贝拉以为自己能应付。当第一条乙烯基胶带缠住她的手腕时，她甚至笑了，挥手示意“只是胶带而已”。但随着胶带一层层地缠上，这份自信逐渐消散。她的双臂被反绑在身后，手肘被紧紧地夹住，并用光滑的黑色乙烯基胶带封住。接下来是她的双腿，被胶带缠成一个严格的蛙式束缚，即使是最细微的动作也变得费劲。即便如此，贝拉仍不打算放弃。胶带封住了她的任何抗议，但这并没有阻止她用任何方式表达自己的沮丧。在内心深处，她早该知道这个500美元的逃脱挑战是有陷阱的。现在，她只能扭动身体，决心不让他们欣赏她失败的滋味。Bella thought she could handle it. She even laughed as the first strip of vinyl tape wrapped around her wrists, waving off the challenge as "just tape". But layer by layer, that confidence faded. Her arms were pulled behind her back, elbows crushed tight and sealed in glossy black vinyl. Her legs came next, taped into a strict frogtie that made even the smallest movement a chore. Still, Bella wasn't ready to give up. The tape gag muffled any protests, but that didn't stop her from voicing her frustration in whatever way she could. Deep down, she should have known there was a catch to that $500 escape challenge. Now, all she can do is thrash and twist, determined not to let them enjoy watching her fail.
