Rachel loved three things in life: shopping, travel and sex. When she married the wealthy Frank, she had hopes that he would bankroll the lavish lifestyle she desired. At first she got her wish, but Frank soon began to resent his wife's endless heavy spending. Tensions increased between the couple until they were often at each other's throats. It was during this period that they got a call from a man named Sonny. He had just found out that he and Frank were brothers - separated when young. Frank was very excited by the news. He asked Sonny to come see him, and ordered Rachel to be a good hostess and not create a scene. Rachel smiled at the irony of his words. Her mind flashed back to the excellent entertainment she had given previous guests without her husband's knowing.
