"No!"
Derek desperately fought against the men pinning him down, but he could only watch helplessly as they rolled his Chlo away.
He couldn't reach her.
As she disappeared from his sight, his bloodshot eyes widened. The overwhelming emotional collapse finally shattered him, and he violently coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Give her... back to me..." he continued to mutter deliriously.
Raelynn walked up to him, her expression completely devoid of pity. "Chlo was right. This is exactly the kind of person you are. Even when you're entirely at fault, you refuse to let her go. If she had lived, you would have haunted her like a vengeful ghost for the rest of her life. She made it clear she didn't want that."
Derek's body convulsed with violent tremors.
"Let me make this perfectly clear, Derek. You will get no chance at redemption, and you have absolutely zero right to go looking for her. The only reason she chose this path was to completely sever herself from the agony you caused her. So don't you dare insult her memory by offing yourself. That was her final wish."
Derek was frozen, completely paralyzed.
His Chlo wouldn't even grant him the right to join her in death. She had left him behind to suffer in this living hell.
Raelynn turned to walk away. "You're on your own now."
"Please..." Derek suddenly lunged and grabbed the hem of Raelynn's pants. His voice was hoarse beyond recognition, his eyes entirely unfocused. "Let me see what she said to you. Did she leave a letter? A voice memo? Can I just... hear it?"
Raelynn looked down at him, enunciating every word. "You're overthinking it."
"Aside from strictly forbidding you from finding her, she didn't leave a single word for you."
Derek's pupils violently dilated in sheer horror.

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!...
