[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!

The day of Amelie's birthday approached so fast, that she didn't even realize that it was already the time to turn over yet another calendar page of her life.

The gift deliveries began early in the morning and since most of the people were still under the impression that Amelie still lived in the Clark mansion, she had to spend the night before her birthday there so that she could personally receive the presents delivered by the personal assistants of those who were close with her and her family.

'The last thing I need right now is to create even more gossip around myself.' That was the only thought that helped her go through the ordeal of staying in that house.
