Goodbye Saintess. novel Chapter 14

Chapter 14 I played the clip . The bar’s harsh music blared in the background while the man and woman clung to each other like a pair of teenagers in heat . The woman especially stood out in that outfit – flashy , provocative , and completely unlike how I remembered her . It was indeed Hera . I had never seen her dressed like that .

Did she finally stop using her precious Lord Zeno as an excuse and start going all in with Edmund ? A strange emotion stirred in me . I wasn’t upset – why should I be , over someone who had never loved me ? But I wasn’t exactly fine either . It felt like I’d spent years loving a mirage . And now that mirage was grinding against another man in some sleazy bar . Honestly , I was just glad we had gone our separate ways . I’d dodged a bullet . My phone buzzed . Chase was calling , and I answered . ” Hey man , what’s going on with this ? That’s her , right ? Your rich , beautiful wife … Hera ?

Or am I losing it ? I thought she was a hardcore Awakenist . What is she even doing there ? ” He stumbled over his words , clearly trying to find the right tone . ” Don’t take this the wrong way , bro , but I figured … I thought you should know . ” ” No , it’s fine , ” I said . ” You’re right . That’s Hera . ” He went quiet for a second , then exclaimed , ” What?! ” A moment later , he added , ” I found this video in one of the groups I’m in . It’s recent , and I know that place. I can send you the address if you want … ” His voice trailed off .

No straight man would be okay seeing his wife dressed like that in a place like that , clinging to some other guy . No one could be . But it didn’t matter to me . I was the one who ended it . I was free , and I wasn’t about to let her humiliate me any further . I’d already wasted too much time and energy on her . At least I got out before it got worse . That was enough . She could do whatever she wanted . I honestly didn’t care . ” Nah . We’re divorced . I’m the one who wanted it , ” I said . ” This isn’t my business anymore . ” ” You got divorced ? Damn . I’m sorry , man . I didn’t know .

You wanna talk about it ? We can grab a drink . ” He probably thought I was crushed and that I regretted losing someone so stunning, powerful , and rich . He couldn’t have been more wrong . ” Oh , I’m good , Chase . Better than good . I’m way better off without her . Honestly , it’s something to celebrate . ” He sent a crown emoji . ” Hey , is this yours ? You dropped this , king . Mad respect ! You’re the kind of guy who’s gonna end up with someone way better . ” I laughed . ” Yeah , thanks . ” We chatted for a bit longer before I ended the call .
