[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!

Liam rolled over on his bed yet another time and let out a loud, dramatic sigh. He had been in the state ever seen he returned from his walk with Mrs. Ashford last night and evident from the dark circles under his eyes, he hadn't slept since.

When Austin Hall came to do some work with him in his suite, Liam's sole activity was just that –– rolling over his messy bed and sighing in a tragic manner.

Already used to his childish behavior, Austin tried to work regardless, however, after yet another dramatic sigh, his patience finally vanished. With one annoyed movement, he threw the pen on the table and shot his boss a burning glare, "Mr. Bennett, what is wrong with you today? Are you a Renaissance lady dumped by her lover or something? What's with all this dramatic distress?"

Finally, Liam stopped his rolling and groaned into the pillow, half of his words drowning in it as he answered, "I think I might have accidentally ruined my relationship with Miss Ashford."
