According to the book, Monroe fully believed the President was going to leave his wife and marry her, reportedly telling her friend Jeanne Carmen "Can't you just see me as First Lady?"
The book goes on to quote the late actor Pater Lawford, who married JFK's sister Patricia in 1954, as saying Monroe called Jackie to confess to the affair and to tell her that her husband had already agreed to leave his family and set up home with the actress.
