Not The Only One Chapter 1 BROKEN

Alexa looked at the man beside her right now, who was her husband and also the man she had been in love with for almost eight years. Alexa had known Darwin even before they chose to get married. Darwin is a man who is always there whenever Alexa needs him, but in the past two years, Alexa has felt Darwin is hiding something. What she feared happened: Darwin lied to her. The fact was revealed when Alexa found out that Darwin often sends a large amount of money to someone every month.

And the second fact that Alexa found was that Darwin married his friend from college, but not until he also had a child with that woman.

Alexa can't hide it since the accident that happened to her eight years ago. The accident was fatal, causing her to have difficulty having children. Alexa has tried various ways with Darwin; even without Darwin's knowledge, Alexa saw a gynecologist who was quite famous, but what she found was all nil.

''Darling.'' Darwin opened his eyes to look at Alexa, who was also looking at him with a look that was hard to interpret. Darwin pulled the body of the wife he loved so much, breathing in the fragrance of the body that always made Darwin calm. Meanwhile, what Alexa felt when she got that treatment was just stiff silence. I don't know; Alexa seemed to hate the romantic treatment Darwin gave her. Although, in the past, she always adored Darwin's embrace and affection but Darwin's treatment now seemed to slap Alexa's heart. That she was not the only woman in her husband's heart.

"Hmmmm. Alexa gently stroked Darwin's hair, which was now in his arms. "I love you, Alexa, and I will always love you." Darwin's words seemed like a lie to Alexa. What kind of marriage was it? Darwin played the role of the lie very well. Darwin raised his head when he didn't hear any reaction from his wife.

''Are you okay? Are you sick?" Darwin placed his hand on Alexa's head. However, Alexa quickly moved away from his body, making Darwin raise an eyebrow as he was confused by the change in his wife.

''I'm okay, honey; I love you too.'' Alexa briefly kissed Darwin's lips, which felt bland and foreign to his heart now.

''Alright, I'll prepare the meal before you go to the office.'' Alexa released Darwin's embrace and picked up her clothes that were scattered on the floor. Even though Darwin betrayed her-I don't know when it happened but Alexa still treated Darwin like a husband to be respected and served. Until he got fed up and divorced her. Then all the charades will end, and Alexa will not forget the sacred promises they made before God. Alexa would not leave Darwin, even though she had now been betrayed.

Darwin stares blankly at Alexa's back, who is now walking away from him. Every time Alexa leaves him with a smile, the fear of losing her gets higher. Darwin feels scared that the things he hides will one day be revealed. Darwin will not let Alexa go at any time. Until he dies, Alexa will be a woman who means a lot to him. Even though Darwin himself has hurt Alexa just because, one stupid night, he impregnated his friend Monica, who also became his mistress, Monica gave birth to a son who would become his successor. Darwin hopes that one day Alexa can accept his son and consider him her biological son. Darwin came out of his room in a full office suite. Darwin could smell Alexa's cooking, which was neatly arranged on the dining table. Alexa placed a cup of espresso and a cup of black coffee, which became Alexa's drink. Darwin looked puzzled at Alexa. Alexa never liked Americano; the woman only drank hot chocolate most of the time. But what he saw was very odd. Alexa casually sipped coffee that was still slightly steaming.

''Since when do you drink black coffee?'' Darwin finally opened the conversation when there was no conversation between them other than the clinking sound of clashing cutlery.

''Ahhh it's only been a few years since I changed my taste... It's not as bad as I thought; black coffee is much better.'' Alexa smiled before refocusing her gaze on the coffee cup in front of her, as bitter as her life was now.

''I don't know... I apologize for not being with you very often because of work.'' Darwin grabbed Alexa's fingers from the table and held them tightly.

"Where are our wedding rings? Darwin looked at Alexa's fingers, which were not wearing their wedding rings. Before, Alexa had never taken it off at all. Darwin knew Alexa was not a forgetful woman. Alexa pulled at her fingers frantically.

''I took it off because, yesterday, there was a university inspection, and we lecturers are not allowed to wear any jewelry.'' Alexa lied and said that her and Darwin's wedding ring was in a drawer. She took the ring off after seeing the affair Darwin had with her.

''Next time you can't take it off, it's a sign of our love, Alexa. Don't lose it.'' Darwin looked angry from the corner of Alexa's field, but Alexa's woman just nodded her head. She was too lazy to argue about a small matter that was not important to her. Alexa escorted her husband, arriving in front of their spacious mansion.

''Honey, I'm leaving; see you... I'll be back in a week. I love you, my wife." Darwin kissed the top of Alexa's head. Alexa just closed her eyes, enjoying the one moment she had always received for five years. Alexa waved her hand as she watched Darwin's car drive away. Alexa's smile immediately faded when she knew Darwin was not leaving because of work, but was back with his mistress Monica. Alexa changed her clothes to be more formal, taking her bag. Alexa had a schedule to teach afternoon classes, but she chose to go to the university to just breathe the air, which might be better than having to linger at home. Along the way, Alexa just gripped the steering wheel of her car; her mind was still raging about why she had to feel pain continuously, even though her parents had an affair. Alexa was dumped at a daycare center by her biological mother.

Alexa also can't have children, and now that her husband is having an affair, Alexa is thinking about how much more suffering she has to accept. Alexa is an accounting lecturer who is famous for being a killer but also sexy. It is not unusual for many students to stare at her with disrespectful eyes. Even the old lecturers looked at her like that. It was just that they didn't dare touch the wife of a famous businessman like Darwin Maxluce who could kill them with the snap of a finger. Alexa stepped into the classroom with her hair tied up. Now Alexa let it loose to touch her shoulders, with an all-black outfit making Alexa look many times more beautiful with dark red lipstick. Her hazel eyes can anesthetize every man who is fascinated by her. Alexa took the attendance of every student who attended her class, but there was one table that was still empty, making Alexa angry.

''Who's the one who hasn't come?" Alexa asked the class president.

"Sorry..." A man entered a bad boy suit and sat down at the empty table.

"Who told you to sit so casually?" Alexa stared coldly at the man, who stared back at her coldly as well. The man just raised one eyebrow, arrogantly, making Alexa want to be angry even more. If she wasn't thinking about today's exam, then Alexa would have left the class.

"Ahhhh... Well, I don't want to waste time." Alexa immediately distributed the exam papers to each table. And Alexa placed a similar paper on the desk of a cold man that she knew was named Oliver. The man who had caught her eye. Throughout the exam, Alexa just stared at Oliver, who was working on the questions seriously. Alexa could guess. Oliver may be a playboy by the looks of it; his face and the look in Oliver's eyes make the women, probably including Alexa, feel trembling.

"I want it!" Alexa was finally sure of what she was thinking. "Well, if you're done, you can collect it with Oliver, and you bring all the questions to my desk." Alexa smiled and walked out of the classroom, trying to normalize her heartbeat. Because Alexa's heart didn't usually beat fast unless she was with Darwin, her husband, first.

The heavy iron gates of the Wilderness Correction Camp groaned as they released me after three years of state-sponsored hell. I stood on the dirt road, clutching a plastic bag that held my entire life, waiting for the family that claimed they sent me there for "rehab." My brother, Brady, picked me up in a luxury SUV only to throw me out onto a deserted highway in the middle of a brewing storm. He told me I was a "public relations nightmare" and that the rain might finally wash the "stink" of the camp off me. He drove away, leaving me to limp miles through the mud on a snapped ankle. When I finally dragged myself to our family estate, my mother didn't offer a hug; she gasped in horror because my muddy clothes were ruining her Italian marble. They didn't give me my old room back. Instead, they banished me to a moldy gardener’s shack and hired a "babysitter" to make sure I didn't embarrass them further. My sister, Kaleigh, stood there in white cashmere, pretending to cry while clinging to her fiancé, Ambrose—the man who had once been mine. They all treated me like a volatile junkie, refusing to acknowledge that Kaleigh was the one who planted the drugs in my bag three years ago. They wanted to believe I was broken so they wouldn't have to feel guilty about the "wellness retreat" that was actually a torture chamber. I sat in the dark of that shed, feeling the cooling gel on the cigarette burns that covered my arms, and realized they had made a fatal mistake. They thought they had erased me, but I had returned with a roadmap of scars and a hidden satellite phone. At dinner, I didn't beg for their love. I simply rolled up my sleeves and showed them the price of their silence. As the wine spilled and the lies crumbled, I sent a single text to the only person I trusted: "I'm in. Let them simmer." The hunt was finally on.

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch—a titan of industry and my best friend’s father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.

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.
