Tumbling Emotions

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.

***FOCUS HIGH SCHOOL***

As Quinn took a step down from the car,the atmosphere did some magic in her Flawless skin and no one had to inform her that her life is about to change for the best.

This new school,she's going to try making a good vibe,no matter what.

" Quinn,what are you thinking about? Come on we need to get to the school principal immediately" A woman who dressed so elegantly spoke up to her daughter

" Sorry mom,was lost. The school is amazing" Quinn made a silly smirk

" It's the best school here girl,I told you" The woman smiled

" Yeah you did,Mrs Spencer " Quinn grinned and moved closer to her mom who gave her a gentle slap on her cheek

" Come on mom,,that's your name. Why slapping me" She teased

The two keep on talking until they got to the principal's office as directed by a teacher.

*****

" Bye sweetheart,enjoy your first day. I love you " Mrs Spencer waved

" Thanks mom,I love you more " Quinn replied walking away with a teacher who will be showing her to her new class.

Mrs Spencer,a very popular and competent lawyer known all over the world for her charisma. That's Quinn's mom.

As Quinn followed the teacher,she couldn't help but to admire the school, FOCUS HIGH.

Okay another introduction,Focus high school is the biggest school in Italy,this school is meant for only the rich and it is owned by the President,,

President Connor.

This school is only filled with students from a well affluence family,no poor student is allowed here.

Even the president last child,attends this school.

They keep on walking for seconds which felt like hours to Quinn.

But as they walked she saw something which caught her attention,,,it's a boy obviously a student even though the school doesn't deal with uniforms,,all students are allowed to dress the way they want, but she could sense it,He's a student,,

Two other men in suits were behind him and beside him was another girl walking with him.

But Quinn focus was mainly on the boy

'Is he an Angel' she thought staring at him

He look so breathtaking,Those f**king sexy adams apple,pink lips,brown eyes,even his outfit is hot,he have an ear piercing too? Wow,

" Damn,who is this guy?" She didn't know when she said that loud

" It's the president son,,Gray Connor,He's a final grade student,your senior" The teacher beside her answered and she nodded still not taking her eyes from him

But something made her heart skip a beat,the boy also turned toward her direction and their eyes met.

She was suppose to remove her gaze from him but she didn't,she was able to see him more,,He's an Angel on earth.

She was even more surprised that he didn't look away either,the same way she focused her gaze on him,just the same way he was staring at her. He couldn't take his eyes away from her...

But their moment was shortlived when the girl beside him tapped him and he looked away.

'Bitch' Quinn cursed inwardly and also looked away.

Finally they got to the class,,the noisy class became silent the moment they stepped in and all the eyes came directly on her. She's not surprised,she's used to the gazes even though she doesn't appreciate it. She can't pray to become invisible right?

" So students,,here is a new student. She will be joining you,,and I want you all to make her feel welcome." The teacher spoke gently to the students

The teacher faced her and she knew the sign

" Hi guys,,I am Quinn Spencer. Nice meeting you all " She said simply with a blank expression

The students all clapped

" Anyone without a seat partner??" The teacher asked and five students raised their hands

" I will sit with her,,I love her face " Quinn said pointing at a girl with glasses on from the back.

" Good,,go sit with her. If you are comfortable" The teacher said and left the class
