Chapter 4 - THE ARREST OF VICTORIA
Victoria’s eyes widened in horror as the cold steel cuffs snapped around her wrists behind her emerald green blazer.
"Unhand me this instant! Do you know who my husband is? He sits on the city council!" she roared, thrashing wildly.
The officers guided her firmly through the kitchen, past the ruined cake and shattered glass toward the front door.
Maya buried her face in Ethan's chest, shielding little Liam from the grotesque scene unfolding in their home.
"Ethan! Tell them to stop! You are destroying this family over a pathetic gold-digger!" Victoria screamed down the hallway.
Ethan didn't look back once as his mother was escorted down the front steps into the back of the flashing police cruiser.
The heavy oak front door clicked shut, leaving a heavy, suffocating silence hanging in the sun-drenched foyer.
Maya looked up at her husband, tears streaming down her pale cheeks onto her light blue slip dress.
"She's never going to stop, Ethan. She's going to try to take Liam away from us," Maya whimpered softly.

Ethan wrapped both arms securely around his small family, staring out the window as the police car drove away into the afternoon.
