Victoria: Richard, think about your standing in the city! If this gets out, the press will destroy your company's stock price!
Richard: I don't give a single damn about my company stock!
Victoria: I am your fiancée! We are getting married in three weeks! The venue deposits are already paid!
Richard: The wedding is canceled, and you are going to prison!
Richard stood up abruptly, his towering frame casting a long shadow over the white bathtub. He pointed a firm finger straight at Victoria's face, his voice echoing off the high marble walls with absolute authority.
Richard: She attacked my child! Arrest her!
Victoria: Don't you touch me! I am Victoria Vance! You have no right to lay a hand on me in this house!
Officer Davis: Step out of the bathtub, ma'am! Put your hands behind your back immediately!
Victoria: I am covered in water! I am not getting out until I have a towel!
Officer Davis: You're getting out right now, ma'am, or we will remove you by force!
The two uniformed police officers didn't wait for her to comply. They stepped directly into the shallow water of the freestanding tub, their heavy boots splashing against the sides as they grabbed Victoria firmly by her wet silk arms.
Victoria: AHH! Get your filthy hands off me! Do you know who my father is?!
Officer Davis: I don't care who your father is, lady. You're under arrest for felony child abuse and assault with a dangerous substance.
Victoria: Richard! Stop them! Tell them it was a mistake!
The metal handcuffs clicked sharply into place around Victoria's wrists, pinning her hands behind her back over her wet robe. She thrashed and kicked her legs inside the tub, splashing soapy water all over the officers' trousers, but their grip remained unyielding.
Victoria: You ungrateful bastard, Richard! I gave up my career to move into this mansion with you!
Richard: You moved in here to get your hands on my late wife's estate trust!
Victoria: Your late wife was weak, just like her brat daughter!
Richard: Keep talking, Victoria. Every word you say is being recorded on those police body cameras.
The officers yanked Victoria out of the bathtub, her wet silk gown dripping water all over the pristine floor as she stumbled across the tiles. Her perfectly styled blonde hair fell loose around her face in messy, wet strands, completely destroying her polished appearance.
Victoria: I'll sue this entire police department! I'll hire the best defense team in Texas!
Officer Davis: Save your breath for the magistrate, ma'am. Let's move.
Richard stood towering over the entire scene, his face a mask of fierce anger as he watched the officers pull the disgraced woman toward the double doors.
Richard: You are leaving this mansion in chains for life!
Victoria: You'll regret this, Richard Sterling! You'll never see a single dime of my family's investment fund!
Richard: Keep your money! My daughter is worth more than everything you own!
The heavy doors closed behind them as the police dragged Victoria down the hallway, her shrill screams echoing through the mansion until the front entrance doors finally slammed shut.
