Ethan stepped forward, his expression cold and unyielding. He signaled to the security guards behind him, who immediately stepped up on either side of Victoria.
Ethan: You are going straight to federal prison!
Victoria: Get your hands off me! Do you know who I am? You can't touch me!
Victoria shrieked as Ethan firmly grabbed her by the arm, guiding her forcefully across the bright marble floor toward the open front entrance of the luxury estate.
Victoria: Clara! Tell him to stop! You wanted the urn, right? You have it! Just let me go!
Clara: You spent years making me feel worthless in this house, Victoria. You treated my mother like she was nothing, and you treated me even worse. I’m not stopping him.
Victoria: You ungrateful little brat! This is my house! You don't belong here!
Ethan: Keep walking, Victoria.
Ethan pulled her through the heavy double doors and forcefully pushed her outside onto the grand porch steps of the Dallas mansion. Victoria stumbled on her high heels, landing hard on the concrete steps in her crumpled gold dress.
Ethan: Get out of my house forever!
Victoria: You’ll regret this, Ethan! I will destroy both of you!
With a loud, decisive thud, Ethan slammed the massive wooden doors shut, locking them firmly from the inside. The muffled sound of Victoria screaming and pounding on the outside doors faded as the security guards stepped outside to escort her off the property.
Inside the foyer, a heavy silence fell. Clara stood near the center of the room, clutching the silver urn tightly. Her heart was beating fast, her mind spinning from everything that had just happened.
Ethan: She’ll never hurt you again, Clara. I promise you that.
Clara: I can't believe it... all these years, I thought I was completely alone in the world.
Ethan: You were never alone. I tried to reach out earlier, but Victoria intercepted my calls and kept us apart. But father made sure you would be protected in the end.
Clara: What happens now?
Ethan: Now, we fix everything she broke. Come, sit down. There’s someone you need to meet.
