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!

Pool Room

"Bea, let it go," I said, but she didn't.

"Just how many visits to the reflection room did it take you to turn into a momma's boy? Oh, let's play a game. Is it higher or lower than the number it took King?"

Ben's features hardened, aging him from the young grad student he was to a world-weary middle-aged man.

"What does the reflection room have to do with Mom's money?"

"You tell us, Ben. We'd really like to know."

I put a hand on Bea's. "Let it go, Bea. Please. We don't know anything."

"What do you suspect?" Ben asked.

"It's nothing. Bea's drunk. I'll take her home now."

"Stay. King should hear this too."

"No, I think we should go. I've seen enough of King today. Take care of the bill, Ben, will you?"

"Not this time," Ben raised a hand and signaled someone to come forward.

I scanned the room, looking for who he signaled while trying to get Bea to her feet, but she was dead weight.
