Knowing that Anna was a martial artist only made me more cautious. If I ever fell into her hands, I needed a feast some way to defend myself.

"Mrs. Bolton, you need to be mentally prepared. You're not exactly young, and you lack a solid foundation. Mr. Bolton specifically instructed me not to go easy on you. So, if it hurts, I won't hold back."
