulled Clara into a warm embrace.
The warmth of her presence felt instantly familiar after all these cold years.
He remembered the smell of fresh lavender in her soft brown dark hair.
The young boys wrapped their small arms around both of their parents' legs.
Toby: Our family is finally back together inside our home today Daddy!
Outside the window the blue flashing lights of police cruisers approached fast.
The tires crunched loudly against the wet gravel of the long front driveway.
Sarah sank down onto the marble floor weeping in utter defeat and shame.
Her bright blue silk dress spread out around her like a spilled liquid.
The heavy weight of justice was finally coming to settle all old debts.
