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 moon looked hazy as it hid behind thin wisps of clouds against the night sky.

In the Square Hotel located in the center of H city...

With a camera and a small recording pen in her hands, Lollo Shen sneaked into the thirteenth floor of the hotel.

She knew where all the surveillance cameras were placed. That way, she managed to stay within all the blind spots until she finally reached a door at the end of the hall.

As she took out the key card in her pocket, she beamed from ear to ear. 1314! Yes, this was it!

She carefully opened the door and went in to set up the camera. She did all of this in one breath. "Peacock to Eagle. Eagle, do you copy? The machine has already been placed. I repeat, the machine has already been placed. Over."

"Great. Get out of there, Peacock. Now." With a nod, she quickly but quietly ran back to the door.

Just when she was about to open the door, she heard a man's voice outside. There was no doubt that he was about to enter the room. Lollo Shen was shocked and she felt her heart skip a beat.

However, she immediately snapped out of it and hid herself in the closet nearby.

She often encountered unexpected situation like these. Being 'invisible' was one of the many skills she had to learn.

Through a crack in the closet door, she faintly saw the door swing open. A man walked in. Even though he was far from her sight, she could clearly see how handsome he was.

The brown wind coat highlighted his slender figure and the aristocratic temperament could be seen in his movements.

The man was none other than Harrison Jing!

Lollo Shen quickly took her phone out to take photos of him.

However, in the next second, she suddenly felt a wave of guilt.

Would it be right to do something like this to a person like him? What did he even do wrong?

Harrison Jing took of his coat and his watch before proceeding to remove his shoes and top.

Lollo Shen quickly closed her eyes. Only when she heard the sound of running water did she dare to open her eyes again. She did not expect to see the man taking a shower!

The bathroom door was completely transparent, and so she was able to see everything.

Harrison Jing was in her full view.

Her face was flushed all the way to her ears.

Ten minutes later...

With a bath towel around his waist, Harrison Jing walked out of the bathroom and opened a bottle of whiskey. Taking a few gulps, he nearly finished the glass of whiskey he had poured for himself. It was easy to feel that he was rather irritated over something. This woman was making him wait too long.

With a sigh, he stood up and walked towards the closet where Lollo Shen was hiding.

'Is he going to open the closet?' she asked herself as he reached out his hand.

Lollo Shen took a deep breath before closing her eyes, her heart fluttering wildly. 'Is this the end for me?' she thought helplessly.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

The sound came from outside the door. Lollo Shen also looked at the door and found out that Harrison Jing was already on his way to open it.

Peeping through the crack, Lollo saw a woman standing outside the doorway. The woman had an oval face and long, blonde hair.

Just seconds after, she threw Harrison onto the bed before he could even react.

After a long struggle, he finally got rid of her.

"Harrison..." the woman whispered in a charming voice.

She pressed herself against Harrison's body.
