The heavy mahogany front doors swung open once more, this time admitting two uniformed police officers whose boots echoed sharply across the marble floor. Clara stood near the base of the grand staircase, watching with quiet satisfaction as the nightmare that had haunted the Sterling estate finally reached its bitter end.
Officer Miller: Mr. Sterling? We received a distress call regarding an assault and child endangerment on the premises.
Richard: Right here, officer. This woman physically abused my son in my own home, and I have the server footage to prove every second of it.
Selena: It's a setup! They're lying to get out of the divorce settlement!
Officer Miller: Save it for the station, ma'am. Put your hands behind your back.
The cold click of steel handcuffs echoed through the luxurious foyer as Selena was hauled to her feet by the responding officers, her expensive leather dress dragging against the floor.
Julian: Daddy... is she really gone for good?
Richard: She's never coming back, son. You are safe, and this family is finally healed.
As Selena was dragged out into the bright afternoon sunlight toward the waiting police cruisers, Clara walked over to hand Julian a warm glass of water.
Clara: Let's get you cleaned up, young man. The dark days in this house are officially over.
Richard smiled softly, wrapping a protective arm around both his son and his loyal housekeeper as peace finally returned to the grand estate.
