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 40

Star and Lucien sat at a table in the private room of one of Randy's restaurants. The room had a four-seat table in the centre. There were two chairs on each side of the length and Star sat next to her husband. They held hands. They both needed the comfort even if they did not acknowledge it.

Star was nervous because since the party she was going to meet the one other woman who'd had a place in her husband's heart. She looked over at her husband and her heart ached. He looked a little nervous. He usually had a better hold over his feelings than this. The fact that his nerves were showing told her how much the past was not resolved. It was a dark cloud that she had not seen until it was over her. She usually had better foresight than this but she had been enjoying the warmth of his affection and their little family to notice anything trying to ruin that. Not until it loomed over her.
