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.
"I don't know what to do anymore," Einar's low voice sounded almost desperate, "she shut me off so radically that it almost feels like that night was just something I have imagined."
"Are you absolutely sure she shared your enjoyment?" Amelie's voice reached to Angelina through the half-closed door and the latter arched her brows in bewilderment.
"Positive!" Einar confirmed. "We had such an amazing time at the bar; we talked for hours and shared so many laughs! I don't remember the last time I enjoyed someone's company so much!"
Angelina pressed her back against the wall next to the door, letting out a quiet sigh.
Truthfully––and quite strangely so––she remembered that night perfectly well. Einar was right: they had an amazing time gossiping at the bar for hours and... an even more amazing time when they took things to the privacy of Einar's suite.
She felt the same. She could not recall the last time she enjoyed a man's company so much.
