Alpha s Obsessed Love For His Little Wife

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.

Flora walked out of the hospital sadly, she stopped a cab and as the cab drove her to a nearby hospial that her younger brother was, tears streamed down her cheek.

She had just carried on an act of surrogacy for a man she had no idea about. She gazed at the bag containing money in her hand and her heart ached terribly.

Life had really been unfair to her. She used to live a happy life with her mum, dad and younger brother until her mother died.

Her father brought in another woman to the house three days after Flora's mum death. Apparently, he had been engaging in the act of infidelity and had been keeping this woman outside of marriage for a long time.

Juniata who happened to be the new woman that her father married treated Flora and her brother cruelly that they had to flee from home.

Flora had been living alone with her younger brother since then. She goes to school but still works for the rest of the day, saturdays and sundays included. She just wanted her younger brother to live the most comfortable life.

But things got even worst when her younger brother, Tony was diagnosed to have a hole in the heart last week. She felt like her world was crumbling. She had no one that could help.

Her father was wealthy but the hatred that subsists between her and her father would never make her go to him to ask for help.

It was during her strugge to find the money to pay for the surgical operation of her younger brother that she got an offer from a female teacher at her school who knew about her predicament.

The offer was for her to carry on the act of surrogacy for a wealthy man but she will never get to know his identity.

"Hey, aren't you dropping here?" The cab man jerked her off her thought.

"Oh! I'm sorry." Flora looked out through the window of the car and saw that she was at the place where she was to drop.

She paid the cab man and highlighted, she walked in quickly with the bag of money in her hands.

When she found the doctor that was in charge of her brother, she said," I've been able to get the money."

"Great," the doctor directed her to where she was to pay.

After she had paid, the surgical operation was carried on the second day in the afternoon.

While the operation was going on in the operation room, she was roaming around the corridor and was hoping that the operation would go well.

Her brother was her only companion, she loved him dearly and prayed earnestly that his surgery would be successful.

Her heart wasn't at ease at all, today was a tuesday and she was supposed to be in school but she can't afford to leave her brother in the hospital alone on a sensitive day like this.

About an hour later, a doctor walked out of the theater room with a glove in both hands. Once Flora sighted him, he walked swiftly to him," sir, how is my brother?"
