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 body shivered in disgust. The person who called his name in a pretend sweet voice was Samantha.
"Oh? Mr. Bennett, it really is you. What a surprise! Were you doing a little shopping here too?"
Liam didn't feel even the slightest urge to talk to her today. Or at any other time for that matter. Shifting his gray eyes away from her as quickly as he could, he simply walked past her, paying her no more attention.
Samantha, however, didn't mean to give up just yet.
"Mr. Bennett," she shouted again, "Wait a minute, please!"
Liam stopped and sighed, but didn't turn around. Accepting his unwelcoming behavior, Samantha ran to him and when she found herself standing in front of the man, Mr. Bennett arched his eyebrows, and asked coldly, "What is it?"
"Oh," Samantha looked him up and down and upon noticing that his hands were empty, asked, "What were you doing here?"
"That's hardly any of your business."
