Although it was only a marriage of convenience, Amelie Ashford was the perfect wife in every aspect. She was intelligent, obedient, and well-respected. She was kind to everyone and devoted to her husband. And she was perfectly content to spend the rest of her life like that, even though she was constantly nagged about getting pregnant. That was until her husband entered their house with a mistress by his side and eventually demanded a divorce. "Very well," Amelie said calmly, "I will divorce you." Richard's eyes shone as he heard his wife utter these words. However, to his surprise, she was not done. "But don't be surprised when you get an invitation to my next wedding." To everyone's shock, Amelie indeed got married again, and to a younger and, as it turned out, richer man! And she made sure that her ex-husband realized what it meant to lose the support of a woman like her. _____ Important: FL is not a Mary Sue. Divorce happens in the second part of the novel so watch out for your blood pressure.
Samantha sat in her study in the Clark mansion, her fingers nervously tapping against the mahogany table.
Across from her, in the seat that seemed to have become his by right, Kyle Marshall sat in silence, observing her with a calm, measured gaze.
Rebeccah, one of Samantha's maids, moved around them carefully and quietly, setting a tray of tea and cups on the table. Samantha forced a smile as Rebeccah served them, thanking her with a voice that barely concealed her irritation.
"Thank you, you may leave now."
When the maid finally left, shutting the door softly behind her, Samantha let out a shaky breath, feeling a cold shiver run through her entire body.
Kyle arched a curious brow, picking up a cup of tea and taking a slow sip. "So, what is it, Sam? You sounded rather urgent on the phone. I thought you were supposed to be hosting the single-parent charity event all day today."
