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!

Unexpected Visitor

I had time for a nap before King awoke. Good. My thoughts were much clearer now. I should be celebrating. While we didn't have evidence of Lettie's crimes in the last couple of years, we had enough to send to the police as soon as we reconstructed it. It should provide enough information for the cops to secure a search warrant for the Heavenly estate for the missing pieces.

King was, in essence, a hero. True, he was a messed-up hero who needed a cocktail of drugs to find reality again, but the end result was the same.

"You're still here," King said as soon as he opened his eyes and saw me.

"Yes, I promised I would be. How are you feeling?"

"I've been better."

King looked around his hospital room. He raised his arm and checked out the bandages. In his other arm, an IV tube attached him to a bag hanging from a rack.

"What happened?" King asked.
