Dear Ex Wife Please take me back by The Every Woman

ATHENA

One week later....

"Do you know what this is?"

"I plead the fifth." I respond head on.

He ignores me.

"It's a document signed by Alexander King, stating he doesn't want it to be used on him no matter what!. This is the very drug that you used in surgery!"

"His family consented. I consented." I respond in an irritated tone.

Anger bubbles inside me. My son is scared and has caught on that something is wrong. They keep calling me to the prosecutor's office, detective center etc, the hospital refuses to back me up. Alex's father made sure I'm not detained and promised to handle this. The only reason I'm not currently wearing an orange suit is because of his power and influence.

"Who are you to consent?" The detective asks, but I refuse to answer. "You're not legally allowed to do that!" he snaps. "You're not his wife, next of kin, nor power of attorney. You had no right!"

"Maybe I am his wife. How do you know I'm not?" I raise a brow.

Well, I'm his ex-wife. But he doesn't need to know that.

"Trust me, we would know." He responds coldly.

My eyes fall to his chest so I can read the name of his badge.

"Detective Burner. Right?" I give him the most chilling smile I can summon and lean forward, "I'm pretty sure you heard me when I said his family consented, right?"

He sighs, leaning back with irritation marrying his features, " His family may have agreed. That may be the case, but Alex is a public figure, and the Quinns Medical hospital is answerable for each action. They have no say in this, and the law will take action!"

"I pretty sure we've established the fact that I don't give a shit." My patience starts running thin, and courage starts babbling inside me like I've been possessed.
