Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

The Unseen Kingdom That Followed Me Into Every Dream by Alyndra Meron Valeen 20 Summary Sebastian reflects on his strained relationship with Hera, recalling how she used to be the one to end their calls abruptly, disappearing for days until he apologized and things returned to normal. He admits that he used to give her these outs out of respect, even when she didn't deserve it, but now he's done with that dynamic. That night, Sebastian ignores a flood of missed calls from Hera, who continues to call and text him relentlessly.

When he wakes up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, he sees that Hera has called over a hundred times and sent desperate messages begging him to come to a bar where she's alone and cold. Her texts become increasingly emotional and threatening, even including a photo of her looking vulnerable yet seductive, surrounded by men at the bar. Sebastian responds with sarcasm and skepticism, refusing to be manipulated by her pleas.

He points out that Hera, as the powerful CEO of Edge Inc., wouldn't actually be vulnerable in such a situation, and he dismisses her attempts to guilt him into coming. Despite her persistence, he stands firm, telling her there's no reason for them to see each other anymore. In the final messages, Sebastian makes it clear that their relationship is over and that the only meeting they should have is at the courthouse on Monday to sign their divorce papers.

He expresses his desire for Hera to stop intruding into his life now that they are apart, signaling his resolve to move on from their toxic connection.
