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!

Comforting Teela

King

King was pained that Teela thought so little of him. He never saw her as furniture. Did he really come off like that?

He wanted to give Teela what she needed, but he wasn't sure how to take care of someone. Everyone had catered to him since he became an adult and took over the business.

When Teela began crying, King wasn't sure how to comfort her. She'd made it clear she didn't want him around her. But he was the only one around. He'd been surprised that she had allowed him to help her with her jacket and shoes.

It had been years since he'd comforted anyone. Not since Ben was little. He searched his memories for what had worked with Ben, but he didn't think playing with racecars or sneaking snacks in after bedtime would do the trick with Teela.

"Teela, wait here. I'll be right back."
