The engagement cancellation thoroughly infuriated Hamilton, and Tina lost any semblance of freedom.

Though her confinement was over, Hamilton had taken her passport and ID away. Without those, one was practically immobilized. So, she had no choice but to stay put in Capital City.

One day, driven stir-crazy, she took her sports car and headed south, but before she could even merge onto the highway, Hamilton's people caught up with her and dragged her back. After that, her driver's license was confiscated, too.

To prevent anyone from secretly helping her escape, her best friend had also come under tight surveillance at home.

Pointing to his bruises, Weston said, "Look at what I went through for you."
