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.
The court building was unusually quiet.
Although the divorce between Richard Clark and Amelie Ashford was supposed to be held in secret, a couple of nosy reporters still managed to find out both the date and the time of the process, and were now waiting outside for it to be finally over.
A short, middle-aged guard escorted Amelie to the room where her meeting was about to begin, and as she entered, she saw that everyone was already waiting for her.
'I can't believe he had the audacity to bring that woman here with him,' Amelie fumed internally when she noticed Samantha sitting right beside Richard.
'I wonder if she insisted on coming with him because she wanted to gloat... Because if he brought her here today for "moral support" then he is even more pathetic than I could have ever imagined.'
Taking a seat across the table from the couple, Amelie took another look at Samantha.
