Crystal became Hugh Hefner’s third wife in December 2012. Slowly, she realized how big the power difference was in the relationship.
– That world seemed like a world of success and fantasy, but everyone liked the country with the octogenarian. That’s the price. Everything has a price, Crystal Hefner formulates.

– When I’m dead, please say only good things about me, Hugh Hefner asked.
