The Divorced Heiress Is Getting Married Again!
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 Kiss
The evening sun cast long shadows across the room as Amelie sat by the window, her hands clutching a closed book. It had been a while since she felt so calm and at peace and yet, her mind was still too restless as she was trying to get used to her new, rather idle lifestyle.
She looked at the time and sighed, feeling the weight of isolation settle on her shoulders.
'It's nice to have more time off to rest and recharge but I am beginning to get really bored. I wish I could talk to Lizzy; she suddenly stopped answering my texts and disappeared. I hope everything is fine.'
A soft knock on the door broke her reverie. It was too late for a housekeeping staff to trouble her so it could only be someone from the family.
"Come in." She turned to see Liam standing in the doorway and let out a strangely loud breath of relief which Liam politely ignored.
