Seraphina was genuinely surprised that Leo was going this far out of his way for her.
Especially in front of a crowd like this.
It was the ultimate, public validation of her status as Sebastian's woman.
A delicate blush painted her cheeks.
She looked up at Sebastian, who was sitting right beside her. "Sebastian, ignore him. Leo's just joking around. There are too many people watching."
The crowd instantly erupted.
"Drink! Drink!"
"Drink! Drink!"
"Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!"
The cheering and chanting echoed around the room.
Sebastian rested his elbows on his knees, lazily swirling the champagne in his glass. "Tonight's about Leo."
Leo clinked his glass against Sebastian's. "So what? Seeing my best friend happy is the best gift I could ask for."
The people in the room were all part of the same elite inner circle.
Even though everyone knew the rumors about Sebastian getting married young years ago.
None of them thought there was anything wrong with what was happening right now.
High-society marriages were just business arrangements; they were only meant to look good on paper.
Behind closed doors, everyone played the field.
Who didn't have a side piece?
Leo shot a highly meaningful glance toward the corner of the room.
Seraphina had saved his grandfather's life; he owed her an unpayable debt. If he could force Raelynn to realize just how utterly irrelevant she was, forcing her to finally back off, that would be the ultimate payback.
The party's energy was peaking.
Raelynn was forced to stand there, eyes wide open, watching this grotesque circus unfold.
The crowd surged forward.
She could barely even see what was happening with Sebastian anymore.
She truly hadn't expected them to be this brazenly disgusting.
Raelynn turned her back on the chaos, the roaring cheers still echoing behind her.
She was the only one in the room who didn't belong.
She downed the rest of her drink in one gulp, slammed the glass onto a table, and headed straight for the door.
"Raelynn, wait a second."
Seraphina had chased after her.
Raelynn stopped and turned around. Seraphina had left her adoring fans behind and was standing right in front of her.
Raelynn had no idea if Sebastian and Seraphina had actually gone through with the locked-arm drink and the kiss.
What an absolutely beautiful, epic affair.
Raelynn wasn't surprised, but that didn't mean she wasn't sickened by it. She let out a dry laugh. "Thanks for giving me the itemized receipt of exactly how much of my husband's money you've been burning through. I'll be sure to file a claim for the marital assets as soon as possible. Oh, right, you've got a few TV appearances coming up, don't you? You might want to pay that money back quickly, otherwise I'll have to come collect it from you on set, and that's going to look really ugly on camera."
The ironclad prenup she'd signed with Sebastian was drawn up by Chairman Croix Sr. himself.
Only the three of them actually knew what was in it.
Even though she had zero legal right to stop Sebastian from spending his own money.
She could definitely use the threat of a lawsuit to terrify Seraphina.
The smug look completely vanished from Seraphina's eyes.
"Raelynn, you can't force someone to love you. In any relationship, the one who isn't loved is the real interloper. Sticking around is just making things worse. Letting go would actually be a decent thing to do."
"Then go run for office and write it into law," Raelynn shot back coldly, turning to leave.
Seraphina scowled.
She couldn't believe Raelynn was this ridiculously stubborn.
Seeing Raelynn about to walk away.
Seraphina took a quick step forward. Her stilettos caught slightly on the thick carpet, and she legitimately lost her balance for a second.
The champagne glass in her hand tipped forward, splashing the expensive wine all over her own chest.
And she went tumbling backward, landing hard on the floor.
The crash instantly drew the attention of everyone nearby.

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!...
