===================
Disclaimer: All though inspired by a real story, this is fiction. It is
a story-taking place in a horrible society where money and money only
makes the world going round. Disgusting events
according to Danish standard are described and I would wish that we
could save the world back from Denmark, so people did not need to go
trough such a life, but we can only watch the unjust to happen. The
solution has to come from the government on the Philippines. I have
written this story in response to a TV-program, where those people who
exploit those poor girls portrayed like angels.

Synopsis: A young innocent woman gets a rollercoaster ride kind of life
out of her control.
Title: A sad, depressed and bittersweet story.
1) A peaceful childhood
It was the year 1977, when a little girl was born on a remote island
about 150 kilometres from Manila. Her parents lived of the sea and
electrical power, school etc. was not at hand. Linda, as
the girl was name lived the first 14 years of her life on the island
with her sisters. She did not learn to read. Every Saturday the village
went to a neighbour, which had a radio running on batteries, where they
were informed about what went about in the world outside. The island
was her world; she did not know anything of the world outside.
Her older sisters all left their homes when they were 14. It was custom
because there was no kind of future living on the island. Fishing could
not support more than those people, which already lived on the Island.
Some weeks, then her father did not catch anything, they had to live of
the few things, and they could grow on the Island.
When she was 14, her parents called her and told her that one of her
uncles had a job for her. It was not quite a real uncle, but a former
angler, which had established himself with a bar at the
nearby city on the mainland. Linda was crying but she knew in her heart
that her parents would not have let her go, if they could have provided
for her themselves.
Her "uncle" Bill came for her. He seems to be a relaxed elderly man of
about 50 years. On the verge of tears, she parted with her parents
hoping that some day she could return to the Island.
Little did she know that her all too short childhood would become the
happiest years of her life.
2) Uncle Bill's bar and Linda's new uniform.
When she arrived at her new living place, she was shown where to sleep.
A little chamber, she had to share with another girl on her own age.
After a while, Bill called her to his office.
When she arrived, two other men also were in the office. "Undress!"
Bill's voice was to firm that she did not dare to argue with him. She
blushed when she slowly took off all her clothes.
When she was naked, one of the men took out a tape measure and noted
the size of her waistline. Then he took some kind of steel band and put
it around her waist. A part of steel thing went trough her legs and the
man connected it on her back. It was a little tight but not unbearable.
Then he took padlock and she heard a click when it closed.
"This is your chastity belt. Now my investment is preserved." Uncle
Bill seemed to be in a cheerful mind. "Try on your uniform!"
Linda took the dress shown to her and tried to dress. It looked
unfamiliar to her but it was a French maid uniform. However, the
underwear should be put on first and she did not know the concept of a
corset. It could be laced on the back and one of the men offered his
help to her.
"Place your hands on the table." Linda did as he told her, but when he
pulled the laces, she had to let go.
"I can not breathe! Stop!"
"You have to do as we tell." Bill and the other man took her hands and
cuffed them to a pair of leather cuffs. The cuffs were connected to a
rope hanging from the ceiling and they hoisted her
body of the ground. Then the connected two other cuffs to her legs.
Those two cuffs were connected to the ground. They continued to pull
the rope until her body was stretched entirely
out.
The first man continued his work of lacing her corset. Linda protested,
shouted and groaned, but he did not stop and at some point, she was
only able to grunt when he pulled the laces.
Bill commanded the man to stop. "We have to wait for the fabric to
adjust before we continue. Go and get some cups of coffee."
Linda hanged sobbing in her arms. They were so sore and she felt like
being cut in half.
When the men had finished their coffee, they continued to lace her
corset. Linda was on the verge of losing consciousness and grunted
every time they pulled. Finally, they were satisfied and lowered her to
the ground. Then she painfully took the rest of the uniform on.
"Here. Wipe those tears away. Get one of the girls. We have to apply
some makeup and train her to walk." Another older girl came in and Bill
commanded her to take Linda out in the bar and train her to walk.
3) Training and first day on work.
Samantha as the other girl was named, gave her some shoes to wear.
Linda tried to take them on, but she could only stand up strait because
of the rigid corset. Samantha helped her and had to support her when
she took her first step. Linda had never worn
high-heels and did almost fall, whenever she tried to take a step.
Samantha helped her and after a half hour she could walk almost normal.
Next Samantha gave her a tray with plastic service on. Of course, Linda
dropped the service the first times she tried to handle it. However,
she practiced and real glasses and plates replaced the plastic service.
Finally, Samantha told her to sit on a chair. It hurt in her stomach
when she sat down and she at once straitened her back. Samantha applied
lipstick and took care of her hair. When Linda
saw her self in the mirror, she almost could not believe what she saw.
In the evening, the bar opened. Linda's job was to take order from the
customers and wash the dishes. Samantha told her that there were two
kinds of employees beside Bill. The entertainment
girls and the waitresses. She would graduate to entertainment girl when
Bill could get the right price for her.
Linda worked hard. Once when she was serving a customer his drink, his
hand slipped up under her skirt, but he pulled his hands back, when he
felt the steel. "Bill always thinks of everything." he remarked. Linda
blushed of shame.
Linda was tired. She had been travelling all day and fell almost at
sleep around 10. Bill noticed that ordered her to the kitchen. He
followed her and took a heavy rubber apron and told her to
wear it and some heavy rubber gloves too. Then she was ordered to take
care of the dishes for the rest of the evening.
Around three in the morning she finally and exhausted was followed to
bed by Bill. When they came to her room, he helped her to undress from
her uniform, but the corset had to remain on.
In order to avoid her escaping from the place he gave her a leather
collar on which were connected to the wall by a chain.
Her hands were put inside some leather gloves to she could not fiddle
with her laces. She also got a leather belt on where the gloves were
hooked on some D-rings in the side. Linda fell asleep
almost at once.
4) A violent customer.
The days went by and the daily routine was almost the same.
About noon, she woke. When one of the older girls came to the rooms to
check on them once an hour, she was helped to the toilet, where she
made her business. Only once a week she got the chastity belt off so
she could get a bath. Bill and some of the men watched her very
carefully when it was time. An hour later, she was in her uniform,
preparing the bar for the customers.
When the bar opened, she was in the bar until midnight, where she moved
to the kitchen to clean up and help where help was needed.
About three, she went to bed. After some months, she no longer was
cuffed and collared. She had adjusted to her new life. It was hard but
it was a living.
One night however, she experienced a nightmare. Just before she was
going to bed, all the garbage stood by the door and waited to be taken
out. Normally Bill helped her, but he was busy because there were some
sailors in town, so Linda decided to take the garbage out by her self.
When she was almost finished, a pair of hands grabbed her from the
back. It was a drunken sailor. He threw her over a bench and unbuttoned
his trousers. Then he pulled her skirt up and
discovered the chastity belt. "What the fuck? You little tart! I am
going to strangle you instead."
Then she heard a knock. The sailor fell to the ground. It was Bill with
a baton. He gave the sailor a couple of kicks in his stomach and
ordered Linda inside. A half hour later, he returned
remarking something about a man talking with the fishes. Linda was told
to go the bed at once.
The next day Bill called her to his office. When she sat in the chair,
Bill explained that she never must leave the bar without guard because
she would be an easy target. "I have told you that
before and therefore you will be punished. Undress!"
All her clothes even the belt came off. Then he ordered her to take the
leather cuffs on and to bend over a table in the corner. Her cuffs were
secured to the table so her behind were up in the
air. "I am so sorry to do this to you, but our rules are for your own
safety. I am only going to spank you with this soft latex whip, so you
do not get wounds. It would decrease the value of my
investment."
Then he whipped her behind. Linda cried out every time he hit her. Her
parents never disciplined her. She had never experienced such a pain.
Finally, he was done and hugged her to comfort her. "Never let me down
again!"
She promised.
5) Return of Investment (ROI)
As the months went by, Linda's body developed and she noticed that more
than often Bill would discuss her with some of the customers. One
morning Bill called for her, when she was finished
on the toilet and about to dress. As she went into his office, she
noticed the two men from her first day at Bill's place.
One of the men released her laces. Then her chastity belt went off.
Linda felt it odd. She had worn the corset for almost two years. Her
back needed support and she was relieved when he gave her a red PVC
corset. Once more, she was hoisted in the cuffs and prepared to be
laced. "Your old corset was 18 inches. The new corset is 16 inches. Do
you want something to bit on when he adjust it."
Linda nodded and they putted a bit gag in her mouth. Then the man began
to work on her. Several time she blackened and Bill used smelling salt
to get her back again. When they lowered her and showed her the result
in a large mirror. Her body was almost bizarre. Her waist was formed
like an hourglass and her small breast had been pushed up and together
making them look bigger.
They gave her a golden gown and a read PVC collar on. Then they went to
the bar. On the stage, there was a golden cage. Next to the cage, the
pole was where the entertainment girls used to dance around. Samantha
came and taught her how to dance and show the most of her. Linda
blushed when she told her to put her behind in the air because she did
not have trousers on.
Linda was a quick learner and when the bar opened, she got to dance. At
midnight, John led her to the cage and when he had shut the door, he
took the microphone. "May I have your attention? In the golden cage, a
little bird is waiting to sing in private for the highest bidder. May I
have an offer?"
A lot of men raised their arms and numbers flew in the air. It took 20
minutes before a short European man won. He got the key to the cage
from Bill and they went upstairs. He went to one of the rooms and Linda
had to follow because Bill had seen to that there was a chain to her
collar, the man could hold on to.
Inside the room, he undressed and Linda was a little shocked by his
pale body. He noticed her reaction and tried to relax her.
"Relax! My name is Ib Colding and I am only a Danish tourist out for
some fun. I need you to comfort me. Back home people disagreeing with
my political view had thrown rocks at my house, the bank would not loan
my money and every time I visit the local supermarket, the employees
complained about the sight of my body, so I decided to travel around
the world. Normally I prefer Japanese girls, but you could do."
He smelled so bad. Linda remembered and story a visitor to the island
told the children. The name of the story was "The snow-queen" by a
famous Danish author. Perhaps it was too cold in
Denmark to take a bath. Linda took her dress off when he told her. She
climbed in to the bed and faced the wall resting on her elbows and
knees and he commanded her. The tourist positioned him self behind her.
Suddenly she felt a pain. "Auuuuwww".
He was going to impale her. That was how she felt it. No foreplay, just
pressure. She was crying and he continued to pump her. Slowly his penis
worked its way up inside her dry love canal. "Say my name while we make
love." But Linda did not get the time to say his name more than once.
Ib came with a grunt while he trusted his penis violent all the way in.
He pulled out
at once and gave her an extra 100$. Then he left.
Linda cried when Samantha entered the room. She hugged Linda and tried
to comfort her by assuring her that not all men were like that. But
Linda's world had turned out to be a lie and Samantha was just adding
to that fact.
Linda was how ever a quick learner and she learned how to mentally
disconnect from her body while sweating and smelling elderly men did
have a go at her.
6) The Dutch manager
One night when she was dancing at the pole, a handsome young man in his
late twenties came in the bar. Later when her dance was over, she
approached him trying to get him as a costumer. It would be a change
from the elderly men.
They got to talk and he told her, that he was a co-owner of a growing
internet company. Linda did not know what the internet was. She could
not even read. However, Svend, as the manager was called, seemed to be
a nice person. During the evening, he bought her drinks and at some
point, when Bill came by to make thing happen, he also got a drink,
which seems to calm him down. When the bar closed, Linda had survived a
day without ending up in bed with someone and that was quite
remarkable.
The next day when the bar was getting ready to open, the Dutch manager
came by and demanded to tall to Bill. When he left Bill's office, he
told her that she now was his property and he had bought her for 200$.
She packed her few belongings and went with the manager.
They drove in his car some hours and then they ended up at a small
house, where he told her, she was going to live as his mistress and
perhaps wife one day.
Linda thought she was in heaven. Comparing the standards she had been
used to, this was unbelievable. In the sleeping room, there was a large
soft bed. "You need some clothes. I would arrange for a colleague from
the internet business to come by with some clothes. Then he unlaced her
and ordered her to take a bath.
Later in the afternoon, she had been given a complete wardrobe. He
showed her round in the house. When he discovered that she could not
cook and read, he arranged a servant to come.
He ordered some takeaway and she had a fine dinner. When it was time to
go to bed, he told her to wait. "I have something from my company, you
should try first. It is a new dress from Germany, which is a country in
Europe."
She was surprised when she saw the dress. It was made of leather and
had two leather cuffs at each side connected to a corset with straps
instead of laces. When he had dressed her and she was immobilized, he
fastened a leather strap, which went between her legs. He put a posture
collar around her neck, which made it impossible to lower her head. She
had to look up and it was difficult for her to breathe.
He made her lie down on her back and the he took a vibrator and began
to massage her softly on her clit. It was a funny feeling. Normally she
had always connected sex to a swift pain but this was different. She
felt pleasure and it made her ashamed. However, she was at his mercy
and finally she caved in to her body and had her first orgasm.
"When I have trained you properly, you would earn the right to my
member, not sooner."
Linda felt asleep in her restraint wondering what kind of business
Svend owned.
7) The mother in law
Linda lived at Svend's place for the next months. Sometime he was away
on business trips for weeks. Linda soon discovered that the golden
cage, she was placed in at Bill's place had been replaced by a larger
cage. At 17 of age, she could not read books and understand the funny
languages at on the satellite canals in the television.
When he returned home, he always seems to have a new kind of kinky toy
to test on her. A question, which had bothered her for some time, she
finally got her self to ask one morning.
"What kind of business do you own?"
"It is an adult website with interactive entertainment. It is called
>>cool diamantes<<. I am quiet regarded a master of java programming inside the internet business."
Later that afternoon he received a long distance phone call. He was
quiet upset when he was finish. "My mother is coming here to visit us
in a week. We have to make you look decent. She is always talking about
me marrying a girl and now I have brought you for the purpose, so let
us fool her by doing it on the same day she arrive. Then I could get
some peace."
Some days later, Svend and Linda waited at the airport. "There she is."
Linda saw a 200-pound woman approaching. "Hey Svend. Who is this nice
thing, you have there?" she said pointing at Linda.
"It is my wife to come. We are going to get married this afternoon."
The jaw of the woman hit the floor.
"Linda" Linda presented her self.
"Ann" the woman replied almost speechless.
Later that evening the all three went by a priest where they exchanged
vows. Svend and Linda were now husband and wife.
Linda seemed that Ann talked down to her and did not take her serious.
Ann and Svend had an argument when Linda had told her how they met.
Linda could feel the cold from Ann and she made remarks when she
discovered that Linda did not cook. Both were a kind of relieved when
Ann went back to Netherland after a week.
That night they had full intercourse together for the first time. Linda
almost got scared because Svend seemed to lose control like let an
animal lose from inside.
8. Children and Linda's sister.
Linda had not felt good for some time, when one day the servant called
her to the phone. It was her sister Katie. She sounded a little
offended. "Why have you not called us, when you started to
live with Svend? We are your family after all. Just because you had
married a rich man, there is no reason to deny your roots."
Linda tried to explain that Bill at the bar had not given her any
address of her family. Because she could not read her search for her
sister's phone number had not been a success. Her sister
seemed to calm down and they agreed to meet at Linda's home the next
day.
When Katie and her husband Tom visited Linda, they looked around
obvious very impressed with the life Linda was living. Then Katie said.
"I can see that you are pregnant." Linda became surprised. She did not
know anything about these things; no one had talked with her about the
subject.
She asked the housekeeper to call Svend at his job and when she told
him the news, he became so happy. "I have always wanted kids." When he
returned a week later, he brought her flowers.
Linda's pregnancy did go without complications and she gave birth to a
lovely little girl. However, all the events in her life had gone too
fast and she got confused. Even thought, she once a long
time ago in the island had cared for smaller children, a baby in her
stressed situation proved too much. It was lucky that her sister
offered her assistance as a nurse. Svend was delighted.
His business was expanding and he also was nervous about Linda's
situation and no man can be at two places in the same time.
Katie almost moved in at their place. Linda slept almost the whole day
in her worn out condition. Slowly Linda recovered but Katie stayed.
Svend wanted a second child and he soon got her
pregnant once more. This time her pregnancy was difficult. The doctor
ordered her to remain at bed the last 2 month until the baby was
delivered. The birth was difficult and she lost a lot of
blood. Her sister had to enter her bedroom and milk her because she had
not the strength to feed the child herself.
Katie had taken over the household. She talked to Svend alone and Svend
agreed to buy her a car and hire some of her children to do other jobs
at Linda and Svend's home. Cleaning, cocking and even shopping had at
some point been taken over by Linda's family. After a while the old
maid left and she also was replaced by another member of Linda's
family.
Svend did not care. He even lost interest in her regarding sex because
he now had those two children he always had wanted. Linda was very
lonely in her golden cage.
9. The new security guard.
The police in Manila was underpaid and lacked resources, so when a lot
of building was robbed, Svend asked Katie to arrange for a security
firm to patrol their street. Katie went about to the
neighbours soon they had gathered enough families to hire a security
firm to guard their neighbourhood.
Linda first met Officer Austin when the alarm in the house
malfunctioned. He seemed to be a nice person and she decided to go to
lunch in the city. Katie warned her of him. "You do not
know much about life. He only wants one thing from you."
Linda did not take her serious and Svend had just called in that he
would be away for a month due some disagreement with his partners. She
dated Austin and after lunch, they went to the
cinema.
It was not the last time. Austin bought her flowers and cared for her.
One evening, when they were in town they ended up in his apartment,
where he offered her coffee, before she left.
When they sat in his sofa, he moved closer to her and gave her a soft
kiss. She did not resist. Softly he took her and carried her into his
bed. She had missed the soft touch of a lover. He
remembered Svend, when she first met him and he taught her sex in a new
way. Austin kissed her and squeezed her breast softly.
The he teased her clit softly with a gentle touch. Linda felt so good.
His every touch was almost electrical. When she was on the edge of an
orgasm, he entered her. Wet from the stirring up, it
was easy for him to trust his penis way all in and she came.
Waive after waive of pleasure went trough her body and she moaned and
shivered, while Austin worked on her. Austin also came and they fell
asleep almost at once.
The next morning Linda was tortured with guilt. She had betrayed Svend.
When she entered her home that morning, she could see the contempt in
the faces of her family. They knew! Only Katie showed other signs.
Linda thought it look like satisfaction.
10. Svend's business problem
Svend sat at his office in Hong Kong. He was angry. Their turnover had
increased, but the revenue had dropped.
Since the start of the company, Svend had programmed the solution in
Java. Now with an increased staff with little knowledge of Java, he was
under pressure to add some .NET solutions. They were costly regarding
the price of a Java-solution.
Arnold his partner did argue in favour of a .Net solution. It was the
first real crisis in the company's history. Since the start, Svend had
been the keystone in programming the solutions. He felt slighted as if
the other owners wanted to free themselves from him.
It was to damn frustrating and he felt that he spent too much time at
his work instead of being together with his family. He needed to get
his frustration out of his system and went to the
company dungeon where he whipped one of the poor girls they used as
models in their website. His company had always been doing a lot for
the employees and the dungeon was a marvellous idea from the human
resource department.
11. The entire family on the take.
Katie woke Linda one morning with concern in her voice. "There had been
a storm at our parent's island. The roof of their house fell down.
Luckily, they were not hurt. But now they have no place to live."
"We can buy supplies with some of the money I get from Svend. Perhaps I
can get some in advance. I would phone Svend at once."
When Svend heard the reason for her call, he replied that they did not
need to use Linda's allowance. They could built a new house with a loan
from him and enlarged the house a little so
there could be some space for Linda to live in when she some day would
visit her parents. It would be healthy for his children to know their
grandparents.
The new house was constructed within a month and Linda, together with
Katie and her children all went to visit her parents. It was her first
visit back home since she left for Bill's Bar. It was
still a peaceful place, but Linda had changed. She could not find peace
and neither here at her birthplace she was without problems. Her father
was getting old and the fishing had not been
good for some time. As result, Linda ended up sending a little amount
every month to her parents after all out of her allowance.
Back in Manila, Katie continued running the household. One day when
Linda was shopping with Austin, they met Tom - Katie's husband. Tom had
not seen Linda, when he greeted Austin. They
knew each other, which Linda had no knowledge of. When he saw Linda, he
greeted her shortly and then disappeared from sight.
Linda personal life with Svend had ended. He spent more and more time
working and making business travels. Linda spent her time entertained
by Austin. Katie took care of the children and ran the household.
12. Svend leaves the family.
One day Svend came home and asked Katie if she could send Linda into
his home-office. When Linda entered, Svend told her that he had bought
an apartment where he was going to live alone. He would provide for her
and their children, but he no longer loved Linda and wanted adventure.
There was however no reason to start a divorce. She could stay as his
wife on paper.
Linda cried. He had loved Svend regardless of his brutal act during
lovemaking. He had rescued her from Bill's bar and a life in the
gutter. She started to drink and did not want to see Austin, when he
called. One afternoon however he turned up at her home, and they had
sex after she told Katie to take the children on at shopping trip. When
he told her, that he also was tired of
her, she gave him money for a new watch.
Katie continued to drink all afternoon often sleeping the whole morning
away. Several time she had blackout lasting days.
Svend arranged for pool-parties at his new flat. Many young girls
participated. He used the parties as recruiting sessions for the
website. Arnold joined him regardless of their controversies and they
enjoyed themselves.
Occasionally he went to his old house and took his children out for a
drive. However, he was careful avoiding Linda. Svend loved his new
life. Linda did cost him money, but she had after all
given birth to his children and without talking to her, he did not have
to feel sorry for her. All his contacts and arrangement regarding
finances and the children went trough Katie.
One day, Linda decided that her drinking had to stop. She called Katie
and told her that she and the children would leave for her parent's
home and she would phone Svend in order to stop further
money transactions.
Katie became furious. "Do you know what Svend's money is doing for the
rest of the family? We are all depended of his money. Think about your
own parents, my children and your cousin. What are they going to live
of?"
"They would have to get a job." Linda was firm.
Katie became so angry, that she left for the rest of the day.
13. Austin and Katie
A week later, Austin came by late in the evening. He was concerned. "I
have heard, what you are about to move to your parents. What about my
job? I guard this neighbourhood and you
family are the one, which pays me most. If you move, the rest of the
families can not afford the price my firm wants."
"I know, but I need to get away from here. I am worn down by this
house, my sister etc. I need a fresh start."
Katie came in the room with something to drink. "I would not disturb
you. I am going to put the children to bed. Enjoy."
Linda and Austin sat down and took a drink. I had been a long day with
practical things to do. She had talked with Svend, and he was concerned
about the education of the children. There was no school on the Island
and he was afraid that they would not learn the skills necessary to
live in a modern world. Linda took it as an insult because she could
not read and became angry. The conversion stopped when they started to
shout at each other.
Linda felt so tired and she told Austin that it was time for him to
leave because she needed to go to sleep. Just as she had said her
sentence, she dropped her cup and fell back in her chair.
Katie came into the living room. "Is she asleep?"
"Yes, she went out cold."
Then Katie and Austin carried her out to his car, placing her in the
back seat with a bottle of whiskey in her hand.
"Go over to Tom and take him with you. Do not mention that I am
involved."
Austin left with the headlights of the car shut off.
14. Murder
Svend had partied all day and he was going tired to bed. Arnold - also
present -said that he was going to clean up and sleep in the guest room
downstairs. Svend was still concerned with Linda
decision of moving out to the Island.
Around midnight Svend slept. Downstairs Arnold had not gone to bed. He
was looking out of the window. Svend had been a pain in the ass for the
company for a long time. His stubbornness
regarding the use of Java in a world where other technologies would out
perform Java in a matter of time had made Arnold decide that it was
time for Svend to leave the company. In order to
prevent Svend taking the customers with him, he must die.
When he saw Austin's car he went to the door.
Half an hour earlier, Tom had opened the door. To his surprise Austin
and one of his colleagues stood outside. "Svend had mistreated Linda
and we are now going to visit him. If we cannot
convince him to continue providing for Linda, your wife too would be
out of job. Because you know Svend, we would like for you to come with
us."
Tom agreed reluctant. He knew Austin and had tried to avoid him in the
past. Austin meant trouble. When he entered, he saw Linda with the
whiskey bottle. "It was her idea, but I think that we should wait to
wake her, when I have talked to Svend first. She needs it because of
his treatment of her." Then they all drew to Svend's flat.
Arnold opened for Austin and his pal. With lowered voice, Arnold told
Austin that Svend slept on the first floor. Austin went up the stairs
with Arnold behind him. Austin took a ski mask on.
Svend woke by the noise. A man with a gun wearing a ski mask stood by
his bed. "What???" The man shot him once in his stomach. With
disbelief, Svend sat up in the bed. A large red spot
broadened on his T-shirt. He wanted to get up and fight the man, but he
could not feel his legs. The man aimed again. He saw Arnold at the
door. Now he understood. "NO!!!".
Down in the alley Tom stood guard. He was nervous. Suddenly he heard a
gunshot followed by another. Then he ran.
Austin and his friend still wearing a ski mask ran down the stairs. On
the way out Austin hit Arnold in the face just so Arnold would be in
the clear. Then they ran to the car and left the scene.
Arnold waited a few minutes so the car could get away without anyone
noticing the registration numbers and ran to the street shouting
"Murder!".
When some people approached him, he said: "My friend is shot. That
bitch murdered her."
Arnold was careful not to show how happy he was. Now he could run the
company as he like. Regardless, who Svend's heir would become, they did
not know much about the business and what it dealt in.
It was almost morning, when a taxi parked just outside Linda's house.
Two unknown men in town, which paid him good so he could drive their
drunken girl friend home, had stopped the cab driver. He woke her when
they arrived and a confused Linda stepped out. She greeted one of her
neighbours, who was out collecting the newspaper and went into bed. She
could not remember being outside her home and thought, that it was a
dream.
15. Chaos at the funeral
At noon the next day, the doorbell rang. Katie went to the door. She
called Linda and said that the police would like to speak with her.
Receiving them in the living room, she told them to sit
down. Then they told her, that Svend had died in a shooting. Linda
broke completely down. They had to call a doctor so she could be given
something to relax on.
Katie got Ann's - the mother in law - phone number from Linda and
called her in Netherland.
When Ann received the fatal phone call, she was in shock. After a
while, she got angry. Her little innocent son had died. He was her only
child. Her first husband died in a traffic accident,
when the boy was four. She raised him by her self. He was always so
polite and gentle. Every day he offered to wash the dices and rub her
feet after work.
Years later, she met a new man. Svend liked him from the very beginning
and he grew up in harmony. When he got his own flat, she continued to
visit him and advise him how to maintain a
proper home. Oddly enough, he did not get a girl friend. Perhaps he was
too busy with his work. He became a computer programmer specialising in
something as odd as the internet. First, she did not understand the
concept, but when he to her disappointment moved to the other side of
the world; she kept in touch with him by email.
She had been surprised when his mails suddenly mentioned a girl with
the name of Linda. Almost 10 years younger than Svend, she thought that
he was just having a girlfriend to screw.
When she first saw Linda, her first impression seemed to be right, but
Svend had surprised her by marrying the girl before she could have a
serious talk with him. And she did not even cook! Her son would starve
at some point. That was sure.
To her surprise, Linda had given her two grandchildren. However, Ann
got upset, when Svend had emailed her that her sister was hired to look
after them. What kind of woman could not look after her own children?
Ann remembered that she easily could make it, when she was alone with
Svend. Linda did not have her respect.
What about the grandchildren? Would they vanish, if Svend could not
support them longer? She was shocked, when she learned that Linda
either could read or calculate.
Ann took the first plane to Manila with her husband. Katie greeted them
at the airport. She became on good terms with Ann at once. They drove
to the hospital where Tom - her husband - had driven Linda. Still
drugged by the medicine the doctor had given her, Linda remained
crushed then Ann saw her son. Linda could make her self see Svend.
Later they drove to the undertaker, where Katie and Ann decided on all
the small things, which had with the funeral to do. They finally
dropped Ann and her husband of at their hotel.
By accident, they ran in to Arnold at the hotel. He had seen them on
pictures at Svend's office and offered to dine with them. Asked about
whether Svend was happy at the end, Arnold told of
Svend's marriage going wrong due to Linda affair with some security
guard.
This upsetted Ann further and the day before the funeral she went to
the police station where she asked for the police report. When she was
told that they had not had the time to write it, she paid 500$ to get
it done.
The funeral went without any special remarks and Ann left for
Netherland. Linda decided to send her son to her parents, while her
daughter remained in Manila at her sister's place because she
attended school. She was completely broken and spent her entire day
alone crying and morning.
16. A mother in law on a rampage.
Back in Netherland Ann read the police report. Something was wrong. No
money was stolen. Why did they kill her son? No signs of a fight were
found, so they did not kill him because he
resisted. He was murdered in his bed.
Her son to her knowledge had a respectable job in the society. A solid
citizen! Who could benefit from killing him? Then she understood. Linda
wanted his money. If Linda divorced Svend, she would not get any money
due to the law out there, but if Svend died, she would be his heir.
She had to prevent it. With Linda little knowledge of finance, she
would had spent the money in a short time and her grandchildren would
be lost.
She called Linda and told her that she felt so sorry for her and would
like to come out there and support her during the difficult times.
Linda accepted.
Ann took Katie's place in Linda's house. She got to know her grandchild
and took her to school every day for 2 weeks. She also tried to find
out where the other grandchild was, but she got
only vague answers. Suddenly she did not return one afternoon. Linda
became worried and called her sister. Her sister contacted the police
which found out that Ann had left the country with her grandchild.
Linda called Ann, which told her that her child would live in
Netherland together with Ann, who would provide for her. Linda cried.
She left the home and went to Austin's place. He was not
at home, and it was clear that he had moved without leaving an address.
Then she stayed at her sister's place for some days. Linda's house was
sold. She had to because she no longer got money from Svend's firm. She
called Arnold. He told her, that she was not legally married to Svend.
In fact, she never had, because she only was 17, when he took her to a
priest. The money would follow the children. Now Linda was totally in
despair. She went back to Bill's bar working with cleaning and selling
drinks at the bar. 25 of age, she was not too old to entertain the
customers.
Back in the Netherland, Ann thought of how to bring Linda to justice.
If she returned to Manila, she was at risk of being arrested for
kidnapping. But if Linda went to jail, the court would appoint her in
charge of the children and then the problem would be solved.
She called Katie in a try to find out it she knew something. First
Katie was afraid to talk to Ann, but then she realized that she could
benefit economically from her friendship of Ann regardless if it would
cost her sister her life. She was disappointed when she found out that
Linda would not get any money. She told Ann where to find the last
grandchild and she even offered to send the child if her family could
sell the child for the normal price of a person in Manila - 200$.
Ann agreed and 14 days later, she welcomed her last grandchild in the
airport. Only one thing remained. Getting Linda off the street so she
could not convince the police to make an
international arrest order for kidnapping towards Ann.
17. Paying for evidence.
Katie was satisfied with the 200$, her husband Tom worried her. He had
remorse about the night where Svend died. What if he told the wrong
people? He did of course not know that she knew about Austin. Katie had
been depended of the moneyflow from Svend to Linda. Her family all had
received money in some way from Svend direct or indirect.
She called Arnold. First, he would not talk to her but when they
started to talk, he understood her trouble. However, the company could
not hire her entire family as employee. It would be to
obvious, if the police started to dig.
But if Ann got custody of the children, she would manage Svend's part
of the profit of the company how she liked. Katie talked with her
husband, who broke and confessed of his knowledge of the event from the
night. Then she called Ann and told her that she to her shock had
discovered that Linda was in the same street where Svend's flat laid
when he was murdered. If Ann would let the children visit her family
from time to time and provide a little money also, she would help Ann
to bring Linda to justice.
When Ann agreed, Katie called the police and told them that she had a
witness, whom for amnesty could explain the events of the night. The
police agreed and Tom told them his story.
Austin and his friend were arrested and both received 40 years in jail.
Arnold had secretly met with Austin and told him that he would pay for
extra services during Austin's jailtime, if he
remained quiet about Arnold's part in the crime. Austin kept his
promise. He could not gain anything with Arnold in jail.
The police wanted to close the case of Svend's murder, but Ann was not
satisfied. She paid more than 50.000$ for witnesses and extra petrol,
and computers to the police. All the nice money for the underpaid staff
at the police made them do an extra effort.
Finally, with almost all members of Linda's family on the witness-list
for the prosecution, the police made an arrest warrant on Linda.
18. Arrest and conviction
One morning in Bill's bar the police entered and arrested Linda. She
was confused and did not understand the charge. She had been down in
the gutter for months, because her mother in law had the children.
The police accused her of planning the murder of her husband with the
purpose of getting his money. Linda was in shock to learn that Austin
had committed the murder. However, she was afraid and lied about her
being at her own house on this night.
Her lawyer had just left law school. He was eager to show to the world
how tuff a lawyer he had become. Therefore, he told her to say nothing
and deny anything. What he did not tell her was that his only two
previous cases were lost.
In the courtroom, her family surprised her by testifying against her.
Tom's testimony was very damaging placing her next to the murder scene.
Her former neighbour could testify that she arrived home by taxi, when
she claimed to be at home. The police had tried to locate the cab
driver and he had been found dead killed by someone, who wanted his
money. A very normal thing occurring almost every day in Manila, so it
was not suspicious.
Arnold told the court how Svend had complained of his marriage. Even
Bill came and told what kind of job Linda had before she met Svend. No
witness stepped forward in defence of her.
In his office, the Judge sat and thought about what kind of punishment
she should receive. Normally planning and killing a husband would mean
death penalty. But something about this case stank. Even inside his
court building the rumour about the mother in law and her financial aid
to the police and the family of the accused had reach him.
So much money in Manila meant that someone had bought a statement. He
could however not pinpoint where foul play in this case was. He had to
convict her to the death. Suddenly it struck
him. She was not his wife. She was not a grown up woman, when she
married him according the law in this country. There was the solution,
now he could avoid the death sentence. She had no real motive because
she was not his heir. Perhaps time would bring the truth to the
surface. Until it manifested it self, she would be safe in prison.
Linda had her head on the desk while she waited for the judgement. All
the damaging statement had made her lost her hope of an acquittal. She
noticed that her mother in law also was in
the courtroom. With Linda imprisoned it was safe for Ann to be in the
country. The judge came in and read the verdict.
"Linda Schmidt. You have been found guilty of planning the murder of
Svend Schimdt. For this crime, you are sentenced to 40 years in prison
without parole. The court is adjourned."
The lawyer said "Goodbye" and left in a hurry.
19. A final humiliation
An officer took her to a holding cell, where she had to wait for the
car to her new home for the next 40 year.
While she was waiting, Ann came to her cell with a couple of strangers.
It turned out to be a Dutch film crew. She had been too worn out to
notice them inside the courtroom. While they were filming, Ann talked
to her.
"You took my son so now I have your children"
Linda was speechless. Her mind could not understand the full
consequences of the verdict so her only answer was "Take good care of
them."
"I would send you some of their drawings every reminding you what you
would miss in the years to come, so you can learn how you have wasted
your life. You had always had every chance in life but you had choices
had made you spill it. You would be an old lady before they let you out
and I would never have to see you anymore."
She gave her an envelope with several drawings and left the crying
woman.
Outside with the cameras turned off, she met with Katie and assured her
that she would continue to provide for Linda's parents so the children
could visit them, when they were older.
20. Ending fine - everything fine?
What became of all the people after the conviction was pronounced? Let
us have a look:
Linda's children are now living in Netherland at Ann's house, where
they get an education, which would have not been possible in Manila. It
remains unclear what kind of impression of their
mother Ann would give them.
Ann continues to send money to Katie and Linda's parents. She also
remains in touch with Arnold, but she had still not any knowledge about
what kind of business, she and Arnold controls. To this day, she
regards the reputation of her sons business to a respectable one.
Katie's husband is now working again in a new job, because his
conscience had been cleared by his testimony in court.
Linda lawyer would perhaps win one of his cases one fine day. After 20
lost cases, he is still hoping.
The Dutch film crew made a fine documentary, which were exported to
several countries.
Ib Colding returned to Denmark after his world tour to find the windows
in his house smashed once more.
Austin remains in prison where he enjoys life due to the extra money
from Arnold.
Bill continues to run his bar. He ended up marrying Samantha.
Linda had to settle when she entered the prison and adjust to the fact
that she was going to live there for the next 40 years. Soon she joined
classes in order to learn how to read and write.
Perhaps one day she could write to her children and explain them how
she saw the story. She would be 68 years old, if she lives to the day
where her prison time is over. Ironically, she regards her life to be
better than it would be at Bill's bar.
