If the World is Ending

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.

There was a girl whose complete shut-in and otaku- for all sorts of kind in entertainments when it comes into anime, manga/manhwa/ webtoon, games, drama, novels, and so.

Yet, unfortunately the bombing attacked killed her while dining in a high-end restaurant.

That how was my previous life go and goes in a blinked of an eye.

I do not have any idea how long it has been since those memories rushed in my mind without a warning.

I stared at the familiar reflection in a mirror, blinking for many times, a youth looking sixteenth years old with messy long black hair, crimson pair of eyes looking swollen from all night crying, an average beautiful haggard face and this worn out red colored old dress.

It reminded me.

I'm certainly the lady of an impecunious household named Maria Ebillish, another bastard daughter of Lord Hellethe.

I feel like swallowing hard against the knot in my falling stomach when a harsh realization slapped me.

Due to the fact that this reality I live in are just my own fictitious novel created. Such with another title "Priestess Lover's Diary", it is a romantic story set in the fantasy world and look like Victorian Era where nobility and royalties are important role in the society.

The protagonist is a beautiful, kind hearted commoner who has majestic power which made her to study at the Mahika Academia.

After that, she fell in love with the beautiful Crown Prince.

They struggle side by side and become a very powerful couple in Misterilia's kingdom.

On the other hand, those people who opposed them were punished severely, for example a villainess character under the name of mine.

I, Maria, am one of the chosen villains who harassed and trampled the heroine's face.

As believed to love the crown prince tenderly and had done many evil deeds of nature.

She was kicked out of the school, then abandoned by her family.

For her punishment, she is ordered to marry the cold-hearted and a black belly young man-Duke of Slendlock, the only person who has burned her alive to death.

Which is me–notheneless!

No way!

As far I could remember, I am that too much.

I met this heroine a lot and I had no memory of bullying her.

Perhaps I admonished her when it came to the welfare of the crown prince, and yet I was utterly humiliated at the ball.

Those people charged me with the threatening and plotting to kill the female protagonist for the sake of proclaiming unrequited love and a grave crime of stealing the crown prince Heart crest.

Thereafter, I was abandoned by my family after hearing the scandal news.

Our household loses face to the Nobility and His Emperial Majesty Ru Shang of Misterilia condemned me with a noble cause to be exiled but Her Majesty the Empress suggested another idea.

It's a proposal to marry the infamous duke...

Without any title to hold it is the only option I can have to prevent myself living in a different country or died from starvation in the cold streets of the capital city.

At first, I'm honestly planning to use this Duchy governor for my insurance, until today, the sudden thunder from a clear sky changed all of my uncalled thoughts.

Solemnly, I wonder maybe if these memories are more triggered earlier in my younger years, there is the possibility of changing the path of this character.

Then I'm not dropped to this position.

But it's too late for crying about spilled milk.

I used to be modern female and an aristocrat at Earl's house now.

I know this wouldn't be easy at the start, but there is no way I will let myself to die or be bullied by what I just created.

Shameless woman!

You wretch lady!

A villainess!
