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!

Rat-astrophe

I pounded the floor with the half empty water bottle, hoping the violent noise kept the rats far away. Except the little guy whose life had ended early. He wasn't a threat.

I considered moving away from what I just knew was a dead body, but this corner was my territory. It felt important to keep it, to show them I'm capable of holding my own even if they ganged up on me.

Maybe the dead body would also feed their fear, and they would stay away. I didn't think so, though, because less and less time passed between my pounding the floor and when the scurrying sounded closer.

And it was time again. I beat the floor with the bottle, the sound reverberating through the room, until my arms ached. Soon, I would have to change tactics.

My stomach growled. It gave me an idea. The next time the rats came closer, I unwrapped a granola bar. I ate a bite and threw a bite across the room for my roommates to share. Another bite for me and one for them.
