What Is The Plot Of Mothers' Instinct?

Elena thought she had the perfect marriage. For eight years, she loved her husband, Adrian, deeply and endured every hardship with patience. She suffered four heartbreaking "miscarriages" and underwent countless medical treatments, believing it was all due to genetic incompatibility. She trusted Adrian completely, thinking he was doing everything to save their future family. On their eighth anniversary, Elena finally received the miracle she had been waiting for—she was pregnant again. But her joy turned into horror when she discovered Adrian was not who she thought he was. Following a false alarm about his car exploding, Elena found him alive and cheating with none other than Celeste, her own adopted sister. But the worst truth was yet to be revealed. Elena overheard their conversation and learned the devastating reality: Her four babies were never lost naturally. They were intentionally removed and used as experimental material to cure Celeste’s infertility. Adrian had been murdering his own children to save his mistress, treating Elena merely as a tool and an incubator. Betrayed, heartbroken, and carrying a new life inside her that Adrian might also want to take away, Elena decides to stop being the naive wife. She hides her pregnancy and her knowledge, planning a cold and calculated revenge. She will destroy the man and the woman who stole everything from her, and she will protect her child at all costs, even if it means bringing them to hell.

When the power meter in the house trips, Mom's foster daughter, Juniper Hawthorne, is trapped in the dark for five minutes. Even though I have claustrophobia, Mom locks me in an empty, pitch-black room. "You knew Juniper was terrified of the dark, yet you intentionally shut off the power just to frighten her!
