Goodbye Saintess (by Edelweiss W.S.) novel Chapter 91

The Unseen Kingdom That Followed Me Into Every Dream

Chapter 91

Stepping out of the bathroom, I caught the sound of a familiar female voice calling my name. “Sebastian?” she said, her tone tinged with surprise.

I spun around, my heart skipping a beat when I saw Hera standing there.

“What are you doing here?” I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.

She mirrored my question with a curious look. “I was just about to ask you the same thing. When I first walked into this building, I thought I saw you. And it really is you,” she said, her eyes scanning me closely. There was a flicker of longing hidden behind her gaze.

“I’m here to take part in the Project Investment Forum,” I replied. “I heard you left your firefighting job to start a business. So, are you here for the Forum as well?” she inquired.

I gave a brief nod. “You could say that.”

Her eyes drifted down to my hands, brows knitting in concern. “Where’s your proposal? Did you come to the Forum empty-handed?”

Hera’s initial urge was to tell me to stop wasting time and come back to her. But the words caught in her throat, replaced instead by a sharp edge of sarcasm. “I hate to explain this like you’re a child, but do you even know what Baron Inc. is? They won’t back someone new who has nothing to show for themselves.”

She smirked, clearly enjoying the moment. “My advice? Just go home before the Forum even starts. Trust me, you don’t want to embarrass yourself in front of everyone.”

She laughed bitterly. “Please. Grow up already.”

I saw it again in her eyes—that same contempt she’d worn like armor for five long years.

The old me might have argued back, might have tried to prove her wrong. But now? I simply didn’t care. I owed no explanation to a narrow-minded, ignorant soon-to-be ex-wife who couldn’t even see how deep her own foolishness ran.

“Whatever helps you sleep at night,” I said flatly, turning away.

She followed close behind, her voice dripping with false pity. “Fine. We are husband and wife, aren’t we? Since you’re here now, I’ll let you stand by my side. Let me show you what it really means.”
