Cameron glared at her with pure, unadulterated hatred. "You really think you can ruin everything I've built? You don't get to threaten me with this garbage!"
He was actually trying to kill her.
Seraphina realized it with a jolt of sheer terror.
The suffocating panic of death sent her thrashing wildly.
Her lungs burned as her oxygen supply was entirely cut off.
Suddenly, the door flew open.
Brenda Polk stood in the doorway. Seeing the scene unfold, she practically jumped out of her skin and rushed forward. "Cameron, what the hell are you doing?! Let her go! Don't do anything stupid!"
Cameron had completely snapped.
He couldn't afford a single misstep right now. He looked up at his mother, his eyes bloodshot. "This bitch is carrying my kid. She knows I leaked the company strategy. She's threatening to drag me down with her. If Grandpa finds out, he'll destroy me..."
Leaking the company's highest-level trade secrets to the public...
If that got out, it was corporate suicide!
Brenda's face drained of color.
She hadn't realized the situation was this catastrophic.
Watching Seraphina's eyes begin to roll back into her head, Brenda forced herself to remain calm. A cold, venomous look settled over her features. "She has to go. But first."
She shifted her gaze to Seraphina's stomach.
"We get rid of the bastard inside her."
The pregnancy was a ticking time bomb.
Brenda hadn't clawed her way through high society without learning how to be utterly ruthless. When it came to survival, she didn't hesitate.
Cameron froze, his grip loosening. "You mean...?"
Brenda ordered him to drop Seraphina. As the woman collapsed to the floor, gasping and retching violently for air, Brenda stepped closer. "The only reason I didn't crush you before was because Sebastian was protecting you. I wasn't going to pick a fight with him and bring trouble to our side of the family. But now..."
"Did you really think a piece of trash like you had the right to sit at our table and make demands?"
Brenda had spent decades consolidating power and building her underground network.
Under Seraphina's terrified gaze, she pulled out her phone and made a call. "Get over here immediately. Use the back entrance. Bring the equipment."
Seraphina tried to scramble away, but her legs had turned to jelly.
They were going to... they were actually going to...
Cameron knew exactly what his mother was capable of. If it hadn't been for Sebastian standing in the way all those years, a nobody like Seraphina would have been squashed like a bug a hundred times over.
The billionaire class didn't operate on morality. There was no such thing as clean money.
Their world ran on a completely different set of dark, twisted rules.
Seraphina's arms and legs were pinned down. She was treated like an animal on a slaughterhouse floor, stripped of every basic human right. The gag in her mouth stifled her screams. The sheer, overwhelming despair completely shattered her. The absolute terror of knowing they were about to forcibly rip the embryo from her womb was paralyzing.
She was about to experience a level of physical agony she couldn't even comprehend.
Brenda wasn't about to let this woman jeopardize her son's empire. Besides, she already harbored a deep-seated hatred for Seraphina. This was the perfect opportunity to strike.
She was going to make sure Seraphina suffered.
She was going to extract payment for every ounce of disrespect, multiplied by a thousand.
Cameron watched without a shred of pity.
He knew Seraphina was smart—otherwise, she wouldn't have thought to use that leverage against him. But she clearly hadn't anticipated the hell she was walking into.
With the gag muffling her voice, her agonizing screams were completely swallowed.

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!...
