The sound of police sirens hummed in the distance, getting louder as patrol cars pulled up the long driveway of the estate.
Clara: Arthur, please! I didn't steal the baby! It was my mother! I was just a teenager back then!
Arthur: But you knew. You recognized her when she applied to work here, and instead of telling me, you abused her! You slapped her across the face tonight to keep her quiet!
Clara: I was scared! I thought you would leave me if you found out!
Arthur: I am leaving you. And you are going to prison for extortion, conspiracy, and child trafficking accomplice charges.
Two police officers walked into the study, their handcuffs rattling on their belts.
Police Officer: Clara Sterling? You are under arrest for conspiracy to commit kidnapping and fraud.
Clara: Get your hands off me! Arthur, tell them to stop! You can't do this to me!
Arthur: Take her away.
The officers snapped the cold metal cuffs around Clara's wrists, leading her out of the room as she sobbed and screamed hysterically.
Maya let out a long breath she felt like she had been holding for years. She looked at Arthur, who was walking toward her with tears streaming down his face.
Arthur: It's over, Lily. It's finally over.
Maya: I can't believe my name is Lily.
Arthur: It's the name your mother chose for you before she passed. And tomorrow, we are going to change all your legal documents. You are a Sterling, and this mansion is your home.
