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.

"Let go of me!" Meg yelled, pulling her arms away from Natalie's grip.

Slap!

"How dare you disobey me? I paid your family well for this marriage and you must do as I say" Natalie retorted.

Meg's tender cheek burned and turned red. She gently caressed it with her smooth palm. Tears welled up in her eyes as she opened her mouth to defend herself, but Natalie did not give her such liberty.

"What? Say one more word and I will send you to the grave" he shrieked. 

He held her tiny arms tightly and squeezed them so that she had no room to escape.

 Meg sobbed, the pain was unbearable, but there was no way she could fight back considering the manner he clutched her arms.

"You are hurting me, Natalie" she whispered

"I can as well have you killed, and your parents will do nothing about it. Cross my line next time and you will have yourself to blame"Natalie sneered and shoved her hard. 

Meg didn't see that coming,  she had a great fall and almost broke her core.

"Ouch," she cried out, holding her hurting waist.

Not satisfied with his cruelty, he went after her again, this time determined to be more brutal with her.

Unfortunately, Natalie felt a strong arm clasp him up and smack his back hard on the wall that stood behind them before he could get near her. 

He waggled in an attempt to free himself from the intruder, but the stranger held him firmly. 

It was at this point that lightning glimmered and Natalie was able to get a peek at his cold and unfriendly face.

"Lay another finger on her and you will be a dead man," the stranger muttered coldly. 

His tone was void of any emotions, thick and dry was his voice. Cold chilly ran down Natalie's spine. Never in his life had he seen a man so intimidating with the allure of power and arrogance.

Glancing at his shivering body, the stranger shoved him hard, this made Natalie bang his ass on the ground. That was when he regretted bullying his wife outside the empty street.

The man then turned to Meg who was still whimpering on the floor and leaned to her level.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

Meg nodded her head. The man gently pulled her up to her feet.

"I will take you to the doctor,"  he whispered.

"No, thanks. I will be alright" Meg mumbled.

"Do you mind riding home with me?" He asked

"Don't worry, I will find my way home,"  Meg 

replied. Looking toward Natalie.

"Are you sure you want to be with him"? The man asked following her gaze
