Alone inside the room at Luke's apartment, Ana is tied to the hard wooden chair once again, just where Luke had left her before going to see that the breakup letter he had forced Ana to write was delivered to Christian. Once again, her hands are tied behind the back of her chair with one piece of rope, while a second rope keeps her ankles tightly bound together as well. The red bandanna that Luke had gagged her with is stuffed inside her mouth again, with both ends of the bandanna tightly knotted behind her head.
This time, however, Ana stood a fighting chance to possibly get loose from the stubborn ropes that Luke had tied her up with. Just within reach from the back pocket of her blue jeans was the broken piece of glass from the small mirror she had secretly and quietly shattered when Luke had allowed her to use the bathroom earlier. Ana was able to maneuver her limber body by arching her back as much as she could until she could reach into that back pocket with her bound hands.
As soon as she could feel the piece of glass, Ana carefully secured it between the index finger, middle finger and thumb of her right hand while slowly pulling the glass out of her pocket, making sure she didn't let go of it. Holding that piece of glass as tightly as she could, Ana began cleverly sawing through the fibers of the nylon rope around her wrists. At first, it was impossible for Ana to be able to tell if she was making any progress at cutting the rope apart, especially since she couldn't turn her head around far enough to be able to see the 3/8-inch thick rope around her wrists behind her.
However, Ana was not about to give up now. She had to get loose before Luke returned to her. This was perhaps her one and only chance. A determined Ana continued trying to cut through the rope keeping her hands tied. She wanted so badly to get out of this place and to run to Christian as fast as she could so she could be completely honest with him about everything that had happened between her and Luke. Although Ana obviously hoped Christian would forgive her, she certainly wouldn't have blamed him if he didn't. No matter what, Christian deserved the truth.
Several minutes had passed, and Ana still had not been able to cut herself loose. Although she kept trying to carve through the rope with the glass, it was beginning to feel hopeless. Ana was starting to feel resigned to her own fate. She wondered if perhaps this was her destiny. She had been unfaithful to Christian, and it felt as though the Universe was paying her back by Luke plans of kidnapping her and taking her away. If only she hadn't succumbed to her innermost desires with Luke, Ana never would have been in this position.
Ana then began to feel an intense hatred towards Luke. Christian had assigned him to be her bodyguard. He was supposed to be her protector, but instead he had taken advantage of Ana. Christian had placed an enormous amount of trust in Luke, given how much he loved Ana, but Luke had betrayed that trust. This intense anger towards Luke did not remove one ounce of guilt from Ana for allowing herself to be seduced by him. She was just as angry at Luke as she was with herself. However, she hated the idea of allowing Luke to continue making her so vulnerable by kidnapping her and taking her away from Seattle and away from Christian. There was no way she could let him get away with this.
The fingertips holding the broken piece of glass in her right hand were moving back and forth faster and faster, as she continued trying her best to slice through the rope keeping her hands tied. She was almost on the verge of giving up when it suddenly felt as though the rope was becoming looser and looser around her wrists. Finally, Ana was able to completely cut through the rope until it became loose enough so that she could pull her hands free!
As soon as the rope fell to the floor behind her chair, Ana bent forward and immediately began to untie the rope from around her ankles. It took a minute for Ana to loosen the stubbornly tight knots to the rope keeping her feet tied together, but at last, she was able to get her feet loose from the rope!
Finally free from her bondage, Ana stood up from the chair and made a run for the door, while reaching behind her head so that she could untie her gag. After opening the door to the room where Luke had been keeping her tied up, Ana ran down the hallway as fast as she could towards the front door of Luke's apartment. Ana was about to be free at last, or at least so she thought. As soon as she opened the front door, Luke was just about to enter through that very same door at the exact same time!
"How did you get manage to get yourself untied?" said a stunned Luke, as he pushed Ana back into the apartment before slamming the front door closed.
"Let me go!" Ana shouted, as she was able to move past him and back towards the front door. Before she could get her hands on the door knob, Luke quickly grabbed her from behind and placed her in a bear hug. "HELP! SOMEBODY HELP ME!" Ana shouted, as Luke held her in his grasp.
With his right arm still tightly draped around Ana's midriff, Luke quickly took out a bottle of chloroform and a white rag from the left pocket of his jeans. After dousing the rag with chloroform, Luke immediately held the rag up to Ana's mouth, thereby muffling her attempts to scream out for help. Ana was struggling like a wildcat at first, trying her best to break loose from Luke's iron-clad grip, but this only made Luke hold onto her that much tighter from behind.
All of the excitement from the moment only caused Ana to breathe in the overpowering vapors of the chloroform that much quicker. Before she knew it, Ana's world slipped into darkness, as she fell unconscious into Luke's arms.
Once Ana was knocked out, Luke quickly picked her up and carried her bridal style towards a window in his apartment that led to a fire escape. It was past dusk at this point in the evening, so nobody could see Luke, as he carried his beautiful captive through the open window and on to the fire escape. Luke then carried Ana downstairs to the alley below, where his black Mercedes sedan was waiting. After placing Ana's body into the trunk of the car, Luke got into the driver's seat, cranked up the engine, and sped away into the Seattle night.
