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 49

Lucien stared at his wife unable to comprehend what she had just said to her. He thought she loved him. He thought he had her whole heart and undying devotion and nothing could change that. Something had. What had?

He had always known that it would take failing her greatly to make her want out. He had thought they had been together forever. What was going on?

He knew that she was hurt but how could that stop her from loving him? Had he underestimated how badly hiding things from her could hurt her?

No, he thought, she loved him too much to actually divorce him. This was a game. Yes. This made more sense. She didn't really want to leave him. She was playing mind games with him.

"Is this a game?" he asked her.

He was sure it was but he wanted to make sure. There was no need for games they could talk like adults. He was going to lead this conversation and hope she took his lead.

"No," Star said flatly.
