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 k

  • Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back   Chapter 196 ~

    ALEX Growing up, I always thought emotions were overrated and a pain in the ass. I would never understand people who made decisions because they were happy or sad or in love.I hated it, so I made sure I never felt it. I had things I could tolerate, but like is a word far-fetched. Only my granny could melt down the walls even though my mother couldn't. It used to take effort though now I'm shocked that Athena breaks down every fucking wall I've built just by existing. She and this woman I'm holding onto are who taught me that loving was okay and emotions didn't make us weak, they made us human. “I'm so glad I got to see you fine one last time my precious boy. Now I'll be able to rest in peace.” My nana's wrinkled hands hold mine.“Don’t let Noah hear that, he will throw a fit. Sloane too.” I try to lighten the mood.She gives me a weak smile,“That brat has changed. He told me your father talked some sense into him and I'm glad. What happened to John was my fault. I should have see

  • Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back   Chapter 195 ~ Forever

    ATHENA Ever since I laid my eyes on this man, I've wanted him to be mine. I felt like I was out of his league, so even when I ended up marrying him, keeping our marriage a secret came as a relief. I was afraid of being judged. Being called not good enough, fat, gold digger, and all sorts of mean things people say online these days. But somewhere along the way, I learned that not everyone would love me or compliment my body. Not everyone will think I'm good enough to carry the King name. But those things don't matter because as I look at the man kneeling before me, every doubt disappears from my mind, making me feel like the most cherished and the most loved woman to ever walk the face of the earth. Somehow, my heart knows that the moment he opens his mouth, I'll melt into each word.“Athena,” His deep voice begins. His hand reaches for mine, sending shivers down my spine.His green eyes never leave mine, steady and glowing like embers in the dark.“I know I’m not perfect,” he say

    ATHENA“Where are you taking me?” I giggle as Alex holds me carefully, guiding me through the steps because of the blindfold over my eyes. “Patience baby.” His deep voice reaches my ears. I hear the soft crunch of grass beneath my heels, the chirping of crickets around us, and the faint sound of water nearby. My heart pounds not from nerves, but from the way his presence always seems to steal my breath.“I swear if you’re taking me into the woods to murder me-”“I wouldn’t make you wear your favorite dress if that were the plan,” he murmurs close to my ear, sending a shiver down my spine.We take a few more careful steps before he stops.“Alright,” he says softly. “You ready?”“I’ve been ready since you said get dressed.'” I grin under the blindfold.His fingers graze my cheeks, lifting the fabric with a slow tenderness that makes me hold my breath. And when the blindfold slips away-My heart stops.We’re standing by the edge of a calm, silver lake, stars above twinkling like a pr

    ATHENA“I'm pretty sure your lives have been boring without me!” Sloane says, making me laugh. “Your brain must be perfectly fine, seeing how you're spewing nonsense after just opening your eyes.” Alex says, trying not to sound bothered by I know better. I can see how relieved he is. I am, too. I mean, she took a damn bullet for me. I'm forever in debted to this woman. “Sloane…” I swallow the lump in my throat. Not knowing what to say.When Isabelle texted me that she had woken up, adrenaline pumped my system so hard I rushed forward without thinking about what I would say to her. “Who are you?” She eyes me, slightly narrowing her eyes. Of course, she forgot me. I mean I..“Girl! You look like a wet cat in the rain!” She laughs. “Stop giving me that look and give me a hug!” My eyes water as relief floods my system. “Sloane, if you make my girl cry, I'll make you pay for it!” Alex warns, making Sloane brush him off.“You love me too much to hurt me! Now move aside, I want to hug

    ATHENA"I'm so sorry about my stupid brother. His obsession with Alex got out of hand. He shouldn't have done that. If you want to kill him, you have my blessing," Ian says, and I smile.I do want to kill Arnold. But I've had enough blood on my name, and knowing Alex, he will just cause chaos. He's just like his father. I mean, we haven't heard from John or know where his wereabout are since we got the formula. But knowing Eli paid him a visit, I'm pretty sure he is on the other side. And by otherside, I mean the world of flowers where no living soul exists."Your mother will be so upset when she hears that," I say."My mother loves me. She’ll understand." He passes me a cup of coffee, then sighs.He looks like he’s deep in thought, pretty much his signature look. Alex once told me Ian is different from us. I didn’t understand it then, but now… I’m starting to see it.He processes feelings differently. Where we feel something at a ten, he feels it at a thousand.It explains the way h

  • Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back   Chapter 191~ Baby I'm yours

    ALEX “Did you kill him?” Athena’s sweet voice asks, her lips parted in disbelief. I glare at Luca, who is standing with a damn cigarette to his lips, and an annoying smirk.I should have killed this idiot. “Alex.” Athena repeats, and I pull her closer to me. “I didn't kill him, babe. Luca is an idiot you shouldn't take seriously.”“I'll have you know, your man is lying. He also beat me to a pulp.” He exaggerates. I grab a pillow and throw it at him. “Get the fuck out.”“See what I mean? So much temper.” Luca laughs.I shoot him a look that promises pain. He lifts both hands in surrender but doesn’t lose the damn smirk.“Luca, stop provoking him!” Athena shakes her head. Before turning to face me, “Isabelle told me he's in a comma, Alex. What did you do?” There is disapproval in her tone and I don't like it. Especially that she easily forgave him and is even defending him.I sigh and pull her closer to me, my hand cradling the back of her head. Her scent grounds me. Reminds me wha
