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 morning sun cast a warm glow over the vast Bennett estate and Amelie turned her face toward it for a moment, inhaling the refreshing scent of rain that had just stopped.
The gentle breeze tugged at her hair, lifting a few loose strands as she returned to reviewing the spreadsheets on her laptop. Just like always, the mornings in the mansion were quiet and serene but today, her mind could not find either peace or focus.
Liam had dropped a bombshell on her earlier that morning. He had invited Einar Ingvarsson to stay with them while he was in the country. The news had caught her completely off guard.
Einar, staying in their home? The very idea seemed absurd. She had immediately asked Liam why Einar couldn't just stay at the Emerald Hotel like any other visiting executive. After all, considering the tense confrontation between Liam and Einar in her office just months ago, it seemed like a clear recipe for disaster.
