The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 382
Holden pulled his eyes away from Felicia, a faint smile on his lips. “She’s a girl I want.”
The words hung in the air. Under the glow of the lights, Max’s eyes darkened, something shadowy flickering in them. “Is that so?”
Felicia slid into Luke’s car, her heart still pounding out of control. She had to sit quietly for a while before she could pull herself together. Luke waited until she looked a little calmer, then finally asked, “That was Holden, right?”
Back when everything had happened to Felicia, Luke’s company had been at its busiest. They’d barely spoken for over half a year. He didn’t even find out what she’d gone through until much later.
Jeremy had been in the States, handling Heather’s divorce, so he’d been the one at Felicia’s side. He helped her through everything, right down to the lawsuit that put Holden behind bars. Luke couldn’t believe Holden was already out.
The regret hit him hard. He kept asking himself why he hadn’t been there for her.
Felicia didn’t really need to say anything, her reaction said it all. What surprised him was that Max seemed to know Holden too.
Colton, Ava, and the others still had no clue what had really happened to Felicia in America.
Felicia leaned forward, pressing her fingers to her forehead as she let out a tired breath. She nodded weakly.
Luke noticed how exhausted she was and didn’t ask any more questions. He still didn’t know exactly what she’d been through. All he knew was that she’d spent almost six months in therapy before she started to feel like herself again.
Thinking about that made him grip the steering wheel tighter.
When they got back to the villa that night, Felicia still couldn’t sleep, even with the help of a few drinks. She kept slipping into nightmares. Every time she closed her eyes, she was back in that pitch-black room, trapped, forced to listen to those awful, disgusting sounds. That week had nearly broken her, body and soul.
She finally woke up late, sunlight already pouring through the window. It was ten in the morning.
Someone knocked at the door.
Felicia sat up in bed. “Come in.”
Luke walked in and, seeing how pale she looked, hurried to her side. “Did you sleep at all last night?” he asked, worry clear in his voice.
“Felicia, how do you know Gavin? Why is he being so helpful?”
She smiled a little. “We met during my PhD. He’s one of Professor Michael’s students too.”
Luke nodded, falling quiet for a moment. Then he asked, “So... have you decided when you want to head back home?”
They’d already been here for more than a week. They’d planned to stay for a month, maybe travel a bit after everything was sorted. But now, Felicia just wanted to go home.
“As soon as this is done, I want to leave,” she said.
Luke understood. He’d finished his own business here, so now he was just staying for her.
“Are you going to the office today?” he asked.
“I’ll head over for a bit after one.”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max)
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....
