The bright morning sun streamed through the towering glass windows of the luxury Dallas estate.
Sarah stood in the grand foyer with her baby held securely in her arms.
She looked around at the towering white marble walls and expensive American flag artwork.
Her heart pounded against her ribs because she had not stepped inside this home for ten years.
Victoria marched down the wide curved staircase wearing a crimson designer dress and dark heels.
She held a golden pen in one hand and looked at Sarah with total disgust.
Victoria: Why are you standing in my hallway like a common trespasser?
Sarah: I came here to discuss my father's original trust fund documents with the family lawyer.
Victoria: Our father left everything to me, so turn around and leave right now.
Sarah shifted her baby slightly to keep the small girl comfortable and warm.
She refused to look down because she knew the truth about her father's final wishes.
Sarah: The probate court never validated your forged papers, Victoria.
Victoria: Do not speak to me about probate laws inside my own house!
Victoria pointed her long fingernail directly toward the carved wooden front doors.
Her voice echoed off the polished stone floor and filled the silent mansion with noise.
Victoria: Get out of my sight right now, you absolute trash!
Sarah took a deep breath to stay calm for her innocent child.
She stepped back slowly toward the door to avoid any further conflict.
Sarah: We can let the judges decide who actually owns this property next week.
Victoria: You will not make it to court to embarrass my business reputation!
Victoria stepped forward rapidly with her face red from intense anger.
She raised her hand high in the air to strike Sarah down.
A sudden voice roared from the upper hallway before anyone could move.
Mark: Stop right where you are standing, Victoria!
Mark ran down the marble steps with a heavy black leather folder in his hand.
He placed himself directly between the two women before any harm could happen.
His dark suit caught the bright daylight as he held his arm out like a shield.
Mark: Step away from her immediately and put your hands down!
Victoria glared at Mark with shock written across her heavy makeup.
Victoria: You are just an executive officer here, so do not order me around!
Mark: Touch her again and you are done in this city forever!
