Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 204
Raelynn's vision was a blur. Driven by pure survival instinct, she clung desperately to her rescuer.
The arm wrapped securely around her waist was rock-solid and unyielding.
In a split second, she broke the surface.
Oxygen rushed violently into her burning lungs.
Black spots danced across her vision. The traumatic memories paralyzed her brain, leaving her violently trembling.
"Raelynn?"
A cold, magnetic voice rang in her ears.
She had already been carried out of the pool.
Her head throbbed agonizingly. She forced her eyes open into a narrow slit and caught sight of Sebastian Croix's sharp, defined jawline.
Water dripped steadily from his dark hair. His expression was completely composed. He swiftly snatched a towel from a nearby lounge chair and wrapped it tightly around her shivering body.
Her lungs burned like fire. She was already fighting a cold, and inhaling the pool water made her feel like she was burning up from the inside out.
Her limbs were completely limp.
Sebastian scooped her into his arms and carried her out with long, purposeful strides.
He moved fast.
But his hold was incredibly steady, shielding her from any jarring movements.
"Mr. Croix? Who is that?"
While they waited for the elevator.
Raelynn heard someone call out to him.
It sounded like Luke Sterling.
But Sebastian didn't even break his stride. He simply pulled the edge of the towel up to cover her face.
They reached the top-floor presidential suite.
Raelynn felt terribly nauseous. Sebastian kicked the bathroom door open, set her down on the vanity counter, and stepped back. She immediately threw off the towel, gripped the edge of the sink, and retched.
Her stomach and lungs were on fire.
Water still dripped from Sebastian's dark hair.
He watched her suffer in silence, simply raising a hand to pat her back gently.
Catching her breath, Raelynn felt the warm, rhythmic pressure of his palm against her spine.
She gripped the counter and looked at him.
His dark eyes were deep and unreadable, like ink spilled into water.
Raelynn's expression darkened.
"Why are you digging through my suitcase?"
"So I should have just let you drown?" he countered effortlessly.
He had no intention of backing down.
Raelynn scowled.
Sebastian didn't see the issue. They had been married for seven years; he had seen everything there was to see.
He set the clothes within her reach and closed the door again.
Freezing, Raelynn couldn't bother arguing over the details.
This sudden regression to their old marital dynamic made her incredibly uncomfortable.
Moving slowly and stiffly, she changed her clothes, dried her hair, and leaned against the wall to step out of the bathroom.
Her fever was spiking, and the adrenaline crash left her legs feeling like jelly.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Sebastian leaning casually against the frame.
Surprised he hadn't left, she watched as he immediately reached out to carry her again.

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!...
