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."Let go of me!" Meg yelled, pulling her arms away from Natalie's grip.
Slap!
"How dare you disobey me? I paid your family well for this marriage and you must do as I say" Natalie retorted.
Meg's tender cheek burned and turned red. She gently caressed it with her smooth palm. Tears welled up in her eyes as she opened her mouth to defend herself, but Natalie did not give her such liberty.
"What? Say one more word and I will send you to the grave" he shrieked.
He held her tiny arms tightly and squeezed them so that she had no room to escape.
Meg sobbed, the pain was unbearable, but there was no way she could fight back considering the manner he clutched her arms.
"You are hurting me, Natalie" she whispered
"I can as well have you killed, and your parents will do nothing about it. Cross my line next time and you will have yourself to blame"Natalie sneered and shoved her hard.
Meg didn't see that coming, she had a great fall and almost broke her core.
"Ouch," she cried out, holding her hurting waist.
Not satisfied with his cruelty, he went after her again, this time determined to be more brutal with her.
Unfortunately, Natalie felt a strong arm clasp him up and smack his back hard on the wall that stood behind them before he could get near her.
He waggled in an attempt to free himself from the intruder, but the stranger held him firmly.
It was at this point that lightning glimmered and Natalie was able to get a peek at his cold and unfriendly face.
"Lay another finger on her and you will be a dead man," the stranger muttered coldly.
His tone was void of any emotions, thick and dry was his voice. Cold chilly ran down Natalie's spine. Never in his life had he seen a man so intimidating with the allure of power and arrogance.
Glancing at his shivering body, the stranger shoved him hard, this made Natalie bang his ass on the ground. That was when he regretted bullying his wife outside the empty street.
The man then turned to Meg who was still whimpering on the floor and leaned to her level.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
Meg nodded her head. The man gently pulled her up to her feet.
"I will take you to the doctor," he whispered.
"No, thanks. I will be alright" Meg mumbled.
"Do you mind riding home with me?" He asked
"Don't worry, I will find my way home," Meg
replied. Looking toward Natalie.
"Are you sure you want to be with him"? The man asked following her gaze

Contract Marriage with the Billionaire After Divorce
"You thought you would hide forever Meg? I have found you and you must come with me" Natalie growled. He pulled Meg closer to his body.

Then I will show you how stinky it can be" Nat/0/18369/coverorgin.jpg?v=c55bde40276f7e92c25b477d56fbefbc&imageMogr2/format/webp)
