Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 144
Before Raelynn could even process who had spoken, she was yanked out of the line of fire by her arm. By the time she regained her balance and looked back in shock, the sickening sound of fists pounding into flesh echoed through the corridor.
Luke Sterling had appeared out of nowhere. He had the man who grabbed her pinned down, raining merciless blows on him as the guy's agonizing screams echoed through the air.
Guests from the baby celebration poured out into the hall, quickly forming a tight circle around the commotion. Standing squarely in the center of the storm, Raelynn felt the heavy, judgmental stares of the crowd bearing down on her. A sharp headache began to throb at her temples.
She stepped forward, desperately grabbing Luke's arm. "Mr. Sterling! What the hell are you doing?"
She truly couldn't fathom what was going through his head. They weren't friends. Every interaction they'd ever had bordered on hostile. So why was he suddenly playing her violent protector?
Luke, however, was completely unhinged, convinced he was punishing a predator who dared to touch her. Refusing to loosen his grip on the bloody man, he blindly swung his arm back to shake Raelynn off.
Though tall, Raelynn had a slender frame. The force of his shove sent her stumbling backward, her heels skidding against the marble until she barely managed to catch her balance.
"Mr. Sterling, you need to—" she started, desperate to shut this down before it completely ruined Jenna's milestone event.
But as she lifted her head, her words died in her throat. Across the chaotic circle of bystanders, her eyes locked dead onto Sebastian.
Unlike the eager onlookers, he stood slightly apart, a solitary force radiating an imposing, unapproachable aura. His dark eyes swept over the scene with chilling detachment. She had no idea how long he had been standing there or if he had watched his own wife being harassed and shoved.
But whatever the truth was, it didn't change his reaction: absolute, freezing apathy.
He didn't intervene. He didn't help. He didn't defend her.
Luke's jaw tightened, momentarily rendered speechless.
He couldn't stand women like her—sharp-tongued, unapologetic, and completely lacking any sense of vulnerability. "You don't have a single ounce of gratitude in you, do you?"
Raelynn checked her watch, her voice dripping with boredom. "Without you, I would have handled it perfectly fine on my own. And I wouldn't be sitting in a police station right now."
Luke let out a harsh, incredulous laugh. So now this was *his* fault?
Raelynn found Luke entirely bizarre. Every time their paths crossed, it was a trainwreck. If he despised her so much, why put on this ridiculous white-knight performance? She genuinely believed that if Luke hadn't gone feral, she wouldn't be sitting in an interrogation room at midnight.

The readers' comments on the novel: Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding
I think for as slow as the beginning was, their turning point is just so fast... really hope we actually get to read about R and S and their rekindle.... we did not read 950 pages for their story to be sidelined. Im for this sideline story, but it if it's to separate from the main characters and their story, please make it separate book....
Author please update more chapters...
I really like Zella, she is becoming a good friend to Raelynn. Ian needs to go. The relationship with Chloe is confusing. Some chapters they are cousins, sometimes they're sibling. A little confusing....
Julians role as big brother- I feel comes from a genuine place, but in a relationship thats is just as stained as Raelynns and Sebastians. It hard for me to connect to his big brother role as he too was such a problem before. And while they talked a little bit, the conversation did not give me the believe there was resolution between Raelynn and Julian. For a brute, he should make his feelings clear about the situation to Raelynn and then step back, until there is more foundation for him to stand on....
Knife in my heart. I hurt for Raelynn. She has made it this far, but how much does she have in her, everyone has a breaking point. Some back of me hopes the author is joking to lighten the mood after so many intense chapters, but thats not this kind of story or couple....
My heart cannot take this. This, cannot be how it ends with these too. They need resolution with each other. Raelynn needs to be more humanize with Sebastian. We know she is hurt, but this is the branch. She needs all these answers, if not for them to be together, then for Lily to have both her parents. Stop with the mind games Raelynn!...
Its like the story is just repeating itself...
Timeline is getting lost for me. So many treasured little memories Raelynn has but yet, he was gone for years ? Anyways... still rooting for them! These two need a heart to heart. Lily "forgetting" someone, not possible in this day and age and I hope thats not their storyline....
Sebastian, the man of few words.... needs to find all the words! Needs to fight for her! On note, seven years seems like a long time for this master plan (which I am sure goes back much farther). Rereading this novel, and it seems like everything has played out in a 5-8 month time span. And I feel like all Sebastian's doings/ plan have not been revealed. I hope we get to see the whole picture and have the resolutions we hope. But seven years of mistreatment, I just don't see Raelynn fully coming back. If these was 2-3 years, maybe, and I know it changes some characters around, but it would still work. Rooting for them!...
Literally on edge!...
