[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?"

The Divorced Heiress Is Getting Married Again!

The restaurant Richard chose to celebrate his wife's birthday was one of the most exclusive places in the city. Normally, the waiting list to book a table, even for someone of his status, was several months long. It was simply that popular.

However, this time he was lucky—the owner of the restaurant was a big fan of Amelie's philanthropic work. Once Richard mentioned it was for her birthday dinner, the owner needed no further convincing and promptly reserved the best table for them.

When they were led to their table, an expensive bottle of champagne was already waiting for them in the bucket of ice. As they took their seats, the waiter explained that, in honor of the special occasion, tonight's dinner would feature dishes that had never been served at the restaurant before.

'I see Richard has put a lot of effort into this. And to think that it is all just for a show...'
