Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 229
Coercion, bribery, and blackmail—Matilda used every trick in the book.
Leaving absolutely zero room for refusal.
In a powerful dynasty like the Croix family, every elder wore a mask of charity over a heart of cold-blooded tyranny.
Defying them would only lead to utter ruin.
Raelynn was escorted out of the estate.
The sun felt blindingly bright, burning her eyes.
She got into her car.
Her chest heaved heavily.
This entire catastrophe had caught her completely off guard.
Shredding all her perfectly laid plans and hopes for the future.
The certificate was the sole legal proof of her divorce, the very bottleneck choking off her ability to transfer Lily's residency back into her name.
The divorce seemed final, but if she couldn't get her hands on that document, it could be annulled at any moment.
She had absolutely zero control over the situation!
If it was annulled, every ounce of her effort, including the Custody Waiver Agreement, would become entirely void.
Her grip on Lily's custody was more precarious than ever.
A sudden surge of burning hatred for Sebastian's absence flared in Raelynn's chest.
If he had taken finalizing their divorce seriously today, there was no way Matilda could have intercepted the paperwork.
She forced herself to calm down and formulate a counter-strategy.
No matter what it took, she had to preserve the finality of their divorce.
During this time, Chloe called.
Raelynn immediately turned the car around and drove to Chloe's house.
"So are you officially divorced or not?" Chloe asked in sheer disbelief.
Raelynn looked pale and exhausted. "I doubt a divorce certificate can just be annulled at any given time. I'm guessing there's a strict time limit. If I can safely run down the clock, it will be permanent. Once it can't be annulled anymore, holding it hostage will be useless, and Matilda will have to hand it over."
She based her guess entirely on standard legal regulations.
Even with a VIP channel, they couldn't possibly exploit loopholes without any limits.
"That makes sense. Thank god you have a good head on your shoulders. The Matriarch is probably just bluffing to make you think she can cancel it whenever she wants." Chloe strongly agreed with Raelynn's theory.
However, during this limited timeframe...
Raelynn would be walking on extremely thin ice.
It was Chloe's Social Feed.
Seraphina had posted a nine-photo grid.
Along with a location tag.
The photo grid covered everything from fine dining to luxurious accommodations. In the very center picture...
Was an artistically framed shot of a hotel café corner. Reflected in the massive floor-to-ceiling windows was the silhouette of a man sitting with his legs crossed. He was leaning against a sofa with a book resting on his lap. It was just a blurry silhouette; his face wasn't even visible.
But this was her husband of seven years.
How could Raelynn possibly fail to recognize him?
Seraphina's caption read: The man who truly loves you will accommodate and satisfy your every whim. I told him I wanted to visit this city to relax, and he never let my request wait overnight.
Raelynn couldn't even begin to describe how she felt in that exact moment.
Absurd?
Ridiculous?
She was invisible. Even the finalization of their divorce could be completely thrown to the wind.
Nothing was more important than indulging Seraphina's sudden whims?

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!...
