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.

" I am really sorry, we tried all we could but your mum needs surgery." I took a quick glance at my mum before turning to the old man before me.

"There is no way in hell I could raise that huge amount of money." I breathed out in frustration.

"Well, you have to" He shoulder shrugged before he left.

That was really helpful buddy....

I rolled my eyes as he closed the door. I moved closer to my mum to have a better look at her fragile body.

Damn she still looks beautiful.

I removed the hair covering her face, Yep, definitely still beautiful.

"I won't let you die mum." I gave a sad smile, I walked over to get my leather jacket from the chair, I took one last look at my mum before leaving.

I pushed the entrance door, to let my self out.

Finally fresh air, now how do I get money?

I took a long look at my motorbike packed at the other side of the street, immediately an idea popped.

But dad gave me this as a gift, well I have no choice.

I groaned putting on my jacket, I finally let my hair down and made my way to my bike.

I came to a sudden halt when I saw a Range rover hit my bike on it's attempt to reverse. My eyes widened, I got out of my shock when the person drove off.

What just happened??

I ran towards my bike, pushed it up only to see a huge scratch, I felt my heart stop, there is no way in hell I can sell it now. I felt my blood boil.

You have got to be kidding me. I am gonna kill some one.

I hopped on my bike, the engine roared to life as I put it on, I raced after the Range rover leaving the street.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

The car came to an halt in front of a very huge company, I immediately drove to it's front. My eyes shifted to the person coming out of the car, Holy shit !!!!

My jaw drops as I took in his appearance, I felt my eyes widen as I spotted his beautiful blue eyes, that incredible jawline, his black hair neatly swept to the back.

He looks like a freaking god.

I looked at his features one more time, I spotted a smirk.

"When you are done staring, get that piece of trash out of the way, someone is gonna take my car in." He slams his door as he throws his key to the door man.

I stormed to his front before he could move.
