Manell was home alone relaxing on her patio. She didn't know it, but someone was hiding in the bushes and stalking her. Slowly, the masked man creeped up on her, but suddenly, her cell phone rang from inside. The man watched and waited until she hung up. He grabbed her and held his hand over her mouth to keep her from screaming. When she refused to stop resisting, he grabbed her by the throat until she agreed to calm down. He then tied Manell up with rope and put her on her knees in front of him. When he was done, he stood her up and leaned her back over the kitchen counter. To keep Manell from screaming, he stuffed a pair of panties in her mouth and tied a dish cloth very tightly between her teeth to gag her. When Manell was left alone to struggle, her cell phone started to ring again. She tried her best to hop over to it. But being tied up very tightly and in high heels, it was challenging for her to move. Later, the man returned and removed her gag. "What is the combination to the safe?" he asked. When Manell refused to tell him, he grabbed her by the throat and started squeezing. He also covered her mouth and nose. When he released, Manell gasped for air and again refused to tell him the combination. So he again grabbed her throat and covered her nose and mouth. This went on for a short while until he gagged her again and then hogtied her on the countertop. Later, he would return, remove the gag, and demand the combination. This time, Manell told him what he wanted to know. He again stuffed and tied the panties back in her mouth and left to open her safe. When he got what he wanted, he returned and removed the hogtie rope to lean Manell back over the counter.
