She fell on the ground regretting her every second when she thought of adopting Aiden, he was dangerous but she wasn't going to sit back and let her family suffer.

After a few minutes, as she regained her senses, she ran to Ed to tell him everything.
As she reached her bedroom, she saw Ed had placed Aiden on the bed and was rubbing his forehead, "Ed, listen to me right now!" she shouted and Aiden just flinched in terror well he pretended. Ed told Aiden to rest and grabbed Kathy by her arm and dragged her from the staircase to the drawing room. "What the fuck you wanna talk about? Only if Aiden wouldn't have called me today then you would have abused him! You know what, I thought you would become alright after adoption but it seems like you have worsened and now I can't tolerate you in this house for atleast some while".
"Oh! So Aiden called you!"she only said this with tears in her eyes.
"Yes, and that's how I saved him from your animalistic behaviour" Ed shouted.
"Fine, so you want to throw me out of this house"Kathy said in a heavy voice with tears continously running down her cheeks.
"I didn't say that but yes I want you to be away from the kids for a few days" Ed replied in a sad tone.
"Ok, I'll go but at one condition, Aiden goes out too, I don't trust him around my kids" Kathy ordered.
"Woah! woah! What do you mean by my kids, Is Aiden not your kid?" Ed said pissed off by her attitude.
"Not anymore".
"Well, I don't think so, so you just stay out of this house for a while and I'll handle the rest" Ed said confidently and went to their room.

She fell on the couch thinking how her life has got ruined only by a single decision. She didn't remember when she dozed off on the couch.

Late at midnight

Kathy heard some screeching noise and as she opened her eyes her breath got caught in her throat.There she was in her own house's basement with her arms tied behind her back and legs chained to the metal pole with only a dim lamp on the rusted table restricting her to see properly. She could have screamed but her mouth was gagged with a ball gag paining her jaw.
She then too cried for help but no one heard her as the basement was too low to be heard from the house.

One hour

Two hours

Three hours

Many hours passed but no one came to help her.

A tight splash of cold water jerked her body and she immediately opened her eyes.
She was shook.
