LOGINJeremy immediately took up the topic. "So, what are you going to do this afternoon?" After giving Anne a quick glance, Felicia said, "Anne has an hour-long piano lesson. "We'll see where she and Yara want to go when she's finished. Jeremy nodded gently. Felicia's phone began to buzz at that moment. She got up from the table and went outside to answer when she noticed the caller ID. There was a voice. "Evelynn." Felicia was hired by a prestigious Wall Street financial firm two years ago, immediately following her graduation. A modest cosmetics firm that was having financial difficulties was one of her first ventures. The business was looking for investors. Felicia completed her studies, made revisions to their business plan, and turned it in, but her supervisor rejected it without hesitation.Felicia, however, had a strong faith in that business. She gave her dad a call. Colton simply sent over all forty million dollars in savings without saying anything. Colton got his first payout th
They arrived at the motel. With Anne's little hand securely in hers, Felicia entered the lobby. Two men were immersed in conversation up ahead. "Greg," she yelled. Darin and Greg had simply happened to cross paths. They exchanged a few courteous remarks despite the fact that they were more like rivals than friends. Felicia's words echoed across the foyer as they were finishing up. At the same moment, both guys turned. Felicia and Anne were illuminated by the sunlight coming through the large windows. They all had radiant, joyful smiles on their faces. Darin briefly had the impression that he was seeing someone he had known in the past. In his chest, something strange and piercing twisted. He was unable to identify it.Felicia approached without looking at Darin. Instead, she turned to face Greg. "Where are Mom and Dad, Greg?" Darin hurriedly smoothed up his countenance to hide whatever emotion he was experiencing. "Hello, Uncle Darin," Anne said in a kind and calm tone. With sympathet
"Five years ago, you left. Why have you returned now? Felicia came in, dropped her luggage, and settled into the couch. Tatiana frowned more deeply as she saw. Then, as composed as usual, Felicia spoke. "I'm here to get your son divorced. "Tatiana was unprepared. She didn't think Felicia would use the term "divorce" so bluntly. Tatiana became enraged at the nonchalant way she stated it. She chuckled icily. Divorce? Do you really believe you can take some of Max's money? Felicia remained unflinching. "Yes. I intend to take a minimum of one-third. Tatiana's expression went cold. "You have to be dreaming. "It's a legal entitlement. Felicia shot back, "Why wouldn't I?"Tatiana was breathing heavily and slowly as she fixed her intense gaze on her. "All right. Check to discover whether you have what it takes. You should make sure Anne never finds out who you are since you don't want to acknowledge her. Felicia said in a composed tone. "My daughter and I will discuss that. Mrs. Hawthorne, yo
Her phone buzzed as she drove to pick up Anne that afternoon. Gavin was the one. Max and Gavin were on a business trip in the United States. Gavin had offered her a ride a few days prior. She had declined him, claiming to be too preoccupied. "You're really callous. Gavin mocked, "My poor heart is shattered." She shot back, "Want me to suggest a top cardiologist?" "I'll come find you after your divorce is finalized. Felicia chuckled, "We'll celebrate in style." "Looking forward to it." Gavin wanted to see how she was doing at work and in life now. He had the time, which surprised Felicia. She was aware that he was interacting with the upper class at a posh function. And yet here he was, phoning her.Max is talking away with the daughter of the Felix family over there. Gavin remarked, "I think Miss Felix has quite a thing for him." Felicia interrupted Max as soon as his name was spoken. "I don't care if he flirts with ten girls. I'm not interested in hearing about it. After a moment of
Felicia spent the weekend taking care of Anne at Oakridge Estate. Every day, Max phoned to video chat so he could spend time with their daughter, and she brought her shopping. Felicia took Anne to her first day of kindergarten on Monday. Parents dropping off their children crowded the area. Children's cries could be heard everywhere. "Felicia!" Her name was called. She turned to find Yara and Heather waving at her. The two children smiled shyly at one another. By coincidence, Anne and Yara were assigned to the same class. Felicia and Heather exchanged contacts and had a lengthy conversation with the teacher. Then it came time to bid the children farewell.Everyone was taken aback when Anne and Yara didn't weep or cause a commotion. They just followed the teacher inside the classroom while holding hands. "So, when are you going to let Anne know you're her mom?" Heather inquired, glancing over from outside. The query lingered in the atmosphere. Heather was sorry for Anne. All she could
After arriving at BlueMarble Investments, Felicia went inside. Max and Anne were standing next to each other when she passed into the foyer. Anne's eyes brightened up and she ran over as soon as she saw Felicia. "Evelynn!" Felicia accelerated and caught up to Anne in the middle. The young child smiled up at Felicia as she tightly wrapped her arms around her legs. With a soft, loving touch, Felicia leaned down and tousled Anne's hair. It was then that she looked up and saw Max coming. Max saw the change in her eyes as her stare quickly cooled. He gave Anne's backpack to her. Felicia accepted it silently."I'll be away for about a week on business," Max stated. After dropping Anne off at school on Monday, make sure to speak with her teacher and resolve any issues. He asked her to stay in contact with the instructor, manage Anne's pick-ups and drop-offs during the first week, and monitor Anne's progress. Felicia answered, "You should make sure the teacher knows what's going on, too." "I

Felicia looked back over her shoulder as she left the office. With a mocking smile tugging at the corner of his mouth, she caught a glimpse of Max as he tore open the envelope and read the summons. "Evelynn, let me show you my secret base." Felicia's gaze grew softer. "A covert base?" What secret b
To take Anne outside, Max summoned the nanny. With wide, naive eyes, Anne leaped over and took Felicia's hand. "I'm going to play outside. You can work with Daddy. I'm not going to obstruct." Felicia gave her a kind, soft smile. "Alright." Anne was escorted out of the office by the nanny. Max's ent
With meetings and deadlines taking up every hour, the beginning of the week was a fog. Felicia's head began to pound when she looked at her calendar and saw that the interview was set for Tuesday morning. However, there was no way out of it. Work was work.
