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."

His eyes moved over the interior of his wife's office at the Emerald Hotel and only one thought lingered in his mind –– she did care for this place. More than for anything else.

'This room looks drastically different from what she has at JFC. Is this her attempt to express herself then? It's strange. I don't feel comfortable here at all.'

Once Amelie's secretary finally left the room, Richard took the cup of steaming black coffee in his hand and asked in a matter-of-fact voice, "Are you not going to come back to the mansion at all?" It's your home too, you know.
