Mega Edition: Billionaire Playboy's Club...A Memoir By Virginia Roberts (Part 8) (8/5/26) · Beyond The Horizon

0:00
Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
0:02
Speaker 1: Epstein Chronicles. In this episode, we're picking up where we
0:06
Speaker 1: left off with the Virginia Roberts memoir The Billionaire's Playboy Club.
0:12
Speaker 1: It didn't take me long to get back into my
0:14
Speaker 1: own comfort zone, heading straight back to my cabana after
0:17
Speaker 1: dessert was served, nearly tripping over my own feet as
0:21
Speaker 1: I tried to scuttle off in a hurry. As soon
0:24
Speaker 1: as I entered my domain, I drew a breath inside,
0:27
Speaker 1: a deep exhale outwards, Finally alone and at peace for
0:31
Speaker 1: now at least. Although the sun had set hours ago,
0:34
Speaker 1: the high temperature of the Caribbean were still an affliction
0:38
Speaker 1: plaguing my cabana. I was welcomed by a rush of
0:42
Speaker 1: warm airror as I opened the door. I hit the
0:44
Speaker 1: switch to the fan and stripped down for a shower.
0:47
Speaker 1: Preparing my towel and toilet trees, I opened the back
0:50
Speaker 1: door to the outside shower and placed them on the floor.
0:53
Speaker 1: Whether I was cleaning up in the midst of a
0:56
Speaker 1: hot day or retiring for the evening, an outside shower
0:59
Speaker 1: was all way splendid under the thick, dark cloak of
1:02
Speaker 1: the night sky. Only the moon and stars to shed
1:05
Speaker 1: enough light for me to see my way around. I
1:07
Speaker 1: could feel the soft breeze lick droplets falling off of
1:11
Speaker 1: my body's curves in the reflection of the moonlight. It
1:14
Speaker 1: only encouraged me to stay longer under the warmth from
1:17
Speaker 1: the spray of rushing water. I let the hot water
1:20
Speaker 1: run out before I was sufficed enough to go back inside.
1:24
Speaker 1: Lounging around the bed and my panties in a tank top,
1:27
Speaker 1: I was still sweltering from the heat, trying to tire
1:31
Speaker 1: myself out. I did some reading and eventually fell asleep.
1:34
Speaker 1: I needed those times to unwind after such an ordeal.
1:37
Speaker 1: Letting the xanax wash away all of my pain, I
1:40
Speaker 1: could then forgive the mistakes I had made, blaming myself
1:44
Speaker 1: for staying around. For this, I had wished I had
1:47
Speaker 1: never been born at all. The pills would take all
1:49
Speaker 1: of that away from me. My heart was tangled in
1:52
Speaker 1: a weave of deception and pain, only reassured by the
1:56
Speaker 1: lies that were told to me, and the lies I
1:58
Speaker 1: would have to convince myself. When we flew back into
2:02
Speaker 1: Palm Beach, Juan drove me back to my apartment lonely,
2:05
Speaker 1: for some companionship. I decided to call an old friend.
2:08
Speaker 1: I was longing to be important to someone, and unfortunately,
2:11
Speaker 1: with such little time to have a social life of
2:13
Speaker 1: my own, I was compelled to call TJ again. His
2:17
Speaker 1: mom answered the phone and sounded quite surprised to hear
2:19
Speaker 1: my voice on the other end. She was always kind
2:22
Speaker 1: to me. I even used to bring her back kolacans
2:25
Speaker 1: from other countries, a bizarre hobby she loved collecting. She
2:30
Speaker 1: just didn't know what to say or what I saw
2:32
Speaker 1: on her son, even saying that to his face many
2:35
Speaker 1: times over. Not blind to his ways of cheating and stealing,
2:39
Speaker 1: being a personal victim of it, she made it a
2:42
Speaker 1: parent that he did not approve of TJ's choice and
2:45
Speaker 1: a lifestyle. It used to really hurt him how his
2:48
Speaker 1: parents thought so badly of him, so he gave up
2:51
Speaker 1: trying to earn their love a long time ago. As
2:54
Speaker 1: long as he didn't steal from them anymore, he was
2:57
Speaker 1: allowed to live there. Instead of that being a lesson
2:59
Speaker 1: to him, he would just try to be more clever
3:01
Speaker 1: and what he would steal less obvious things. He would
3:04
Speaker 1: steal the toaster and sell it for five dollars if
3:07
Speaker 1: he knew it would help him get his next high. Nonetheless,
3:10
Speaker 1: and at my expense, I had a sweet spot for him.
3:13
Speaker 1: With enough water under the bridge, I was able to
3:15
Speaker 1: forget about the troubles he caused. His mom told me
3:19
Speaker 1: she'd passed on the message when he got home, but
3:22
Speaker 1: that could be days from now. The last time he
3:24
Speaker 1: had been home was a couple of weeks now. He
3:26
Speaker 1: only stopped by to get something to eat, have a
3:28
Speaker 1: long sleep, and beg for a few bucks, supposedly to
3:31
Speaker 1: help him buy food. Then he was off again without
3:35
Speaker 1: a single word, only leaving his parents with their own assumptions,
3:39
Speaker 1: which were pretty much correct anyway. I then called around
3:43
Speaker 1: a couple of mutual friends to see if anyone had
3:45
Speaker 1: heard from him. Everyone I spoke to pointed their finger
3:48
Speaker 1: in the same direction and the worst place possible, Richie's house.
3:52
Speaker 1: One of his best friends told me how he bad
3:55
Speaker 1: he'd been doing. He's not the same guy anymore, and
3:58
Speaker 1: all he cares about is his next hie and where
4:00
Speaker 1: he gets it. If we don't get anything for him,
4:03
Speaker 1: he just loses it and goes off somewhere. It was
4:05
Speaker 1: hard to hear how badly affected my best friend was
4:08
Speaker 1: and a part of me secretly hoped they weren't right.
4:12
Speaker 1: Still defending him, I told everyone I had spoke to
4:14
Speaker 1: while trying to find him that TJ would be fine.
4:17
Speaker 1: He's just probably going through a bad phase like we
4:20
Speaker 1: all do sometimes, and he needs people to have his
4:22
Speaker 1: back more now than ever. I was pretty much laughed
4:25
Speaker 1: at on the spot. Most people that I considered my
4:28
Speaker 1: friends at the time were only friends by association. As
4:31
Speaker 1: long as we all looked the part, acted the part,
4:34
Speaker 1: and could handle the part, only then did they want
4:36
Speaker 1: to be around us. The last person I called was
4:39
Speaker 1: the last person I had hoped he wasn't with, and
4:42
Speaker 1: it turned out that everyone was right. He was one
4:45
Speaker 1: of the biggest coke dealers in our area, Richie Rich,
4:47
Speaker 1: as everyone used to call him. He didn't look like
4:50
Speaker 1: a typical, strung out junkier dealer. Instead, he looked like
4:53
Speaker 1: your average preppy college grad with aspiring propositions. He dressed
4:58
Speaker 1: well and acted like a nice guy to the eminent clients,
5:01
Speaker 1: only to get them hooked on his drugs and then
5:04
Speaker 1: turns them in and onto the streets. He was a businessman,
5:08
Speaker 1: and his business was thriving. He carried everything from the
5:11
Speaker 1: most dangerous drugs to guns and knives. Having ears in
5:15
Speaker 1: all places made him dangerous acquaintance, using kids off the
5:19
Speaker 1: local Palm Beach street to run his dirty errands and
5:22
Speaker 1: the errands of the others above him. He made his
5:25
Speaker 1: money by using these teenagers, who, as hard as it
5:28
Speaker 1: was to believe, was once somebody sweet child. I knew
5:32
Speaker 1: TJ didn't have his finances to support himself or his
5:35
Speaker 1: drug habit, so the likelihood of him being indebted to
5:38
Speaker 1: Richie in other ways was a safe assumption. Obtaining Richie's
5:42
Speaker 1: number from one of TJ's friends, Marcus, he asked me,
5:45
Speaker 1: what do you want to call Richie for? Come over
5:47
Speaker 1: to my place and I can get you whatever you want.
5:50
Speaker 1: Marcus was a sleeves bag who would tirelessly continue to
5:54
Speaker 1: try to appeal to my lesser sense of judgment, never
5:56
Speaker 1: getting the hint or not, just caring that I could
5:59
Speaker 1: never would never be interested in him. No thanks, Marcus,
6:03
Speaker 1: Can I just get the number pleased? It's very important
6:05
Speaker 1: that I get a hold of TJ. I'm really worried
6:07
Speaker 1: about him. I hated having to call this guy, let
6:10
Speaker 1: alone ask him for something. Is this about the Adam bullshit?
6:13
Speaker 1: Because if it is, you can let him know what
6:16
Speaker 1: a fucking bitch he is for not showing up to
6:18
Speaker 1: be there for him. You can tell him that from me,
6:21
Speaker 1: and that it's his fault and he should have been there,
6:23
Speaker 1: and it should have been him that's lying in the
6:24
Speaker 1: morgue now, not Adam. I was totally thrown off by
6:28
Speaker 1: his allegation. I could only mutter out a whisper. Did
6:31
Speaker 1: you just say that Adam's dead? What happened? Oh? Snap?
6:34
Speaker 1: I thought you knew where you've been? Girl under a
6:36
Speaker 1: rock or something. Marcus was less than sensitive about his statements.
6:40
Speaker 1: He got shot in the head by two black guys
6:42
Speaker 1: who got suspicious when their usual supplier didn't show up.
6:46
Speaker 1: Your boy, TJ was so fucked up he didn't even
6:48
Speaker 1: remember to turn up at Richie's for the delivery. So
6:51
Speaker 1: Richie sent Adam alone, and now he's dead. Adam was
6:54
Speaker 1: a sweet kid who had just happened to be born
6:57
Speaker 1: living on the wrong block. Best friends with TJ s childhood,
7:01
Speaker 1: The two were inseparable until puberty hit, and then they
7:05
Speaker 1: would chase girls together, and Adam followed in TJ's every footstep,
7:09
Speaker 1: mimicking his shadow. If TJ jumped off the Eiffel Tower.
7:13
Speaker 1: Then so would Adam. So then TJ got hooked on drugs. Consequently,
7:17
Speaker 1: Adam did too, leading ultimately to his death. Wanting to
7:21
Speaker 1: end the conversation with Marcus quickly, I scribbled down the
7:24
Speaker 1: number on the blank piece of paper in front of
7:26
Speaker 1: me and hung up the phone call. And then I
7:29
Speaker 1: called Richie's place immediately. Yeah, it was Richie, who bluntly
7:32
Speaker 1: answered the phone after the first ring. Hi, uh, rich
7:36
Speaker 1: it's Jenna, TJ's X. We met a couple of times
7:38
Speaker 1: at a few parties. I was trying to remind him
7:40
Speaker 1: of who I was, knowing how paranoid he was about
7:43
Speaker 1: people having his number. Oh yeah, I know who you are.
7:46
Speaker 1: What is it that you want, he answered with a
7:48
Speaker 1: dry tone. I was hoping you could tell me where
7:51
Speaker 1: I could find TJ. I've heard some stuff and I'm
7:53
Speaker 1: really worried about him. Is he all right? Richie snickered
7:56
Speaker 1: at my concerns. Where he was mom or Something's fine?
8:00
Speaker 1: He should be back here around five o'clock. I'll tell
8:02
Speaker 1: him you called in the middle of me saying thank
8:04
Speaker 1: you and goodbye. He hung up the phone. As there
8:07
Speaker 1: is no room for manners. In his line of work.
8:11
Speaker 1: I waited until five o'clock, watching the minutes on the
8:13
Speaker 1: clock tick by, and when five o'clock came and passed
8:16
Speaker 1: with no phone call, I couldn't deny to myself that
8:19
Speaker 1: I wasn't stricken with distress. Falling asleep wasn't easy either.
8:24
Speaker 1: I ended up crashing out on my sofa watching TV,
8:27
Speaker 1: half expecting to hear another murder on the news, and
8:30
Speaker 1: it being TJ forgetting to put on my eyemask before
8:33
Speaker 1: I went to bed. I was woken up the next
8:35
Speaker 1: morning by rays of the sun beaming into my living room.
8:40
Speaker 1: When I sleep, I am a creature of darkness, avoided
8:43
Speaker 1: any window light at all costs, staggering to the coffee pot,
8:47
Speaker 1: not used to getting up this early. My first thought
8:49
Speaker 1: that day was TJ and why he hadn't called. A
8:53
Speaker 1: million thoughts rushed through my head like a steam train.
8:55
Speaker 1: Is he okay? Is he not calling because he's still
8:58
Speaker 1: mad from our last breakup as he moved on to
9:01
Speaker 1: someone else? Is he in trouble? Did Richie even pass
9:04
Speaker 1: on my message? The thoughts were an endless infliction, consuming
9:08
Speaker 1: my entire day, until finally he called my cell phone
9:12
Speaker 1: later in the afternoon. Relief swept over me when I
9:15
Speaker 1: heard his voice on the other end. Thank god you called.
9:19
Speaker 1: I've been so worried about you. Are you all right?
9:22
Speaker 1: I jumped in without letting him know or get pass,
9:24
Speaker 1: saying hello, Yeah, I'm fine. Richie told me you called
9:28
Speaker 1: his house looking for me yesterday and gave me shit
9:31
Speaker 1: for saying you were upset or something. What's up? I
9:34
Speaker 1: knew I would have to dedicate about asking what happened
9:37
Speaker 1: to Adam, thinking he'd be a mess over it. I
9:40
Speaker 1: heard from Marcus that something happened to Adam, and I
9:43
Speaker 1: got worried about you. What's going on? TJ? TJ sounded
9:46
Speaker 1: scared for what reasons were beyond my knowledge, but I
9:50
Speaker 1: was going to find out, He replied, I don't want
9:52
Speaker 1: to talk about it over the phone. Are you in
9:54
Speaker 1: town so we can meet up or something? It was
9:56
Speaker 1: obvious I wanted him to know that I was more
9:59
Speaker 1: than willing to let me shoulder for his problem. I'm
10:01
Speaker 1: home now if you want to come over whenever you
10:03
Speaker 1: feel like it. He didn't hesitate, and taking me up
10:07
Speaker 1: on the offer. But I won't be able to get
10:09
Speaker 1: there until later. I'm downtown at Richie's place unless you
10:12
Speaker 1: want to come pick me up. It was more of
10:14
Speaker 1: a request than a favor to myself, which is what
10:17
Speaker 1: he was making it out to sound like. Knowing him
10:20
Speaker 1: all too well, I didn't make a fuss of his
10:22
Speaker 1: ill contemplated attributes. I got the address off him and
10:26
Speaker 1: made my way into the ugliness of the not so
10:29
Speaker 1: dazzling parts upon Beaches downtown area, rolling up my windows
10:33
Speaker 1: and locking the doors to my truck, I nervously drove
10:37
Speaker 1: down the rough streets trying to find Richie's apartment complex,
10:41
Speaker 1: knowing all too well his history of the area. It's
10:44
Speaker 1: not a place a lone white girl in a nice
10:46
Speaker 1: truck wants to be seen. Many reports of the locals
10:48
Speaker 1: rushing up the vehicles with a weapon, demanding money, cars,
10:52
Speaker 1: or just angry and out to hurt someone. I was
10:55
Speaker 1: speeding through the streets, wanting to get out of there
10:58
Speaker 1: as quick as I could. A sad world we live in,
11:01
Speaker 1: with so much hurt everywhere you look, and nobody wanting
11:04
Speaker 1: to do anything about it. Just accepting the hopelessness of
11:07
Speaker 1: never being able to achieve anything more than what our
11:10
Speaker 1: civilization has to come to. Being among one of these
11:14
Speaker 1: people We were similar in so many ways, only separated
11:18
Speaker 1: by our personal fears in the different direction they pulled
11:21
Speaker 1: us into. I drove straight through the open gates at
11:25
Speaker 1: the entrance to the complex and parked on the gutter
11:27
Speaker 1: in front of Richie's block of units. Crowded people stood
11:31
Speaker 1: outside the block as I was entering, being hit on
11:33
Speaker 1: and offered drugs simultaneously. My cheeks went flush and I
11:37
Speaker 1: put my head down, not saying a word. Walking up
11:40
Speaker 1: the corridors of the staircase looked like a scene out
11:43
Speaker 1: of a horror flick. Graffiti covered the peeling of green
11:46
Speaker 1: paint on the walls, and the pungent stench of something
11:49
Speaker 1: rotting only to the worst of my imagination filled my nostrils.
11:54
Speaker 1: I could hear baby screaming through the thin walls, and
11:57
Speaker 1: trying to find the unit number was difficult from the
11:59
Speaker 1: sporadic flicker of the fluorescent lights above me. At last,
12:03
Speaker 1: I found Richie's one, quite astonished with myself that I
12:06
Speaker 1: even made it this far. I had to knock loudly
12:09
Speaker 1: on the door a few times before a young girl
12:11
Speaker 1: answered the door with eyeliner bleeding down from her eyes.
12:14
Speaker 1: Her jet black hair was strung out and a mess,
12:18
Speaker 1: and she looked off her face on some hard drugs.
12:22
Speaker 1: She had only her brawn and a short skirt to
12:25
Speaker 1: cover her private areas, and a cigarette hung out of
12:27
Speaker 1: her mouth to complete the full picture of terrible state
12:30
Speaker 1: she was in. She looked me down and up with
12:33
Speaker 1: a contempt and snubbed at me, what do you want?
12:36
Speaker 1: I maintain my politeness and told her TJ was expecting me.
12:39
Speaker 1: She opened the door and walked away, leaving me by
12:42
Speaker 1: myself to venture through looking for TJ. All right, folks,
12:45
Speaker 1: you're going to wrap up right here and in the
12:47
Speaker 1: next episode dealing with the topic, we're gonna pick up
12:49
Speaker 1: where we left off. All of the information that goes
12:52
Speaker 1: with this episode can be found in the description box.
12:55
Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
12:58
Speaker 1: Epstein Chronicles. In this episode, we're diving right back in
13:01
Speaker 1: to Virginia Robert's memoir a Billionaire playboys club. Passing through
13:06
Speaker 1: the kitchen, it looked like a hospital lab, with syringes
13:10
Speaker 1: on the countertop and medicine containers lying around everywhere. Minding
13:14
Speaker 1: my steps through the dirty house, I walked to the
13:17
Speaker 1: back of the living room and found TJ and a
13:19
Speaker 1: k hole strung out on a filthy couch. Hey there,
13:23
Speaker 1: he acknowledged me with a giant smile spread across his face.
13:26
Speaker 1: He probably didn't even know who I am or who
13:29
Speaker 1: I was from the dreadful state that he was in.
13:32
Speaker 1: My first look at him in months, and I was
13:33
Speaker 1: in utter shock. My jaw must have dropped to the
13:36
Speaker 1: floor at the very sight of him. Never seeing him
13:39
Speaker 1: so skinny and unhealthy looking, I took pity, and I
13:42
Speaker 1: wanted to help him before things got even worse and
13:45
Speaker 1: he ended up like Adam dead. TJ. Hey, buddy, it's Jenna.
13:49
Speaker 1: Remember I was coming to pick you up today. You
13:51
Speaker 1: don't look so good. What are you doing so messed up?
13:54
Speaker 1: I don't think he could even understand what I was
13:56
Speaker 1: even saying, because he could only reply by giggling and
14:00
Speaker 1: rolling over, patting the couch as if it were a
14:02
Speaker 1: fluffy animal. I stood over him now and raised my
14:05
Speaker 1: voice so he'd know I was serious and snap out
14:08
Speaker 1: of it a bit. Get up, TJ. Now, I ushered
14:11
Speaker 1: at him and to get him off the couch, repeated
14:13
Speaker 1: myself a few times over, and with no response, I
14:16
Speaker 1: knew I had to get physical, rolling him back over
14:19
Speaker 1: to face me again. I smacked his face hard, and
14:22
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's stung, but I got the reaction I
14:25
Speaker 1: had wanted. He sat up and looked at me, confused.
14:28
Speaker 1: At least now he was able to focus on my
14:30
Speaker 1: words requesting him to come with me. He was just
14:33
Speaker 1: getting up from the couch and stumbling around before falling
14:36
Speaker 1: down to the floor again. Putting his arms around my
14:39
Speaker 1: neck and carrying the majority of his weight, I helped
14:42
Speaker 1: him up many times, over and down three flights of stairs,
14:45
Speaker 1: into my truck and drove him back to my place.
14:48
Speaker 1: It was a triumph on its own, arriving downstairs in
14:51
Speaker 1: one piece. Being the only person who really cared if
14:53
Speaker 1: TJ lived or died, I felt like it was my
14:56
Speaker 1: responsibility of helping him, and it was my concern alone. Thankfully,
15:00
Speaker 1: Jeffrey was in Palm Beach for the next couple of
15:02
Speaker 1: days or weeks entertaining royalty, which gave me a little
15:05
Speaker 1: bit of time to try and clean TJ up. I
15:08
Speaker 1: called a few of his friends that I knew, and
15:11
Speaker 1: I asked them not to score any drugs for him,
15:14
Speaker 1: pleading with them and telling them that he was on
15:17
Speaker 1: the brink of death. Reminding them of their friendship between us,
15:20
Speaker 1: all that once existed before the drugs corrupted so many
15:23
Speaker 1: of us. Some of them laughed, telling me I was
15:26
Speaker 1: wasting my time with TJ, and others were nice enough
15:28
Speaker 1: to at least lie to my face politely and promise
15:31
Speaker 1: not to help him feed his addiction. I just wanted
15:34
Speaker 1: to remedy all of his pain and problems, but I
15:37
Speaker 1: felt so helpless fighting his battle against the streets. I
15:40
Speaker 1: bought some marijuana for him to smoke, hoping to subside
15:43
Speaker 1: the withdrawals he was facing over the next few days,
15:45
Speaker 1: but with no avail. The only thing that would help
15:48
Speaker 1: him was my xanax. A few of those pills, and
15:50
Speaker 1: he would go back to sleep, only waking up to
15:53
Speaker 1: get more of them. I would have to force him
15:56
Speaker 1: out of bed to take a shower once a day
15:58
Speaker 1: and make sure that he ate something. He was more
16:00
Speaker 1: like a baby right now than he was a boyfriend,
16:03
Speaker 1: too much in need of something I couldn't give. When
16:07
Speaker 1: I went to see Jeffrey over the next course of days,
16:09
Speaker 1: he picked out the dilemma I wore spread across my
16:12
Speaker 1: face straight away. You're back with TJ, aren't you. It
16:16
Speaker 1: was so funny that he knew me so well. Yeah,
16:18
Speaker 1: he's in a real bad place in his life right now,
16:21
Speaker 1: and he needs my help. He looked astonished and replied,
16:24
Speaker 1: you're a much better friend than I am. I know
16:26
Speaker 1: people like him, and trust me, they never change. No
16:29
Speaker 1: use in even trying, I believed him to, knowing I
16:33
Speaker 1: was stupid for even attempting to change DJ, But my
16:36
Speaker 1: heart felt differently. He was still a human being and
16:38
Speaker 1: a good friend of mine, just down at his worst.
16:41
Speaker 1: That's what good friends are for. I laughed back at
16:44
Speaker 1: his remark, not wanting to take this conversation too much further.
16:48
Speaker 1: I admire your loyalty at least, but take my word
16:51
Speaker 1: for it, he will hurt you again. His words were
16:54
Speaker 1: chilling but true. I had to find out for myself.
16:56
Speaker 1: Though almost seeming like an actual friend for a second,
17:00
Speaker 1: he ruined his brief momentary image by turning over from
17:03
Speaker 1: the unfinished massage that I was giving him and acquired
17:06
Speaker 1: his sexual longings from my worn down soul. Not only
17:10
Speaker 1: did he know that I didn't want to endure any
17:12
Speaker 1: more demands tonight, but his energy enhanced from knowing it too.
17:17
Speaker 1: Looking up at him during the foreplay, it was easy
17:19
Speaker 1: observation from the look in my eyes that I hated
17:23
Speaker 1: every minute of it, seething through all of my duties
17:26
Speaker 1: until he climaxed. Most days I could take this kind
17:29
Speaker 1: of treatment. It was only seldom I couldn't hold it
17:31
Speaker 1: in the way Jeffrey disregarded my feelings. He had me
17:35
Speaker 1: just where he wanted me, like a pawn piece on
17:37
Speaker 1: a checker's board. I was his own personal sex slave.
17:41
Speaker 1: For the remainder of the evening, I stayed quiet, not
17:43
Speaker 1: sure of what to say after an episode like that.
17:46
Speaker 1: It was a vigorous display of how calculating he could
17:49
Speaker 1: really be. He required me to clean up his spilled
17:51
Speaker 1: seamen off of his genitals with a warm washcloth before
17:55
Speaker 1: he retired to his bedroom for a good night's sleep,
17:58
Speaker 1: only a monstrous creep. Sleep easy at night, knowing what
18:02
Speaker 1: pain he caused others. I went downstairs and asked Wan,
18:05
Speaker 1: who was still in the kitchen, to pay me for
18:07
Speaker 1: the evening, telling him that Jeffrey had gone to sleep
18:10
Speaker 1: for the night. It wasn't an unusual request. Wan would
18:14
Speaker 1: often have to fix up the girls after the sessions,
18:17
Speaker 1: and sometimes even drive them home. He went to Jeffrey's desk,
18:20
Speaker 1: and underneath was a duffel bag that was always held
18:23
Speaker 1: with an insurmountable bundle of CRISP one hundred dollars bills.
18:27
Speaker 1: He took out two for me and handed them over.
18:30
Speaker 1: I thanked him and said good night, as I was
18:32
Speaker 1: always polite to Wan and his wife Maria. His eyes
18:35
Speaker 1: were gentle and told me that he was allowed to say.
18:39
Speaker 1: I understood, well. We all needed to eat and pay bills, unfortunately,
18:44
Speaker 1: even sometimes at our own moral expense. Putting the keys
18:48
Speaker 1: in the ignition, I started up the engine and reversed
18:51
Speaker 1: out of Jeffrey's driveway with promptness. I didn't want to
18:54
Speaker 1: be there a moment longer than I had to be.
18:56
Speaker 1: Not much to look forward to getting back to my
18:58
Speaker 1: apartment either. I needed some time to filter my emotions.
19:02
Speaker 1: Parking my truck in front of the nearby beach, I
19:05
Speaker 1: took my shoes off, gradually stepping out of the door
19:07
Speaker 1: into the fog. I walked down to the edge of
19:10
Speaker 1: the sand, where the water licked my toes. My life
19:13
Speaker 1: was slipping away from me, and I was really beginning
19:16
Speaker 1: to question the difference between living and dying. I was
19:19
Speaker 1: so tired of everything. My whole existence revolved around being
19:23
Speaker 1: everything to everyone, forgetting about being something for myself altogether,
19:28
Speaker 1: Pretending to be someone else became an attribute I was
19:31
Speaker 1: better than good at, probably much of why Jeffrey liked
19:34
Speaker 1: me in the first place. This time, I held back
19:37
Speaker 1: my tears and only let the anger fester into a
19:40
Speaker 1: deep pit into my stomach. My rage was aimed at
19:44
Speaker 1: the very people who abandoned me to offend for myself
19:47
Speaker 1: in the first place, and accepted this life as normal
19:50
Speaker 1: for me, my parents. When I got back to my apartment,
19:53
Speaker 1: I was expecting to have to look after TJ, but
19:56
Speaker 1: to my surprise, he had come around good at that night.
19:59
Speaker 1: He agreed me at the door and ask me how
20:01
Speaker 1: my evening was. It was all fine. I easily lied.
20:05
Speaker 1: I never let anyone inside close enough to see my vulnerabilities.
20:09
Speaker 1: They were mine alone to battle in my head. They
20:11
Speaker 1: were too shameful to talk about anyway. He wanted to
20:15
Speaker 1: talk about something else. Sitting down at the dining room table,
20:18
Speaker 1: he began his spiel. I know you don't think much
20:21
Speaker 1: of me anymore. How could you? I'm a junkie who
20:23
Speaker 1: steals and sells drugs for a living but I promise
20:26
Speaker 1: that's all going to change now. Adam is dead because
20:29
Speaker 1: of me, and the only way I can make up
20:31
Speaker 1: for it to him is to get away from it all.
20:34
Speaker 1: I promise that things are going to get better. It
20:37
Speaker 1: was a convincing talk, but I knew him all too well.
20:40
Speaker 1: His demon inside yearned for him to fail. But who
20:44
Speaker 1: was I to second guess him out loud? I could
20:46
Speaker 1: only try to give him hope. No one's perfect, DJ,
20:49
Speaker 1: at least you're trying now, and that's all that matters
20:52
Speaker 1: to me. I'm so proud of you. I gave him
20:54
Speaker 1: a sincere hug and kissed him for the first time
20:56
Speaker 1: in a long time. I love you, he said to me,
20:59
Speaker 1: and return my life back. We slept in the bed
21:01
Speaker 1: together that night and were officially back together. Two days later,
21:06
Speaker 1: I was gone again, beckoned to Santa fe Gleayne only
21:10
Speaker 1: told me I was to meet someone there. Not sure
21:13
Speaker 1: of whom that was. It wasn't my place to ask questions.
21:16
Speaker 1: As far as I knew, it could be anyone, and
21:19
Speaker 1: I had no choice but to be compliant to their needs.
21:23
Speaker 1: It was the middle of the day when I arrived
21:25
Speaker 1: at the airport. One of the ranchands came to pick
21:27
Speaker 1: me up in a big war truck that smelled like
21:29
Speaker 1: dirt and sweat, but I didn't mind. That's what I
21:32
Speaker 1: loved about the countryside. When we arrived at the mansion,
21:36
Speaker 1: my guest was already there waiting for me. I couldn't
21:39
Speaker 1: wipe the look off my face. As he turned around
21:41
Speaker 1: from the bookshelf that he was standing at. Hello, the
21:45
Speaker 1: same old cheesy grin greeted me once again. It was
21:48
Speaker 1: His Highness, Prince Andrew, and what a sight. He wrapped
21:52
Speaker 1: his arms around my waist and greeted me like an
21:54
Speaker 1: old friend. I hugged him back, rolling my eyes at
21:57
Speaker 1: the same time, already dreading what lay in store over
22:00
Speaker 1: the next couple of days. My job was to entertain
22:03
Speaker 1: them endlessly, whether that meant having to bestow them any
22:06
Speaker 1: of my body during an erotic massage or simply take
22:10
Speaker 1: a horseback riding. For the next couple of days, he
22:13
Speaker 1: was to be my only concern, but he wasn't. I
22:16
Speaker 1: called in checking on TJ a few times a day,
22:19
Speaker 1: not wanting to be a nag, but just hoping he
22:21
Speaker 1: hadn't had any thoughts about relapsing. He was doing great,
22:25
Speaker 1: even applying for a couple of jobs. Being reassured by
22:28
Speaker 1: him made my time away less complicated, and, thankfully, with
22:32
Speaker 1: the help of my ever ready xanax, I was able
22:34
Speaker 1: to cope with the ordeal. The mansion was completely empty,
22:38
Speaker 1: save a couple of maids who also cooked our dinners
22:41
Speaker 1: for us, and a couple of bodyguards that we hardly
22:44
Speaker 1: even saw at all. The time dragged by slowly for me,
22:47
Speaker 1: as I was counting down the hours until I flew
22:50
Speaker 1: away again anywhere but here, I thought. It wasn't easy
22:54
Speaker 1: meeting the sexual desires of these strange men, the Prince
22:57
Speaker 1: being one of them. He loved my feet and even
23:00
Speaker 1: in between my toes. Then there was the lack of
23:03
Speaker 1: passion in the intimacy we shared. To him, I was
23:06
Speaker 1: just another girl and to me he was just another job.
23:10
Speaker 1: Not the right reasons to be together, But I thought,
23:13
Speaker 1: in this world and to these monsters, there didn't need
23:16
Speaker 1: to be a reason. To them, it's nothing but a
23:19
Speaker 1: reenactment of their personal fantasies. To me, a living nightmare. Thankfully,
23:23
Speaker 1: one of Jeffrey's assistants from New York called me on
23:26
Speaker 1: my cell phone in the morning on the second day
23:28
Speaker 1: to fill me in on my next adventure. I had
23:31
Speaker 1: a flight booked for me to leave that afternoon to
23:34
Speaker 1: arrive at LaGuardia Airport in the evening. Even though I
23:38
Speaker 1: had to go back to he had another controlling man,
23:40
Speaker 1: I was still relieved. At least I was used to
23:43
Speaker 1: the confinements of Jeffrey's control. In some twisted way, he
23:46
Speaker 1: was more comforting than these strangers he sent me to
23:50
Speaker 1: overlooking the city of New York. As the plane landed,
23:53
Speaker 1: felt like I was flying from one cage to another,
23:56
Speaker 1: and trapped by falling victim to the predators that lured
23:59
Speaker 1: me into the closure. I didn't know how I would
24:02
Speaker 1: ever get out again. The deep pit in my stomach
24:04
Speaker 1: began to churn again, a physical reaction to the anxiety
24:08
Speaker 1: I was played with. Before getting off the plane, I
24:11
Speaker 1: touched up my makeup to hide any signs of the
24:14
Speaker 1: frailty that I was feeling. All right, folks, we're gonna
24:17
Speaker 1: wrap up right here and to the next episode. We're
24:19
Speaker 1: gonna pick up where we left off. All of the
24:21
Speaker 1: information that goes with this episode can be found in
24:24
Speaker 1: the description box. What's up, everyone, and welcome to another
24:27
Speaker 1: episode of the Epstein chronicles. In this episode, we're picking
24:31
Speaker 1: up where we left off with the Virginia Roberts memoir
24:34
Speaker 1: The Billionaire's Playboy Club. Jojo met me at the arrival
24:37
Speaker 1: terminal and picked up my luggage for me. He never
24:40
Speaker 1: said much at all, nodding to any reciprocating conversation. I
24:44
Speaker 1: don't think he could really speak that good of English. Anyway,
24:48
Speaker 1: It was better for me, as I preferred the quietness
24:50
Speaker 1: of the moment. He opened the back door for me
24:52
Speaker 1: and we headed off for my next prison cell. When
24:55
Speaker 1: we got to Jeffrey's mansion on seventy second Street, the
24:58
Speaker 1: place looked empty. I walked up the staircase to Jeffrey's
25:01
Speaker 1: office and he wasn't there. Feeling a bit hungry, I
25:04
Speaker 1: walked back down to where the kitchen was. I opened
25:07
Speaker 1: the fridge and found some leftovers that Adam Jeffrey chef
25:10
Speaker 1: had cooked. I loved his cooking when it wasn't filled
25:13
Speaker 1: with bean sprouts and tofu. He used to make the
25:16
Speaker 1: best pizza upon request, or whenever he was cooking seafood,
25:19
Speaker 1: which he knew I hated. He had an honest appeal
25:22
Speaker 1: about him and never even took notice when on many occasions,
25:26
Speaker 1: us girls would be prancing around topless, sometimes even stark
25:29
Speaker 1: naked around the pool or the beach. He would have
25:33
Speaker 1: to serve us our meals and would do it with
25:35
Speaker 1: such a casual professionalism, never making anyone uneasy at any occasion.
25:40
Speaker 1: And she's talking about Adam Perry Lang right there, folks,
25:43
Speaker 1: friends with Jimmy Kimmel and somebody that's been on the
25:46
Speaker 1: Joe Rogan Show. Before halfway through my meal, the kitchen
25:50
Speaker 1: door swung open, and incoming was Jeffrey and Glane, choking
25:54
Speaker 1: down my bite of food. I got up from my
25:56
Speaker 1: seat and I kissed them both on the cheeks. Hi, guys,
25:59
Speaker 1: how are you? I greeted them, and Golayne answered for
26:01
Speaker 1: them both good. Good, Sit down and finish your meal.
26:04
Speaker 1: Don't let us interrupt you. I hated eating alone in
26:08
Speaker 1: front of people. Chewing food and maintaining a conversation at
26:11
Speaker 1: the same time didn't give off the best look. I
26:14
Speaker 1: was just finishing anyways. Can I get you, guys anything?
26:17
Speaker 1: Maybe a tear or something. Always playing my part another
26:20
Speaker 1: reason to keep me around. I guess I went beyond
26:23
Speaker 1: the call of duty, and after the last period with them,
26:26
Speaker 1: I had been reminded of my place. Yes, I'll take one,
26:29
Speaker 1: Glaine stated, Jeffrey, how about you? Anything I can get
26:33
Speaker 1: for you? I asked again, any answered no thanks. We
26:36
Speaker 1: just date and I'm still full. And they sat down
26:39
Speaker 1: together on the stools at the kitchen bench. I got
26:42
Speaker 1: out the shiny red kettle from the cupboard, knowing my
26:45
Speaker 1: way all too well around the kitchen, and put it
26:47
Speaker 1: over the hot stove plate. Turning around to face them,
26:51
Speaker 1: I thought they were acting peculiar, So Golaine started the conversation,
26:55
Speaker 1: how was the ranch with the prince. It was a
26:57
Speaker 1: natural reaction for me to blush, knowing exactactly what she
27:00
Speaker 1: was referring to. Keeping busy preparing the cup of tea
27:04
Speaker 1: and avoiding eye contact with both of them, I started
27:06
Speaker 1: to unpack the counter where I had been eating. I
27:10
Speaker 1: think he had a really good time. He seemed relaxed
27:12
Speaker 1: during the trip, and when we said goodbye to each other,
27:15
Speaker 1: he gave me a kiss. I went on to tell
27:17
Speaker 1: them what we did together. I took him horseback riding,
27:20
Speaker 1: nowhere too far, just around the property. We went swimming
27:23
Speaker 1: in the pool, and of course I gave him plenty
27:25
Speaker 1: of massages. He had a massage at least a couple
27:27
Speaker 1: times a day, really seeming to enjoy his time there.
27:31
Speaker 1: It's what they wanted to hear, not the truth of
27:34
Speaker 1: how disgusting I had felt over the whole thing. But
27:37
Speaker 1: they already knew the truth anyways. It's what they had
27:40
Speaker 1: trained me for in the first place. Like two proud parents.
27:43
Speaker 1: They both looked over at me with such content. Good
27:46
Speaker 1: you really did well, Jeffrey complimented me. Turning around the
27:49
Speaker 1: boiling kettle. I finished Glaine's tea for her, and the
27:52
Speaker 1: conversation led on to other subjects. We all ventured up
27:56
Speaker 1: to Jeffrey's office and out came the infamous Duffel bag
27:59
Speaker 1: that when and wherever he did. I was given close
28:02
Speaker 1: to one thousand dollars for my time in Santa Fe,
28:04
Speaker 1: more than what I thought anybody in my young age
28:07
Speaker 1: could make for a couple of days work. It was
28:09
Speaker 1: fulfilling the obscene, vulgar needs of the so called privilege
28:13
Speaker 1: that earned me so much. I spent the next few
28:16
Speaker 1: days in New York, venturing out to do some shopping therapy.
28:19
Speaker 1: I love the eccentric parts of the city. Every street
28:22
Speaker 1: was different, but the same energetic vibe filled all of them,
28:26
Speaker 1: animated with all different walks of life. Hanging out at
28:29
Speaker 1: coffee shops reading the newspaper or a good book was
28:32
Speaker 1: a favorite pastime while in the Big Apple, being close
28:36
Speaker 1: enough to get back to Jeffrey for what he needed,
28:39
Speaker 1: but also far enough to get away from it all.
28:42
Speaker 1: Most of the days I slipped by without being missed,
28:45
Speaker 1: and I made my way back to Jeffrey's. Making one
28:47
Speaker 1: last pit stop, I walked into an old bookshop to
28:50
Speaker 1: browse at their assortment of old titles. I wasn't in
28:54
Speaker 1: any hurry, so I took my time reading the backs
28:57
Speaker 1: of interesting looking books. I bumped in to a girl
29:00
Speaker 1: looking down the same aisle. I was down. Sorry, I'm
29:03
Speaker 1: so clumsy. She was apologizing for my mistake. No, no,
29:06
Speaker 1: it was my fault. I wasn't looking at where I
29:09
Speaker 1: was going. I get so wrapped up with my nose
29:11
Speaker 1: in a book and trip over my own feet if
29:14
Speaker 1: I'm not careful enough. We were both giggling now, and
29:17
Speaker 1: I further introduced myself to her. Her name was Valerie
29:20
Speaker 1: or Vicky or something like that. Anyway, she was a
29:23
Speaker 1: student at school for hair dressing nearby, chatting away both
29:27
Speaker 1: young and similar interests in each other's choices of reading,
29:31
Speaker 1: we found it easy to speak to one another. She
29:33
Speaker 1: wasn't from around here, only being in the city for
29:36
Speaker 1: the last two months. Her parents hated her being here,
29:39
Speaker 1: but were also supportive in her big decision to move
29:42
Speaker 1: from the countryside in hopes of accomplishing her own dreams.
29:46
Speaker 1: Aside from not having her near them, they just wanted
29:49
Speaker 1: her to be happy and supported in her big decision
29:51
Speaker 1: to move to the city, helping her pay some of
29:54
Speaker 1: the way. She was a pretty girl with cherry red
29:57
Speaker 1: hair and soft white skin. Her long leg were emphasized
30:01
Speaker 1: by the short, flowery dress that complimented her hourglass figure.
30:05
Speaker 1: She would definitely fit the pro quo for going down
30:07
Speaker 1: in one of Jeffrey's Little Black Books. Only imagining the
30:11
Speaker 1: look on his face upon meeting her, I could already
30:14
Speaker 1: see his sly grin spread from ear to ear, knowing
30:17
Speaker 1: exactly what he would do with her, and the very
30:20
Speaker 1: thought of him tarnishing a sweet country girl such as
30:23
Speaker 1: her just couldn't be done. It was the beginning of
30:26
Speaker 1: a turning point in my life that started with realizing
30:30
Speaker 1: I had a choice at hand and the effect I
30:32
Speaker 1: could have on one person alone. I must be off,
30:36
Speaker 1: but it was really nice meeting you, bidding her a
30:39
Speaker 1: good night, and paying for my books. I turned around
30:42
Speaker 1: with one last glance over my shoulder and said good
30:44
Speaker 1: luck in the city. Leaving the bookshop was a small
30:47
Speaker 1: step in a growing abundance of larger strides to come.
30:51
Speaker 1: Turning the corner onto seventy second Street, I had an
30:54
Speaker 1: undeniable feeling in the pit of my stomach again. But
30:57
Speaker 1: this time it wasn't the familiar hurl of anxiety I
31:00
Speaker 1: was used to after I had done something wrong that
31:04
Speaker 1: I had regretted. It was a new feeling of pride
31:06
Speaker 1: and inner strength. I quite liked it a lot. I
31:09
Speaker 1: held my head high and smiled on the inside when
31:12
Speaker 1: Jeffrey asked me how my day was and what I
31:15
Speaker 1: got up to, not mentioning that I had let one
31:17
Speaker 1: girl slip on by The icy winter winds faded away,
31:21
Speaker 1: making way for the approaching sunny days that blossomed the
31:25
Speaker 1: colorful shades of spring. This was my favorite time of year.
31:29
Speaker 1: Making the most use of his island. We spent countless
31:32
Speaker 1: days of the increasingly hot days. There a constant array
31:36
Speaker 1: of visiting guests and plentiful young women to flock around
31:39
Speaker 1: keeping them entertained. Was a typical lazy afternoon on Little
31:43
Speaker 1: Saint Jeff's. We ate, drank and played under the blue
31:46
Speaker 1: blanket of cloud disguise. Too many, this lifestyle could seem
31:50
Speaker 1: idellic unless you were like me, the one on the
31:54
Speaker 1: other side of the fence where the grass wasn't so green.
31:57
Speaker 1: Fortunately for me and in some ways not, I was
32:00
Speaker 1: mostly expected to attend only Jeffrey's insurmountable sexual desires, whereas
32:05
Speaker 1: the other girls who came one day and went the
32:08
Speaker 1: next were a promise to a multitude of open doors
32:11
Speaker 1: just for their meager participation in sexual acts with random men,
32:14
Speaker 1: only to be disappointed when they realized there was nothing
32:17
Speaker 1: more than a single night out for these geriatric senior
32:20
Speaker 1: citizens who most likely do or would die from Alzheimer's,
32:24
Speaker 1: and they would sooner forget their entire experience, let alone
32:27
Speaker 1: their first name. Surrounded by those in our world who
32:31
Speaker 1: many looked up to, but not seeing them from where
32:34
Speaker 1: I was standing, I didn't have the highest of standards
32:36
Speaker 1: in humanity. Then I met al Gore, his lovely wife
32:40
Speaker 1: during one of those many weekends away in the Caribbean.
32:42
Speaker 1: I was blown away by the amount of attention Al
32:45
Speaker 1: doated on his wife. It was sweet to watch. They
32:48
Speaker 1: sat next to each other at the dinner table, gazing
32:50
Speaker 1: into one another's eyes, having an intimate conversation between them.
32:54
Speaker 1: Among the many guests that visited that night, in many
32:57
Speaker 1: of them young beautiful women, not once did Al Eighes
33:00
Speaker 1: stray elsewhere to them. They were the only ones there.
33:04
Speaker 1: He was up for presidential election that year, and he
33:07
Speaker 1: definitely had my vote. Anyone that could show that much
33:10
Speaker 1: devotion and passion towards his loved ones could have the
33:13
Speaker 1: same devotion towards running a country, or at least I
33:16
Speaker 1: thought so. He only left his wife's side to have
33:19
Speaker 1: a walk down the beach with the host of the weekend, Jeffrey.
33:22
Speaker 1: The weather was still warm in the evening when I
33:25
Speaker 1: decided to break away from the idle chat around the
33:27
Speaker 1: table and take a stroll too. Not wanting to interrupt
33:31
Speaker 1: the conversation between Jeffrey and Al, I walked in the
33:35
Speaker 1: opposite direction, plucking the washed up seashells embedded in the
33:38
Speaker 1: sand along the way. I enjoyed the serenity in the
33:41
Speaker 1: solitude of the island so many nooks and crannies to
33:44
Speaker 1: get lost in. I could imagine that I actually disappeared
33:48
Speaker 1: from the entire world for a moment. By the time
33:51
Speaker 1: that I came back to the main house, majority of
33:54
Speaker 1: the small crowd had been long gone retired to their cabanas.
33:58
Speaker 1: Even Jeffrey had gone off to bed. But trust party
34:01
Speaker 1: animal Glane was still up entertaining the remaining guests left
34:05
Speaker 1: at the table, telling her wild stories of people in
34:09
Speaker 1: places she is. Embarked on trying not to make eye
34:11
Speaker 1: contact as I walk past them on my way back
34:14
Speaker 1: to the cabana, carrying my seashells inside my curled up blouse,
34:18
Speaker 1: I wasn't up for any more pointless talking tonight. Emptying
34:22
Speaker 1: out my seashells into a plastic bag, I went over
34:25
Speaker 1: my new treasure one by one. I love collecting odd things,
34:28
Speaker 1: shells being one of my favorites. Glene and I shared
34:31
Speaker 1: that interest together. We would enjoy walkabouts around the island
34:35
Speaker 1: searching for lost pieces of the remnants that pirates had
34:38
Speaker 1: left behind centuries ago. It was mostly broken plates or
34:42
Speaker 1: smashed glass from bottles of ale, and even occasionally getting
34:45
Speaker 1: lucky and finding some old coins here and there. It
34:49
Speaker 1: wasn't easy, though, both loving a challenge. It was perfect
34:52
Speaker 1: for us, and during many scratches from the bushes we
34:55
Speaker 1: would be searching through and then soar arms from digging
34:58
Speaker 1: all day, but it was worth it. In end, after
35:01
Speaker 1: nearly two years of collecting items and saving them, we
35:04
Speaker 1: made Jeffrey a mosaic table out of the remaining pieces
35:08
Speaker 1: left from the era of the Pirate's day. Upon completing it,
35:11
Speaker 1: we were both astounded in our creation. It was such
35:14
Speaker 1: an item of rarity and an interesting piece of work.
35:18
Speaker 1: When we presented it to Jeffrey, he was even impressed,
35:20
Speaker 1: not only in our amazing finds, but what we did
35:23
Speaker 1: with them. The table became an important work of art
35:27
Speaker 1: that Jeffrey showed off inside the main house lounge room,
35:30
Speaker 1: sparking much intrigue and table conversation by many of the
35:33
Speaker 1: visiting guests to his island. All right, we're going to
35:36
Speaker 1: wrap up right here, and in the next episode we're
35:38
Speaker 1: going to pick up where we left off. All of
35:41
Speaker 1: the information that goes with this episode can be found
35:43
Speaker 1: in the description box.
