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 24

Starlet and Lucien got out of his car and their eyes met over the hood. Star's eyes were flat and carefully devoid of expression like she was making sure he was there. Lucien's eyes were concerned and searching, his wife did not register his expression. Star turned her eyes from him and faced her approaching cousin.

"Lettie!" Charlotte was all arms when she joined her sister. "You have to help me!" she cried as she embraced her cousin.

"What is it, Lottie?" Starlet asked as she patted her cousin on the back comfortingly.

"It's a conspiracy, I'm only twenty-four! Your mother has taken out the dating book out again!"

Starlet grinned at her cousin comfortingly she now understood why her mother was holding this family gathering.

"How's Richard fairing?" Star asked with a smile.

"He's hiding behind the 'boys mature slower' nonsense!" Charlotte whined.

"It's that bad?" Star asked with a grin.
