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!

Breakfast in Front of the TV

So much for sending Rosie to prep dinner. King and I slept through the night. At least, I assumed King slept through the night. He was still in bed when I awoke with my head on his shoulder.

"How did you sleep?" King asked.

That was my cue to slip back to my side of the bed as if it were a natural progression and not me avoiding King's touch. Which I wasn't, only I was.

"Good. You? Are you in pain?"

"Not bad. I should eat before I take more pills, right? Bad for my stomach otherwise?"

"True."

"Would you mind helping me up? I'd like to brush my teeth first."

"Oh, sure."

The hardest part was getting King upright. Something about raising to a sitting position caused King's injury to throb.

King was able to take care of his needs in the toilet area while I stayed near the sink, putting toothpaste on his brush, filling his water glass, and laying out a warm, wet washcloth.
