An Arrogant Politician harassed Grace Kelly — Dean Martin hung him by his ankles from a balcony
The copa room at the Grand Gala at the Hotel de Paris was not supposed to be a battlefield. It was supposed to be an evening of crystal chandeliers and vintage Bordeaux, of tuxedos pressed sharp enough to cut glass, of perfume that cost more than a working man's monthly salary. The terrace overlooked the shimmering lights of Monaco, and the Mediterranean stretched out beyond it like a dark promise. Everything was exactly as beautiful as it was supposed to be. Which made what happened at nine forty-seven in the evening all the more ugly.
Senator Clifford Hargrove III was a man who had never once in his sixty-one years been told that he couldn't have something he wanted. He was from old Virginia money, the kind that predates the Civil War and doesn't apologize for it. He had two Senate terms under his belt, a wife he ignored in Washington, and a smile that had convinced three generations of constituents that he was the voice of the common man. He was not the voice of the common man. He was the common man's nightmare wearing a tailored suit.
He'd arrived in Monaco with a delegation that existed mostly on paper. The real reason he was there was the same reason men like Hargrove always invented reasons to be places — because he could. Because somewhere along the line, someone had told him the world was his dining room, and he'd believed them completely.
Grace Kelly was holding court near the stone balustrade when Hargrove found her. She had become Princess Grace of Monaco the previous year, but even before the title, she'd carried herself with a quality that made rooms rearrange themselves around her. She wasn't performing elegance. She simply was it. She was laughing at something the Belgian ambassador had said, her hand resting lightly on the marble railing, the lights of the harbor catching the diamonds at her throat.
