[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!

"Brittany was very excited about this opportunity, Mrs. Ashfrod. You have no idea how much it means to her."

Mrs. Finch, the owner of the orphanage clasped her hands together in sheer excitement as she spoke those words.

Amelie was already aware of that. When she came to visit the orphanage, the first thing she did was meet Brittany and talk to her about her future in the ballet school. Yes, the girl was excited but it was still a pretty big change which Amelie didn't want to simply overlook because she was about to leave.

"I hope you will not stop supporting her, Mrs. Finch. This is quite a change in a young girl's life and she seemed to be a pretty sensitive child. The transition will be hard, especially since she doesn't speak the language, so I hope you will at least stay in contact with her until she is well-adjusted."
