David stood up quickly from the hard floor while cradling little Lily securely in his arms.
His heart pounded like a heavy war drum inside his chest as anger consumed his thoughts.
He marched up the grand marble staircase with rapid, heavy footsteps that echoed through the home.
Sarah stepped back slowly against the framed American flag artwork hanging on the tall wall.
She tried to compose her shaky voice as David reached the top landing of the mansion.
David's eyes burned with fierce anger that Sarah had never seen in him before today.
David: Don't you ever dare touch my child again!
Sarah: David, please listen to me, it was a total accident!
David: You put my four-year-old daughter in mortal danger on that high ledge!
Sarah: She slipped from my hands while I was trying to teach her a simple lesson!
David: You are an absolute monster for putting her anywhere near that sharp drop!
Lily hid her wet face against David's neck while sobbing softly from the terrible shock.
David handed the crying child over to the frightened nanny who ran up the back stairs.
He instructed the loyal nanny to lock Lily safely inside the master bedroom downstairs immediately.
Once the child was safely out of sight, David turned back toward Sarah with total fury.
Sarah backed up into her private sitting room while attempting to defend her reckless behavior.
Sarah: You can't speak to me like this in my own expensive home, David!
David: This house belongs to my family trust, and you are no longer welcome here!
Sarah: I brought millions into our marriage, and you need my financial backing!
David: I don't care about your money or your high social status anymore, Sarah!
Sarah: If you throw me out, I will take half of your entire company in court!
David: Try whatever you want, but you are leaving this estate right this second!
Sarah realized her threats were not working on the desperate, angry father standing before her.
She picked up her luxury designer handbag off the velvet couch with shaking hands.
David pointed firmly toward the front door as his divorce lawyer was dialed on his phone.
David: Pack a single bag, because the security team will escort you off the property.
Sarah: You are making the biggest mistake of your entire life right now, David!
David: My only mistake was letting a cold snake like you near my innocent child.
