Synopsis: A woman is transformed in order to pay for her husband's gambling debts.
Notes:
This is based on a story called "My Big Mistake" by Jim, an older, unfinished tale. I like it and decided to tackle a re-boot and completion. I was spurred by a request on MC Forums for stories in which the wife is transformed in front of the husband, which seemed like an interesting twist.
Adult, erotic fiction. Do not read if illegal or immoral for you. It is fiction in all ways.
A Very Big Mistake
By Paladin
Day 0, Friday Night: A scary meeting.
"Mrs. Jones, my name is Jake Diamond. I regret to tell you that your husband, John, owes me a rather substantial gambling debt- $150,000 to be exact. He informs me that he cannot pay and I am just here to discuss some alternatives."
My wife was sitting absolutely still on the couch, terrified by this plain-looking, soft-spoken man bookended by two of the biggest, meanest looking men I have ever seen in suits. I was sitting beside my wife, absolutely sick over what had happened.
The card game had started off so friendly and I was doing well. Then, late that night, I had a hot streak and was quickly up by $30,000! The next hand looked unbeatable- full house, Queens and Tens! I made a huge bet and laid it down only to discover that a stranger I had barely noticed put down four Kings and an Ace. My heart almost stopped when I thought of the huge bets I had been making and could not cover. Then I discovered who the man was.
"Now, I could shoot out his kneecaps, take your house and cars, and call it good on my part, but that is such a hassle. Instead, I have a proposition for you."
My wife went white and was shivering. I did not blame her. I was barely holding it together myself.
When the quiet man introduced himself to me, I almost fainted. Everyone who gambles around here has heard of Jake Diamond. He asked for his money and I squeaked out that I did not have it. A couple piles of raw muscle sitting in a dark corner stirred and the rest of the men in the room vanished. "You continued to bet and could not cover your wagers?" He had said in a very calm, quiet, scary voice.
We 'talked' for a bit, and soon ended up in my living room, rousting my wife of twenty-five years, and leading to this meeting.
I had heard what he wanted, but could not speak.
"Pr.. prop... proposition?" She said. "What sort of proposition?"
"Simple. A laboratory I now own claims to have a series of new processes that will revolutionize the beauty industry. Each element has been tested, but now they are ready to try the entire process on a volunteer. My proposal is that you will be that volunteer."
My wife was confused. "You want me to test some sort of beauty products? To cover my husbands gambling debts? I... I don't understand?"
"Mrs. Jones, I will not lie to you. There is a risk involved, and it is not like make-up or anything. The process will actually transform you in many ways. You will repay your husband's debts by trialling several processes that will result in you literally being a new person."
My wife was stunned and slumped in her seat. Mr. Diamond continued.
"The exact agreement will be that you will spend the next several weekends in the hands of my technicians. Sometimes they will visit you here, sometimes you will visit their clinic. Sometimes it will only be an hour visit, sometimes it will be overnight. Between visits, you will obey their instructions exactly. You and your house will be under surveillance to ensure compliance. There will also be photographs and videotapes made to document the process that you will agree to.
"That is the gist of it. We can knock out the fine details later. Mrs. Jones, do you accept this deal on behalf of your husband's debt?"
My wife and I conferred for a moment. I tried to talk her out of it, but she realized, as did I, that the other options were horrific. She took a deep breath and said "Yes, I accept."
Mr. Diamond shook her hand and said he would return in 6 hours, at 9am Saturday, to pick her up for the initial visit. It would take about five hours and she should dress comfortably and lightly.
We did not get any more sleep that night.
