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.

After moving to Westview with her family the last thing Anastasia Summers was expecting is to be in this kinda of environment where it completely dry and lot of nature's surrounding the place. It looks like an old town but surprisingly the people around had manage to keep it clean and new except from the leaves that must have fallen from the tree littering the environment.

It wasn't a problem to her though because she likes the view and every part of it but she is going to a new school with her best friend who had moved with them since her parents aren't always around. She had always live with them since she was a child and presently see the Summers as her own family and doesn't even like her real parent's.

It a relief her best friend is with her but still she feels so uncomfortable and have this weird feelings since they drive into the estate which is a bit far from the street, where their house is located. She felt this energy gathering in her as they drive into the street which is a bit confusing to her.

"Here it is ladies"Dylan, her father says as he drive into the beautiful storey build house that actually suite with the environment.

"Wow"Avelyn, her best friend giggled as she alighted.

"This is amazing"Ansa, her mother said as she alight too and she is the only one left. She is confused right now.

This is the first time she is relocating to a new environment after all this year's.

"You aren't going sit there forever"Avelyn said to her as she grab a big bag from the car booth and follow her parents inside. She look around through the car window before alighting.

The street is so dry and quiet and you will find it difficult to believe people actually live there.

"I guess everyone do things in low key"She take in a deep breathe before she grab a mini bag that contain her personal things and alight from the car.

She was about to move into the house when her eye met this guy that is standing at the window side of his room staring at her. She was expecting the guy to look away or something but he just focus his gaze on her so she wave at him trying to be nice but he got no reaction from him.

"That weird or is that how they do things here?"She shrug picking up her bag and she walk inside.

"Why are you standing there?"Avelyn asks she walk pass her to get more of the luggages.

"Nothing just looking around"She lied, raising her head up to check if the guy she couldn't picture his face well is still there but he was gone.

"Where is he?"She look around but quit because she felt so stupid for waving at the first place.

"Comm'n let go in"Avelyn tap her back and she follow her into the house bag.

"OMG"her jaws are on the floor when she sees how beautiful the house is from the inside.

She is a bit discourage about the environment but she definitely like it inside more than outside. "Mom where is our room?"Avelyn asks.

"Upstairs the first and second is for you two"John replied and she dashed up the staircase immediately.

Dad arched his brows at Anatasia but she shrug and chuckled before excusing them, she join Avelyn who is seen bouncing on the bed and yelling happily.

"Stop it already"She said looking around the room.

"I am taking this so you better go check the other one"Avelyn defend immediately.

"Like seriously?"She roll her eye as she drop her stuff on the empty table.

"I am serious"She defend as she climb down from the bed.

"No! this my room and I am taking it"Anatasia defended.

"What? I came here before you"She disagree.

"No way I am taking this and that final"Ana stated as she unpack her book and arrange it on the table.

"You are such a cheat"She stick out his tongue as she walk out of the room.

"I don't give a fuck"She yelled, moving close the window she threw it apart and the sunlight peeped into the room.

She smiled loving the view from her window side until her eye landed on the guy by the window side sitting there with his headphones on, this time he wasn't looking at her but instead his phone.

She moved away from the window side still bothered about the guy at the window but it isn't her business. She shrug as she stride back to the living room to get more of her luggage
