[JUNE 2024 CUPID'S QUILL SILVER WINNER]

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."

He longed for her to display her true emotions because that would confirm to him that she harbored no lingering feelings for the man who clearly did not deserve her.

"Jealousy doesn't suit you, Amelie. Is your ego so fragile that you get worked up over this so easily?"

Richard's low voice reached Liam's ears, sending a chill down his spine. He clenched his fists, his knuckles whitening, and hissed under his breath, ready to intervene, "What the hell did he just say?"
