Semua Bab Goodbye, Saintess.: Bab 401 - Bab 410

"I don't need your forgiveness, Hera. What I need is for you to understand that, from this moment on, we're divorced—strangers to each other. And to a stranger, I'll say this: the door's right there. Get your ass out," I said flatly.I slipped on my coat and prepared to head home.Hera didn't believe me. She stayed where she was, sneering, "Still playing this stupid game, Sebastian? Fine, have it your way! I gave you a chance to come back to me out of the kindness of my heart. If you want to waste it, then so be it! We'll get that divorce!"Her tone sharpened as she grabbed her bag. "We'll go to the courthouse. And I'll make sure your parents know you cheated on me!"I ignored her. After locking my office, I went down to the basement parking lot where my car waited.Hera followed, heels clicking furiously against the concrete. She even walked to the passenger side out of habit, muttering, "When did you get this stupid Land Rover?"Oh, so you think you're all that now because you'

The look on Kim's face after Hera finished explaining everything was a sight to behold."Well… that's more or less what happened, Mr. Waxman. Can I sue him? Is there anything I can do?" Hera muttered, her anger simmering beneath the surface. "I want him back!""Um, Ms. Bishop… you should calm down," the lawyer said, frowning as if baffled by her reasoning.After a pause to collect his thoughts, he added, "You don't have any solid evidence of Mr. Grimwald's alleged adultery. A child's eyewitness account is rarely admissible in court. Do you have anything else to support your claim?"She shook her head. "None for the time being.""Then it'll be very difficult to pursue this. The law can't help you as much as Mr. Grimwald's own conscience can. He'd have to change his mind on his own."The words hit her like a bolt from the blue. "What?! But he cheated on me! Doesn't that count for anything?""I think you're misunderstanding the situation, Ms. Bishop," Kim said gently. "You need to

Edmund bared his teeth nervously. "Hera, let me explain!"Hera remained expressionless. The ache in her chest had hollowed her out completely.'I'm so sorry, Sebastian. I can't believe I emotionally cheated on you with this man just because he was my first love and had a child. No wonder you left me. I was such a fool—a terrible wife. Hardly a wife at all.'Tears streamed down Hera's face.Edmund mistook her silence for grief over his deception and rushed to defend himself. "Look, it was an emotional mistake, Ira. You know Sebastian's always surrounded by women. We both know that!"We need to move on. You're divorced now, right? You're free! It doesn't matter when his affair started. It's behind you. You've always been better off without him. Look at us! We're your family now. Isn't it great, the three of us together?"We shouldn't dwell on trivial things like this. Let's focus on the future, on our family. Look, you're scaring Bobby."Bobby only cried louder."You're right," H

[I've kicked both Edmund and Bobby out of our house. I swear I'll never see them again. Please forgive me for that![I know you're not short on money or beautiful women chasing after you. But we've been together for years, Sebastian. I can't believe everything we went through could mean nothing to you.[Please, give me another chance. I swear I'll change. I'm already changing![I still have some fight left in me. I can rebuild everything, even from bankruptcy. As long as you come back, I'll be a good wife—and your business partner too!]Hera waited in silence, nerves twisting in her chest. All her pride was gone. The only thing left was a deep, gnawing sense of inferiority and the anxiety that came with it.'Post after post, and still no reply…' Her panic began to spiral. 'What happened? Did he uninstall the app already?'Too stubborn to stop, Hera sent him a DM.Hera: [I mean it! I regret everything! I've given up everything I had just to win you back! Please, give me one more

"Patience, beautiful. I parked it in the basement of that mall. Yesterday was awful, so I spent the whole night at the bar," he said, his tone smooth and casual. "You know, I noticed you last night.""Really?" The woman smiled, tilting her head as she showed off her alluring curves."Yeah, really. I don't have many female friends. You're the first woman I've ever talked to who started as a stranger," he replied with a chuckle. "Took me some courage to approach you."Edmund spoke his lines like an actor performing from a well-rehearsed script. And in truth, he was playing a part. His plan was simple: he would take the woman to the mall's basement, pretend his car was missing, and act frustrated as though one of his "underlings" had mistakenly driven it away.Then, he would suggest that they wait at a nearby hotel until the car was returned. Once there, he would ease her guard with drinks, charm her with stories about his travels abroad, and—when the moment felt right—turn the conver
