Sarah: Put down that baby right now!

Elena: Please leave us alone, Sarah!

Sarah stepped forward and grabbed Elena’s arm tightly.

Elena: Stop it! You are hurting us!

Sarah: That baby does not belong to you!

Elena fell to the hard floor, holding her infant close.

Mark: What is going on in this hallway?

Elena: Please help me, Mark!

Mark looked at Elena with dark, furious eyes.

Mark: Don’t you ever dare touch my boy again!

Elena stood up and slapped Mark hard across his face.

The Secret In The Hallway

Elena walked down the wide hallway of the huge modern home.

She held her small baby boy warm against her chest.

The sunlight came through the large glass windows and made the bright hardwood floors shine brightly.

Elena worked hard as a full-time maid for the wealthy Vance family.

She loved her quiet morning work routine inside the huge house.

The large estate was always very quiet during the early morning hours.

Elena cleaned the tall wooden doors and wiped down the white wall molding with a soft cloth.

She wanted to make sure everything looked perfect for her rich employers.

Her cute baby slept peacefully in her arms while she walked.

Suddenly, quick footsteps sounded on the hard polished floor behind her.

Elena turned around quickly and saw Sarah walking fast toward her.

Sarah was the young wife of the rich home owner, Mark Vance.

She wore a bright pink expensive dress and looked very angry.

Her eyes were wide and red as she glared right at Elena.

Elena stepped back slowly against the white wall.

She felt a sudden cold wave of deep fear inside her heart.

Sarah: Give me that child right now!

Elena: No, Sarah, please stay away from my baby!

Sarah reached out her hands and grabbed Elena’s green uniform roughly.

Elena pulled back hard to protect her small sleeping child.

The two women struggled back and forth in the bright hallway.

Sarah: He does not belong to a poor maid like you!

Elena: He is my son and you cannot take him!

Sarah pulled harder on Elena’s arms with all her strength.

Elena lost her footing on the slick hardwood floor.

She dropped down to her knees to shield her small infant.

Her baby started crying loudly from the sudden rough movement.

Elena held her child very tight against her heart.

She looked up with tears falling down her warm cheeks.

Heavy wooden doors at the end of the hallway burst open wide.

Mark Vance rushed into the long hall wearing his neat grey suit.

He stopped fast and looked at the two women on the floor.

Elena thought Mark would save her from his angry wife.

She called out to him with a breaking voice.

Elena: Please help me, Mark!

Mark ran over quickly and knelt down on the hard floor.

His face was full of deep concern and sudden panic.

He looked closely at the crying baby in Elena’s arms.

Then his dark eyes turned cold and glared straight at Elena.

His breathing was very heavy as he clenched his hands into tight fists.

Mark: Don’t you ever dare touch my boy again!

Elena gasped loudly in total shock at his cruel words.

She realized then that Mark and Sarah were working together against her.

They wanted to take her biological child away forever.

Anger burned bright inside Elena’s hurting heart.

She stood up quickly on her feet and faced the rich man.

Elena swung her hand and slapped Mark hard across his cheek.

The loud slap echoed through the quiet luxury hallway.

Mark fell back in shock and held his red face with his hand.

A Mother Under Fire

Mark sat on the shiny floor, staring up in utter disbelief.

He had never been hit by anyone in his entire life.

Sarah screamed loudly in surprise and ran to her husband’s side.

Sarah: How dare you slap my husband, you crazy girl!

Elena: Stay away from us, both of you!

Elena backed away down the hall, holding her baby firm.

Her small boy stopped crying and looked up at his strong mother.

Mark stood up slowly and adjusted his fine grey suit jacket.

His face was bright red where Elena had struck him.

Mark: You will regret doing that, Elena.

Elena: You cannot steal my child just because you have money!

Mark took a slow step forward with a cruel smile on his face.
