All Chapters of Goodbye, Saintess.: Chapter 321 - Chapter 330

Natasha looked tense standing so close to someone tied to a notorious crime syndicate."Y-You're not… actually friends with gangs and stuff, right?" she whispered.I shook my head at once. Gangs? Criminal syndicates and secret societies? I didn't even know anyone from that world back in Astergrad, which made this all the more confusing."If you're no longer under Sam's employment or command, then why are you still treating me so… deferentially?" I asked.Jackie's expression turned grave. "I have a favor to ask of you, sir."I blinked. "Okay. Now that makes sense. What is it?"Jackie said helplessly, "My sister studies at Astergrad U. Lately, she's been harassed by some powerful people. I want to help her myself, but this is my turf."Sam's influence doesn't reach Astergrad like it does here, but you're different. You're the most powerful man I know. If you can… I hope you'll help my sister. She's nothing like me, Mr. Grimwald. She's a good girl who follows the law and stays out

I chuckled and continued the massage. "Oh, come on. I still haven't gotten used to seeing myself as a CEO. Not long ago, I was just a firefighter. Work meant constant brushes with death. Lives were at stake, and I didn't even count my own."You always feel like you're racing against Death himself. You learn a few things as a firefighter. First aid, and somehow… massaging. I picked it up because I used to sprain my ankles during missions too, haha!""Gee, you should be a CEO instead," Natasha remarked."Why? Because I'd make more money?" I asked. Talking like this seemed to distract her."No. Because it's safer. No one has to constantly worry that you might not come back from a mission," she replied.I froze.In five years of marriage, I had never heard Hera say anything like that. She had never worried about my life."You're really kind, Nat.""How about you repay my kindness by massaging my other foot too?" She smiled and placed her good foot on my lap."You're actually treat

It took Hera only a few seconds to remember that she had never visited Sebastian's parents, let alone called them her parents-in-law. Could this be why he hadn't told her? Because he was already disappointed?"I'm so sorry, Sebastian. I didn't know better back then! But things will be different now. I'll make it up to you!" she told herself and pressed the pedal hard.Unbeknownst to her, a nondescript black car trailed behind. Behind the wheel sat Edmund, who had been absent from her life for some time.Ever since he embarrassed himself at the bar, Edmund had left Hera with Bobby in tow. Unfortunately, he had been running into hard times. He had also failed to charm any sugar mommy to sponsor his lifestyle, leaving Hera as the only one he had any shot with."It's been long enough, right? I bet you aren't as pissed at me as before, right?" he muttered.Bobby tiredly looked at his father from the backseat. His face looked sunken and a bit too bony. "Dad… where are we going? I'm hung

I was a little surprised."I mean, I could be mistaking someone else for her, but it's better to err on the side of caution. That bitch is crazy and dumb. If she starts begging you to take her back, don't fall for it, man!" Elio said. "I didn't tell you for over two days because I didn't want to disturb you. It made me feel like crap too. I'm glad I can finally say it!"I smiled and patted his back. "You're a real one, homie. Once my dad's fully recovered, dinner's on me!"Elio chuckled. "No, bro. You're treating me to a couple of beers… specifically at a bachelor party before your wedding to Natasha Summers-soon-Grimwald.""Whoa. Me? Marrying Nat? Since when did this become a thing?""My brethren! It's only a matter of time!""No thanks, bro!"Elio returned to his clinic, resuming his work, while I set mine aside to keep my parents company at the hospital.-A week passed. My dad's recovery went smoothly, and he was ready to be discharged.Hera hadn't shown up. I was startin

"Besides, ten more days and we'll finally be legally divorced!"I turned on my heel and marched off.Behind me, I heard Hera break into an agonized sob. She rushed forward and threw her arms around me tightly. "I'm here to tell you that I'm sorry, Sebastian! I didn't know it would turn out this way! Please forgive me, please! I haven't hugged you for so long! I'm sorry!"Hera had never acted so pathetically toward me before.So what?"Go away!" I snarled, swatting her off. I stormed into the sickroom and slammed the door behind me.Hera collapsed onto the floor, still sobbing. Her image as an aloof, icy CEO was gone, but she didn't care. She just kept wailing, "I was wrong, Sebastian! I will sever my ties with them! I won't even care about Bobby anymore! Please, wait for me! I know you can hear me! I know you heard me!"Other patients and their families had begun peeking down the corridor, but Hera ignored them. She got to her feet, wiped her tears, and walked away with renewed
