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 29

The bagful of cookies was all gone. Starlet had eaten most of them alone Lucien had laughingly told her that she was going to fall sick but she had ignored them. They had long gone off the tar highway and they were now on a dust road that cut through farms and forests. Starlet and Lucien had the windows closed shut because the cloud of dust had nothing they wanted to inhale.

Starlet felt utterly bored and wanted to take a nap. She looked over at Lucien.

"Would it bother you if I took a nap?" she asked tentatively.

"You're tired, huh?" he said with a snicker.

"What's so funny?"

"Your body needs energy to digest all those cookies," Lucien said with a laugh.

"If you weren't driving," Star said, "I would smack you."

Lucien burst out laughing.

"Go ahead and sleep," Lucien said when he could talk.
