Confronting the Scheming Sister

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.

The phone rang, shattering the quiet.

It was the police.

My parents. Gone. Just like that.

My world collapsed, leaving me drowning in debt and sorrow.

Then, Ethan Miller, my fiancé, stepped in, a savior from a powerful family.

He handled everything, defying his grandfather, who despised me as the "daughter of a bankrupt failure."

We married, and for five years, he was the perfect husband, encouraging my dreams of rebuilding.

I poured my soul into ninety-nine startups, each failing catastrophically.

Investors pulled out, competitors mimicked my ideas, my data leaked.

Ethan always picked up the pieces, assuring me, "The tech world is brutal. We'll try again."

On the anniversary of our first date, I decided to surprise him at his office with red roses.

But the door was ajar, and I heard him talking to his best friend, Chad.
