Amelia: The Divorced Seer

“She's just a substitute.”“She’s nothing more than a high-end toy that Grandma found for me to replace you.”Damian’s words echoed endlessly in my mind. I had always known that Damian's mother despised me, but I never understood why. It turns out I looked so much like Vivian!Just then, a sleek black Bentley Mulsanne silently pulled up beside me. The window rolled down slowly, revealing a pair of familiar eyes.It was my brother, Axel.“Get in,” Axel said, his voice as cold as ever.He yanked the door open and pushed me inside.Three years ago, Axel had found me after my memory loss, but back then, I was deeply in love with Damian and refused to leave. I married him without a second thought, and now I felt ashamed standing in front of my brother, facing this dismal outcome.Axel started the engine, and the car smoothly pulled away from the street outside Hansen Manor.Axel started the engine, and the car smoothly pulled away from the street outside Hansen Manor.“Why didn’t you come

Early in the morning, I received a call from someone who sounded furious.“Are you not coming home yet? How long is this going to go on? Who the hell is that man? You’re betraying me, Amelia! Don’t forget, you’re still my wife. Even if I don’t love you, you have to promise me loyalty!”What kind of lunatic is screaming?I hung up the phone without hesitation.Less than a minute later, my phone rang again.I switched it to airplane mode.I slept soundly until noon, feeling refreshed.Before marrying Damian, I had been focused on my studies. After marrying him, I turned down the olive branch offered by my advisor and rejected the opportunity to pursue a PhD, choosing instead to be a full-time wife.Honestly, that’s even more exhausting than studying for a doctorate.In the three years at the Hansen estate, I hadn’t slept in once.If I had known that breaking free meant a fresh start, I should have divorced him sooner!After turning off airplane mode, I received a text from my brother: “

As I chatted with Axel, the auction began.“Ladies and gentlemen, our first item for bidding is the Voyage of Dreams Antique Globe.”“This antique globe once belonged to a world traveler who dedicated his life to exploring and studying the unknown. His wish was to auction this collection to raise funds to support young explorers and scientific projects.”“This 18th-century handcrafted globe showcases the understanding of the world at that time, adorned with gold thread and gemstones, making it a valuable historical and collectible piece. Bidding starts at $500. Now, let the bidding begin!”“Brother, bid on it! This explorer was from Veloria, and your current renewable energy project aims to collaborate with the Veloria government, right? Maybe this globe could serve as a gift.”Axel raised his paddle. “$1,000.”A smile of approval spread across Axel's face. “My little princess is finally showing some ambition. I’ll give you this renewable energy company. If you do well, you can come b

“If I sign this, does that mean you’ll marry Axel? Don’t dream. Farley family won’t choose a woman who’s been married before.”“I suggest you don’t dream either. You’re a cheating man. Unless you’re dead, I’ll never forgive you.”“I’ll say it again—I didn’t cheat on Vivian. I was just comforting her. She’s had a tough time abroad all these years. I once hurt her, and I owe her. You always used to understand that, but what’s changed? Are you going to keep causing trouble? I’ve apologized, and my patience has its limits.”“Save that for Vivian. Tomorrow, I’ll go to Hansen Manor to get the divorce agreement.”I couldn’t be bothered to waste any more breath and turned to walk away.As I strolled through the garden, I let out a deep breath, releasing the frustration building up inside me. Damian’s self-righteous attitude was suffocating.How could I have been so blind before?A waiter holding a tray hurried past me, and I quickly stepped a
