Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 820
She had a temporary strategy to stall the transfer of Lily's custody, but Ian wasn't lying. With the Croix and Hudson empires forming a united front, the Yves family would be walking into a massacre. Furthermore... she had absolutely no desire to go begging to that so-called biological father of hers.
That night.
Raelynn didn't sleep a wink.
Chloe never texted back.
When morning finally broke, the deep winter sky remained a bleak, oppressive shade of gray.
Ian's detail was already stationed outside her door.
She pulled it open to find a team of professionals waiting respectfully. "Ms. Ortiz, it's time to head to the venue to begin preparations. The guests will start arriving around ten o'clock. You only have three hours to get ready."
Raelynn could read the writing on the wall.
Ian was dead set on this.
He wasn't leaving her a single loophole to escape.
He was going to drag her to the altar no matter what.
Raelynn's face was an icy mask, devoid of the volatile fury from the night before. She offered a cold, mocking smile. "Understood."
She stepped back into her bedroom.
From the very bottom drawer, she retrieved the Custody Waiver Agreement she had tricked Sebastian into signing last year.
She slipped the documents into her bag, and without a drop of makeup on her pale face, she climbed into the waiting car.
Arriving at the venue.
Raelynn walked through the opulent, hyper-romantic setup like a complete outsider.
It felt as though none of this had anything to do with her.
The styling team was in an absolute frenzy.
Dozens of coordinators were rushing around, double-checking every microscopic detail to ensure the billionaire wedding went off without a hitch.
Raelynn was escorted into the makeup room.
She glanced at the breathtaking designer gown hanging in the corner, her eyes flat and entirely devoid of emotion.
Dropping her bag on the counter, she immediately pulled out her phone to call Chloe.
However.
This time, she was met with a rapid, hollow busy signal.
And then, a moment later...
The automated voice stated the phone was powered off.
A cold knot of dread tightened in Raelynn's stomach. Her grip on the phone tightened incrementally, a hollow void expanding in her chest.
Zella Davenport stepped out.
The Davenport family was on the exclusive guest list. As soon as her heels hit the pavement, she instinctively scanned the lavish crowd, searching for Sebastian's silhouette.
Behind her.
Derek Davenport frowned deeply, staring at his unanswered chat history with Chloe.
She hadn't replied to a single message.
For a girl who was practically glued to her phone, going completely silent was wildly out of character.
"What are you spacing out for?" Zella asked him.
Derek didn't bother hiding his anxiety. "Chlo hasn't texted me back. I'm worried."
Zella knew 'Chlo' was his affectionate nickname for Chloe Hudson.
Honestly, she didn't understand it. How could anyone date for years and still be in that suffocating, clingy honeymoon phase?
Her mind briefly flickered to Sebastian.
When he loved a woman, would he be like that too?
Just as the thought crossed her mind.
A hushed murmur rippled through the nearby crowd: "Mr. Croix is here."

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!...
