Sitting in front of the mirror, a maid combed my hair.

"Your hair is so beautiful," she smiled.

Yeah but unfortunately I wasn't a blonde and my husband seemed to like blondes.

"Thank you" I smiled back.

"My Lady, do you want this dress or this one?" she said holding up two new dresses once she was done with my hair.

"None of them. Pick me a really beautiful dress." I ordered. I would make Lucian regret what he did. I would make him sleepless as he made me. I even wanted to make him cry because even though I didn't want to admit to myself, I cried a little last night.

Oh, how I needed Lydia and Ylva now.

The maid picked me a peach-colored dress which suited my hair and skin color perfectly.

I put some paint on my lips and some perfume, then I let my hair down as I looked at myself in the mirror.

Now he would want me, but I wouldn't give in so easily.

Lastly, I put my shoes on and strode out of the room. As I walked through the long hall, I started to lose my confidence. What if he didn't even want me? He could always have another woman. I would always be the one to lose.

These were the times I hated being a woman.

When I neared the dining room, my heart was pounding so hard in my chest. I knew Lucian was waiting there, and I was both angry and nervous, maybe more angry than nervous.

I slowly opened the door and walked inside. Lucian was sitting at the table and he stared right at me when I entered the room. I forgot to breathe for a moment when his eyes met mine, but I quickly reminded myself how angry and hurt I was. I tried to suppress my angry. It was important to control myself if I wanted to win this war.
