Wife’s Bitter Revenge Against Neglectful CEO Husband

Teela married King Heavenly because she loved him, but life in the Heavenly household was anything but euphoric. Lettie, her hard-as-nails mother-in-law, treats her like an unpaid servant. The family treats her like an outsider. King treats her like a shadow, transparent and forgettable. When Lettie presses Teela to prove her value to the family or get out, Teela has a decision to make. But she’s not leaving without a fight. King Heavenly rules Heavenly Industries with an iron fist, but he leaves his home life to his mother to manage, and that includes the management of his boring little wife. Teela has never complained. She’s never done anything interesting, for that matter. She’s just one more responsibility in a long line of responsibilities that King shoulders on a daily basis, and that is exactly how he treats her — as a responsibility that he’s delegated to his mother. Suddenly Teela steps out of the shadows and into a fight with him and his whole family, and King is baffled by the ruthless actions of his now daring wife. He’d always heard that vengeance is a dish best served cold, but Teela is coming in hot!

Dinner Dilemma

I didn't know what to say. What not to say. I wanted Alec in my life, but if I'd learned anything recently, it was that secrets destroyed more than they protected.

I pulled my hands away from Alec and turned away, but Alec wasn't having it. He came around the table to sit beside me as I stared at my hands and tried to gather my thoughts.

"Hey, Teela, look at me."

I obeyed in slow motion.

Alec took my hand. His hand was so warm and comforting on mine. "I'm your safe place, Teela, no matter what you say. Unless you've killed a man, I can handle anything. I'm that man, and I'm so into you already that I'd probably visit you in prison if you did kill someone.

I could see the truth in his eyes. Alec meant every word he said, whether he could live up to them later or not.

Still, I couldn't bring myself to start, so I did the next best thing. I pulled up the video of the press conference and handed the phone to Alec.
