Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

The Unseen Kingdom That Followed Me Into Every Dream by Alyndra Meron Valeen 74 Summary In this chapter, Howard confronts Ezra with sharp anger, warning him to stay quiet and suggesting that Miley will soon arrive to handle Ezra's outburst. Howard chooses to spend his evening with Claire and the narrator, Sebastian, rather than engage further with Ezra's fury. Howard politely asks Sebastian how he has been, and compliments Claire, who shyly responds with a smile.

Claire reminds Sebastian that they must pretend to be a couple in front of her friends, as she had already introduced him as her boyfriend. This explains the hostile glare Ezra had been giving Sebastian since his arrival. Claire's friends enter and react with surprise and curiosity, especially when they overhear the claim that Sebastian and Claire are married. Claire quickly clarifies that they are not married yet but explains Sebastian's connection to Howard, revealing Sebastian's past heroic actions.

The revelation impresses Claire's friends, who express admiration for Sebastian's bravery and charm. Ezra, however, becomes increasingly furious as his attempts to assert dominance fail in front of everyone. His anger escalates as he defensively boasts about his new job and financial stability, trying to regain respect and prove he is not to be underestimated. The chapter ends with Ezra's explosive outburst, highlighting the tension and conflict between him and the others. Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below "Shut your trap. You still think you have the upper hand?

For God's sake!" Howard's voice cracked sharply, his chest heaving with fury as he glared across the room. "Mr. Grimwald? Miss? Please, just ignore that rabid dog over there. Once Miley shows up, we can all sit back and watch his sister personally tear him apart." Howard was far too sensible to waste his energy engaging with a seething Ezra. Instead, he chose to focus on spending time with Claire and me, which felt like a far better use of his evening. "So, how have you been, Mr. Grimwald?" Howard asked, his tone polite and steady. "I've been fine," I replied curtly.

"Splendid!" Howard's gaze shifted to Claire, who still held my hand with a firm but gentle grip. "Wow, your wife is as stunning as you are charming, Mr. Grimwald!" Claire blushed slightly, a shy smile tugging at her lips. "Oh, you're too kind, Mr. Wynn," she said softly, as if she almost believed the compliment. I opened my mouth to correct her. "Er, no. We're-" Before I could finish, her hand moved up and pressed gently against my lips. She leaned in close, her breath warm against my ear. "Shh! I'm your landlady, remember? You have to play along, Sebastian. See my friends over there?

I told them you're my boyfriend before you arrived, so now you have to act the part while they watch." She squeezed my arm lightly, a silent reminder. That explained the icy glare Ezra had been shooting me the moment I stepped inside. I turned to look. Claire's friends had emerged from the next room, their eyes locked on us with curiosity and silent judgment. I could only nod in acknowledgment. Claire smiled, clearly pleased, and withdrew her hand with a sense of triumph. Howard chuckled softly. "Well, well!

I feel like I'm intruding on a married couple!" he teased, amusement sparkling in his eyes. Claire's friends' eyes widened in surprise. "Married?!" one of them exclaimed. Suddenly, a voice called out from the hallway. "Cici, what's going on? We heard noises from outside!" "Oh my God, what's wrong with Ezra? He looks awful... When did you two get married?" another friend asked, her tone a mix of shock and curiosity. "We're not married yet," Claire said matter-of-factly, brushing off the question. "And the one who beat up Ezra was Mr.

Wynn-the owner of this karaoke bar and Ezra's brother-in-law. Sebastian saved Mr. Wynn and his family before. That's how they know each other." Her friends gasped, clearly taken aback. None of them had expected me to have connections to someone so influential. And the fact that I had even made the boss rough up his own family was astonishing to them. "After all that bragging, you mean nothing, Ezra!" one friend said triumphantly. "Whoa, Cici's boyfriend saved lives before! That's seriously impressive!" another added. "And he's hot, too.

Damn, they're a perfect match!" a third chimed in, eyes sparkling with admiration. Ezra's face twisted with fury. He had spent the entire evening trying to prove his superiority, only to have it all crumble in front of everyone within minutes. "Shut up! Shut the fuck up!" he snarled, rage swallowing his reason. He forced himself to stand, his voice booming as he shouted, "You normies have no right to look down on me! You think my sister's the only backup I have? Ha! "I was just hired as an assistant manager at Baron Inc.!

I'm set for life, unlike you losers and ditch-squatters!" Conclusion The evening's tension slowly dissolved into a complex blend of relief and quiet triumph, as Claire and I found strength in the fragile facade we maintained. Her gentle touch and whispered reminder anchored me amid the storm of judgment and hostility, reinforcing the delicate balance we navigated together. The reactions of her friends, from surprise to admiration, illuminated the unseen alliances and histories that shaped our world, revealing how past deeds and hidden connections quietly influence the present.
