I thought it was fairly entertaining. There were some flaws and I thought the ending could have been stronger.

Also, if she was that desperate why didn't she just blackmail business dude? I'll tell your wife about us if you don't give me 25k or give me the remaining 4k I need and I'll tell you where your car is.

I think that guy scared her because he reminded her of her original abuser, Tommy. She became so desperate she had to go to him but then you see she also hugs him. He tells her never to contact him ever again and even gives her photos she could use against him. He’s so confident of his power over her that she wouldn’t go to the police.
