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.

On the bedside table in a big room, the phone kept ringing. It annoyed Anne Luo to no end.

She struggled to grab the sheets from under her body as she snapped at the man next to her, "Kevin Fu, you–" Before she could finish her words, the man made her groan in pleasure.

She didn't even have the strength to glare at him anymore as she gritted her teeth.

It was as if her entire body had softened underneath him like a bag of putty.

The man slowly got off of Anne's body. He smiled lazily before reaching out to pick up the phone on the bedside table.

"Honey, I'm coming soon. Are you waiting for me in the living room?" There was a short pause before he nodded. "I'll take a shower first, okay? Love you."

The man beside her was incredibly tall with a muscled physique. His tight muscles were charming and sexy, especially with the sweat running all over his skin. There was something about his eyes that was soft and kind. They were filled with love and affection,

but Anne Luo knew for a fact that those feelings weren't for her.

His tenderness only belonged to one person.

Hearing his sweet voice, she froze in an instant.

With a cold face, Anne Luo wrapped herself with the blanket that had fallen to the ground while Kevin Fu strode into the bathroom to take a shower.

The bathroom door was slightly open, and she could hear water pouring onto the tiles.

She stared at the room around her. All of the items were imported from D Country. That meant that every furniture here probably cost a fortune.

This was one of the rooms in the Fu Family's villa, but Anne Luo felt that the room was no different from all the five star hotels that she had been to.

"Go downstairs and take a photo for me." While she was too busy staring at her surroundings, Kevin Fu had already walked out of the bathroom after taking a shower.

His voice was indifferent, as if she was just another toy that he could mess with.

He actually despised her so much. Although she was his wife, he held no feelings for her.

The only reason they were together was to fulfill the obligation they had for each other. All she did was go to bed at this time of every day. It was clearly written on the contract that she must be pregnant with his child by the end of the year.

If she couldn't bear his child, then all her shares of the AN Group would be repossessed and she had no choice but to be kicked out of A City.

The AN Group was the top company on the Forbes List, soaring so high up that none of the companies could ever compare with it.

Its president, Kevin Fu, was a legend in the making. When he was just seventeen, he had already doubled the net worth of the AN Group, ranking it up from seventh on the Forbes List to first.

He was declared as the 'Man Women Most Want To Marry' three times in a row. He was also declared as the 'Legendary Man Across the Globe'.

Judging from the tone of his voice, Anne Luo knew that his sweetheart must already be waiting downstairs.

"I'm not a professional photographer," she said bluntly.

"I told you to do it, so you will." He glared at her. His eyes were as cold as night. "Are you really that stupid that you don't even know how to use a phone? Then maybe you shouldn't be Vice President of the An Group."

"You!" Anger boiled in her heart, and she gritted her teeth.

Without even casting her a glance, Kevin Fu strode out of the room. "Don't forget that you have dinner in the Cloud and Heaven tonight. If you were late and caused any losses, you will have to make up for all."

Staring at his receding figure, Anne Luo clenched her fists. For him, nothing was as important as his sweetheart.

Loosening her grip, she headed towards her wardrobe to get her clothes.

In order to get her shares, she needed to endure all of this, but was that really just her goal? Her heart trembled,

and her eyes glistened with sadness.

After a long time, Anne Luo quickly put on a long dress. Except for the small discomfort on her lower limbs, Kevin Fu didn't leave any trace on her body.

He disdained every time he did it.

If there wasn't a contract already, he wouldn't even want to touch her.

Bearing the pain in her hips, she went downstairs.

In the hall, Kevin Fu was taking photos with Cherry Ye, his beloved girlfriend.

Cherry was wearing a snow-white dress. It enveloped her figure perfectly, and it even highlighted her beautiful face.

They were a match made in heaven.

Just then, Kevin Fu saw that Anne Luo was already on her way down.

The smile on his face faltered. "What took you so long?" he snapped.

Anne Luo suppressed her anger. In reality, all she wanted was to hit the man on the face.

Cherry Ye, her cousin, was snuggled up in Kevin Fu's arms. She smiled apologetically at Anne. "It's Kevin who insisted on taking a photo of us together and posting it on our WeChat Moments. He said that he should post one on my birthday every year," she explained.

Anne didn't even care for the reason as she reached out her hand over to Kevin Fu. "Your phone."

Kevin threw her the phone before smiling dotingly at Cherry.
