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.
Liam stood in the middle of the penthouse suite and slowly gazed over every single thing carefully arranged according to Amelie's delicate vision.

This hotel room had been Liam's temporary home for more than a month and strangely enough, it was the only place he felt comfortable at in many years. And he knew that it was all thanks to Amelie.
The first time he met her was at the alumni event at the university one year ago.
Liam was on his way to see one of his professors –– or rather beg him to look over his lengthy absence at his lectures and allow him to take the final exam anyway –– when he noticed him talking to a woman he had never seen before.
