This fictional story is written to remind people what you do when you're young could impact you during later years.
Wanda Talbert grew up in the North East, the first born of three girls, with a conservative upbringing. She was accepted at a college in California. Wanda wanted to get away from the constant scrutiny of her parents, so she decided to attend a college on the west coast, ignoring the protest of her parents.
Wanda needed to work to make ends meet, even though she received a scholarship. On a dare she posed for figure studies for the art class at the California College, making more money posing nude, than she did working at a store in the area, so she modeled any time asked, for figure study classes.
Wanda found she could make even more money doing erotic modeling for foreign magazines that were more liberal at the time, so she started modeling for them. Her boyfriend Clarke eventually talked Wanda into performing in X rated movies, with a promise of making more money and the assurance of anonymity from the photographer.
The upside to her choices at the time was she finished college with no loans. Wanda broke up with her live in boyfriend, who she found screwing around with another woman, in the apartment she paid for with the money she made doing X rated movies. Her friend Sue, who lived in a town twenty miles from her home town in the northeast and was attending the same college she was, Sue moved in with her, as soon as Wanda evicted Clarke.
Wanda retired from the porno industry when she received her Doctorate in art history, never looking back. The young woman being homesick after years away, went back to live in her home town on the east coast of the USA, after finishing her college education.
Wanda met Hale Ames at a college function, where she worked as an assistant professor, a year after she finished her Doctorate. Spending time together, the couple found they had a lot in common. Wanda married Hale Ames, soon thereafter, when he was thirty-four and she was twenty-six. He was an up and coming lawyer then.
Her husband is a lawyer and partner in a prestigious law firm presently. They have two children a boy and girl, both are grown and their offspring have moved to areas, where they found jobs, after their college education was completed.
Presently Mrs. Wanda Ames is a professor and head of the Art History department at a well-known conservative college in the North Eastern U.S.A. She is sixty years old, but looks at least fifteen years younger; making use of the gym three times a week that is provided to the college staff and students. She is a very good tennis player also, along with her husband the play a few times a week during the summer season.
Wanda is five foot seven inches tall with large breasts, and trim figure, her salt and pepper auburn hair is cut just off her shoulders; her weight is proportionate to her height. She is two years away from her planned retirement. Her husband, who doesn't take exercise as seriously as his wife; preferring golf and tennis to the gym, Hale is a little overweight and just shy of six feet tall. He will be retired a few months before Wanda, when he is seventy years old.
It was Friday morning. Wanda was checking her work email. She received an email from a person whose email was 'X rated six'. She almost sent the email to spam, but her curiosity got the better of her. The mature professor opened the email to find an attachment with photos of a much younger Wanda, giving oral sex to an unknown male and smiling at the camera.
The email said. "I expect you to send me a response to the email by tomorrow with your personal email address and your personal cell phone number, so we can correspond. If I don't hear from you by that time, I will send these photos to your son and daughter, your husband, his office, the college president, and the college board." Attached are all the email addresses of the persons her unknown persecutor mentioned.
Wanda was in a panic, as she never told her husband about her college years. She buried her past when she came back to the northeast, never thinking about it until now. If the college finds out about her modeling career, she will probably be fired, knowing their conservative attitude. The mature woman doesn't know how her photos and videos were found, as she did them under an alias and was promised total anonymity. The videos purportedly went to foreign countries; they were illegal at the time in the United States, thirty-five years ago.
Having no choice Wanda sent her personal email and cell phone number to 'X rated six'.
It was only five minutes later that she received back. "I'm glad you have made the right choice. We will have some fun and I will be gone in a while. I want you to spend a weekend at a Country Inn and Suites about an hour from your home. You have a week to make the arrangements for this outing."
The poor woman didn't know what to do. She had a bad day at work. Hale came home to a woman he didn't recognize, she was very upset.
"What is the matter Wanda?" Hale asked concerned, as he very rarely sees his wife in this condition, she is usually a very happy, upbeat person.
Presently she looks like a person that had a death in the family.
"Something I have to take care of Hale. It will be fine, I just have to work my way through it." She said trying to make it seem nothing was really wrong.
Not believing her, but not wanting to pursue it and get her more worked up he said. "Do you want me to cook tonight?"
"Yes that would be a good Idea." Wanda said thankful that she wouldn't have to figure out what to make for the evening meal.
"Great, let's go to Ozzies for a Steak." Hale said.
They had a good time at the restaurant. Wanda pushed the email out of her mind, leaving it on the back burner so to speak, to figure out a way to get rid of the person that wants to control her. It was a restless night for Wanda. She was up all night planning how to deal with the situation she found herself in.
As soon as her husband went golfing the next morning she called her friend Sue. "Hi Sue, how are things going?" Wanda asked as soon as her friend answered the phone.
"Things are good how about you?" Sue said.
"Well I have a problem and need your help, but I don't want to talk on the phone. Can we meet at Starbucks in about an hour?" Wanda said.
"Sure meet you there." Sue said and they hung up.
Wanda arrived first and found a secluded booth in the corner away from the crowd, after she purchased beverages for both of them.
Sue came walking in seeing Wanda in the corner she went to her saying. "What's up, you sounded extremely stressed on the phone?"
"Remember how I paid my way through college?" Wanda said almost in tears.
"Yes I do. What's the big deal? That's over thirty years ago, you did what you had to do to get your doctorate degree and you're doing great now." Sue said being friends with Wanda since college.
Wanda pulled the email up on her phone and showed Sue.
Sue read the email and said. "Oh my, I see why you're so upset. I know it's too late now, but I think you should have confided in your husband as to your past a long time ago." She said using twenty, twenty hindsight as most people do with situations like this.
