He remembered the time they’d bumped into each other on the golf course. Evelynn had accidentally hit Max, and even though Max didn’t say much right then, he was sharp with Felicia later on, when she hosted that financial summit. It was obvious there was some bad blood between them.
Felicia just smiled, calm and unbothered. “There’s really nothing going on between Mr. Hawthorne and me.”
Colt didn’t push. Still, he made it clear that the last two questions from her interview weren’t going to make it to print. He was firm about it.
Felicia knew better than to argue with him. “Alright, I understand.”
“Good. Go ahead and get back to work.”
She went back to her office and picked up right where she’d left off, not letting any of it get to her. A little while later, Savannah called.
“Felicia, I watched your interview today. You were amazing. You called out that jerk live on air. Too bad they cut the feed before we could see what happened next.”
Anyone watching could tell the broadcast had been switched at the last second. Felicia definitely hadn’t planned it all out.
“That was nothing,” Felicia said, brushing it off.
“Did Darin say anything to you after?”
“Nothing at all. He just walked out.”
“He probably didn’t know what to say. But what about Max? He’s the type to hold a grudge. You’re not worried he’ll try to mess with you?”
Felicia shrugged it off. “If he wants to blacklist me, let him try.”
Savannah laughed. “You really don’t care about anything, do you?”
“Guess not.”
Felicia didn’t notice any of the drama. She stayed busy at work until eight o’clock, only stopping for a short call with Anne. When she finished, she packed up her things and headed downstairs. A few employees were still at their desks, working late.
As she waited for the elevator, her phone rang again. It was Anne.
“Evelynn, are you done with work?”
“I just finished. What about you, Anne?”
“Come downstairs. I’m waiting for you in the lobby.”
Felicia paused, a little surprised. When she reached the lobby, she spotted Anne sitting on the couch, swinging her legs. Some of the employees couldn’t help but say hi to the cute little girl.
As soon as Anne saw Felicia, she hopped up and ran over. “Evelynn!”

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....
