Jean-Marc reciprocates her feelings, and they soon find themselves caught up in an affair. Meg falls in love with the Count, and Jean-Marc sees Meg as his perfect woman. Although he could never marry her because of his high rank, he is unwilling to let Meg out of his life. He becomes determined to make her his mistress.
