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!

Wife’s Bitter Revenge Against Neglectful CEO Husband

Lunch with King was a midafternoon affair at a restaurant King favored when we had dated. The food and atmosphere were pretentious, and the private dining room made me a bit uneasy. I wasn't afraid of King. He would never do anything to harm me intentionally, but I couldn't see Alec approving of me being locked away alone with my ex and his teenage rival.

Once the server set down the last dish and refilled our water, she disappeared and left us alone.

I wasn't hungry. How could I be after King's interruption last night? While it was exciting to make out on the streets for anyone to see, the one and possibly the only person I didn't want to see was King. I must have used up all my luck on finding Colby.
