Goodbye Saintess (by Edelweiss W.S.) 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.
