Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 5
In the beginning, their marriage was anything but harmonious.
Sebastian rarely came home. Having any kind of intimacy twice a month was a luxury.
Let alone actual communication.
But toward the end of their first year, Sebastian was preparing to move to the US branch to lay the groundwork for his eventual takeover of the family empire.
The night before his flight, he came home completely wasted from a business dinner and, for the first time, forgot to use protection.
He was utterly insatiable that night.
That was the first time she realized that when he was drunk enough to not recognize who she was, he wasn't nearly as disciplined as he pretended to be.
Two months after he left for the US, Raelynn realized she was pregnant.
As a doctor, she recognized the symptoms immediately. She was in complete shock.
Back then, she had been naive enough to think: if he really believed he was sterile, wouldn't a miracle baby save their marriage?
So, she decided to test the waters first.
She immediately flew out to New York. Overflowing with excitement, she rushed straight to his corporate headquarters, waiting out in the biting cold for two hours. Sebastian was visibly shocked by her arrival. He didn't introduce her to his colleagues; he just had his assistant drop her off at his flat.
Still fueled by blind optimism, she didn't pick up on his blatant refusal to acknowledge her publicly.
When he got home that night and showered, he didn't even bother to ask if she was tired from the long flight. He leaned over to kiss her ear, but his eyes were completely hollow, treating her like a chore.
As if she had flown all the way there just to beg for his attention.
Feeling thoroughly uncomfortable, Raelynn pushed him away. Swallowing her nerves, she asked, "If I got pregnant, would we..."
That single sentence instantly killed whatever little mood he had.
Sebastian pulled away without a second of hesitation. He rolled over, closed his eyes, and maintained a cold, insurmountable distance.
"If you think bringing a child into this is going to magically fix our marriage, I highly suggest you stop dreaming."
His tone was perfectly calm, yet brutally cruel.
Lily wasn't officially registered under Chloe's name.
The Hudson name didn't technically come from Chloe.
It belonged to Ian Hudson, Chloe's cousin and the future head of the Hudson Clan.
Raelynn thought of the man who had graciously stepped up to help her, legally claiming the child as his own.
She shook her head and glanced back at Lily's message.
No one in the Croix family had a clue.
Now, her daughter was the only asset she cared about taking from this divorce.
Sebastian might have been a disaster of a husband, but it wasn't worth wasting her breath on a man who was, in the end, nothing more than a sperm donor.
-
After coming clean about the divorce to Chloe, Chloe was stunned for a solid few seconds. Out of everyone, she knew exactly how deeply Raelynn had loved Sebastian, from her teenage years all the way until now. Over a decade.

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!...
