Tessira's life was upside down, but she kept going, imagining the reward Kat had promised her for them to own a business together. And soon, Desiree's escort work started bringing in some serious money. Through the escort site, Desiree had met rich and powerful clients. Bankers, Hollywood producers, athletes, doctors.

Tessira's life was upside down, but she kept going, imagining the reward Kat had promised her for them to own a business together. And soon, Desiree's escort work started bringing in some serious money. Through the escort site, Desiree had met rich and powerful clients. Bankers, Hollywood producers, athletes, doctors.

Her goal, as she wrote in her book, was to rip every penny out of their wallets. By the end of July, less than a couple months after she started seeing clients, Desiree said she had made more than $150,000. By October, a million. And just to note, we haven't been able to verify how much money Desiree really made.

But we do know that Kat was spending cash lavishly on trips with Zach to New York and Las Vegas, on five-star hotels, designer clothes, and her Instagram lifestyle. But Kat still wanted more. Desiree writes in her book that Kat came up with a new plan for her. One of her clients turned out to be a very wealthy man, so Kat told Desiree to stop using contraception.

Desiree went to the doctor and she had her IUD removed. It left her in a lot of pain. The doctor told her to avoid sex for a while, but Kat insisted that Desiree keep sleeping with her clients. And the pain got worse. Eventually, Desiree had to go to the hospital. And the doctors there told her she had an infection.

Even during all of this, Desiree says Kat only let her take a break from escort work for two days. There would be no break from stripping. There was a constant battle inside Desiree's head. She was so angry. She resented Kat.

She still truly believed that higher powers had put Kat in her path, that Kat was leading her to a more prosperous life. One afternoon, Desiree was getting out of the shower during a session with a client. She went to check her phone and saw that she had several missed calls from Kat. When she called her back, Kat broke the news to her. Desiree's profile on the escort site had been discovered.

Desiree's secret was all over Instagram. Her biggest fear had come true. And Desiree wasn't the only one who had been exposed. Leticia's escort profile had also been found. Not by one or two people, but by thousands. By people who were following the search for the missing women. And Kat tried to reassure her, but Desiree wasn't convinced. She felt trapped.

After the escort sites made headline news in Brazil, the searching for Desiree Instagram page went viral. Internet sleuths tracked down Kat's address. People in Brazil and in the U.S. started calling the police in Texas. Even complete strangers who didn't know the women at all.
