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 28

Starlet slowly opened her eyes and she saw her husband next to her on the bed. His face was facing her and he was fast asleep his lips slightly parted. They had landed in Harare the previous night and had been picked up by their guide who had arranged for them to sleep in a private home. They had washed off and went straight to bed. Twenty hours of a flight was taking its toll on their bodies.

Star marvelled at her husband's face. He looked so innocent. So free of the woes of life. And he was so handsome. She had a chance to examine him without shame. His beautiful lips, proud nose, dark eyebrows and eyes that had the most beautiful dark lashes she'd ever seen on a man. She loved how his dishevelled hark hair was falling against his face. He needed a haircut. She wanted to stare at him longer but she needed to go to the bathroom. She leaned in and lightly kissed his cheek and then gently got out of bed.
