"I can walk perfectly fine on my own," Felicia snapped coldly. She shot Jeffrey one last venomous glare before standing up and marching toward the door.
Just as she was escorted out, Jeffrey's assistant strode into the room, holding out a vibrating phone. "Sir, it is Mr. Hawthorne calling."
Jeffrey took the device, accepted the call, and brought it to his ear. "Hello," he answered, his tone smooth and unruffled.
"Jeffrey, you had better return her to me before tonight," Max growled through the speaker.
Jeffrey chuckled lightly. "Of course. You give me my person, and I will give you yours."
"It seems you really are infatuated with her," Max spat.
"I simply have no reason to let someone else keep what belongs to me," Jeffrey replied coolly.
Max's voice dropped to a lethal, icy register. "If she is harmed, do not expect me to show you any mercy."
Jeffrey tapped his fingers rhythmically against the armrest of his chair. "How deeply ironic. The woman you once despised so completely has now become the very weakness I can use against you."
His smirk deepened as he continued. "Do not worry. I guarantee she is perfectly safe. I merely invited her over as a guest. Whenever she decides she wants to leave, I will naturally let her go."
Max gripped his phone so tightly his knuckles turned white. "What is that supposed to mean?"
Jeffrey did not bother answering. He ended the call and handed the phone back to his assistant.
Meanwhile, back at the Ross estate, Ava was growing frantic. She had been waiting for Felicia to arrive, but her calls were going straight to voicemail. Pacing with anxiety, she contacted Darin and asked him to call Max. That was how Darin discovered that Jeffrey had intercepted Felicia on her way home.

Take her back? Want to see her?? Donno about Felicia but I think I’m falling for this Max somehow🫠🙈pls update daily...
I knew it! Hopefully Felicia's health will improve and will want to have the baby. Oh how I despise Max's family....
Please post *I forgot I ever loved you*...
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....
