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.
Amelie sat in the small waiting area of Dr. Bavel's office, the ticking of the clock on the wall echoing her own rapid heartbeat.
The fluorescent lights above her buzzed softly, casting a sterile, white glow over the rows of neatly arranged magazines on the table in front of her. But she wasn't interested in any of them.
Her thoughts were tangled, swirling with the doctor's words from her previous diagnosis.
She still couldn't believe it. Two clinics. Two completely different results.
The first one, months ago, had told her she was infertile; but then, the second clinic told her she was perfectly healthy, and the confusion set in. How could there be such a discrepancy?
She knew she had to get to the bottom of it, but a part of her was afraid to face the truth. What if this was a mistake, and she was giving herself false hope? What if she really was infertile, and the second clinic had been wrong instead?
