The Petals in the Water

Thrown Into the Mansion Pool

Sarah: What did you do to my daughter? Speak to me!

Victoria: I told you, she was playing near the edge and lost her footing. Toddlers are clumsy, Sarah. You shouldn't leave her unsupervised.

Elena: That is a lie! I saw her with my own eyes! She pushed little Lily right into the deep end!

Victoria: Keep your mouth shut, Elena! You're a maid in this house, and your employment can end in the next ten seconds!

Sarah: Don't you dare threaten her! Elena saved my child's life while you stood there watching her drown!

Victoria: I was about to call for help! You're making a scene over nothing, as usual. Look at her, she's fine!

Sarah: Fine? She's shaking! She almost died in this pool!

Sarah handed the crying toddler back into Elena's warm arms, stepping directly into Victoria's personal space. Her teeth were clenched so tightly her jaw trembled. The sun beat down on the quiet deck, highlighting the smug expression still lingering on Victoria's face.

Victoria: Get out of my face, Sarah. Remember whose estate you're standing on. My husband owns this house, not you.

Sarah: He was my husband first, Victoria! And this estate was bought with my family's trust fund!

Victoria: Was. Past tense, darling. You signed the divorce papers, and now Richard is mine. Everything here is mine.

Sarah: You took my husband, you tried to steal my child's inheritance, and today you tried to kill her!

Victoria: Nobody would ever believe a word from a washed-up ex-wife and a hired maid. Who do you think the police will trust?

Sarah: You think money makes you untouchable? You think you can hurt my baby and walk away?

Victoria: I think you need to take your quiet little custody allowance and leave before I have security throw you out.

Before Victoria could finish her sentence, Sarah pulled her hand back and slapped her hard across the face. The loud crack echoed off the concrete walls around the pool. Victoria staggered backward, her hand flying to her bright red cheek as her eyes widened in shock.

Victoria: You... you laid hands on me! You hysterical crazy woman!

Sarah: HOW DARE YOU TOUCH MY DAUGHTER! CALL 911 NOW, ELENA! 🇺🇸

Elena: Calling them right now, Mrs. Sarah!

Victoria: Put that phone down! Neither of you is calling anyone!

Sarah: Touch that phone and I swear to God I'll put you in that pool myself! You will pay for what you did today!

Victoria: You're insane! Richard will have you thrown in jail for assault!

Sarah: Let him try. Because when the police get here, they aren't going to look at my hand. They're going to look at the security cameras mounted right on that roof.
