The heavy sound of the front door echoed through home.
David let out a long breath he had been holding.
He sat down on the bottom step of the staircase.
Sarah stood a few feet away with a gentle smile.
Sarah: Are you going to be okay, Mr. Sterling?
David: I will be fine, Sarah. Thank you for today.
Sarah: I was so scared she would take little Leo.
David: You saved my son from a horrible legal disaster.
Sarah: I only did what any good person would do.
David looked up at the loyal nanny with deep respect.
David: You protected this family when I was not here.
Sarah: I care about Leo like he is my own.
David: I will increase your salary starting from this week.
Sarah: That is not necessary, Mr. Sterling, really.
David: It is the least I can do for your loyalty.
Ten minutes later, Arthur Pendelton arrived at the estate.
The distinguished lawyer walked inside carrying a black briefcase today.
Arthur: David, I came as fast as I could drive.
David: Thank you, Arthur. The documents are right here on table.
Arthur examined the forged title forms carefully under the lamp.
Arthur: This is clear fraud and attempted asset theft, David.
David: What are our immediate legal options for sole custody?
Arthur: We can file for emergency custody of Leo today.
David: Do whatever it takes to secure my son's safety.
Arthur: We will also freeze all joint bank accounts immediately.
David felt a sense of relief wash over his shoulders.
The truth was painful, but the danger was finally gone.
He walked upstairs to the sunlit and quiet baby nursery.
Leo was sleeping peacefully in his small wooden crib now.
David reached down and gently touched his son's hand.
David: Nobody will ever hurt or take you away, son.
Sarah stood quietly by the doorway watching the sweet moment.
Sarah: He is going to grow up safe and happy.
David: Thanks to you, our home is peaceful again today.
The sun shone brightly through the nursery window above them.
A bright future lay ahead for father and son together.
