His Ex-wife Is An Heiress (Amara and Tobias)

Chapter 0017



Life without Tobias was almost unimaginable to Amara. In the past, when Giselle threatened to make Tobias divorce her, she would always cower because of the threat, one time even going as far as wiping Giselle's foot and begging her, all because she fear a life without Tobias. But now that she and Tobias were no longer husband and wife, now that their marriage was truly and legally terminated, she realized that life without Tobias was in fact not that bad.

Instead, it was great, better than she had expected. There was no one to degrade or disgrace her and she didn't need to work all day, dolling herself up to look pretty in hopes of grabbing the attention of a husband who would barely even look her way when he returned home.

Although, Life without Tobias was strange at first, but a month into said life, she got used to it. She became accustomed to living without him, without anyone there to bother her or criticize her or control her. She had her own free will and could finally take the first step towards bettering her life without being judged.

And that was exactly what she did. A few days after the divorce was finalized, Amara fully began preparing to take over the position of branch manager.

With the help of Lorenzo, she studied the company's ways for an entire month, waiting for the right time to make her appearance out of the shadows and that opportunity so happened to present itself sooner rather than later.

"A party at Hilton Metropole?" Amara had asked as she examined the luxurious looking invites.

Lorenzo had nodded. "It's your opportunity to socialize, gain footing in the business world before taking over, you know, just to let people get used to the idea of you." He suggested and Amara bought into the idea.

Currently, 2 hours until said party, she stood in front of her mirror, examining the gown she had chosen for the event. It was a long sleeved, form fitting black dress with a slit running down the left side.

The neckline wasn't too low and showed off her delicate shoulders while the sleeves made the outfit elegant. She had a pair of black high heeled shoes that went along perfectly with her outfit and her hair had been done in an elegant bun with a few strands hanging loose. To make sure her makeup wasn't too over the top, she had opted to go with a natural look. She applied a little bit of eyeliner and a light pink lipstick.

All in all, she looked like the perfect version of a female CEO.

The sound of two gentle knocks on her door had her looking away from her reflection.

"Lorenzo is here." Melanie stated and moved aside, allowing said male to make his appearance.

"Hey," He greeted. "You ready?"

Amara smiled, picking up her bag and phone. "Yep," She replied and turned to Melanie. "I might be home late, Mel, don't wait up for me."

"Sure thing. Have fun out there." Melanie placed a chaste kiss on her cheek, giving Lorenzo one last look before she sauntered out of the room, chewing on the gummy bears she had picked out of the fridge. "Shall we?" Lorenzo asked, extending his arm for his sister.

With a nod, she took it. "Let's go."

By the time evening came, the party had already entered full swing.

paparazzi and journalists alike were standing around the venue, trying to snap a shot of whoever important and wealthy they could, while guests walked in and out of the hotel, dressed in their best.

At current, some of the journalist were interviewing the two most stunning people at the event, Tobias Larsen and Celestine White, influential figures in their own areas and the perfect couple everyone had dubbed them.

"Mr. Larsen, this is the first time you ever made an appearance with a lady, does this mean that Ms. White is going to fill in the position of Mrs. Larsen soon?" One reporter out of all, asked.
