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.

Along the road side, an extremely beautiful lady was walking from one street to another and looking at everyone passing suspiciously. She was wearing a short gown, and this gown was white in colour but it had stained with blood so it colour had changed to somehow brownish.

The young beautiful lady was normal in stature, had a very attractive cat eye balls and a pointed noise. She had a long hair and which was brown in colour. Her skin was glowing, means that she was not from a poor family but a rich and flamboyant family. The name of this beautiful and attractive lady was ARIA. The name was so beautiful as the person bearing it.

Aria was walking to where people were but none of them noticed her or did as if they saw her at all, despite all stupid things that she was doing for someone to just notice her.

All of them were just passing by and it was like they didn't see her. She too didn't expect all of them to see her because she was a SPIRIT, but just trying her lucky maybe someone could see her.

Aria stopped walking after a long walks and sat down on the chair at the front of a big mall. She rests her back on the chair and looking so sad.

'If you are lucky and someone sees you, hold that person well and don't let him or her go. He or she can be the one that will help you, and let you get back into your body' Aria remembering the conversations that she heard with a man whom was also a Sprit like her.

'It may not be easy but you can have the luck. I have been looking for someone or TRUE LOVE from someone for the past eleven years now but I don't' Hearing the man's voice said.

'You should try. Leave this hospital environment, go out and you can be lucky' Aria breathes out and changed the way she was sitting.

"I have been walking for the whole day, let me return back to my friend and I will continue with this tomorrow" Aria said to herself and stood up.

"I am tired, even I am hungry. Let me start going" she said and started leaving the mall. She just walked a little far from the mall and to a restaurant beside it when she saw a little boy eating snacks and also put one beside him on a chair.

"That one too should be enough for that little boy, let me take that one I beg" Aria said to herself and took the second wrapper. The little boy didn't see her but he just saw that his second snacks had disappeared and he started crying and shouting.

"Ah! Ah!! Clam down okay, and I will get another one for you now" the little boy heard a guy said and standing beside him.

"Calm down and stop crying okay, I will get another one for you now" the guy pet the little boy and quickly walked to the man that was selling it at the front of the restaurant, and bought another one.

"Thank you very much Uncle" the little boy said with joy and as he collected it from the guy. The guy just smiled and quickly left the place. He ran to Aria, she was still walking alone the road side and she had not walked far from the restaurant.

"Ah! Ah!! Look at me and how could you do that to that little boy" the young guy said with anger and standing at the front of Aria.

"How could you steal this from that little boy, a little boy for that matter" the guy said.

"I am hungry and I took it, moreover there is one in his hand that he is eating" Aria replied with loud voice and like she didn't do anything wrong.

"That is stealing, you should have begged him for it not to steal it" the guy said.

"Ask him first, as if he can see me----- No, wait for a minutes. Can you see me?" Aria said with loud voice.

"What did you mean by that? I don't get" the guy said with low voice.

"Oh my God! Oh my God, he can see him!! He can see me" Aria jumped up with joy and hugged the guy tightly. The guy was shocked as she hugged him and just separated his hands.

The guy was tall, normal in stature and so handsome. He was dressing well and looking like a rich guy from a billionaire home, and his name was HENRY

"What is this, get yourself away from me" Henry said with loud voice and pushed her away.

"I am happy that you can see me, you can see me!!" She said and hugged him again.

"What is wrong with you? Get off" Henry pushed her away again and looking at her suspiciously.

"What is wrong with you? And what did you mean by I CAN SEE YOU?" he asked with low voice and looking at her.

"That little boy keeps saying that his snacks disappeared, mean that he didn't see me. I am happy that you can see me. This is what I have been praying for since, wow!" Aria was so happy.

"I don't get, I don't understand at all" Henry said with low voice and looked around him, looked at people passing by.

"I want to confirm something first, go and stay at that car" Henry said with low voice and looking at Aria suspiciously. Aria obeyed what he said and she went to stay at the car, standing beside it.

"I am sorry that I stopped you Brother, I have a little problem with my sight but it's like I am seeing a stain on my car. Can you see it too? Help me please" he said with low voice.

"Nothing is there Sir, it's clean and looking so beautiful" the boy said with respect.

"You don't see anything there, nobody is there too?" Henry asked.

"Nobody is there and no stain. It's only the car that is there Sir" the boy said and wanted to go.

"Alright! Thank you very much" Henry said with low voice and he was so surprised and feeling somehow. The boy left, and Henry walked to the car.

"I am so happy that you can see me, I am happy" Aria said and with lovely smiles.

"Fine! Please I have to go now" He pressed the key to the car, and wanted to be going to the driver side.

"I WANT TO BE LIVING WITH YOU PLEASE!" Aria said with low voice.

"That can never be possible, I don't know you from Adam so please. And I have to go now" Aria held his hand and didn't allow him to go.

"I want to live with you!" She said with loud voice.
