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 50

When Starlet woke up the next morning, she was alone. The curtains were not drawn but sunlight was coming in through a crack and landing across her shoulders. She blinked drowsily and felt the grittiness of her eyes. She had a slight headache. She pulled the blankets around her as she tried to find motivation to get up.

Memories of the previous night flooded her head. The pain in her heart was instant. She drew her legs to her chest so that she was on her side in the fetal position. She wanted to lay there forever. She did not want to move.

Her phone lit up and vibrated and she sighed in annoyance. She reached a hand out of the blanket and picked it up. She put her finger on the fingerprint pad and the screen lit up unlocked. She looked at the notifications and noticed she had two messages. One was from her parent confirming the time she would be picking up Aurora. The other one was from Lucien. She clicked on it after a moment of hesitation.
