The morning light streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Sterling mansion.
Little baby Lily lay crying on the large beige sofa in the main living room.
Her tiny pink jumpsuit shook as her small fists waved helpless in the air.
Victoria sat right beside the crying baby on the soft plush cushions.
She wore a dark emerald-green dress that cost thousands of dollars.
Her face showed complete irritation rather than motherly love or soft gentle comfort.
She held a heavy black remote control tightly in her manicured hand.
The baby continued to cry loudly because she was hungry and tired.
Victoria sighed heavily and tapped her long designer nails against her phone.
She leaned toward the crying baby with a sharp look in her dark eyes.
Elena came walking down the long hallway carrying a stack of clean white towels.
She wore her simple black-and-white housekeeper uniform proudly every single day.
Elena stopped in her tracks the moment she heard the baby crying so hard.
She noticed Victoria sitting right there doing absolutely nothing to help the poor child.
Elena dropped the towels onto a nearby wooden chair without a second thought.
She rushed across the polished marble floor toward the sofa with quick frantic steps.
Elena: Is she alright, ma'am?
Victoria: Back off, Elena!
Victoria turned quickly and grabbed Elena's arm with a tight harsh grip.
Victoria: Stay back! I said I've got this!
The heavy black object slipped from Victoria's fingers and hit the hardwood floor.
It made a loud sharp clatter that echoed off the high grand ceiling.
Elena did not care about the sharp pain in her gripped arm at all.
She pulled herself free and reached down toward the crying baby girl.
Elena gently lifted baby Lily off the beige sofa into her warm arms.
She held the little girl securely against her chest and rocked her soft.
Elena: Don't worry, sweetheart. You're safe with me!
The baby's sharp cries instantly turned into small soft quiet whimpers.
Victoria stood up quickly and pulled her green dress down with anger.
Victoria: Put her down right now!
Elena: She needs care, Victoria.
Just then, heavy footsteps sounded from the dark archway of the grand foyer.
Arthur Sterling walked into the sunlit room wearing a black tuxedo for his meeting.
He was a powerful CEO who managed a massive real estate estate business.
Arthur stopped dead in his tracks when he saw the emotional scene before him.
He looked at Elena holding his crying daughter so tightly against her chest.
Then he looked at Victoria, whose face was flushed red with pure rage.
Arthur: Someone tell me what happened!
Victoria smoothed her dark hair back and stepped toward her rich husband.
Victoria: You're judging me without knowing the truth!
Arthur looked sternly at his new wife and gestured directly toward his baby daughter.
Arthur: Then explain yourself. Right now!
