The Divorced Heiress Is Getting Married Again!
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.
Last Chance
Vanessa sat in her room, hugging her knees at her chest, staring blankly at the wall in front of her.
Her skin was pale and dry, her eyes rimmed with dark circles from several anxious, sleepless nights she had spent agonizing over her grave mistake.
The woman had confined herself to the Bennett mansion for quite some time now, only leaving her room late at night when everyone else was asleep. It was as though she were a ghost haunting the hallways, avoiding the judgmental gazes of the household staff.
Vanessa even refused to talk to Rachel, her assistant, leaving her share of work in her capable hands.
Her mind was a storm of conflicting emotions about what she had done to Liam that cursed night.
She had crossed a line, and she knew it. But the silence that followed was even more unnerving; it was mere torture. No one had tried to confront her, no one had asked questions. The lack of confrontation only heightened her anxiety and fright.
