Chapter 3 of 5

A Rich Mother Pushed a Child into the Pool

A Cruel Act of Fury

Evelyn stood right over the young boy as he looked into the water.

Her face was twisted with pure hatred and cold resentment.

She believed that this small boy stood between her and total financial control.

Without warning, she reached out her hands toward Toby's back.

She shoved the helpless four-year-old straight into the deep water.

A loud splash erupted in the bright blue pool with force.

Water flew high into the air, soaking the surrounding stone tiles.

Sarah opened her eyes and let out a bloodcurdling scream of pure terror.

Sarah: MY BABY!

She scrambled off the lounge chair and sprinted toward the water edge.

Toby was struggling frantically beneath the surface, kicking his tiny legs.

Sarah did not hesitate for a single second to save her child.

She leaped headfirst into the deep pool with all her clothes on.

The cold water hit her skin as she kicked hard toward the bottom.

She grabbed Toby under his arms and pulled his head above water.

Toby coughed hard and cried loudly, clinging tightly to her wet shirt.

Sarah: HOLD ON, SWEETIE! I GOT YOU!

She swam frantically toward the edge, holding her son above the surface.

Mark rushed out of the glass patio doors after hearing the huge splash.

His face went pale as he saw his wife and child in the water.

He dropped to his knees at the edge of the poolside pavement.

He reached down with his long arms and lifted Toby out safely.

Sarah grabbed Mark's hands and pulled herself up onto the hard tiles.

She collapsed onto her knees, wrapping her arms around her shivering son.

Toby was sobbing loudly, his small body trembling from shock and cold.

Mark held them both, his chest heaving with deep panic and alarm.

He looked up to see his mother Evelyn standing silently near the doorway.

She had a cold, distant expression on her face, without a single tear.

Sarah pointed an accusing wet hand directly at the older woman.

Her voice shook with uncontrollable rage and emotional agony.

Sarah: SHE SLAPPED HIM AND THREW HIM INTO THE POOL!

Mark turned his head slowly toward his mother in total disbelief.

His face contorted into intense, gritting fury with his jaw tight.

The silence in the sunlit backyard grew heavy and terrifying.

He stood up slowly from the pool edge, staring at his mother.

Evelyn did not step back or apologize for what had just happened.

She folded her arms and claimed the boy had simply tripped over himself.

Mark stormed across the patio toward her with fast aggressive strides.

His hands were clenched into tight fists at his sides.

He grabbed Evelyn by her shoulders and shoved her onto a lounge chair.

Evelyn gasped loudly as she hit the thick cushion with a thud.

Mark stood over her, his finger pointed inches from her face.

Mark: GET OUT OF MY HOUSE AND NEVER COME BACK!
