Jaylene Ziel searched for a long time in the basement but couldn't find anything that could break the rope on her hands. Since the basement had been renovated, there were no sharp, angular walls.
Reluctantly, she eventually had to sit on the ground and rub her wrists on the edge of the two steps leading to the door above.
The steps were wrapped in wooden flooring, which was not sharp and did little to break the rope. It was a delusion to break the rope by rubbing it against the floor.
After weeks of torment, Jaylene's wrist was not only unbroken, but it was also deeply cut by the friction, causing her excruciating pain.
In the end, she clung to the hope that the maid would bring her food so she could break a bowl and hide a piece of porcelain to cut the rope while the maid went upstairs.
In movies and TV shows, she saw how people who were tied cut the rope on their wrists with broken tiles or broken porcelain pieces and escaped.
