Marriage Before Love

While I Was Bleeding Out, He Lit Lanterns For Her

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.

Tasha walked inside Lili's room slowly and held a cake in her hands.

"Happy birthday Lillian, happy birthday....."Tasha sang but was cut by Lili.

"Mom" She yelled angrily and walked down the bed.

"I said walking in calmly while singing happy birthday Lili and not Lilian ok?" She asked and Tasha sighed before going back outside.

She had already fixed the camera in the room, Lili returned to the bed and pretended to be asleep.

Tasha walked in calmly again and sang one more time.

"Happy birthday Lili, happy birthday to you....."She sang then Lili woke up dizzily before jumping into her mom's arms for a hug.

"Thanks, Mom, you are the best, I never expected a surprise for my birthday" Lili beamed happily while staring at the camera.

"Such a pretender" Tasha muttered beneath her breath.

"I heard that" Lili whispered to her and she just rolled her eyes.

"Now that we are done with your birthday celebration can we leave now?" Tasha asked before walking towards the closet and selecting her clothes, Lili will always select hers alone as she considers herself an adult.

"Mom I have a birthday wish," Lili said then climbed on the bed before folding her legs.

What's your wish baby?" Tasha asked.

"This," Lili said pulling a paper from under her pillow and then handing it to Tasha.

Tasha unfolded the paper and it read.

#1: Super loaded with cash.

#2: Very cute like me

#3: own a private jet that can take me to Disney.

#4: is not stingy.

#5: is famous.

Tasha was then reading the list but she was confused.

"Do you want a movie that has this quality?" She asked and Lili frowned.
