The morning light streamed into the grand marble foyer of the estate.
Elena adjusted her clean white apron as she polished the high mahogany tables.
She had worked for the Vance family for nearly two whole years.
Her main duty was caring for little baby Leo after his mother passed away.
Charles Vance was a wealthy man who loved his newborn son more than life itself.
However, six months ago, Charles had married a cold woman named Victoria.
Victoria never cared for the infant and treated the household staff with deep contempt.
Elena heard sharp footsteps echo near the top of the grand curved staircase.
She looked up and saw Victoria standing right near the polished wooden railing.
Victoria wore a glittering red dress that caught the morning sunlight brightly.
In her arms, she held baby Leo wrapped tightly in a white blanket.
Elena felt her stomach drop as she saw how close Victoria stood to the edge.
Victoria leaned over the railing with a dark and mocking smile on her face.
Victoria: Watch carefully! Should I drop him right now?
Elena gasped in horror and immediately dropped her yellow cleaning cloth.
She dropped down to her knees on the cold marble floor below.
Elena: No, please! I beg you, don't drop him!
Victoria laughed softly as she looked down at the desperate young maid.
Victoria: You care so much for this little brat, don't you, Elena?
Elena: He is just an innocent child who never did any harm to you!
Victoria: He stands between me and the entire family fortune, you stupid girl.
Elena raised her hands in a silent prayer while tears spilled down her cheeks.
She knew that Charles was expected home from his business trip at any minute.
If she could just delay Victoria, the child might stay safe from harm.
Victoria adjusted her grip on the small bundle with a sinister look in her eyes.
Victoria: Let's see if your prayers can save him today.
Without another word, Victoria opened her hands and let the baby fall forward.
Elena screamed as the white bundle plummeted down toward the hard stone floor.
