She remembered being drugged. Now, though, she was lying here in bed with Anne, safe and sound. Aside from a bit of lingering dizziness, her body felt fine. She wasn’t sure what had happened while she was out, but Felicia was pretty sure it was Max who brought her back. She didn’t think too much about it. For now, she just hugged Anne tightly, holding her close as the sky slowly lightened outside.
Anne started to wake up, rubbing her eyes. When she saw Evelynn watching her, she gave a sleepy little smile. “Good morning.”
Felicia brushed Anne’s messy hair back and kissed her on the forehead. “Good morning, sweetheart.”
Anne perked up right away, lifting her little face and planting a loud kiss on Felicia’s cheek. The two of them stayed curled up together, not in any hurry to leave the warmth of the bed.
“You fainted last night. Daddy carried you home,” Anne said.
Just as she thought. It had been Max. So he saved her. Felicia didn’t need much imagination to figure out who was behind what happened last night, and she guessed Max probably had his own suspicions too.
The door creaked open. Felicia looked up and saw Max walk in. He glanced at her.
“Daddy!” Anne scrambled off the bed, stepping over the soft blankets and reaching out her arms. Max came over, picked her up, and tossed her gently into the air a couple of times. Anne’s laughter filled the whole room, bright and happy.
Max gazed at his daughter with so much warmth in his eyes it almost hurt to watch. Felicia leaned back against the headboard, taking it all in.
“Alright, that’s enough,” Max said, setting Anne down. “Time to wash up and get some breakfast.”
Anne ran back over and cuddled into Felicia’s arms. “Evelynn, are we getting up now?”
Felicia stroked her hair. “Get ready with daddy first. I’m going to rest a little longer.”
She could still feel the effects of the drug; her head was a little heavy and slow.
“Then I’ll stay with you,” Anne mumbled.
A short while later, the maid brought breakfast and some medicine. Felicia took the medicine and actually started to feel a bit better. After she and Anne got dressed and were about to go downstairs, her phone rang.
She answered, “Luke?”
“Felicia,” Luke said, “how are things going with you and Anthony?”
“Everything’s fine. We signed the contract yesterday.”
“When are you coming back?”
“We’ll head back after Heather’s grandfather’s birthday banquet in two days. By the way, how’s my brother doing?”

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....
