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 woman pressed her back against the closed door behind her and looked at Amelie from under her thin eyebrows, lowering her voice to almost a whisper, "Mrs. Ashford, can we talk just for a little bit? There is something that keeps bothering me and it's related to you..."
'To me?' Amelie's bewilderment continued to grow, 'How the hell am I bothering her when I am not even here most of the time?'
Samantha's words sounded absurd but Amelie got curious.
"Alright, what is it?"
