Early in his marriage to the "naive" hairdresser he confidently signed over his Villa to her to protect his assets from the consequences of his wrong doings - that was his understanding and she agreed to that wholeheartedly, as every woman believes what she says, at least for a short moment.

At the end of his life she got the Villa and he had to ask his Italian driver to get 100 Euros to go for a meal. Perhaps all men fool themselves in our naïve expectations of life and of the female gender. Only Alex seemed to be an exception to that rule - his protection: His pragmatic view of the world. Sometimes I wish, I would have a bit of that too.
