The heavy iron handles of the front double doors rattled from the outside terrace.
Two tall federal agents in dark uniforms stepped into the bright marble entrance hall.
Victoria backed away until her heels pressed directly against the cold glass wall.
Victoria: Get these common people away from me this instant!
Sarah: It is time for you to face the consequences of your actions, Victoria.
Mark walked over to the front door and opened both leaves completely wide.
The warm Texas breeze blew through the open entryway into the marble house.
Mark: You are going straight to federal prison for grand corporate theft!
Victoria: My high-priced legal team will have this entire case dismissed by tonight!
Mark: Your lawyers already resigned after seeing the forensic accounting reports this morning.
Victoria lost her balance slightly as her expensive red heels slipped on the marble.
She looked at the uniformed officers as they produced a pair of steel handcuffs.
Victoria: Do not lay your dirty hands on my expensive silk designer dress!
The lead officer stepped forward with a firm look on his face.
Officer: You have the right to remain completely silent during this arrest, ma'am.
Mark grabbed Victoria's arm firmly to guide her toward the broad outdoor exit.
Her shoes scraped loudly against the polished white floor as she struggled to resist.
Victoria: Sarah, tell them to stop this right now and we can share the money!
Sarah: You had ten years to do the right thing, but you chose greed every time.
Mark thrust Victoria firmly past the wide double doors onto the stone porch.
The heavy dark wooden doors slammed shut behind her with a massive echoing thud.
The grand foyer fell into a peaceful silence under the warm morning daylight.
Sarah looked down at her sleeping baby and let out a long breath of pure relief.
Mark: The entire family estate is finally back in your safe hands, Sarah.
Sarah: My daughter will grow up in a home built on truth and real love now.
Mark handed the thick leather folder with the real deeds to Sarah with a smile.
She walked toward the high windows and looked out over the peaceful Texas estate.
The long dark nightmare was finally over, and a bright new chapter had just begun.
