The Ugly Wife’s Stunning Comeback (Felicia and Max) novel Chapter 806
Felicia jolted in sheer panic. Turning around, she saw the man striding into the steamy room. Terrified, she quickly spun away, crossing her arms over her chest while blindly reaching for the towel on the rack. But before she could even take a full step, a strong arm effortlessly snaked around her waist.
In the next second, she was pulled against a broad, scorching chest. Even through the thin fabric of his clothes, his body heat felt intense enough to burn her damp skin.
"You... mmph!"
The man's kiss crashed down on her with frantic, ravenous urgency, completely invading her senses. His powerful arms locked her in an iron grip, making any struggle entirely futile. The man's presence grew heavier, his demanding aura overwhelming her completely. The water continued to cascade down, filling the air with thick, swirling mist. Felicia felt as if she were drowning in the depths of a dark ocean, entirely stripped of air.
"Max..." she gasped out his name, her voice weak, frail, and trembling uncontrollably.
Burying his face in the crook of her neck, the man could clearly feel her body shivering. He lowered his voice, coaxing her in a deep, hypnotic murmur. "Relax. I will not hurt you. Just slowly try to accept what your body feels. Do not be afraid."
His rich, velvety voice constantly whispered enchantments against her ear. Felicia's fingernails dug so deeply into his shoulders they nearly pierced his skin, and tears rolled uncontrollably down her flushed cheeks. Unwanted flashes of traumatic memories began violently flashing through her mind.
"No... please, no!"
But the man, entirely consumed by the moment, was far beyond the point of letting her go.
It was not until an hour later that the storm finally settled. Max gathered the exhausted woman into his arms and carried her to the guest bedroom next door.
The following morning...
"Daddy! Mommy!" Anne's bright, crisp voice shattered the tranquil morning silence.
Max's consciousness slowly drifted back.
Click.
The bedroom door opened. The nanny's nervous voice immediately followed. "Miss Anne, please..."
"You are awake." His deep baritone sounded noticeably softer and more gentle than usual.
Felicia let out a faint murmur of acknowledgment from the back of her throat, lacking the energy to even open her mouth to speak.
The man continued with his instructions. "Get up and have some lunch. And remember to drink your medicine."
Felicia remained silent and ended the call.
After hanging up, Max tossed his phone onto the desk. He looked across at the man sitting opposite him, a faint, mocking smirk playing on his lips. "Stop staring at me like that."
Darin sat there, his dark eyes narrowed into dangerous slits. His piercing gaze was locked entirely on the exposed skin at Max's collar. Clear teeth marks were visible on the side of his neck, along with unmistakable red bruises trailing down toward his collarbone. In an instant, Darin's expression darkened into a lethal storm. His fingers curled into tight fists, the veins on his forearms bulging against his skin as his breathing grew harsh and ragged.
Noticing the lethal glare, Max made absolutely no attempt to hide the marks. Instead, he stretched one arm casually across the back of the sofa, adopting a posture of pure, unbothered arrogance. Raising an eyebrow, he asked, "What is with that look?"

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....
