Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

Hera felt a jab in her heart . Tears brimmed , ready to break free . " Is this true ? Or is this all a lie ? She's pretending , isn't she ? Just like me and Bastien ? You're not the kind to sleep around , right ? " I was only putting on a show with Bastien . I wanted you to feel jealous , to come back to me ... But it never seems to work ! I don't understand you at all ! I tried to treat it like a positive , yet all it does is drive you further away from me . " Please , Sebastian ... Please just come home already ! " Hera's chest ached .

She realized she couldn't even explain herself clearly anymore . I watched her pale , panicked expression . Once , a look like that would have meant something . Now , I felt nothing . She had been unfaithful , and that made her less than dirt to me . " We're about to get divorced , Hera . What's your point ? " I said flatly . Her face went even paler . Hera's words had already miffed Leda , so she seized the opening to pour fuel on the fire . " Did you hear him ? He's divorcing you ! He's free to do whatever he pleases . You don't own him !

Why should he go back to you when the two of you are already finished ? Do you even have the right to feel jealous ? " she snarled , releasing her grip on my arm and stepping forward . " He's such a perfect man ! Did you ever think this day would come if you kept hurting him repeatedly ? Did you ever imagine he'd reach a point where he couldn't take it anymore and finally walked away ? " There are plenty of people out there who know how to appreciate someone this perfect and wonderful . This is your loss , and you should just take that L already !

" She paused , then added with venom , " In fact , I should thank you , Hera . Thank you for being such an inferior wife back then , so I can have my chance with him now ! " Her words struck sharply . Hera staggered backward , tears streaming down her face as she sobbed . Then , as if clinging to a final thread , she lifted her head with sudden indignation . " We're still in the observation period . We aren't legally divorced yet . That means he's still mine ! " she declared with resolve . Leda froze , startled to see her regaining confidence . This wasn't some run - of - the - mill ex .

" But he doesn't love you anymore ! " " So what ? " Hera wiped away her tears . Her composure returned , along with a chilling confidence . " I'll be waiting for you at home , honey . Whether you come back or not , it will always be your home . " She turned to Leda again . " I wasn't a good wife . I didn't know better , which is why I almost lost him . But this is between us . An outsider like you has no right to interfere ! 1/2 Chapter 293 +25 Bonus " I'm not inferior to you in looks or figure . Maybe I fall short in wealth and status , but for Sebastian , I will one day eclipse you .

" Do you know why ? Because I never lose ! " she declared , straightening her back as she swept out of the banquet like a queen . Leda stood stunned for a long beat . " What the hell , bitch ? As if I've ever lost to anyone ! " she muttered . Leda was every bit as proud , every bit as high - achieving - a diva to her core . 2/2 Sara Lili Sara Lili is a daring romance writer who turns icy landscapes into scenes of fiery passion.
