Seraphina's hands balled into tight fists.
She refused to believe Raelynn was completely unfazed. The other woman was just putting on a good act.
As long as Raelynn bought it, that was all that mattered.
She couldn't care less about the rest.
The business dinner successfully wrapped up.
Mr. Zane offered an even lower price than NexusMind's ideal target, a victory that made Raelynn genuinely thrilled and even more sincere in her gratitude.
When the evening ended...
As the host of the dinner, Raelynn had thoughtfully arranged cars to take everyone back out of courtesy and appreciation.
Traffic was terrible in the area, and only Mr. Zane had driven himself.
After booking a designated driver for him, Raelynn started organizing rides for the rest of the group.
Knowing alcohol would be involved, she had arranged for cars to be on standby ahead of time. She waved the guests over, ushering them into the vehicles one by one.
Seraphina was the last.
Walking right past Raelynn, she slid straight into the final car.
Raelynn didn't bother arguing with her.
Seraphina's car pulled away first.
Raelynn memorized the license plate, planning to call another ride for herself.
But before she could pull up the app...
Terrified screams echoed from down the street.
Followed by the harsh, ear-piercing screech of tires grinding against asphalt.
Raelynn's head snapped up.
She saw the car Seraphina had just gotten into. It hadn't even gone three hundred feet before it seemed to suffer a total mechanical failure, the speed and steering completely out of control.
It swerved wildly across the road.
Raelynn's brow furrowed.
What on earth was going on?
Meanwhile, in the car...
Seraphina was in the back seat. She never wore a seatbelt. She had just pulled out her phone, intending to call Sebastian.
Before the call could even connect...
The car jerked violently to the side.
She was nearly thrown across the cabin.
Her body slammed back and forth, entirely at the mercy of the vehicle's erratic movements.
When she looked up...
A crowd of onlookers had already gathered.
And through the crowd...
Seraphina spotted Raelynn rushing toward the scene.
A sudden, vicious thought surged into her mind.
The driver climbed out, visibly shaken but alive.
Raelynn arrived just in time. She knew the driver. The vehicle was a corporate car belonging to NexusMind, and the driver, Walter, was a military veteran with impeccable psychological resilience and experience.
"Walter, what happened?"
Raelynn's expression was incredibly dark.
That was far too close.
Someone could have easily been killed.
If Walter hadn't possessed nerves of steel, it would have been a fatal disaster.
Walter was panting heavily. "The brakes failed. The speed locked up. I just had this car serviced not long ago..."
"Raelynn!"

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!...
