Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

2/2 Chapter 453 " Let go right now ! " Zlatan looked up and saw the cold indifference on my face . He assumed they did not know each other , and his temper flared . He lunged forward , brutal and determined , trying to wrench Hera from me . " No , he's my husband , Sebastian ! Don't you dare separate us ! Dear husband , say something . Please , you weren't like this before ! " Zlatan's eyes went murderous . Hera froze , panic written across her face , and she stared at me with a pain that cut . Back then , Sebastian had protected her as if his life depended on it .

He would step between her and any threat without a second thought . He had coddled her . " Back then I complained you were annoying and meddlesome . But now you don't care anymore ? " Hera's tears had almost dried . It felt as if the most important thing inside her had been ripped away . I heard her words and snorted inwardly . She had already given me the reason . " I don't want to meddle anymore , " I said coolly , meeting her with indifference . " Let go . " " No ! No , you can't . I'm out of options . I owe money . Those sums might be nothing to you now , but please help me .

Otherwise , they'll sell me off or even take my kidney . Dear husband ! Sebastian ! " Hera sobbed and shook her head , refusing to let go . She would not face the reality behind her , and she would not release the fantasy in front of her . I frowned . " You owe money . What does that have to do with me ? " The words slipped out without hesitation . I had not become a stone - cold monster overnight . It was history . She had once said the exact same thing to me . Back when we were married , I had just changed jobs and earned a tiny salary .

My parents faced a crisis , and my savings fell short . I asked her for help for the first time , and she was out entertaining people . She cut me off without hesitation over the phone . " Why should I pay for your family's problems ? " The call had ended , and I had felt frozen inside . Looking back now , she did not deserve my pity . " How can you be like this to me ? " Hera's voice broke . She looked stunned and devastated . The debt collectors had figured out our relationship . It did look like we were husband and wife . " You're really her husband ? " Zlatan asked , brow narrowing .

" Ex - husband , " I said coolly , my expression unchanged . " An ex is still a husband ! " Zlatan's face lit up . He had finally found someone with the means to pay . " You look like you have money , " he said with a leer . " She may be your ex , but as a man you should not be petty . No matter what she did before , at least help her pay the debt . " Zlatan and his goons closed in , smiling like predators . " How much ? " I asked , frowning . 1/2 +25 Bonus " Not much , just a few hundred thousand . " 1 " A few hundred thousand ? " I repeated . " You expect me to hand that over ?

Force it from me ? " " Of course we will not force it from you , " Zlatan said . " We go after people who can pay . She's here . If you flat - out refuse to help her , there is nothing we can do . Then we'll take this woman down the mountain and milk whatever value she has left . We're not running a charity .
