No Longer Mrs. Cooley: The Architect's Return

Xiao Xiaosu

I went to the City Clerk’s office for a routine copy of my marriage license to finalize a trust fund audit. I expected a simple piece of paper, but the clerk’s pitying look told me my entire life was a lie. "The license was never finalized, Ms. Oliver. In the eyes of the state, you are single." The three-hundred-guest wedding at the Plaza and the Vogue features meant nothing. My husband, Gray Cooley, had intentionally filed the documents with a "procedural defect" so he could discard me without a legal divorce. Moments later, an iCloud invite titled "Our Little Secret" popped up on my screen. It was a photo of my best friend, Brylee, holding a positive pregnancy test at our Hamptons estate. Gray’s text to her was the final blow: "Happy anniversary, babe. This baby is the best gift. Once the trust unlocks today, we’re done with the charade." I soon discovered they were even stealing my career, reassigning my architectural masterpiece to Brylee while preparing my eviction notice. Gray's mother called me a "barren mule" in a leaked recording, mocking the infertility I suffered after saving Gray’s life in a construction accident. I wasn't a wife; I was a three-year placeholder used to secure his inheritance. How could the man I bled for treat me like a disposable prop? How could my best friend carry his child while pretending to comfort me through my darkest moments? The betrayal burned until it turned into a cold, hard stone of fury. I didn't cry. Instead, I walked into the penthouse of the Barretts, the Cooleys' most powerful rivals. I signed a marriage contract with Kane Barrett, the man the tabloids called the "Beast of Wall Street." "I want a wedding," I told his father, my voice steady and lethal. "Bigger than the one I had with Gray." If they wanted me gone, they would have to watch me become the woman who owns their world.

Alpha Point Of View

"Jack, let's talk --"

"Talk? For what? To tell me that Kieffer is the one you love? That we won't lose? Then go! That's enough!" Jack suddenly shouted at me. I stopped because of what he did, I felt like my heart is breaking because of he shouted at me.

I just watched him leave in front of me, after he walked out I followed him to talk but he left again.

"I just want to tell you how I feel." I whispered while looking at the road he took.

How can I tell you if you are always like that? You don't want to talk to me because you avoid me, every time I approach you, you walk away. Every time our eyes glaze over, you avoid me. Every time I meet you,you just acting like I'm a wind that you can't see.

A few days also passed and that's what happened to us. He is no longer in our section, as well as at school as if he is not there.

Where is the Jack who is cheerful? He is so different from the Jack that I met last month.

The event is tomorrow, he is not attending our practices, I see him with a woman and it break my heart, I will admit I am jealous even though we are not in a relationship. annoying because he does not want to listen to me.

"Of course she's my child." Kenny teased.

"Ughm Alpha?" She asked me.

"Yes?"

"Good, come with me, we will do something." she said. I frowned.

"Oh wait, even if you're sexy she will come with you, why do you need anything? She has no money but I have." Aron said. He got a strong nape from Loni. The woman smiled.

"I have a mission, it can also be good for Alpha." she said while looking at me.

"But---"

"Is that so? Will it be good for Alpha? Okay she will come but with us." Bryan said.

"But only one person can afford my car."

"Huh?"

"Come on Alpha, you might be late for the event." she said and pulled me inside.
