[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.

Amelie signed yet another document and placed it on top of the thin pile she needed to hand over to her assistant at the end of the day. It seemed she was even busier now that the benefit was over than she had been while preparing for it.

Her old mobile phone buzzed with a message notification, prompting Amelie to check it right away.

"Good afternoon, Miss Ashford. Would you like to go for a walk with me and Captain Pantaloons in the hotel's garden?"

Amelie couldn't help but smile. She checked the time on her wristwatch and let out a sigh. She had been so busy with all the board paperwork that she even had to work during the weekends. Going for a short walk like this wasn't such a bad idea to get some exercise and clear her head.

"Yes, let's meet there in ten minutes," was her quick response.
