And right next to it was Raelynn's signature, signed long ago.
She had actually accepted these incredibly degrading terms.
Sebastian's thumb slowly traced the slightly faded ink of her name. He looked up at her. "You were certainly agreeable. Letting the family walk all over you, offering you this pathetic, cheap payout, and you signed it without a second thought."
His tone was impossible to read.
Raelynn remained completely composed, stating the facts. "The day I signed that, you were rushing to catch a flight to LA. You left without a backward glance. Did I really have any reason to hold out hope for you, or this family, to justify refusing to sign?"
Besides, she had never been after the Croix family's money.
When they had reunited all those years ago, she had been overjoyed, only to be met with Sebastian's freezing indifference. He had seemingly wiped her from his memory entirely, showing zero interest in catching up. But she had met him right as she was coming of age, and spending time with him had made her fall deeply in love.
Back then, she had foolishly believed they were destined to be together. So, even when Forrest Croix forced this humiliating seven-year expiration date on their marriage, she had willingly accepted it. She thought she could use that time to make him fall in love with her.
She had been so stubborn that she even refused to tell him she was the one who had saved his life. She didn't want to trap him using a debt of gratitude.
But reality had crushed her. It had all been a pathetic, one-sided delusion.
"So Ian Hudson was just a backup plan?" He completely ignored her deflection. "You were already with him back then, yet you didn't ask for a divorce right away. Were you not confident you could keep him hooked, or were you just so desperately in love with me that you couldn't bear to let go?"
Raelynn flushed with sudden anger.
"That's none of your business. Stop flattering yourself," she snapped, her patience gone. "And I'm warning you—don't push me. Especially with this insane plan to trade me to Ian for real estate. You might want to sell me off to the highest bidder, but I'm not going to play along." She couldn't let his disgusting betrayal go.
Sebastian suddenly tossed the divorce agreement onto the table.
He leaned forward, closing the distance between them until he was invading her space. His dark eyes locked onto hers. "If he's willing to pay the price, then he's a good catch. But if he isn't... shouldn't you be reconsidering if he's even worth marrying at all?"

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!...
