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.
"Oh my God!"
As Amelie stepped into the living room, she nearly dropped her jaw to the floor, her eyes big and round from shock. When Mary told her there was an unexpected guest, all kinds of anxious thoughts started swarming inside her head; after all, when someone was to visit one's house late at night and without an invitation, that rarely meant good news.
Indeed, tonight's visitors didn't mean good news. They meant amazing news.
"What are you guys doing here?!"
Amelie didn't know whom to look at––all three of her best friends were standing in the living room, smiling and looking at her with teary eyes. Emily, Lauren, and, most importantly, Elizabeth; they seemed like a mirage in a desert but at the same time, they were incredibly real.
They were there.
