Gritting her teeth.
Her expression hardened as she pulled out her phone and photographed the confidential documents page by page.
Once finished, she shoved the files back exactly as she had found them.
Just as she pushed the heavy safe door shut.
The sound of approaching footsteps echoed outside.
She scrambled to her feet, hurrying over to the sofa just as the office door swung open. Sebastian walked in, his chiseled features stoic and unreadable as his gaze landed on her.
"Have you been waiting long?"
Seraphina's heart was still pounding. Looking at the handsome face that always left her breathless, a frantic urge to demand the truth about the password surged within her.
But she couldn't.
"No, am I interrupting you?" she asked softly, swallowing the bitter jealousy that threatened to tear her world apart.
"Not at all."
Sebastian walked over to his desk, unbuttoning his suit jacket and draping it casually over the back of his chair.
His gaze flicked briefly toward the space beneath his desk.
It was just a fleeting glance before he looked back at her. "Did you need something?"
Seraphina couldn't read his emotions, nor could she be certain of where she currently stood with him. "I wanted to ask you out tonight so we could talk privately, but you didn't answer my calls."
Taking his seat, Sebastian offered a faint, dismissive smirk. "My phone was on silent for the meeting."
That simple explanation did wonders to soothe her frayed nerves.
Taking advantage of the moment, she walked around the imposing desk, stepping behind his chair and resting her hands lightly on his shoulders. She leaned in close, her voice dripping with sweetness. "I thought you were ignoring me. It broke my heart. You haven't reached out much lately, and it's making me feel insecure."
Her fingers trailed lightly across his tailored shirt.
She shifted, intent on slipping onto his lap.
Looking at him with deep affection, she crouched beside his chair, resting her hand gently on his thigh. "Sebastian, I actually came today to share some wonderful news."
Sebastian lowered his gaze.
Staring at her hand on his dress pants with an unreadable expression.
His tone was perfectly flat. "Go on."
A radiant, blissful smile bloomed on Seraphina's face. "I'm going to be a mother! I'm pregnant with your baby. I just got the confirmation today. I wanted to plan a big surprise, but I simply couldn't wait to tell you. We're having a baby."
She watched his face intently, searching for a reaction.
Sebastian simply stared back in silence.
After a long moment, his gaze dropped to her stomach. "My child?"
Suppressing a sudden spike of guilt, Seraphina kept her smile perfectly intact, her eyes shining with emotion. "Of course. We're going to be parents. This is a gift. But the baby will need a proper family when they're born. I don't even need a wedding, just marry me. Please?"

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!...
