The morning light poured through the tall glass windows of the grand lakeside mansion.
Clara adjusted her green apron as she checked on baby Emma in her soft stroller.
She had worked as a nanny for the Miller family for over six peaceful months.
David Miller was a busy business owner who loved his small daughter more than anything else.
His new girlfriend Victoria stood near the top of the white marble staircase sipping her morning coffee.
Victoria always looked perfect in her designer green dresses, but her eyes were cold toward Clara.
Clara turned her back for just one second to grab Emma's baby bottle off the silver kitchen tray.
A sudden metallic click echoed through the tall grand hallway.
Clara turned around and saw the stroller rolling rapidly toward the top edge of the steep stairs.
Her heart stopped as the front wheels slipped over the very first marble step.
Clara screamed out loud and sprinted forward across the slick polished floor.
The stroller bounced wildly as it sped down the dangerous flight of steps.
Clara did not hesitate for a single second to save the small child.
She threw her body down onto the hard marble landing at the bottom of the stairs.
Her knees slammed against the hard floor as she caught the handle just in time.
The heavy stroller came to a complete halt right against Clara's bruised chest.
Emma burst into loud panic tears, but the little girl was totally unharmed.
Clara pulled the crying baby tight into her arms while trembling uncontrollably from the terrifying shock.
She looked up at the top landing with tears streaming down her pale cheeks.
Victoria was already walking down the stairs with a look of extreme anger on her face.
Instead of checking on the crying baby, Victoria raised her hand and pointed directly at Clara.
The sound of heavy footsteps echoed through the grand front entryway.
David rushed into the main hall after hearing the sudden loud noise from his home office.
He stopped in his tracks when he saw Clara kneeling on the floor holding his crying baby.
Victoria put her hands on her face and began to cry loud dramatic fake tears.
David looked between the two women with deep panic and confusion in his blue eyes.
