Chantal stood with Jan, Denise’s uncle, in front of a luxury apartment complex in Eindhoven; this is where Alejandro was supposedly in hiding after his escape from Maastricht. His adoptive parents lived here; these parents had been very happy with his adoption. After years of waiting, they had finally become eligible, though it had remained

Michaela and her entourage had been staying with Raymond for three weeks now; effectively, she had taken complete control of the household. The housekeeper had been sent off on three months’ paid leave, with Tineke and Herman taking over her duties.  Negotiations had reduced the total tax debt to 1.2 million Euros—a figure that appeared

Herman rang Raymond’s doorbell at 11:00 a.m. on Monday; Raymond was already waiting by the front door. Raymond knew his Mistress disliked waiting. He opened the door, and Michaela entered the apartment gracefully. In her high stilettos, she was considerably taller than Raymond and even slightly taller than Herman, who followed meekly behind her, carrying

After her time in Maastricht, Michaela had returned to Haarlem; the premises now had to be quickly cleared of all the equipment used in the practice, but first, her colleagues were invited to come and take a look and make offers. Herman and the gardener photographed all the items in their assembled state—both in the

The completion of Denise’s practice was celebrated on a Saturday with a festive opening; organizing this was the last thing Mark did for Denise, as Michaela was recalling him to Haarlem after today. The elderly German Mistress was present, and her former slaves—now Denise’s slaves—had turned out in large numbers (and paid an entry fee);

In the Schiphol Airport parking garage, a blonde woman named Michaela steps out of her car, assisted by her chauffeur, Herman. She is dressed in a long, black, leather-look pleated skirt and short black leather boots with high heels; beneath the skirt, she wears black nylon stockings held up by a garter belt. Her top

Before Mistress Madelon headed home, as she was getting into her car, she noticed—as always—that she was being spied on by her nosy neighbor; Diana had complained about this too.  On Michaela’s advice, cameras had been installed that captured him in the act of spying, showing him alongside the person he was watching. She could

Michaela was woken at 9 o’clock by her loyal slave, Herman; after showering, dressing, and having breakfast, she—followed by Herman—went to the slaves’ quarters, where only one slave, the gardener, still lived. After the punishment—which, starting today, had been reduced from 40 to 30 lashes—she and Herman were to visit the site in Katwijk to

After being branded, Jan was locked in a cell next to the gardener’s; after a few days, he managed to sleep a bit better on the hard bench, his lash wounds were healing well, and the pain from the branding had become more bearable.  The gardener changed his bandages every day and also tended to

Michaela was sitting at her desk when the notary crawled into her study naked; she was seated in her large armchair, with a naked Mark beside her—sitting on a small stool behind a small table holding his laptop. Mark had arrived in Haarlem at the same time as Mistress Denise and another slave, but he
