“You should not have gone downstairs,” Daniel said softly behind him.
Nathan turned around and saw Eleanor standing beside her husband silently.
Neither of them looked nervous or emotionally unstable anymore.
Instead, both appeared terrifyingly calm and completely in control.
Daniel explained the truth while locking the basement door carefully.
For years, the Ashfords kidnapped wealthy isolated individuals secretly.
The victims were psychologically manipulated and controlled underground for months.
Some were forced into fake identities and illegal financial operations.
Others simply disappeared forever after becoming useless to the couple.
The dinner parties existed only to select vulnerable new targets.
Nathan secretly recorded every word using his phone inside his pocket.
While Daniel spoke proudly, police sirens suddenly echoed outside above them.
Earlier that evening, Nathan had already shared his location with colleagues.
The police raided the mansion moments before Nathan disappeared completely.
Officers discovered hidden prison rooms beneath the Victorian estate.
More than twenty missing people were rescued underground that night.
Daniel attempted escaping through secret tunnels below the property.
But Eleanor betrayed him and revealed everything during interrogation afterward.
The shocking scandal spread across every newspaper in Britain instantly.
And the Ashford mansion remained abandoned forever after that night.
