Sebastian refused to go to the hospital.
Professor Robert was losing his mind over it.
And the only person Zella thought could break through to him was Raelynn.
If Raelynn told him to go, it just might work.
Raelynn looked down at the shattered porcelain on the floor.
Her eyelashes fluttered rapidly.
"Raelynn?" Zella asked, genuine concern lacing her voice.
Regardless of whether Sebastian rejected her or not, this was a human life.
She couldn't deny her worry and sorrow.
She didn't want a titan like Sebastian to just wither and die.
Chloe opened her mouth but found she couldn't formulate a single argument. She just stared worriedly at her friend.
It took a long time for Raelynn to lift her head. Her face was wiped completely clean of emotion. "I'll try calling him."
She moved mechanically to grab her phone.
Her mind was chaotic, yet terrifyingly methodical.
She hadn't seen his medical records, so she didn't know the exact diagnosis, but for Robert to be this frantic, it was absolutely not a joke.
She was not the type to let grudges cloud her morality.
Even if Sebastian had hidden the truth about saving her, the fact remained: he saved her.
He hadn't abandoned her to die.
So she naturally couldn't abandon him.
The truth quickly became apparent.
Raelynn's calls were going straight to voicemail.
She didn't look up.
She just kept redialing in dead silence.
Still nothing.
After five consecutive failed attempts, the suppressed terror inside her began bleeding out. Her face was icy cold, making it impossible to tell if she was furious or simply devastated.
"I'm going to find him."
"I'll come with you," Chloe said, hastily untying her apron.
Raelynn didn't look back. "No need."
Zella blocked Chloe from following. "Outsiders can't get involved in this. He's severely ill and hid it from everyone, especially Raelynn. She's obviously pissed. They need to hash this out face-to-face."
Chloe bit her lip and stopped.
She glared at Zella. "Why are you so sure he'll listen to Raelynn?"
Zella looked at her like she was an idiot. "It's called intuition. You should try it."

Raelynn drove straight to Croix Holdings.
Her face remained devoid of expression the entire way—no tears, no sorrow.
Her tone was completely devoid of tact. It was sharp, cold, and entirely lacked the deference required when addressing a man of Sebastian's immense status.
The executives exchanged horrified looks.
Did this woman have a death wish? Who did she think she was ordering around?
Sebastian stared at her for several agonizing seconds.
Having been married to her for years, he knew Raelynn wasn't naturally ruthless. She rarely lost control of her temper, usually keeping her patience locked down tight.
But right now...
"Can we go to my office?" He stepped away from the table and walked toward her.
The fact that Sebastian Croix just conceded to her tone sent a shockwave of silent, wide-eyed stares around the room.
Raelynn glared at his face.
Without saying a single word, she turned and walked toward his office.
Sebastian glanced over his shoulder at the stunned executives. "That's it for today."
He followed her out.
The second the door closed, the massive conference room erupted into chaotic whispers.
They had truly witnessed a miracle today.
Sebastian was famously tyrannical in the office, a man who never smiled and never showed mercy in business. Today, he had given them the show of a lifetime.
Once inside his office.
Sebastian closed the door and looked at Raelynn. "What is it."

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!...
