While I Was Bleeding Out, He Lit Lanterns For Her
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.Chapter 1
Before
"Everything is going to be fine Brian, I'm going to drive you back home so you can stay with Lucy ok?" Jayda said, trying to soothe little Brian from thinking the worst of their current situation.
"No, I want to stay here Godmother, " He said, firmly.
Jayda exhaled a deep breath and just simply pulled him into a tight embrace.
"Everything is going to be fine okay?" She assured
Brian although far too young, understands life way better than an adult and it's mostly because he learned to appreciate life from the moment he could say 'mom'.
"Are they going to die?" He asked, his voice trembling with uncertainty.
"No, I promise they won't. God would never take them away from you"
Even Jayda wasn't so sure but she was willing to say anything to keep the nine-year-old sane.
"Did you talk to him?" He asked slowly pulling away from the hug. His eyes looked like a deep blue ocean trapped in a glass.
"Every second sweetheart" she gave him a kissed on the centre of his eyebrows.
"I want to talk to him too, " He said
"Sure you can" Her cell phone began to ring "give me a minute"
She took a few steps from the little boy to receive her boyfriend's call.
"Hi, how's Lucy?" She asked.
"She's fine. How's Kyle and Adeline?"
"It's bad Donnie, I couldn't break the dire situation to Brian. I tried to persuade him to come over but he wouldn't even budge. They're still in the O-R"
"What are the chances?"
"There could be a severe head injury from the tumbling." She said, her hands trembling from the fear of losing her best friends.
"I wish I could be there"
"Just take care of Lucy, I'll be back after the surgery and they're stable"
"You ate?"
"I can't even stomach my saliva and poor Brian wouldn't eat anything"
A little twirl made Jayda see the Doctor exit the Operation room.
"I gotta go, Doc is here"
"You take care J, I love you." He said
"I love you too" she hung up and hurried to where the Doctor stood.
"The operation went successfully but they are not out of danger yet, we still need to conduct more internal tests to be sure nothing has been missed"
"Thank you so much Doctor, can we see them?" She asked while Brian gripped on to her fingers tightly.
"I suggest you come back tomorrow morning, you both need to rest" He bent down to meet Brian's height.
"You are one tough dude" He complimented before leaving the both of them in the long and empty hallway.
"Mommy and Daddy are going to be fine and the Doctor is right, you need to rest. We'll be back as early as possible in the morning"
He was hesitant as though some kind of force was pulling him to stay back but deep down he knows better.
He gave her a nod and together they exit the hallway.

36:26 A Chase Encounter
"Brian I am your Godmother!" Jayda reminded him in case he forgot she is ten years older than him. A whole decade. "Age is just a number, I don't care," Brian said as he continued to walk closer to her until her back hit the wall of his office and his arms secured on each side.
