Disguised Bride of The Ruthless Duke by RaeV

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.

Chapter 1

I was burning up while preparing dinner, I want the best for him. The best thing i could ever give as his wife even if there is nothing left of me.

Even in the chaotic world I came from, I still learned to love more than I could give.

More than myself.

I heard his car parked in the garage so I quickly went to the living room to greet him with a kiss.

"Seigneur.." I greeted my husband with a smile.

"Babe!" The woman shouted while carrying the expensive paper bags.

It was obviously from the mall and my husband took it for a walk.

"Yes, hurry up." He ignored me and helped the woman carry her things.

I just bowed and went to the kitchen while talking.

"Dinner is ready." I contained my tears, no I shouldn't cry here.

Not in front of him.

He just looked at me coldly and asked Lian to sit down. He still supported it and peeled the meat.

He takes good care of her, something he never did to me.

"Babe, I want juice." Lian asked and my husband quickly took a pitcher and poured it into a glass.

I was about to turn away, I can't contain my tears anymore. The scene is breaking my heart.

"Stay here Cecelia! Suffer! Does it feel good?!" My scornful husband hums like he's overjoyed to see me struggling.

I held tightly to my hand that was burning because of cooking.

I'm used to this, it shouldn't hurt like this anymore. But it seems like every day it gets worse and worse as if I will be swallowed by so much sadness.

I even heard the two of them laughing while happily eating.

I haven't eaten yet.

My stomach hurt but I just endured it. I'll eat bread later.

"Fix our room, you and Lian can sleep there, sleep on the sofa first." He even held Lian's hand while saying this.

I just bowed and went to my husband's room.

As soon as I was at the door, I started to cry but I just wiped it away and started to move away.

"Cecelia, it's me..." I looked at Nana Loling.

He suddenly hugged me and caressed my back so I couldn't control my emotions anymore.

"Stop..." He comforted me so I felt a little better.

"Thank you..." I told him and we started to make arrangements.

She witnessed everything, everything that happened in this house, my husband's belittling and hurting me.

Well, I deserve this. I guess this is the result of all the sacrifices I made.

You can't really cover a mistake with another mistake, the payoff is greater.

Nanny went out and I was the only one left, I was about to walk out when Seigneur and Lian arrived.

I just bowed and was about to leave when Seigneur stopped me.

"Watch." He grabbed my hair and threw me on the floor. I groaned at the pain of my scalp but I don't think anything would hurt more than the soft and fragile diamond scene if Seigneur treated his partner more than my wife.

He's making love with her and he never made love with me. If there is, it is only because of lust.

"She's a virgin unlike you! Any man who hits on you has already been used!" The husband's speech while inserting his penis into the woman.

Lian was moan!ng and it ripped my heart into pieces. Gathering all my might, I ran out of the house while crying and crushed.

Despite the fact that he repeatedly bullied me, I still love him. Despite all the pain, I still can't leave him.

I went to the garden and lay down on the grass. My heart sank and I just wanted to cry. It's like this, I'm not used to it.

"Yes, I'm no longer v!rg!n when we first..." I whispered to myself while sobbing.

You don't know anything...you don't know everything..

I thought my life would change when you came, I thought the weight I was carrying would be reduced, I thought you would save me from the nightmare I was trying to escape from.

I bit my lower lip, I feel like I'm going to run out of breath because of that.
