Even the servants had been dismissed, leaving us utterly alone.
Footsteps thundered downstairs. I yanked Hannah into the bathroom and hid in the bathtub behind the curtain.
"Stay calm," I whispered. "The nursery has a steel door with a code lock. They can't get in easily. We need to stay safe first."
Hannah nodded and fumbled with her phone, pulling up the security feed. The grainy image showed the nursery door was being battered, and Aldo's cries grew louder.
