[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."

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.

"I was raised to be the perfect upper-class wife, groomed to excel and remain vigilant. All I knew was how to fake a smile, read, and work hard to ensure nobody dared to look down on my family. But in the end, that was exactly what made me boring and dull. 
So when my husband decided to divorce me, why did Liam fall in love with me instead?"

Important: FL is not a Mary Sue. Divorce happens in the second part of the novel so watch out for your blood pressure.

The Divorced Heiress Is Getting Married Again!

'What a strange man he is...' Amelie couldn't move her eyes away from the spot where Einar's body got lost in the garden. The intense scent of his cigarette still lingered around her like a separate entity while her mind refused to let go of the words he said to her.

'What did he mean by that?'

As she started walking back towards the hotel, Amelie noticed one of her family cars pull up at the corner of the street. Samantha, dressed in yet another new expensive dress, stepped out of the car and walked towards the restaurant's main entrance.

'At least she had the decency of not interrupting the luncheon before coming to see Richard today. I guess even he couldn't simply overlook the last night's events and had a talk with her as well.'

Suddenly, she heard someone else call Samantha's name.

"Sam? It really is you! For a moment, I thought my eyes were deceiving me."
