Victoria walked slowly toward the nursery door with deliberate and quiet footsteps.
Hannah put down her cleaning supplies and quickly followed right behind her.
She saw Victoria pick up baby Lily's birth certificate and official legal guardianship papers.
Victoria had forged documents attempting to transfer full custody to an outside agency.
She planned to send the baby away while Ethan was still out of town.
Victoria: Say goodbye! You will never see this child again!
Victoria turned quickly toward the wide balcony edge with the legal documents.
She held the official file over the high railing, threatening to tear it apart.
Hannah rushed across the polished floor without thinking twice about her own safety.
She slid on her knees across the smooth marble surface near the grand railing.
Hannah: I have you! You will never destroy her future!
Hannah reached out and snatched the important custody papers safely into her hands.
She pulled the documents close to her chest and held them tightly.
Victoria turned around with a look of pure rage on her face.
She marched down the grand staircase in her heavy designer high heels.
Victoria: Give that child to me! You are nothing in this house!
Hannah: These papers belong to my daughter, and you have no right!
Victoria reached out to grab Hannah's shoulder and push her toward the door.
Before she could lay a finger on Hannah, the heavy front doors burst open.
Ethan rushed into the grand foyer, his coat drenched from the sudden rain.
He dropped his leather briefcase on the floor and stepped rapidly forward.
Ethan: Get away from my wife and child right now!
Victoria immediately changed her tone and put her hand over her chest.
She forced tears into her eyes and pointed an accusing finger at Hannah.
Victoria: Ethan, she tried to take your child away from us!
Victoria: She was stealing legal documents from your private desk upstairs!
Ethan stood perfectly still between the two women in the bright white room.
He looked at Hannah holding the papers while kneeling on the cold floor.
Then he looked up at Victoria, whose face was pale with sudden panic.
Ethan: The security cameras saw everything you did today, Victoria.
Victoria froze in place as if she had been hit by lightning.
She had forgotten that Ethan installed new security cameras throughout the mansion before leaving.
Every word and action on the balcony had been recorded in clear high definition.
