Aly Raisman had done yet another spectacular exhibition, everyone on her team was cheering her.
Everyone but one.
Doctor Larry Nassar, the team physician. Naturally he was clapping at her performance, appearing to be sharing the gaudy spirit but, inside he was furious. He had his way with plenty of the girls from Mihai Bresnan teams but Aly. She was the only one who had rejected him.
He needed her to pay. It was in that moment, as he saw them all celebrating, that an idea came to his mind, an idea that not only would have given him the needed revenge but, at its completion, it could even let him have his way with the gymnast. First, though, he had some papers to forge and a discussion to had with Mihai.
The following day, as Aly was collecting her things to return home, she found herself being called to Mihai’s office. Wondering what this all was about, she placed down her bags and walked in the corridor to the office, as she entered though, she saw that there wasn’t only Mihai within the office.
Alongside with him there was his wife and the physician. She wasn’t sure what the guy deal was. Se didn’t want to think anything bad of anyone but, he gave her a bad vibe, especially since he was particularly physical during the examinations. Still, she sat on the provided chair and turned to face Mihai.
“Um… what’s up?”
“Aly…” began her coach “How do you feel?”
“Uhm? I feel fine… a bit of headache but nothing serious… why? What’s going on?”
“Uhm. You see, after your victory yesterday we were so happy that I had barely time to speak with you but, Larry received the results of your last medical.
While there is nothing worrying…there might be something worth to be investigated.
Larry?”
Nassar stood and passed the medical papers to Aly, so that she could try and check by herself, although she hadn’t the faintest idea how to read all that medical jargon.
“Basically, on the surface there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with you, Aly… But, digging a bit, there seems to be signs of an early development for a rare illness called ‘Dysmorphia’.
The illness manifest itself, at the initial stages with a persistent, but low, headache. If left untreated, it can quickly develop into a greater issue for the patient. While the patient will not feel or see any changes, its body will start to deteriorate quite quickly, until it could potentially bring to a fatal collapse.
Due to the risks, I have humbly offered my medical opinion on this matter. Knowing that it is a rare disease, there aren’t that many doctors who know how to treat it or who are able to recognize its symptoms.
For my sins, I have a deep knowledge of rare illnesses and Dysmorphia is one of these.
For these reason I proposed to Mihai to take you in cure for a few months, to observe and fight the development of said illness. We have already called your parent, and they have agreed but, being you an adult, we need also your consent.”
It was a lot to take in but, as she felt fine, she was more than ready to refuse and get her own doctor to visit her but, as she started to express her mind, Mihai preceded her.
“We don’t want to force you, Aly but, considering the situation, should you refuse, we will not have you participate under our team. It is for your safety.”
Aly knew that there was nothing she could do, especially since she knew that Mihai wasn’t going to change his mind. Sighing, she nodded as she accepted the doctor request and quickly signed all the papers, he gave to her.
As she signed the last page, Larry knew of having won.
Now, with the papers signed by Aly, nothing could prevent him from exacting his revenge.
After giving a few instructions to the girl, telling her to let herself ready to move for a few months, for he was going to take her somewhere private, where paparazzi’s weren’t going to bother them, he took his leave.
As he walked toward his car, he thought back to the papers he had them all sign. Getting Mihai’s signature had been pathetically easy. While Aly’s parents a bit more difficult. And now, with Aly’s own signature, all he had to do was to get those papers recorded and it would be done.
Thanks to those, in fact, he was now the legal guardian of Aly Raisman, as she had agreed, by signature, that she was relinquishing to him any legal decision toward her life, as if she had actually considered herself unable to take any decision about herself. With both Mihai’s and her parent’s signatures to confirm it and to relinquish any legal right over the girl, leaving everything to be managed by Larry himself.
With said authorization, no one could say anything to Aly, without his permission. Nor could the girl herself do anything to escape him.
Now, he could do what he wanted with Aly, and nobody was in power to oppose him.
Later that same day, saw Larry driving his car, with Aly in the car with him, as he drove toward a place that had been of his family for generations. It was a small villa, hidden in a forest. Although there was a nearby town, the only way to reach it was with the car and he had the only one available nearby.
Aly wasn’t still convinced of needing this vacation/therapy but, with no other choices, since both her coach and her parents had pushed her to go along, she had followed the doctor. Now, as they were travelling through the woods, she was feeling a bit better already.
As they came to a stop, to rest a bit, after hours of driving, Larry approached the gymnast and took her aside.
“Aly? I know you might feel like this is a waste of time but, I can assure you that this illness of yours is as grave as it can be dangerous. If a couple of months is all that is required to cure it, don’t you say it’s a good trade off?”
“Well... yeah… I guess so. But, Doc, what exactly awaits me at this private clinic of yours? There are exams?”
“Hm. Not so much as many exams and test as you think. For starters, though, before I forget, you have to take some pills, three times per day.
Not more, no less, unless instructed differently.”
As he said that, he opened his medical bag from the backseat, and gave her the small bottle pf pills, she took them curiously before opening it and taking one out.
“Any particular side effects? Can be taken at any time?”
“No, no side effects known. And yes but would be better if you take them always at the same time.”
“I see…” and as she said that she popped one in her mouth, swallowing it quickly. For a moment nothing seemed to happen, but in a few minutes, she almost collapsed on her seat, falling asleep.
Larry smiled seeing her in this state, as he then leaned toward her and whispered something in her ear.
“You are happy to be going to what, for you, will be basically a vacation. You trust Larry Nassar and you will do what he asks you while also will not find anything weird in how he acts toward you.
You will take two of these pills every day, three times per day.
When you wake up, you will feel better about yourself and ready to do what the doctor tells you.”
He left her there, sleeping off, as he then drove away. When Aly woke up, she felt better than ever, although she then noticed that it was dark outside. As she rubbed the sleep out of her eyes, she turned toward Larry. “How much have I slept?”
“For quite a while, but you were in need of it, apparently. Don’t worry, in half an hour we should be there. And once we are, I’ll escort you to your room so that you can rest.”
As they arrived at the Villa, Aly couldn’t believe her eyes, it was a massive place and yet, so little, when one took in the size of the trees surrounding it. As Larry parked the car, Aly got out and quickly collected her luggage, following the doctor into the villa, where a butler dressed as if he was in the eighteen hundred was waiting for them.
“Welcome Home, Master Nassar. It is a pleasure seeing you here”
“Thanks Frank. Oh, Aly, this is the head butler, Frank, he’s managing the entire staff, along with Cerys, the head maid. So, Frank, have you had the room prepared? My patient here, is really tired.”
“But of course, Master Nassar! Madam, let me summon one of my most trusted aids, Jorge?”
A moment later, an Adonis walking on two legs emerged from behind a double door, as it walked elegantly toward them. Dressed in a form fitting suit, he bowed slightly to them as he then smiled gently at Aly.
“A pleasure, Ma’am. I’m Jorge, and I’ll be glad to be of assistance for ANY request.”
As Aly walked away with the Adonis of a man, Larry moved closer to his head butler.
“So, is everything ready, Frank?”
“As you requested, Sir. If I may, I would suggest several course of action, Sir.”
“Tell me. Always open to suggestion...”
“Very well.
We can either let Ms. Raisman get comfortable, and lazy, as we get her used to be spoiled and pampered;
Or, we could be more direct and impose on her a heavy duty diet, making sure that she put on weight fast.
Otherwise, I’ve thought that a romance story with Jorge, could help out, after all, despite his appearances, Jorge prefers girls of the meatier variety.
Lastly, we could convince her about her need to become fat, until she would enjoy it.
Of course, Sir, any of these ideas will be working in tandem with your initial plan, with medical prescription and hypnosis.”
“I see…Well, Frank. I believe we can…”
