Apartment 46

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.

In the presidential suite of Resch Hotel.

"Aaah..." The sharp pain made Sophia Jian gasp out. On a hindsight, it made her hazy mind a lot clearer. She clenched her teeth as she tightly grabbed onto the sheets.

As she tried to endure the pain, Sophia Jian opened her heavy eyelids. A handsome looking man came into her view!

He was the head of the largest financial group, the most powerful man in S City -- Victor Xiao!

'What's going on? Where am I? Why am I having sex with this man?!' Scouring her memories, Sophia Jian remembered that she went to the engagement party of Jasper Lin and Alice Ye. Alice Ye was the daughter of the prominent Ye family. After Sophia Jian had a glass of wine with Alice Ye, she was molested by Wade Kang and they started to fight. Wade Kang was publicly shamed and after that... 'After that...

Damn it! I can't remember what happened next!'

"Humph!" All of a sudden, Victor Xiao had leaned in and kissed Sophia Jian on her soft lips. With her eyes narrowing angrily at him, Sophia Jian bit down hard on his lips.

The metallic taste of blood spread through her tongue.

Victor Xiao pulled back immediately, a surprised look in his eyes.

There were countless women who tried to seduce him and get his attention. Despite this, he had never given them more than a split-second glance. How could this woman under him drive him crazy like this!

'This woman makes me feel.... pretty damn good!' Victor Xiao thought with a devilish smirk.

"Get off of me!" Sophia Jian screamed. 'I've been in love with Peter for such a long time and I didn't even give myself up to him yet! And now this stranger is going to take my virginity!' Sophia Jian panicked.

With all her strength, she tried to get out of Victor Xiao's grasp. But he was much too strong for her. Victor Xiao had her firmly pinned down on the bed. Sophia Jian shouted in frustration, her beautiful face flushed with anger and shame.

"Get off?" Victor Xiao said coldly, making Sophia Jian tremble in fear.

"If you stop right now, I... We can just pretend that nothing ever happened!" The moment she said this, Sophia Jian instantly regretted it. It was obvious that Victor Xiao was completely at fault here. Why should she be the one to give compromises?

"What if I don't?" Victor leaned in closer, his hot breath grazing Sophia face.

"Then I... Uhhh... I'm going to... I'm going to sue you!" Sophia stammered, trying her best to threaten him. However, Victor noticed how jittery Sophia was with her threat.

A cruel and scornful smile made its way to his thin lips. "My name's Victor," he said beside her ear in a low voice. "Remember that. You are mine now."

In one swift movement, Victor pressed into Sophia, completely taking over her.

The night grew deeper, and the sounds of their lovemaking filled the luxurious presidential suite.

Sophia's body was worn out through the whole night by Victor!

It wasn't until dawn that Victor finally had enough. Sophia felt so exhausted that she slept until noon.

When she woke up, she found herself alone in the big room.

Fluttering her eyes open, Sophia could feel just how much her entire body was aching. Sitting up, she rubbed her temples, her head was also aching quite badly. After a few moments, memories of last night came flooding back to her. "Victor... That fucking bastard!" Sophia grabbed a pillow and screamed into it.

After about few minutes of letting out her anger, she started to feel a bit better. With a deep breath, she stood up to get dressed. Much to her surprise, there was a newly bought dress carefully placed at the edge of the bed. And then, on the floor next to her feet, she saw that the evening dress she was wearing last night was torn into pieces!

Sophia gritted her teeth. 'Well, it's no wonder he bought me new clothes. He completely ruined my dress from last night! What a violent man!'

With nothing else to wear, Sophia put on the clothes Victor prepared. Obviously she wasn't able to come home after she got into that fight with Wade Kang. 'Dad must be worried about me, ' Sophia thought.

Just as Sophia was about to go to the bathroom to freshen up, her phone rang.

Sure enough, it was her father calling.

"Where are you?" Caspar Jian said each word slowly, trying to suppress his anger.

His anger was nothing new to Sophia. Caspar Jian seemed to have never been nice to her in the first place.

Sophia frowned, but kept a calm and modulated tone. "I'll be right there. I'll tell you all about it when I get back."

After washing up, Sophia grabbed her handbag and headed out the door. Upon opening it, however, she was surprised that two waiters were standing right outside. One was pushing a fining cart, while the other balanced a silver tray on the tips of his gloved fingers. "Miss Sophia, Mr. Victor prepared this for you," one of the waiters said with a smile.

Glancing at the sumptuous and extravagant food in the cart, Sophia sneered, "Mr. Victor is really kind, but he's too full of himself!"
