The morning sun glared off the bright white marble of the entrance, casting long, sharp shadows across the front porch.
Victoria: GET OUT!
The harsh scream shattered the quiet neighborhood as Victoria, dressed in an expensive black lace dress, stood towering over the doorway.
Clara: PLEASE, NO!
Clara knelt on the cold marble floor, clutching her newborn baby tight against her chest while tears streamed down her red, swollen cheeks.
Victoria: YOU'RE NOTHING BUT A BURDEN!
Clara: She's only two weeks old, Victoria! Please, it's freezing out here!
Victoria: I don't care if it's freezing! You don't belong in this family!
Victoria grabbed a heavy leather suitcase from the foyer and hurled it down onto the driveway with a deafening thud.
Clara gasped in fear, crawling backward across the sharp marble tiles to shield her baby from the flying debris.
Daniel: WHAT IS HAPPENING?!
Daniel, dressed in a sleek dark suit, stepped out onto the porch, looking between his furious mother and his crying wife in complete shock.
Victoria: I'm clearing the trash out of your life, Daniel! She's a nobody from the streets, and she's ruined our reputation long enough!
Daniel: Mom, stop this right now! She's my wife!
Victoria: She was a mistake! And today, that mistake ends!
Before Daniel could step down to help Clara, a loud engine revved in the distance, tires screeching wildly around the corner.
A sleek black luxury sedan pulled up rapidly right outside the bright marble gates, kicking up dust in the morning light.
The heavy rear door slammed open, and an older, distinguished man in a tailor-made suit rushed out toward the entrance.
Arthur: MY DAUGHTER! I FINALLY FOUND YOU!
The powerful billionaire ran up the marble steps, ignoring Victoria completely as he threw his arms around the sobbing young mother.
Daniel: CHAIRMAN?!
Daniel and Victoria froze in absolute horror as they recognized the man holding Clara in his arms.
The powerful titan of industry looked up with cold, lethal eyes, leaving Victoria paralyzed with fear as the truth finally hit her.
