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.

The European retro wall lamp was giving out a warm yellow light. On the bed was a pair of entangled lovebirds indulging in passion.

"Ethan..." The woman called out in a voice as gentle as the spring river!

"It's the 100th day today and the last day of our deal. Have me as you like!"

The man didn't reply but kissed her!

Soon the domineering man pressed her down on the king-size bed.

In the room, the vinyl record played the last note... and only their breathing could be heard.

Ethan Moore opened his eyes and looked at the stunner.

He felt both sad and satisfied!

"You look stunning from this angle!"

Ethan held her from behind. Jennifer Stewart nestled against his chest and flinched slightly.

In response to her tiny movement, Ethan immediately turned up the heat and tightened his arms, "Warmer?"

Jennifer hummed gently. Above her closed eyes, her eyelashes trembled slightly. The passion just now was so overwhelming that she couldn't speak a word.

She breathed quietly. The blush on her fair skin was like a rosy glow on the snow. Her wet hair and cherry lips added to her charm.

All of a sudden... the phone jingled. It was a push for Weibo trending topics.

They took their phones at the same time, but the pop-up message broke her heart.

Scalding tears instantly fell, but she fought them back in a few seconds!

"Today, Sarai, the young lady of the Gray family, openly proposed to Ethan, golden bachelor and CEO of Moore Group, at a luxurious cruise ship auction!"
