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 Schumaker Sisters

I kept digging. It was close to midnight when I noticed the pattern we should have seen all along.

I'm not sure how many times my phone rang before it broke through my concentration. I picked up without identifying the caller, but my focus was still on Dorsey and Candice.

"Teela?"

"Teela?"

"Tee, can you hear me?"

"Um," I responded.

"Hun, I need more than that. Give me at least three words," Alec said.

"I'm alright. Bye."

I hung up. The Schumakers had income coming in from a side source. Each month, an additional payment hit the account, which was the exact amount of one of Candice's paychecks. It was spaced out, so the extra payment landed right about the same time as the rent payment while still being spaced out from her bi-monthly wages from her teaching job. That kept the account from spiking an unusually high, at least high, bank balance for the Schumakers.

The phone rang again.
