[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.

So when my husband decided to divorce me, why did Liam fall in love with me instead?"

The Divorced Heiress Is Getting Married Again!

Amelie pierced a slice of cherry tomato with her fork and placed it between her teeth while Richard was busy cutting his steak.

Tonight they met again to have their usual shared dinner as there were quite a lot of important things to discuss regarding their company. The last dinner they had together was to celebrate Amelie's birthday and since then, neither of them really had time to meet and talk properly, especially since they were in charge of different aspects of the business.

Once all the business-related matters were finally discussed, Amelie moved on to the more personal topics.

"The orphan girl I have been supporting was accepted to the ballet school in France. I have a month to organize everything; the scholarship withdrawal will be forwarded to one of my accounts so I will need your signature once everything is ready."

Richard only nodded and sipped a bit of red wine from his glass.
