Vanessa: Get off me! David, call my attorney! Call Richard immediately!
David: Your attorney? The one paid for by my family's estate? You'll be lucky if you get a public defender after what I'm about to do.
Vanessa: You can't leave me in jail! I am the mother of your heir!
David: You are a threat to his life. Officers, take her away.
As the police escorted a screaming Vanessa out the front door, the house finally fell into a heavy, suffocating quiet. David sank into a armchair, burying his face in his hands. His shoulders heaved as he struggled to process the nightmare that had unfolded in less than twenty minutes.
Nann: Mr. Miller... here, take your son. He's calm now.
David: Thank you, Nann. I... I don't even know how to begin thanking you. If you hadn't run into that room...
Nann: I just did what anyone who loves a child would do. I could never let anything happen to little Noah.
David: She was my wife for two years, and I had no idea who she really was. I thought she was just obsessed with Instagram...
Nann: Mr. Miller, there's something else you need to know. Something I overheard last night.
David: Overheard? What do you mean?
Nann: She was talking on the phone in the pantry around midnight. She didn't know I was sweeping the back hall.
David: Who was she talking to?
Nann: She called him Richard. She said, 'Once the baby is injured, David will be declared unfit due to emotional stress, and the multi-million-dollar trust fund will transfer directly to me as legal guardian.'
David snapped his head up, his face turning pale as paper. His eyes widened in absolute horror.
David: The trust fund... My father established a ten-million-dollar trust for my firstborn child. It has a specific clause about parental incapacity.
Nann: She wasn't just doing this for social media likes, sir. She was trying to frame you for negligence so she could take full control of the estate.
David: She was going to destroy my life, hurt my baby, and lock me away in a mental facility just for money!
Nann: She mentioned a divorce lawyer too. Someone named Marcus Vance.
David: Marcus Vance... he's the most aggressive custody attorney in the state. She had this entire legal strategy planned out before Noah was even born.
Nann: What are you going to do now, Mr. Miller?
David: I'm going to call my family estate lawyers. We're filing for an emergency divorce, full custody, and a complete freeze on every joint bank account she has access to.
Nann: And the baby?
David: Noah stays with me. And if you're willing, Nann... I want to hire you full-time as his head guardian and nanny, with triple your current salary.
