The morning sun was shining brightly over the massive estate owned by the wealthy Vance family.
Young Sarah walked carefully along the stone path carrying a tray of fresh orange juice.
She had worked as a maid for the family for over three years now.
Sarah loved her job because she truly cared for the small baby boy, little Leo.
Leo was only six months old and spent most of his mornings sleeping peacefully in his stroller.
His mother had passed away shortly after he was born, leaving his father Arthur heartbroken.
Six months ago, Arthur married a cold woman named Victoria, who only cared about his massive fortune.
Victoria hated the small infant because he was the sole heir to the entire estate and trust fund.
If anything happened to the baby, the entire inheritance would go directly to Victoria in a divorce or legal settlement.
Sarah kept a very close eye on Victoria whenever the woman was anywhere near the child.
On this warm morning, Victoria was standing near the edge of the deep swimming pool in a green dress.
Her face was twisted with anger as she looked down at the sleeping child inside the stroller.
Sarah stopped behind a tall hedge, her heart pounding with sudden deep anxiety.
She watched as Victoria looked around the backyard to see if any security guards were nearby.
Victoria gritted her teeth and whispered harsh words toward the helpless sleeping infant.
Sarah felt a cold shiver run down her spine as she set her serving tray down on a small table.
Something felt terrible about the way Victoria was leaning over the stroller handles.
The air was silent except for the quiet sound of the wind blowing through the large oak trees.
Sarah stepped closer to the pool, keeping her footsteps completely silent on the green grass.
She knew she had to protect the child no matter what happened on this sunny morning.
