Victoria gasped at David's sharp and cold words.
She felt the deep shame burning inside her heart.
The front double doors stood open to outside world.
A police car pulled up into the long driveway.
Red and blue lights flashed across the white walls.
David had called the local police off the phone.
He reported the attack on his little child clearly.
Victoria saw the lights and stopped in total shock.
Victoria: Why are the police here right now, David?!
David: You broke the law when you acted violently.
Victoria: I am your wife, you cannot arrest me!
David: You are a stranger who hurt my child.
Two police officers stepped into the big foyer entry.
They spoke to David with calm and serious voices.
David showed them the video on his phone screen.
The officers looked at the video clip very closely.
They saw Victoria shoving the child aggressively on screen.
The main officer turned toward Victoria with cool eyes.
Police Officer: Ma'am, you need to come with us.
Victoria: This is a mistake! I am innocent here!
Police Officer: Please put your hands behind your back now.
Victoria tried to pull away from the tall officer.
The officer put silver handcuffs on her two wrists.
The metal clicked softly in the silent white hall.
Victoria began to cry real bitter tears at last.
Her shiny bronze dress looked foolish in handcuffs now.
Her fake hair was messy and her face red.
The officers led her out through the front doors.
The guests for the evening party were arriving now.
They saw Victoria being loaded into the police car.
They whispered to each other in deep total shock.
Victoria hid her face as the door shut close.
The police car drove away down the long street.
David looked out at the bright green front yard.
A heavy weight lifted off his tired chest finally.
He turned around and looked at his small home.
Elena held little Lily, who was smiling softly now.
David: The dark days in this house are over.
Elena: Peace has finally returned to your family, sir.
