[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.

She accepted the drink with her pale, trembling hands and gulped it down in one swift motion. After a moment's hesitation, she nodded reluctantly.

"I didn't ask anything earlier because I wanted to give you some time to come to me first. But after seeing you like this today, I feel I need to know all the details. Will you finally tell me who you were running away from?"

Samantha placed the empty glass on the coffee table and closed her eyes, trying to collect her thoughts. She still hadn't decided how much of the truth she wanted to reveal, and she was in no state to carefully consider her response.

But she couldn't hesitate anymore either.
