The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 397
“Max, you can’t control my life,” Felicia said, her voice sharp.
A faint, icy smile played on Max’s lips. “If I can’t, who can?”
Felicia glared at him, her frustration simmering just beneath the surface.
Max met her stare, calm and unbothered. “You’re thinking about selling your shares in Northstar Dynamics. Someone will take care of it for you.”
So, he already knew everything.
Without another word, Max turned and headed upstairs, leaving Felicia alone on the couch.
She tried to turn on her phone, but it wouldn’t even power up. When she asked a maid if she could use the house phone, the woman told her it wasn’t working.
Jeremy and Luke were probably out there right now, searching for her. But she was pretty sure they’d already figured out who had taken her away.
On the drive in, she’d noticed just how tight the security was. It wouldn’t be easy for anyone to break in, and with no car and her bum ankle, she wasn’t getting out anytime soon. She’d be stuck here for at least a few more days, until her foot healed.
Max wasn’t letting her go, and there was no point in fighting him now. She’d only make things harder for herself.
She couldn’t help thinking about that phone call between Max and Holden. She didn’t believe for a second that Max was doing this to protect her. This was all because of Anne. Still, at least she was safe from that psycho for now.
A maid brought her to a bedroom on the first floor and set her bag down.
“Someone will bring you a change of clothes soon,” the maid said quietly. “Please wait a moment.”
After that, the maid left, shutting the door behind her.
That night, Felicia barely slept. The unfamiliar room, the emptiness of the house, and the absence of anyone she trusted made her feel restless and uneasy.
When she opened her eyes the next morning, her head was heavy and she felt completely drained.
A maid knocked and called her for breakfast.
“I’m not hungry,” Felicia said.
“Would you like me to bring something to your room?”
“No, thank you.”
The maid didn’t argue or try to convince her, just left her alone.
He raised an eyebrow. “Why are you staring at me?”
She frowned. “Why did you bring cake?”
“To look at,” Max replied, his tone dry as ever.
Felicia rolled her eyes. Was he trying to be funny or just annoying? She turned back to the TV, determined to ignore him.
Just then, Max took out his phone and called someone on video. The call connected almost instantly. It was Anne.
“Evelynn!” Anne’s voice came through the screen.
Felicia reached over and took the phone from Max.
“Anne, can I talk to you alone for a minute?” she asked gently.
“Of course! I’ve been wanting to catch up with you, Evelynn.”
Felicia, clutching Max’s phone, headed back to her room for some privacy.

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....
