Leopold has been super busy all morning in and out of meetings with his father and other board members. Apparently there was some problem with a car shipment and they have to deal with it and some people are getting fired. Since he doesn’t really needs me for anything while he attends to the problem, I have a little free time, which I use it to go through the numerous emails Mary Alice has sent me with ideas for the wedding (needless to say, all of these ideas have been previously approved by Constance Cassel, of course).

Our kiss gets more and more intense. My heart is pounding in my chest, the excitement runs through my veins along with all the alcohol I have drank. I am consumed by desire, the fact that Alex Ricci is a dangerous man and a mobsters seems so insignificant next to my need of being loved and wanted by a man. I don’t care about the consequences I only care about the now. The drinks helped me get rid of all of my inhibitions and objections, everything that stoped me before from giving myself to Alex now seems irrelevant. Part of me is aware that I’m doing this out of spite because Leopold spent the night with that super model, but I suppress the thought in my head. Leopold is the last person I want to think about right now.
