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!

Private Lesson

Bailing on my friends was especially tough after I shared the news King had texted me. Tomorrow morning, King would deliver Drake to the church. One more day, and Jake would be reunited with both of his boys.

It was a time for celebration. I should be there, but my head was with Alec, and I'd made a promise. I should keep it.

I held my breath as I opened The Red Dragon door. I could very well have read too much into Alec's innocent flirtation. He might not even be there, but I had hope. Worst case, I'd look like a fool. I'd been foolish before.

I took a strengthening breath and walked in. The dojang appeared empty with one exception. Alec sat in the middle of the mat. His legs were spread-eagle. He stretched to touch his toes to one side and then the other, pausing when he saw me.

Alec's face lit up with a smile. "Hi! Glad you could make it. I usually work out alone."

"Hi. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt."
