Heavy footsteps sounded from the private elevator as the estate's chief of security stepped out onto the marble floor accompanied by two local police officers.
Security Chief: Mr. Vance, we secured the perimeter and downloaded the security camera footage from the hallway monitors.
Ethan: Perfect. Give the flash drive directly to the officers.
Police Officer: Mrs. Vance, you are under arrest for attempted child abuse, reckless endangerment, and conspiracy to commit fraud.
Evelyn: Get your hands off me! Do you know who my father is?! You can't arrest a Montgomery!
Police Officer: We can and we just did. Turn around and put your hands behind your back.
Evelyn thrashed wildly against the officers, her silk robe tearing as cold steel handcuffs clicked securely around her slender wrists.
Evelyn: Ethan, you'll beg for me to come back! You'll never survive without my connections!
Ethan: I survived just fine before I ever met you, Evelyn. Take her out of my sight.
The heavy oak doors clicked shut as the police escorted the sobbing, screaming woman out of the penthouse suite.
Ethan: Clara... come here. Please.
Clara: Yes, Mr. Vance? Is the baby okay?
Ethan: He's sleeping peacefully now, all thanks to you. You risked your life to protect my son.
Clara: I just did what anyone with a heart would do, sir.
Ethan: From this moment on, you are no longer a nanny. You are the director of family operations, with a full college scholarship and a permanent home here in our family.
Clara stared at the billionaire in stunned silence as the bright natural daylight flooded the room, illuminating a future built on truth, loyalty, and justice.
