The grand luxury mansion hall was filled with bright daylight, polished white marble floors reflecting the grand chandeliers above.
Victoria: WHO INVITED THIS LITTLE TRASH?!
Victoria's champagne gold gown rustled as she raised a glass, violently splashing ice-cold water straight into six-year-old Lily's small face.
Lily gasped, her eyes stinging as water dripped down her pink dress and soaked the small brown teddy bear she held tightly against her chest.
Victoria: Look at you, dirtying my family's estate! Get away from me!
Lily: I'm... I'm sorry, ma'am! I was just waiting for my daddy!
Before the crying child could take a step back, Victoria raised her open hand and struck Lily hard across her cheek with full impact.
A sharp, brutal slap echoed through the vast hall, spinning the little girl around.
Lily: AHH! Mommy! Daddy!
Victoria: Keep quiet! You don't get to scream in my house!
Victoria raised her foot and forcefully kicked the child, sending Lily falling onto the polished marble floor.
Lily hit the hard stone floor with a soft thump, weeping hysterically while clinging tightly to her teddy bear.
Victoria sneered down at her, pulling her gold gown back as if touching the child would ruin her expensive dress.
Victoria: Security! Throw this filthy street beggar out onto the lawn right now!
Heavy, rapid footsteps suddenly thundered down the double staircase from the upper floor.
Julian, dressed in a dark blue tailored suit, sprinted into the grand hall, his eyes wide in pure shock and horror.
Julian: LILY?!
He saw his daughter sobbing on the floor, holding her bright red cheek, her dress soaked with water.
Julian's face filled with pure, terrifying fury as he stepped forward abruptly.
Before Victoria could even open her mouth to speak, Julian delivered a violent, full-force slap straight across Victoria's face.
The sound cracked through the hall like a gunshot, sending Victoria staggering back against the marble pillar.
Victoria: Julian?! You... you hit me?!
Julian: Shut your mouth!
Julian grabbed Victoria aggressively by her arm and hair, dragging her violently across the grand marble hall toward the main entrance doors.
Victoria: LET ME GO! YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!
High heels dragged across the marble as Victoria fought and screamed in complete panic.
Julian reached the double doors, threw them wide open, and forcefully shoved Victoria out onto the stone steps outside.
Victoria lost her balance, crashing hard onto the outdoor steps as her gold gown ripped along the seam.
Julian pointed sternly outside, his voice booming with terrifying authority.
Julian: DON'T YOU EVER TOUCH A CHILD AGAIN! GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!
