The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 143
It looked like Max really had just been served the divorce papers. Thinking back on the way he read them, Felicia could only guess he was laughing at her for thinking she could win this fight. She got into her car without another word.
Lunch with the crew was a blur. Afterward, she headed back to the office, but she couldn’t focus at all. The whole afternoon, Felicia just sat there, lost in her thoughts, Anne’s face popping up in her mind again and again. She’d spent years avoiding Anne, staying away from Max, all because she was scared she’d lose control if she saw them. Now, though, she couldn’t outrun it anymore. The longing was too much, and she knew she had to deal with it, somehow.
She’d made plans to grab drinks with Savannah that night, but Savannah had to work late, crunching for a deadline. Yara wasn’t feeling well, and Heather was tied up at home with her kids. So Felicia ended up at the bar on her own.
FC Bar was one of the most exclusive spots in the Capital, all polished wood and brass, the kind of place where the city’s elite came to unwind. Felicia found a seat at the bar and ordered two whiskeys, back to back. The warm, golden light from the overhead lamps made the bar glow, and the ice in her glass clinked softly as she took a long, steady drink. She tossed back one glass, then another, not even flinching at the burn.
She still wore her business suit, looking out of place among the designer dresses and tailored jackets around her. But Felicia’s beauty drew attention anyway. With a hint of tipsiness in her eyes, she had an effortless charm that made people stare.
From the plush booths, a few men watched her, their interest obvious. She pretended not to notice.
Upstairs, on the second-floor balcony, a tall man leaned over the railing, half-hidden in the shadows. In the low light, his sharp features looked even more striking. He stood perfectly still, his eyes fixed on Felicia at the bar below, dark and unreadable, lost in his own thoughts.
Back at the bar, a man with a drink in hand made his way over and slid into the seat next to her. “Max!”
Max pulled his gaze back and turned to Wyatt.
“Man, it’s getting harder and harder to get you out these days. What, you’re not glued to Anne for once?” Wyatt teased with a grin.
Felicia didn’t hesitate. She grabbed the nearest bottle and smashed it over his head.
In one of the private rooms, Max and Wyatt were just settling in with Kennedy. They were catching up, drinks in hand, when the manager rushed in, looking worried. After a quick greeting, he got straight to the point.
“Kennedy, there’s trouble downstairs. Mitch just got hit.”
Kennedy’s expression turned serious. He glanced at Max and Wyatt. “I’ll go check it out.” He left with the manager, and Wyatt followed, curiosity getting the better of him. “Let’s see what’s happening.”
Downstairs, Mitch pressed a towel to his bleeding forehead, eyes burning with rage as he glared at Felicia, who sat at the bar, completely unfazed, sipping her drink. He shouted at the security staff, voice shaking with anger. “What are you waiting for? Grab her!”

Is this coming to an end...
Oh nooo!! Don’t tell me Max will get washed ashore on a remote island then loses all his memory, then falls inlove with the local girl who saves him. Then when he meets Felicia again he won’t recognize her and breaks her heart again. Additional plot twist is that Felicia is pregnant with their 2nd child. Please pleaseee don’t give us this scenario.. LOL!!!...
If Max can be forgiven Darrin can be forgiven. And I do not like this marriage business but if it has to happen I hope after he gets stranded on some remote island alone while Felicia and his family fight over custody she wins and also gets half his estate. Then by time he comes back she's found having and remarried. Lol...
The writer is good. They're making me interested in Max. I won't say like yet....
It seems the only one who hasn't suffered is Max. Even his family fakes anger and disappointment all their own doing so they suffer a little. Everyone else has suffered. Luke and Jeremy unrequited. Felicia has suffered the most from family to unrequited to romance to long suffering Mother. Even baby Anne never had a mother til Felicia suffered then came back only to suffer some more. lol...
Oh no what did Colton do?... I have a bone to pick. When Olisha had to go the hospital why beg for Felicia? When she so loved Max? Seemed like she was in on the setup for Felicia to see a suicide for the 2nd time orchestrated by holden and his brother again. I might drop this series it's becoming endless with no real satisfaction for me. I don't need it to end because it's like a soap opera but if things don't end up making sense, tying up loose storylines it's gonna get old fast for me. Good luck author....
Anne, I think your baby brother is on the way. Thank goodness it doesn't say that Felicia is crying just like the last time but still, there's no willingness on her part. Max! You need to try harder. Make her fall in love with you again....
The writer did a big one with Jeremy's speech to Max. He said almost everything that needed to be said. I have wanted Felicia or someone who knows the past to just tell that whole stinking family what they did and how disgusting they are and what they're doing now how unfair it all is to Felicia. A pity it was only Max but he really needed to hear this (plus more)....
I love the chase of this novel, how you’ve build each of the characters. They almost seem like real. I feel like I know them irl. But however I would like to know what’s max’s pov and what’s going on in his head. I truly believe max’s just a grey character. And also please please please update more!!!...
I was really hoping that Max and Felicia would end up together, but why did Max do that to Felicia? 😭 Is that his way of making Felicia overcome the trauma Holden caused her? I don't think that's helping at all. I just hope Max's character has some redeeming qualities in the coming chapters....
