Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

" You're not even going to put on a show now ? Not even come up with some grand excuse to justify why you should have 14 million ? Why don't you just rob a bank if you're going to be this lazy ? " I retorted . " Aren't you supposed to be some business genius with the prophetic ability to tell which ventures are going to fail ? Well , congratulations! You got it right ! Edge is in a funding crisis right now ! " Give me that money , and the problem will be solved . You predicted this would happen . So you should shoulder the responsibility ! " Hera demanded . What the actual hell ?

The nerve of this weirdo! I glared at her . " You aren't squeezing even a nickel from me ! Now get out of the car and into that courthouse ! " " No money ? No divorce ! I'm not going to let you prance around like you're throwing a victory parade ! " she shot back . " At the very least , you should tell me how to get Edge out of this crisis . " " Why the hell should I help you ? Who do you even think you are ? " I sneered . " How disappointing a man do you strive to be , Sebastian ?! You pointed out the problems in my company , and yes , I didn't listen back then . But you were my husband !

You should have kept at it for my benefit ! I could have listened eventually ! " I have never seen a man hold grudges this long . Grow up ! How long are you going to brood over your advice for Edge failing , or your beef with Edmund and Bobby ? " she ranted , her disappointment palpable . My patience was gone . " I don't give a shit ! I'm going to use another way to get this divorce . Thirty days from now , our marriage will be over . Good riddance to you ! " I snapped , kicking the door open before slamming it shut . The driver's seat door suddenly opened .

The silent stranger stepped out and approached me . " Sebastian Grimwald , right ? Can you please reconsider your position ? You were once her husband too . Would you want a beautiful woman like her to cry ? That's not very gentlemanly , " he said , half - smiling . He extended his hand . " Pleased to meet you . I'm Bastien Thierry , originally an investor of Edge . I drove Ms. Bishop here today, but I didn't expect to meet someone so ungracious along the way . It's only 14 million dollars . It's hardly more than a pittance , especially when she deserves more .

" Bastien lifted his head as though preparing to address any woman with a courtly " milady . " I did not shake his hand . I just stared at him . " Feeling self - conscious ? Too late for regret . I wouldn't allow a woman this beautiful to remain with a man incapable of bringing her happiness . The thought's too painful to bear , " he said . He glanced at Hera , and his eyes softened . " Dumbfuck , " I muttered , turned on my heels , and walked away . Bastien stiffened , bemused . Only after Sebastian had walked far did he finally snap out of his confusion and snarl , " Asshole !

" " Ignore him , Bastien , " Hera called out . " Thank you for driving me here . Sorry you had to see all that . " Any malice and rage vanished from his face . He smiled gently . " It's my pleasure to help , Ms. Bishop . In fact , if you wish , I could even invest more in your company . Fourteen million dollars is nothing to me .
