Chapter 4 - The Cruel Confrontation BeginsElena decided she could not run away in fear and silence anymore.
She needed to tell Ethan the truth about his child and his wife's evil scheme.
She walked into the center of the bright luxury kitchen with her head held high.
Lily stood right beside her mother, holding her hand tightly for warmth and safety.
Victoria stepped back into the bright kitchen from the sunlit patio outside.
She saw Elena standing there with her bags packed beside the kitchen island.
Victoria: I thought I ordered you to leave my property immediately!
Elena: I am not leaving until I speak to Ethan face to face!
Victoria's eyes burned with uncontrollable fury as she gripped the heavy wooden stick tight.
Victoria: You dare defy me in my own luxury house?
Elena: He deserves to know that Lily is his biological daughter!
Victoria screamed in rage and raised the heavy wooden stick high up into the air.
Lily screamed and cried hysterically as tears streamed rapidly down her small face.
Lily: Mommy! Help us, Mommy!
Elena threw herself over her young child, crouching low on the polished kitchen floor.
She used her own body as a shield to protect Lily from any falling blow.
Victoria swung the heavy wooden stick down toward the defenseless maid kneeling down.
The impact hit the side of the wooden counter hard, rattling the glass cabinet doors.
Elena felt a painful blow graze her face as she pressed Lily close beneath her frame.
Elena: Please, don't hurt my child! She has done nothing wrong to you!
Victoria smiled maliciously as she raised the wooden stick high overhead to strike again.
Victoria: Dead people keep secrets, and you will stay silent forever!
Suddenly, the heavy front door slammed open with a terrifyingly loud crash.
Rapid, firm footsteps sprinted across the foyer marble toward the bright kitchen area.
Ethan rushed into the room, his dark suit jacket flying open in pure panic.
He took in the horrifying scene of his wife attempting to harm the defenseless maid.
Enraged beyond words, Ethan stepped forward with blazing fury in his brown eyes.
He delivered a powerful, firm slap across Victoria's face to stop her attack instantly.
The sharp sound echoed through the high ceilings like a sudden thunderclap.

Victoria spun around from the force and crashed violently into the marble kitchen island.
She dropped the heavy wooden stick as expensive glassware smashed everywhere on the floor.
