My Wife Locked My Daughter In The Basement
I carefully peeled the tape off her mouth, and the sound of it ripping away from her skin made my heart ache.
This was not the first time that my wife had punished our daughter in the basement because of her male best friend’s child. It had caused Faye to develop nyctophobia. Her entire body was trembling.
The moment the tape came off, she cried so heartbreakingly that it hurt my heart. I carried her to the basement door, where a sliver of light shone through the crack.
With one arm holding Faye, I pounded on the door with the other and shouted, “Open this door, Ula! She is your own daughter! She’s terrified of the dark. If you leave her down here, something bad is going to happen!”
