Married To The Arrogant Billionaire

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.

"Sis, wake up, it's late" a voice yelled disturbing my peaceful sleep.

I turned over the bed squeezing my pillow over my face.

"Please leave me, just two more hours" I muttered

" Sis!!!, It's past eight" the voice yelled again and I jumped up immediately.

" Sh*t" I cursed silently scrambling out of bed.

"What the h*ck Jason, why didn't you wake me on time" I groaned walking towards my bathroom.

" I did, but you were all *two more hours please* " Jason replied in a mocking tone.

" I'll get you later, just go get ready" i replied and shut the bathroom door before he could utter a word.

"I already did, waiting for you to let me get out of the house" he yelled back.

" Give me ten" I yelled back and turned on the shower.

I quickly had my bath.

I got out of the bathroom about ten minutes later, applied my lotions , put on my clothes, a white big tee shirt, and faded blue boyfriend Jean.

I sat on my bed and tied my lace.

I glanced at the wall clock.

"Gosh!, I'm 35 minutes late, Mrs C is gonna cut off my head for sure" I muttered grabbing my school bag which was left open, I hurriedly placed my phone into the bag and zipped it.

I was about walking out of the room when I realized I was still on my hair bonnet.

"Gosh, what the heck is wrong with me today, first I woke up late , now I forgot to comb my hair" I groaned inwardly

I quickly rushed to my dresser , removed the bonnet and combed my hair neatly.

I applied my hair lotion and packed it in a ponytail leaving two tendrils by both sides of my head.

I looked at myself in the mirror, satisfied by my looks I bolted out of my room.

"Finally" Jason groaned when I got to the living room.

"Had breakfast?" I asked walking into the kitchen.

"Yes, I left some toasts for you" he replied.

I nodded and opened the refrigerator, I took out a cup and a jar of orange juice, poured myself one cup and gulped it down at a go.

"Common let's go" I said shutting the door.

"We haven't prayed yet" he gave me a frown.

We said the Lord's prayer .

"We are so late" I muttered as we got into a cab.

"Not my fault" he muttered

Yeah, that's just basically how we live.

My parents had died in an accident three years ago and the 14year old me was left with a nine year old Jason, and our mini apartment.

Since then I have been trying to make ends meet all alone, my mother's relative had helped when my parents just died but immediately I turned sixteen it was just me and Jason.

It hasn't been easy but with God's Love we have been able to live comfortably.

"Okay now Jason, bye , you might probably not meet me at home , so here's the key" I said when he got out of the cab.

I handed him the key.

"Okay sis, bye" he blew me a kiss and walked into the school.

" Let's go sir" I said to the cab man.

He nodded and drove off towards my college.

I'm just so happy that I got a scholarship in college and most things I need are taken care off , if not , I don't know what might happen

Some hours later.....

"Girl you are so lucky Mrs C didn't see you" Nora said immediately we got into the school cafeteria.
