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.
Austin scratched his chin and took a moment to mull over his boss' words.
"Hmm... Miss Hayden did mention that Mrs. Ashford was in a bad condition but I could have never assumed it was actually this serious. So what now? Are you really going to accept her request to marry her?"
"Who is marrying whom?"
Two men instantly shifted their eyes to the door upon hearing someone else's voice inside Liam's office. Oscar Bennett, his corgi peacefully sleeping in his arms, marched inside and took a seat on the couch in the middle of the room, stretching his legs over the glass coffee table.
"Have you finally come to your senses and picked the future Mrs. Liam Bennett?"
The wide grin found its way back to Liam's lips.
"I found her, Grandpa!" He flopped next to Oscar and even when Captain Pantaloons offered him a side eye because his loud voice woke him up, Liam simply ignored the dog and added, "I am going to marry Amelie Ashford!"
