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!

Thawing the Frozen

"It will give you time for the doctor to put a cast on your ankle and for you to catch up on work."

"And?"

"And I have a couple of projects I want to finish first. I need the closure to move forward."

Alec held up two fingers. "Two weeks. One day more, and I'll be on your doorstep again."

"Deal!" I held out my hand to shake.

The rest of the morning flew by as we prepared for Alec's departure. This was harder than I expected, but I put on a brave face. I suspected Alec was doing the same because he refused to look at me.

Too soon, Doctor Mark arrived. As soon as I heard the helicopter in the distance, I knew it was time. I helped Alec into the SUV for the short trip to the clearing.

My whole body ached as I tried to keep it together. I didn't want Alec's last memory of me to be me as a slobbering mess, begging him to stay. He deserved better.
