Chapter 14 - Denise Calls Demanding Money For Her Medical Prescriptions
Late that afternoon, my phone rang with an unknown caller ID from a local pharmacy in their suburban neighborhood back home. I answered the call, and Denise's frantic, trembling voice immediately echoed through the speaker in high-pitched desperation.
“Olivia! Please, you have to authorize my prescription refill at the pharmacy; the pharmacist says my insurance card is invalid!” Denise cried out. “I need my blood pressure medication; are you trying to kill me over a silly argument?”
“You told me money doesn't make me important, Denise,” I replied calmly, sipping my hot tea by the penthouse window. “Surely a proud Sterling family matriarch can pay for her own medication without relying on a nobody like me.”

“Don't be heartless! Tyler is your husband!” she shrieked, losing her fragile composure completely. “Fix this right now or we will press criminal charges against you for abandoning us!”
I hung up the phone without another word and blocked the pharmacy's number from my device permanently.
