My billionaire girl

While I Was Bleeding Out, He Lit Lanterns For Her

Katie Oettgen

As I lay on the floor of our manor, bleeding out from a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, I used my last ounce of strength to call my husband, Cole. I begged him for help, my vision blurring. But the only thing I heard was the clinking of champagne glasses and his mistress's giggle in the background. "Stop the drama, June," Cole snapped, his voice cold. "We're about to go on stage. Don't call again." He hung up, leaving me to die alone on the Persian rug while he accepted an award with another woman on his arm. I woke up in the hospital days later. My baby was gone. They had removed my fallopian tube. Cole finally arrived, smelling of expensive scotch and his mistress's perfume. He didn't hug me. He didn't cry. Instead, he leaned over my hospital bed, pressing his knee into the mattress until my fresh stitches tore open and bled. "You embarrassed me by calling an ambulance," he hissed. "My mistress, Alycia, says you're faking it. Clean yourself up." He left me bleeding again to go announce a $10 million donation to Alycia's "groundbreaking" medical research. I stared at the TV screen, numb. The research Alycia was taking credit for? It was mine. I wrote that patent years ago under a pseudonym. They thought I was just a poor, orphan housewife who needed Cole's money to survive. They had no idea I was actually a billionaire scientist hiding my identity. I pulled the IV needle out of my arm. A drop of blood fell onto the divorce papers I had been hiding. I didn't wipe it off. I signed my name right over it. Then I walked into the bank, reactivated my dormant account with $128 million, and bought the penthouse directly overlooking Cole's house. The mourning widow is dead. The avenger is born.

"Happy graduation Camila!" Everyone yelled as I walked into the room which was meant for my graduation party or could be referred to as an after party as I had already celebrated my graduation party with my friends at school

I just finished high school and am looking forward to going to college.

I'm Camila Greyson, an eighteen years old average girl, five feet tall, slender, petite form, blue eyes, round face small heart shaped lips and as for my long thick hair, it was pale gold in colour

My grades was nothing to talk about as I never got an A, always a D or a C

I'm not the studying type, but I still try to do my best just to make my father happy

I'm the only daughter of one of the famous man in the world

My dad is greyson Levi, the owner of *GRAYSON'S ENTERPRISE* one of the most biggest companies in the world

He is the richest in California and the eight richest man in the whole world, but I don't act anything like I'm his daughter

I'm one crazy girl that loves having fun rather than listening to my dad's instructions and studying

I am so happy that I'm finally out of high school.

My mum is dead

Died a painful and unforgettable death

She was knocked down by a hit and run driver when she was about crossing the road to get into her car and didn't make it alive before we got to the hospital

We couldn't do anything about it since no one saw the driver that was behind it

Even when the incident happened two years ago it still felt so fresh in my memory.

I I'm not alone.

I have two brothers; Lincoln and mateo

They could easily be referred to as trouble makers.

Mateo is 21 years old

He is a flirt, a playboy and an unserious fellow, but behind his naughty character is a cute jovial guy who is very playful and understanding.

For his facial appearance ; he has a dark brown hair, brown eyes, thin lips and oval shaped face.

Lincoln is the eldest and behaves much like our father, strict and a bit harsh at times.

He acts like a father figure to both I and mateo whenever our dad was not around

He is 23 years old, brown hair, brown eyes, not so thin lips, six packs and muscular shaped body

He has always been over protective over me ever since we were little and I being the only girl in the family of four was treated like a princess, but I wasn't all spoilt and naughty.

"Wow... I can't believe we are finally out of high school" Ryan squealed into my ears, standing beside me

Ryan is my best friend.

We have been best friends since we were little and our friendship is close to being 12 years.

We ended up been schoolmates, classmates, and even seatmates

We are so fond of each other, sharing each of our secrets to each other

He is a straight A student, but that doesn't mean that he is a nerd

He is nothing close to that as he is just like me, the fun type.

He had tried putting me through so as to be an A student like him but I wasn't just ready.

Ryan is 19 years old, six feet tall, has strong abs, slim but muscular, has hazel green eyes, full kissable lips, jet black hair, square jaws and pointed nose

He was every girl's crush back then in high school as he's always given an award in being the most handsome guy in school, but I was never one of his crush

He is like a brother.

His parents are rich, but aren't popular.

"Yeah. Still like a lovely dream" I drawled my reply.

I had no other friend apart from Ryan because I wasn't the type that keeps too many friends, coupled with the fact that all the friends I have been having in the past were all jerks

My dad, my brothers and my bestie are the only people in my life and they are all male- so amazing

Life with them was nothing but fun

One could guess life with them as mess-with-me-once-and-regret-your-life

Surrounded always by guys had taught me how to be confident and bold, but I was scared as death when it comes to fighting.

That was my weak point

I had no idea how to fight, but what was the need learning how to fight when I had two brothers and a bestie who are being over protective over me?

"See ya later" Ryan said to me absentmindedly staring at some girl and walked off.

He isn't that much of a player like mateo but he likes to flirt with girls

I groaned in frustration and went ahead to grab a drink.

A guy approached me, one who I guess was one of my brother's friend since I couldn't recognize his face

"Camila, happy graduation! You are now a big girl" he said checking me out

I knew that which made my skin pinch and claws.

It had always been like this; guys trying to flirt with me, but my brothers don't give them a chance as they always get rewarded with either a punch or a kick, I wonder what's gonna happen to this one

"And those lips.... I could die for it" he said seductively licking his lips in a provocating manner as he brought his face closer to mine ready to kiss me

I felt sick in my stomach instantly

I have never kissed before

The thought of exchanging saliva with someone else wanna make me puke

Yuck!

I was thinking about slapping his face off but before I could put my thought into action a cold breeze blew and the guy was no longer standing next to me

I gasp when I saw mateo push him hard against the wall punching him hard

"How dare you try to touch her?"Mateo yelled at him angrily.

Mateo wasn't the type that gets angry easily, like he barely gets angry and seeing him angry now only frecks me out

Lincoln glared hard at me making me a bit scared and told Ryan to take me upstairs.

Luckily for me our dad wasn't in the country so he wasn't gonna know about any of these.

"Cami let's go" Ryan said calling me the usual name he calls me *Cami* but my brothers prefer calling me cam

I shook my head stubbornly

"Damn you!" he cursed under his breath before carrying me over his shoulder and matching upstairs to my room

I kicked, fought, struggled, but he didn't let go off me.

He got into my room, shut the door behind us and put me down

"What were you thinking flirting with that guy?" He yelled obviously pissed

"What!..... I.... I Wasn't flirting with him"
