CHANGE
Only three weeks after the birth of my second child, Sofia woke me up to say that Svetlana wanted to meet me in the office she had set up in the Resort. I was surprised she was there. I did not expect to see Svetlana until she was sure she would not have to see me depressed about the separation. She brings herself to cause great pain to acquaintances but does not like to look at it.
Svetlana came right to the point, "BLC management very recently made some decisions. The BLC has decided to attempt to relocate slaves from the Resort who are over the age of 37 that have been slaves for at least 5 years."
"What do you mean relocate?" I asked.
"Let's face it," Svetlana answered, "Sex slaves are a wasting resource. Although keeping some older slaves for customers with that taste is good, we don't want to open a geriatric wing of the Resort. If someone will pay to move a woman to where he can more easily use her services, sexual and otherwise, agree to treat her within the limits of what she was obligated to do at the Resort, the move is not too stressful for the slave involved and the sponsors agree, there is every reason to relocate her. For example, we are going to relocate Irina only a few hundred kilometers from Berlin to Erfurt where she will live with a very wealthy German count who is paying us 30 million euros. Probably as much as we could make off of her over the next 10 years considering expenses, depreciation of the asset and applying a proper discount rate to revenues to be earned in future years. Also, she will still be available to help Bolry as a diplomat and will perform as a sex slave to the extent possible. The Count knows the score."
Trying not to get my hopes up too much, I asked, "Are you telling me this so that I can negotiate the relocation contracts?"
"Yes," Svetlana said, but, probably seeing my face move almost to tears in a millisecond, she added, "and to inform you that a nice man you know wishes to move you to New York and wishes to do so soon."
"Plandome Village, actually," Mann said, stepping into the room.
Svetlana continued, "We believe the this move will not be distressful to you. You will have another two months in Bolry and Mr. Walker has been promised that you will be one of the guests at a disgusting and humiliating orgy that he is staging in Texas. Of course, after you are established at your new location, you will be expected to work as a sex slave to the extent that it is not inconsistent with other roles you may assume.
Also, in a few months you will be made available for impregnation again, but only by Mr. Mann. Mr. Mann has indicated that you will be expected to help him raise your further children. He has agreed also that you should practice law and assist the Republic of Bolry and the BLC in legal matters and business planning.
"You will see the figure anyway when draft the contracts, but I'll say now that Mann is only paying $10 million to deprive the BLC of the practical ability to use you as a sex slave to nearly the extent that you have been utilized in the past. This is not because you are worth less than Irina to the BLC. You have actually been a slightly more profitable asset. The fact is that Mann insisted on a right of first refusal on any transfer of you from the Resort before it was agreed that the law firm would get the Bolry Pacific Resort expansion business 6 years ago. As I recall, he threatened to take a large amount of the firm's business and lawyers with him and, in effect, break up the firm if he was not assured that no one else would get to keep you if he didn't. You may also be interested to know that Mr. Mann has rejected offers to sell his right of first refusal even recently when he was offered $25 million by Fergusson.
"Svetlana, is so weird," Mann interrupted. "There were a lot of deals but the simple fact is that I have loved you for a long time. But you did not love me. I did not expect you to have bad luck in the Lottery but I did my best to assure that I'd have a chance of getting you back someday even if you did lose.
"Are you willing to marry me now under these bizarre circumstances? Don't do it just to get out of Bolry. I will pay the money to move you out of here even if you want to live alone in your condo and resume your tours of the bars of New York. I would even leave the firm and let you work there without having to look at me if you are mad at me for being part of a conspiracy to make the firm a lot of money by encouraging you to take a dangerous risk."
Svetlana piped in to say, "I am not so weird as not to know it is time for me to get out of here." She walked out.
