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!

The Climb

Alec left most of what he brought with us, taking just what he needed to set up safety lines at the top, a chalk bag, which he explained helped with grip, and the blue chalk he'd mentioned earlier.

He cleared the rock debris where it appeared the cliff had once exploded to the surface, leaving behind the ravages of its brutal birth. Alec stood at the base of the rock wall, judging the best place to start.

Alec leaped up and grabbed hold of a crevice in the stone about three feet over his head. With ease, he pulled himself up until he could contort his body enough to hook a foot over the same ledge.

Step one was completed, and so ended my comfort level with watching someone I cared about risking his life. From this point on, if he fell on the sharp rocks below, he could be seriously injured.

What possessed him to risk his life like this? Most people spend a lifetime avoiding risk. Here, Alec faced it head-on and willingly.
