Kissing My Husband

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.

I grip his hand, letting him pull me down the trail.

Nerves flutter in my stomach, fingers quivering as I walk steadily along the path, trying not to stumble over and into the river below. The sound of the waterfall we walk toward roars in my ears, allowing my hurried breaths to go unnoticed to my recent boyfriend.

 This is going to be my first kiss. I've finally graduated high school only yesterday, and to celebrate, Alec has taken me down to the local waterfall to kiss me. We have been talking about this for weeks now, and it's finally happening with nothing to interrupt us. The snow crusted grass has me sliding uneasily down the path, Alec's steady hand guiding me toward the waterfall. The path falls behind it, sheltered by the rocks above. Shivering, I glance down into the water, the surging white foam from the falling water swirls tauntingly, shattering any chance of ice forming.

 "Do you think this is a good idea?" I ask, voice shaking as Alec pulls a stray tree branch out of the way, letting me step up it. He glances back at me, warm hazel eyes gliding over me as he pauses right at the side of the river, spray from the waterfall raining down upon us lightly.

 "Yes, of course. I come here all the time." "With other girls?" I question flatly, lips tilting up slightly. He tilts his head to the side, dark hair spilling around his ears as his eyes glitter enchantingly. He really is beautiful...

"No...Just you baby," he assures me quietly, not taking his eyes off mine. It's going to happen now. Suddenly nervous, I glance away, looking onto the other side of the river where a denser forest leads out of town. Out here, we are completely alone, but Alec and I have been dating for a while now, and I trust him. Not to mention, Alec is the most beautiful man to have come out of our school. So why am I so nervous? A shadowed figure suddenly passes across the corner of my vision, causing me to flinch. Narrowing my eyes, I concentrate on the tall trunks, seeing nothing but lush, snow topped vegetation. I release a long, so breath.

"It's so beautiful here." Alec reaches out to grip my chin, turning my to look at him, noticing how distracted I've suddenly become.

"Not as beautiful as you."
