AUTHOR NOTE: The first forty chapters are written in various points of view but often from a male perspective. This is story is a primarily female voiced story. After chapter 44 the split is about 90/10 female to male. The story arc demanded that the male characters are well fleshed out because most of the rest of the story is about the lead female and her story arc. I hope that helps to answer some questions.
"Yes, I want to talk about this now. I need to rest when we get home, Scott. I think I overdid it a little today." Ana told her husband seriously.
"Are you having contractions?" Scott looked at Ana alarmed.
"No, I just feel sort of off. A nap will help," she said, soothing his worry.
"Alright. Let's see. Judge Ridger signed the injunction and froze Coulter's assets straight away." Scott explained.
"You mean your pocket judge." Ana remarked snidely.
"Every powerful man needs a good judge willing to intervene when I am in the right, but Ridger wouldn't do anything if I was not on the side of right. I didn't buy a judge. I bought the convenience of quick attention from a judge by campaign donations." Scott told her calmly.
"So, what you did to me was right?" Ana scoffed.
