What Does The Kettle Calling The Pot Black Mean

At a young age, Faerie White feels less than free. As the oldest daughter of the struggling White family, she is used to being trampled on by her powerhungry father, her jealous stepmother, and her wicked half-sister-all those would-be conquerors within the family. With her dear mother literally hanging onto life and with imminent financial ruin hovering over the family like a dark storm cloud, Fae is given an icy ultimatum: either marry a notorious first-class playboy or subject her own mother to wait until medical attention comes to a standstill. But then, life has a different direction that it can take her. Richard Gold is the wheelchair-bound heir no one takes seriously. Fae sees something else in him: a man with fire behind those silent eyes. In an offer that has him proposing a marriage of convenience and also offering to cover her mother's medical expenses, Fae produces a life-altering decision. What she doesn't expect, however, is that Richard's secret power isn't the hobbled recluse that everyone assumes that he is. He hides from a world that determines his worth purely based on his status as the secret power behind a multi-billion empire. Unknowingly, Fae has married the king of it all. As she evolves from drowning daughter to dominating wife, Fae learns to wield power in her own right. Taking on corporate espionage, family betrayal, and identity theft in the heat of a high-end kitchen. Through love, lies, and freedom wars, she destroys all the lies that once chained her down. But when the ultimate secret drops-about her real father and the fortune she is about to inherit the enemies come rising from every corner and even love will have to be put to the test.

On Christmas Day, eight months pregnant, I struggled through the kitchen,cooking for my husband and his secretary. When I finally sat down, hoping to taste a piece of turkey I didn’t even get during Thanksgiving, my husband shoved me aside like I was nothing. He slid the turkey in front of his secretary instead. “Alison,you’re already so fat. Stop eating. Let Daisy have it—she deserves to enjoy your cooking.” Daisy，chewing on the turkey I had painstakingly prepared, had the audacity to mock me under the guise of playing truth or dare with my child. “So, what do you think your mom looks like?” “Mommy looks like a fat pig on a farm!” “Her stretch marks? They’re like disgusting worms crawling all over her. Even Santa would run for his life!” Their laughter erupted like daggers piercing me from all sides. Humiliation and rage burned through me as my dignity was stripped bare. I demanded an apology from that vile woman, but my husband—my husband!—turned his cold, cruel face toward me and said, “Get out of here.” Pregnant, exhausted, and humiliated, I stood there in shock. Then I snapped. I grabbed the Christmas cake and turkey and threw them in the trash. I walked out without looking back. This wretched family doesn’t deserve a second of my effort or a single ounce of my love!

*****Trigger Warning***** This book contains mature themes, physical, sexual and emotional abuse. My name is Lillian Blackwood. I thought my life was over. I had been beaten down and controlled by my ex both emotionally and physically for years. It was, do or die. Fortunately, I survived, and with therapy and time, I finally started some semblance of a life. The very last thing I was looking for was love. I hate dating, and quite frankly, I'm not a fan of men and who can blame me? I keep a very tight circle of friends, so I was surprised when love pushed and shoved its way into my life. But not all fairytales have happy endings, and my tale certainly gives happiness a run for its money.
