A Dominatrix/Writer Takes Readers Into A Dungeon
Dad, I'm your daughter, Desiree. No, no, no, no. It's Desiree. I've always been Desiree. Wow. Clearly, we have a lot of catching up to do. May I come in? Yes, come on in.

So it's time to declutter. We can start by replacing that eyesore on the wall.

It's hideous. Not to mention you can't have a last supper of soul without Beyonce. It's Jesus, of course.

Beyoncé is roaming the Earth? She is not a T-Rex. She is an icon. She is a legend, and she is forever the moment.

I was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and anxiety. During these months, I experienced panic attacks, suicidal thoughts, insomnia and nightmares.
Guru: Don't Cross Kat

I admit that I acted in a wrong, radical and immature way. So to those I hurt in some way, I'm so sorry.
Guru: Don't Cross Kat

And the more I repeated these false stories, the more I believed them, as if I were brainwashing myself.

When I heard my mother's voice for the first time after so long, my shoulders softened. I was relieved.
Guru: Don't Cross Kat

I thought Kat would never do that to me. She could never be so cruel.
Guru: Don't Cross Kat

My chest burned with anger. How could I let all this happen to me?
Guru: Don't Cross Kat

She kept saying things like she was the incarnation of Jesus Christ, that she was superior to all other humans, and that she was above the law and would never be arrested.
Guru: Don't Cross Kat
Closing In | 5
I felt like a fugitive, jumping from town to town so we wouldn't be recognized. It was a horror show. At one point, I asked myself, why am I still here?
Guru: Don't Cross Kat
Closing In | 5
Kat told me exactly what to say to the police. And she threatened me, telling me I had to stick to the script.
Guru: Don't Cross Kat
Closing In | 5
She destroyed everything she saw in front of her. She kicked and threw things at me. She said it was my fault that her marriage failed and that the cat ran away. That it was all because of me.
Guru: Don't Cross Kat
Closing In | 5
I didn't want to go, but I had no choice. I didn't want to confront the authorities or Cat. And even though I had a bad feeling, I decided to do what Cat said.
Guru: Don't Cross Kat
Closing In | 5
I was trying to imagine what could happen. I felt tears running down my cheeks, but I wiped them quickly before one of the officers saw me crying.

At that moment, I thought, I'm sure they're going to hate me. I'm going through this humiliation for nothing.
Guru: Don't Cross Kat

And Kat would say, for God's sake, don't let Zach find out.
Guru: Don't Cross Kat

She wouldn't let him work. She would tell him that he had to stay in the house with her all day. I mean, can you imagine a man not working and in your house all day? God forbid.
Guru: Don't Cross Kat

I drove for her. I cooked for her, for the guests and clients at her house. I walked dogs. I did Uber work. I cleaned. Kat is very messy. She had dirty panties under the bed. This is what the house was like.
Guru: Don't Cross Kat

And then, when I started asking Kat about the money, she said, I'm going to buy this house, blah, blah, blah, so the work you have done will stay in the house. I said, what? I didn't come here to buy a house.
Guru: Don't Cross Kat

Then I told her, look, Kat, we have a few options. You either pay me what you owe me, or I'm going out to get a part-time job so I can get my life sorted and leave your house. Then I'll take you to court because you know what you're doing is illegal.
Guru: Don't Cross Kat
Inside Kat's House | 4
She was like, if you're going to get a part-time job, you'll have to bring all the money you make there and give it to me. I said, no, I'm not doing that. Then she said, okay, no deal then. Our relationship ended right there.
Guru: Don't Cross Kat

It was a new house and there was absolutely nothing in there. Her husband brought this small couch and said, you sleep here.
Guru: Don't Cross Kat
Inside Kat's House | 4
She was like, fine, Desiree will leave the money for you.
Guru: Don't Cross Kat

I don't know, I think it was $100. So I took my backpack, my computer, three pairs of clothes, two pairs of shoes, and that was it.
Guru: Don't Cross Kat

I don't believe she has a mental problem in the sense that she doesn't know what she's doing. But I believe there's probably some narcissism, psychopathy, something like that. In Kat's own world, she's a super cute little fairy. I have no pity for her. None at all.
Guru: Don't Cross Kat

So I put on my bikini. I was feeling good. And I said, man, I can't even believe I'm here now.
Guru: Don't Cross Kat

She started yelling at me, saying, you are being immature. I'm so disappointed. This is not what I expected from someone strong like you. If you want to give up, I understand. But you're being stupid and selfish.
Guru: Don't Cross Kat

Kat told me, there's a girl who's been my client for many years. She's so beautiful. She's wonderful. She used all these positive adjectives to describe her.
Guru: Don't Cross Kat

I just froze and my breathing became heavy. Then without giving it much thought, I just said, I'll charge you $1,000.
Guru: Don't Cross Kat

Kat was like, Flair, you only talk to me, okay? And Desiree only talks to me. Flair doesn't talk to Desiree.
Guru: Don't Cross Kat

But I ignored it. and I justify her actions as divine will.
Guru: Don't Cross Kat

I felt my blood pressure drop as soon as she finished speaking. I started to feel dizzy and had to sit down.
Guru: Don't Cross Kat

I thought about running away, but I had nowhere to go. Plus, if she found out, she could try to take revenge or report me to the authorities, because she had evidence to incriminate me.
Guru: Don't Cross Kat

Our meeting was exactly how I imagined it. She hugged me and said, you're even more beautiful in person. I'm so happy to finally meet you.
Guru: Don't Cross Kat

I was still insecure, so I decided that I was going to focus on my mission to help Kat and then go back home.
Guru: Don't Cross Kat

We went out to dinner and to watch Zach's father, who had a band. I think they play country rock. I don't know what genre it is, but we'd go do things like that.

She said, I'm going to bring clients from Brazil. I just received $7,000. And I was like, whoa, that's so much money, especially for me. I've never had access to so much money in my life.
Guru: Don't Cross Kat
Inside Kat's House | 4
I was just thinking to myself, man, this is a chance for me to get out of a tough spot.
Guru: Don't Cross Kat

Kat said, just do what I tell you, okay? Do what I say.
Guru: Don't Cross Kat

I said, like, I know that food can cure, so I can cook some recipes that cure. And I also know how to make healing drinks. And if you want, we can sit and meditate together. I can teach you some yoga, too.
Guru: Don't Cross Kat

And the client said, I'm not happy. I am seeing Kat spending all the money I gave her on furniture, and there's no need to do that.
Guru: Don't Cross Kat
Inside Kat's House | 4
I told the client, look, I am doing what I can here. If you're not satisfied, then you have to talk to Kat.
Guru: Don't Cross Kat

It was crazy. It was loud. Kat hit the door at some point. Then Kat calls me over to say that she kicked this client out because she was too much work. She was crying a lot. That the client wanted to get back with her ex-boyfriend, but the guy didn't want to. Then Kat said she wanted this client to dye her hair a certain color and live in the house with us. But the client said no.
Guru: Don't Cross Kat
Inside Kat's House | 4
It was just like, you've been kicked out even though you paid to be welcomed here. You're on the streets now. Go get a taxi and find a motel. It was literally like that.
Guru: Don't Cross Kat

Cat told me, bring very hot water, boiling, and put it in the bathtub. And then throw a gallon of cow's milk, almond milk, herbs, salt, and essential oils. Then once everything is in there, you're going to add coffee grounds. And then she would put people in there. God knows what she told these people.

I was about to be evicted because I didn't have money for rent. I was at my limit on my last paycheck.
Guru: Don't Cross Kat

If I did this, I would disappoint the people I loved most. I would lose career opportunities and then people wouldn't take me seriously.

She said, I want you to drive Desiree to a strip club. I didn't know Desiree that well, so I just asked Kat. Hey, what is she going to do there? And Kat said, Desiree is going to meet her rich husband. I said, okay.
