Julian cradled little Leo gently against his shoulder, kissing the child's soft cheek.
Julian: You saved my son today, Sarah.
Sarah: I only did what was right, sir.
Julian: You risked your life on that hard stone.
Sarah: I could not let anything happen to him.
Victoria stood near the doorway, her hands trembling with cold anger.
Victoria: You cannot throw me out into the street!
Julian: Watch me sign the papers today!
Victoria: I am your legal wife under the law!
Julian: That legal status ends this very hour!
Julian pulled out his phone again to dial his corporate family lawyer.
He demanded an emergency meeting to strip Victoria of all estate access.
He ordered his security team to enter the foyer and stand near the doors.
Two large guards stepped inside, blocking Victoria from entering the private rooms.
Julian: Escort this woman to her car right now.
Victoria: Julian, please listen to my side!
Julian: Do not ever step foot on my property again!
The guards led the screaming woman out into the heavy rain outside.
The heavy oak doors closed behind her, cutting off her shrill complaints.
The large foyer became quiet once more, filled only with the storm noise.
Julian walked over to the leather sofa in the nearby living room area.
He sat down heavily, still holding his sleeping boy tight against his coat.
He looked up at Sarah with deep gratitude written across his weary face.
He realized how close he had come to losing everything he truly loved.
His wealth meant nothing if his child was not safe in his home.
Julian: Sit down for a moment, Sarah.
Sarah took a seat on the chair across from the wealthy businessman.
Julian: She was planning this for weeks, wasn't she?
Sarah: I saw her reading your financial papers last night.
Julian: She wanted the life insurance and the land.
Sarah: She never cared about building a real family.
Julian shook his head in disgust at his own lack of judgment.
He had let a dangerous snake into the house because of his loneliness.
He knew he had to make drastic changes to protect his son's future.
He needed people around him who held true loyalty and honest hearts.
He looked at Sarah, who was still checking the baby's blanket for cold air.
She had shown more love for Leo than his stepmother ever had shown.
A new plan began to form in Julian's mind to fix his home.
He would make sure that Sarah never had to scrub another floor again.
She deserved a real position of respect and authority in the estate.
