Elena wiped the wooden handrail of the staircase with a clean white cloth.
Her heart beat fast as she heard heavy footsteps coming down the hall.
Victoria pulled baby Emma along the floor in a very cruel manner.
The poor baby was crying loud tears that echoed off the tall walls.
Elena dropped her cloth and ran forward with her hands shaking in fear.
She could not stand by and watch a helpless child suffer like that.
Maid Elena: Please stop this cruelty right now!
Victoria: Mind your own business you foolish old woman!
Elena reached out her hands to shield the crying baby from harm.
Victoria shoved the older woman away with sudden and heavy force.
Elena fell hard onto the cold marble floor and hurt her face.
She touched her bruised cheek as tears welled up in her eyes.
Victoria laughed loudly and walked toward her private bedroom suite upstairs.
Elena stayed on her knees and held her sore cheek in great pain.
She knew she had to collect proof to show Mark the real truth.
Without strong evidence Mark might not believe a simple maid over his wife.
Victoria held control over the entire house and all the money accounts.
Elena crawled over to the baby and held the little girl close.
She whispered soft words to calm the frightened baby down again.
The infant nestled into Elena's warm shoulder and stopped crying softly.
Elena saw a small blue mark on the baby's tiny arm.
Her blood ran cold as she realized how dangerous Victoria really was.
She pulled out her cheap cell phone with trembling fingers.
She needed to record what was happening inside this lonely mansion.
If she failed to act, baby Emma would be in great danger.
Elena hid behind a large green plant near the wide hallway entrance.
She waited for Victoria to return so she could catch the truth.
