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.
Liam's hands trembled as he stared at the door to his office, waiting for it to be opened. Once his secretary told him that Amelie wished to see him, he canceled all his plans immediately but the more he waited for her to come, the more his anxiety took over.
'She is going to scold me, I'm sure of it,' he tried to join his hands together but the uncontrollable trembling prevented him from succeeding. 'I know her friends finally visited her last night so she is definitely going to say something about that––'
He couldn't even finish that thought when the doors swung open and Amelie marched in, wearing a stern and even somewhat menacing expression on her otherwise beautiful face.
"Lily!" Liam jumped from his seat and rushed to greet her, nearly stumbling over his own feet but his wife raised her hand in front of her which made him stop at once. It was scary.
