No More SecretsOtto Koehler, an immigrant from Berlin, Germany, had just settled down in St. Louis, Missouri and was eager to see what he could achieve in America.

Otto who was in the mid-50s took Emma, the nurse to huge parties and started to admit his relationship with his bedridden wife’s nurse publicly. Although this worried the young nurse about her reputation, she never revealed her views in front of Otto. At this time, Emma felt the need of sharing the thoughts with someone and that’s where another girl walked in the scene.

A Call For Help
Emma Dumpke was her name, also known as Emmi, and she was a beautiful German woman in her twenties.

Now that Emmi was officially Otto’s mistress her distress made it hard for her to breathe, she called a friend of hers. Yes, this was how the third Emma entered their lives. Back in Germany, Emma Hedda Burgemeister and Emmi were coworkers. Talking to made Emmi realize how badly she needed someone to listen to her. So, Emmi came up with a bright idea.

An Offer To Join

Emma Hedda Burgemeister who used to go by her middle name, Hedda was offered to join Emmi in America. Hedda was in her 30s and older than Emmi. Therefore, she had much more work experience. Otto hired her as a second nurse for his wife. And she too started to live in the Koehler mansion.

Middle Age CharmSoon after Emmi became Otto’s mistress, she invited her very close friend to live with her in San Antonio.

Just like Emmi, Hedda too was described as a beauty by the world. For Otto, two sounded better than one and Hedda didn’t seem to have any issue with his intentions. As compared to Emmi, Hedda’s income was much lesser and it was clear that Emmi was Otto’s favorite. Otto was growing possessive about the two women in his life.

A Cottage
Without taking a second to think, Otto offered to buy Emmi and Hedda their very own quaint little cottage right in town.

Otto purchased a brand new cottage for the two ladies right in the heart of the city. He took them out for shopping and dinners. At times, he took them to the casino to test his luck. Spending money on them made the old man happy. They were not working as nurses anymore but were still getting paid.

Pocket Money

Otto gave Emmi $125 as pocket money while Hedda received a sum of $50 each month. As he wasn’t looking after his ill wife anymore, all his money was being spent on the other two Emmas in his life. Unfortunately, what looked like a happy lustful story till now was going to convert into a conspiracy.
