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 froze, his eyes frantically scanning Amelie and Einar. The sight of them standing so close, almost as if they were hugging, refused to register in his mind. At the same time, something infuriating ignited deep inside his heart.
Finally, he noticed Einar's hands wrapped around Amelie's thin wrists as if holding her captive. Now, the source of his growing irritation became crystal clear.
Puffing out his chest, Liam marched up to them and forcefully removed Einar's hands from Amelie's wrists, pushing him away so hard that Mr. Ingvarsson almost lost his balance.
"What the hell are you doing to her?!" Liam's voice echoed with anger, his narrowed gray eyes sparking with malice.
Einar straightened his suit and stepped back toward Mr. Bennett, their postures resembling two boxers ready to fight. He looked Liam in the eyes and answered through gritted teeth, "It's none of your business what I was doing, Mr. Bennett."
