While I Was Bleeding Out, He Lit Lanterns For Her
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.On a quiet, summer night in Wragos, Rosalynn Fuller sat on the sofa in her home, browsing through some news on her phone.
"Brian Hughes, CEO of Hughes Group, attended a social event with the famous actress, Eleanor Hilton. They later retired to a hotel and spent the night together. Intimate pictures of the two have been captured..."
This particular article was among the trending topics online, and it spread all over the Internet like wildfire.
Rosalynn pushed her black-framed glasses against the bridge of her nose and peered at the photos published with the article, her face devoid of any expression.
The pictures were blurry, but one could make out the silhouette of a man and a woman kissing by the window.
This man, Brian Hughes, was none other than her husband, and the heir to the wealthiest and most influential family in the city.
He was a powerful man who had control over the economic lifeline of the entire city.
As ridiculous as it would sound to most people, Brian had never set foot in their home since they got married two years ago.
In fact, he hadn't even shown up when their marriage was registered.
Instead, he had sent his lawyer to represent him, completing the entire process by proxy.
Rosalynn was aware from the start that Brian was against their union.
The only reason he had relented was because of his grandmother, Debora Hughes.
By some twist of fate, Rosalynn's grandfather had once saved Debora. When she expressed her desire to repay him for the favor, he had boldly requested her grandson to marry his granddaughter in hopes of giving her a comfortable and carefree life.
At first, Rosalynn had harbored some hope for her marriage.
But over the last couple of years, Brian had constantly seen dating various actresses. It was more than enough to disappoint her and shatter her naive illusions.
Rosalynn pursed her lips as she finished reading the article, then she went over to her contact list, searched for Brian's number, and called him.
This was the first time she had ever called Brian.
Soon, the call connected.
"Hello, this is Rosalynn."
"Rosalynn? Which Rosalynn?"
Brian's voice was deep and smooth. Although his tone was unmistakably cold, listening to him was quite a pleasant experience.
His words, however, were another matter entirely. Rosalynn sneered and clenched her fingers tightly around her phone.
He didn't even remember his own wife's name.
"This is your wife. At least on paper, anyway."
"Ah. What do you want?"
Brian's tone became even colder.
"I want a divorce," Rosalynn answered as she jabbed her glasses against her face.

His Angel
"Anyone but not me?" His voice was filled with malice. "Not me, huh?" "Let's have some fun. I'll give you two options." He tilted his head and glanced at me. "Either be mine or get fired." He really had become the worst person. I had never even imagined in my dream that he would use my weaknes/0/73838/coverorgin.jpg?v=13386996a09e7a2f9334fc224055a59a&imageMogr2/format/webp)
