Loving Lucien

[This Book Is Complete] Starlet yearns for her husband to love her but the way he was coerced into matrimony makes him hate her instead. Their two and a half years of marriage has been a miserable one for Starlet. She has had everything she has ever wanted as the daughter of the richest man in their society but what she wants most, her husband’s heart has been closed off to her. Despite the hurt he has put her through Starlet feels she can make him love her. She refuses to see any other outcome. Although the idea of her husband looking elsewhere for female company has been so far, internet articles and images of him being with another woman spark something in Starlet. Up to this point she has been taking the punishment her husband has been giving her but she has had enough. She decides that she had to show him her strengths and make him love her. She forces him to write a post nuptial agreement (which only fills him with more bitterness toward her) and underhandedly gets rid of his mistress. Somewhere along the line her husband begins to warm up to her. She feels that they may have a good married life together. Their past however make Starlet question the affection he shows. If it is true or calculated. She struggles with the decision to keep him bound to her or if loving him truly would be to let him loose. She wonders if he would be happier without her and with a woman who claims to be his first real love.

Chapter 27

The heels on her boots clicked against the stone steps to her cousin's house. Starlet held a large box in her arms and her purse hung from the chain strap on her shoulder and came down to bounce a little below her hip. She got to the door and it opened before she could start wondering how to ring the doorbell.

"Need any help?" Richard asked.

He was dressed in sweats and an unzipped hoodie. He had nothing under the hoodie so Star could see his chest and his feet were bare.

"Sure," Star said and shoved the box into his hands, "Be careful with it, it's precious, fragile, and expensive cargo."

"What is it?" Richard asked as he turned and took the box inside. Starlet walked in and closed the door behind herself. The room was a large open-plan living room, dining area and kitchen.

Richard carefully placed the box onto his custom-made glass dining table and Star was on his heels.
