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!

Treasure the Win

The tug on my sleeve caused me to look down into the upturned face of an angelic cherub with big eyes. Beneath his eyes were dark circles that broke my heart.

I squatted down to his level.

"Where did you come from, little one?"

He pointed to the door marked 'Janitor'. "I hid."

"Smart thinking."

The boy looked familiar. And then it hit me in a flash.

"Are you Davon?"

The boy nodded once, and my heart skipped a beat.

Remembering Jake's admonition to avoid using names, I kept my voice low.

"Is your stepdad's name Jake?"

The boy's eyes grew even wider. "You know Jake?"

"Yeah, honey, I do. Jake is here to rescue you and Drake."

Davon teared up. "Drake isn't here. I haven't seen him in a long time."

I hugged Davon to me. "That's okay, Davon. We'll keep looking for him. At least we found you. That is a terrific start."
