All Chapters of Where the Wind Takes Her: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Felix sat alone in his cold, empty office, listening as his assistant reported that Walker Corporation had gone bankrupt and Victor Walker had fled Harbour City.He felt no satisfaction.If anything, the emptiness inside him had only grown.He'd personally severed Wendy's last fragile tie to her past.And in doing so, he'd destroyed any possibility that she might return.On his computer screen was a digitally restored scan of the divorce agreement Wendy had signed.He stared at her bold, decisive handwriting.Now, every stroke seemed to declare just how determined she'd been to leave him.Regret and despair crashed over him in suffocating waves.Felix's condition deteriorated rapidly.The once-impeccable, aloof CEO of Foster Corporation was becoming almost unrecognizable.He'd grown gaunt, his eyes sunken, his face perpetually shadowed by exhaustion and gloom.His recent emotional outbursts and irrational business decisions had begun taking a serious toll on Foster Corporat

“Felix!”Pinned beneath him, Wendy looked up in shock.His face was inches from hers, contorted with agony, while flames danced across his back.She could even smell his burning flesh.Emergency responders rushed over and quickly extinguished the flames with a fire extinguisher.Felix's back was badly charred, the burns horrific.The pain was so intense he nearly passed out.But he forced himself to stay conscious.The first thing he did was grab Wendy's arm and anxiously look her over.“A-are you okay? Are you hurt?”His voice was weak, but his concern was unmistakable.Wendy stared at his horribly burned back, then at the cold sweat beading across his forehead.The fear and concern in his eyes were genuine.She opened her mouth, but for once, no words came.Just then, Leo rushed over.He'd gone to check on another part of the exhibition hall and had hurried back after hearing the commotion.When he saw Felix's injuries and realized he'd shielded Wendy from the flames,

In the days that followed, Felix began the long, difficult process of making amends.First, he committed to regular, long-term therapy with a leading psychologist, determined to understand his own flaws, the roots of his need for control, and what it truly meant to love someone in a healthy way.He was no longer the arrogant head of the Foster family who believed everything could be controlled through rules.He worked hard to set aside his pride, to understand Wendy, and to accept her for who she was.He stopped interfering with her career.Instead, he used every resource at his disposal to clear obstacles from her path and support her ambitions.He never asked for recognition or credit.He simply stayed quietly in the background, hoping to become someone she could always rely on.He accompanied her on adventures she'd once dreamed of but he'd forbidden, including bungee jumping.Standing at the edge of the platform, his face pale with fear, he held her hand tightly as they ju

Felix remained frozen where he was, like a broken doll abandoned in the middle of nowhere.He watched helplessly as Wendy walked away with another man, her arm linked through his.The ring on her finger glittered painfully beneath the lights.Around him, guests whispered and snickered.Suddenly, Felix coughed up a mouthful of blood.It splattered across the polished floor, leaving a vivid crimson stain.His vision went black.He lost consciousness and collapsed heavily to the ground.The last things he heard were startled cries and the frantic footsteps of people rushing toward him.And the final, cruelest image burned into his mind was Wendy walking away without looking back.After collapsing and coughing up blood at the Paris jewelry exhibition, Felix was rushed to the hospital.Doctors attributed his condition to extreme emotional distress, aggravated by injuries that hadn't fully healed, and ordered him to rest.But Felix stayed in the hospital for only one day.Then h

Her voice was calm, without anger, resentment, or even the slightest hint of emotion.Yet every word cut deeper than any blade.“Felix Foster, just look at yourself.”She paused.“It's pathetic. And ridiculous.”Then her red lips parted, delivering the words that would destroy what little hope he had left.“Falling in love with you was the biggest humiliation of my life.”Her voice turned firm, leaving no room for argument.“Please stay out of my life. Forever.”With that, she turned away without sparing him another glance.She reached for Leo's arm and leaned gently against him.Leo slipped an arm around her waist and cast one last cold look at Felix, who remained kneeling in the snow, looking as though every last bit of life had drained from him.Then he guided Wendy toward the warmly lit glass cabin.Wendy never looked back.Felix remained motionless in the freezing snow, like a statue abandoned to the elements.He watched the two figures in matching white coats disap
