Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

The Unseen Kingdom That Followed Me Into Every Dream by Alyndra Meron Valeen 81 Summary Claire was upset with Sebastian, muttering angrily that their conflict was not over, though she remained silent behind her closed door in the morning. Sebastian, noticing her absence or possible hangover, decided not to dwell on it and headed out to Baron Inc. to finalize the registration of his company, feeling cautiously optimistic about the day ahead. At Baron Inc., Sebastian unexpectedly encountered Ezra Chapelle, a man with a limp and a grudge from a previous confrontation.

Ezra, who claimed to be the assistant manager there, immediately challenged Sebastian, still angry about the events from the night before. Despite Sebastian's efforts to avoid conflict and focus on his business, Ezra was determined to provoke him, asserting that this was now his territory and that Sebastian had chosen the wrong place for a fight. Sebastian tried to calm Ezra, explaining that he was there for a legitimate business purpose and had no interest in continuing their feud.

He reminded Ezra of the respect owed to Miley and Howard, who were decent people and had been involved in the past conflict. However, Ezra dismissed Sebastian's words and mocked his ambitions, escalating the tension with insults and threats, refusing to back down from the confrontation. The encounter ended unresolved, with Ezra taunting Sebastian and suggesting he should beg for forgiveness, indicating that the hostility between them was far from over.

Sebastian's attempt at peace had failed, leaving the conflict hanging as he prepared to move forward with his business plans despite the looming threat of further trouble. Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below "Damn it! This isn't over, Sebastian!" Claire muttered angrily under her breath. Morning light filtered softly through the curtains. After freshening up and preparing to leave, I noticed Claire's door remained firmly closed. The room was silent; no sounds stirred from within. I wondered if she had already left or was still asleep.

Honestly, it wasn't something I needed to concern myself with. Nothing had happened between us last night, and she'd had quite a few drinks. Most likely, she was just nursing a hangover. I called an Uber and made my way to Baron Inc. I already had the money in hand. If the contract signing went smoothly, my company would be officially registered by day's end. Feeling cautiously optimistic, I wasn't expecting to encounter the last person I wanted to see-Ezra Chapelle. He approached with a noticeable limp. I vaguely remembered him boasting once about being an assistant manager at Baron Inc.

Frankly, I was surprised he wasn't resting at home after last night's events. Still, I had no desire to bring our conflict into Baron's workplace. I chose to ignore him and waited for him to pass before stepping into the elevator. But some people just can't avoid trouble. "Sebastian?! What are you doing here? Didn't I torment you enough last night?" he demanded with a shaky voice. He had recognized me immediately. Old anger flared across his face. He clenched his teeth so hard it seemed they might crack. "Look, I'm not here to keep this going. Last night was enough.

I thought justice had been served," I said calmly. "Let's just drop it and focus on our own business." "Screw you! You think I'd buy that, you shameless bastard?" Ezra snapped back. His old instincts had kicked in now that Howard and Miley weren't around to hold him back. He jabbed a finger toward me. "You're dead wrong! This isn't my sister's karaoke bar anymore. You don't have her protection. You chose the wrong battleground for round two, moron. This is my turf now!" Ezra was fired up.

In his mind, this was his chance to reclaim every ounce of pride he'd lost last night-especially since the karaoke bar had been his home ground. "You should be telling yourself that," I replied. "I'm here to sign a partnership deal with Baron Goldman himself. So don't start a fight. It won't end well for you, and frankly, I don't want it to." I meant every word. The bruises on his face were still obvious, and his limp was hard to miss. Seeing him like this was far from satisfying. Miley and Howard were decent people. For their sake, I was willing to show Ezra some grace.

Besides, arrogance alone wasn't a crime worth ruining someone over. But my attempt at peace fell on deaf ears. Ezra wasn't backing down. "Oh wow. That's the funniest damn bluff I've heard all week! Why would a firefighting reject like you be meeting someone as important as my boss?" he taunted. "You'd better get on your knees and beg for forgiveness right now. Then slap yourself until I feel better," he sneered. "Unless-" Conclusion The tension between Sebastian and Ezra lingered heavily in the air, a stark reminder of the unresolved conflicts that shadowed their paths.

Despite the bitterness and bruises, Sebastian's resolve to rise above the past and pursue his ambitions was clear. His calm demeanor amidst Ezra's provocations revealed a deeper strength, one rooted not in dominance but in a desire for peace and progress. The chapter delicately balanced the rawness of old wounds with the cautious hope of new beginnings. Amidst the clashing tempers and unspoken grudges, the story gently underscored themes of resilience, pride, and the struggle for redemption.

The simmering hostility between them threatens to erupt, especially with Ezra staking his claim over the territory where past conflicts unfolded. Readers will find themselves on edge, wondering how Sebastian will navigate this volatile encounter without jeopardizing the fragile peace he's trying to maintain. Meanwhile, the unresolved dynamics with Claire linger in the background, adding an emotional undercurrent to Sebastian's day. Her closed door and silence hint at a distance that might soon demand attention, potentially complicating Sebastian's focus on the professional front.
