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.

"Mum am off" Sylvia yelled and walked to the door.

"Won't you have breakfast?" Her mum, Mrs Blanco asked.

"No mum I will buy something later" Sylvia smiled.

"Okay and I wish you good luck on finding a job" Mrs Blanco said.

"Thanks mum, I love you" Sylvia blew her a kiss before going out of the house, she started heading for the bus station.

When she got to the bus station, she board the bus that was going to her direction.

After about thirty minutes, the bus stopped and she got down, she started walking

then she saw a restaurant and decided to have breakfast so she went in and sat on an available chair.

Immediately a waitress walked to her.

"Good morning, what will you like to have?" the waitress asked.

"Hmm...just get me Pastrami and some pickles with a bottle of water" Sylvia replied.

"Okay" the waitress nodded and walked away, she came back shortly with Sylvia's order before arranging it on the table.

"Thanks, please do you have any job vacancy in this restaurant?" Sylvia asked.

"No" the waitress shook her head.

"Okay thanks, how much is my bill?" She asked and the waitress told her the amount, she reached for her and brought out some cash from her bag before giving it to the waitress.

"Thanks and enjoy your meal" the waitress smiled before walking away, Sylvia started eating.

When she was done eating, she stood up and walked out of the restaurant, she began to walk again with the hope of seeing a job.

1:45PM

It was already noon and Sylvia had not seen any job.

She sighted a coffee shop so she started walking to it. When she got there, she walked in before going over to the counter, she ordered for expresso coffee and the waiter went to make it.

Minutes later, the waiter brought her order and gave it to her so she walked out of the coffee shop with the coffee in her hand.

Sylvia was still walking when a guy bumped into her and the whole coffee poured on her.

"Ah" she gasped. "I'm so sorry" the guy apologized and she looked up

but she was awestruck with the sight in front of her, a pair of blue eyes, tanned face and a well constructed jaw.

"Gosh..how can a man be so handsome, God really took his time in creating his face" She was still thinking when the guy tapped her and she came back to reality.

"I'm sorry for staining your shirt" the guy apologized again looking at her stained shirt.

"It's fine, I will just clean it" she said and reached for her bag, looking for her handkerchief when she realised it was not with her.

"Use this" he said, pointing a handkerchief to her.

"Thanks" Sylvia replied and took it but then she realised something so she looked up, it was the famous Damien Kings right in front of her.

"Oh my gosh! How could I have not realised he was the one earlier, I'm even holding his handkerchief" she was still thinking when Damien tapped her and she snapped out of her thoughts and started using his handkerchief to clean her shirt but it seems the stain will not clean off.

"I don't think the stain will clean, why don't I buy you another shirt? " he asked.

"No thanks" She smiled.

"Okay, so where are you heading to..maybe I can take you there since you refused me buying another shirt" Damien smiled.

"No need for that" Sylvia smiled back.

"There is need" he smiled.

"Okay, am going home" Sylvia told him cause she thought it would be better to go home rather than looking for a job cause of her ruined shirt.

"Okay, get in" he said and got in his car, Sylvia also went in and he ignited the car engine and started driving.

"So where is your place?" he asked.

"I will give you directions" Sylvia replied and looked outside the car window.

"Shit" Edward muttered staring at his wristwatch.

"Is anything wrong?" Sylvia looked away from the window and asked him.

"I'm sorry, I have got to pick my kids from school, it's past closing hour" Damien said.

"It's fine, let's go pick your kids first before you drop me off" Sylvia said.

"Thanks" Damien looked away from her and focused on the road while she continued looking out of the window.

Minutes later, they got to the school and Damien came out of the car, Sylvia also came out of the car.

"Daddy!" the youngest among the three kids shouted immediately she saw him, she started running to them which brought the attention of the remaining two to them and when they saw their daddy they also began to run to them.

"My baby Flora, how have you been?" Damien hugged the youngest known as Flora.

"Fine Daddy" Flora smiled.

"Hey dad" the boy among them known as Freddie, smiled.

"Hey little champ" Damien smiled and ruffled his hair.

"Dad you are late" the eldest among them whose name is Katherine frowned.
