Goodbye Saintess (by Edelweiss W.S.) novel Chapter 48

“How could you do this to me? I’ve been your wife for five years! Forget this talk of divorce right now because I will never agree. You are stuck with me forever.” Hera finally released all her pent–up frustration and returned to her seat calmly. “I’ll agree to any condition if you call off the divorce. I can even remove the monthly limit on sex…”

Her voice trembled slightly. “We won’t be restricted to just the sixteenth anymore.”

This was the biggest concession Hera had ever made To her, it was the ultimate proof of her sincerity. She believed that even with that young woman throwing herself at Sebastian, he still loved only her.

They had been together for five years, and she knew him well. She knew how much he looked forward to that one evening, each

month.

“Do you really think I care about any of that?” I replied calmly, then burst into a snicker. “Get this through your head those rules mean anything the moment we divorce. Understand? What I want to remove is you as my wife.”

Hera gasped, feeling her chest tighten. She struggled to breathe. “You’re not serious.”

“For God’s sake, why wouldn’t I be? This is getting old,” I sneered impatiently.

I turned to her and saw her avoid my gaze. She had been trying not to notice the anger on my face, as if ignoring it would help her believe I wasn’t upset.

“So what if you’re serious?” she mumbled, clutching a pen. “You can’t divorce me unless I sign the papers too. This is a partnership, not a tyranny.”

I laughed out loud. “Are you mentally twirling your mustache, thinking you’re some genius? Even if you refuse, the law says couples living apart for two years or more can sue for divorce. I can sue you.”

She stared at me in disbelief. “You’d do all this just for her? Why? How am I worse than she is?”

“She’s got nothing to do with this. I’m not fighting for her. I’m fighting for myself. I’m sick of you.”

Hera winced. After a moment, she finally replied, “Fine. I’ll sign the papers. But I want a new agreement.”

“Why?” I asked sharply.

What scheme was she planning now?

“I don’t like how our shared wealth is divided. I want you to be penniless after this,” she said.

I couldn’t believe it. It took me seconds to realize she wasn’t joking.

I laughed scornfully. “Why would I agree to that?”
