No Longer Mrs. Cooley: The Architect's Return
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.Cally's POV:
Cally sat nervously on the park bench, her heart pounding in her chest as she watched her ex-boyfriend, Eric, and his classmate, Lisa, from a distance. They were huddled closely together under a tree, their whispers barely audible over the rustle of leaves.
"I can't believe I agreed to meet him here," Cally thought, her hands trembling. She had suspected something was amiss in her relationship with Eric, but seeing him so intimately engaged with Lisa shattered any lingering doubts.
As Cally mustered the courage to approach them, her mind raced with a mix of anger and sadness. She had invested so much love and trust in Eric, only to be betrayed by his infidelity. She couldn't bear to witness their illicit rendezvous any longer.
With a heavy heart, she rose from the bench and took a step forward, ready to confront Eric and demand an explanation for his betrayal.
