Anna wasn't prepared for the sudden pull from inside the room, making her stumble and nearly fall.
The room was pitch black, and before she could react, a hot body pressed against her back.
Her expression hardened, and her reflexes kicked in before her mind could catch up.
She grabbed the person's shoulders and flipped him over, slamming him onto the ground.
Zach hit the floor with a painful groan, completely shocked by Anna's quick and skillful move.
Anna hurried to switch on the lights and saw only Zach in the room, his face flushed red in a strange way.
She instantly understood what was happening.
George had set her up to come to the Ives household, intending to throw her into Zach's hands!
No wonder he had agreed so easily earlier.
She rushed for the door, but it was locked tight from the outside, refusing to budge no matter how hard she tried.
