Hazbin and Helluva Shorts II

You'll Pay

Stella couldn't believe what she was hearing. Stolas had just declared that they were getting a divorce. How dare he. Then she realized something. And gave a sinister smile. She agreed because she knew karma would take care of him. Days later, Stella and Stolas were before the council of Goetia elites. She stated her case first. Stolas provided multiple accounts of her emotional and verbal abuse over the years. He had the jury on his side. When the head of the council asked if they had closing remarks, he shook his head. But Stella had a trump card. She had told them about her husband's affair with an Imp. However, she hadn't told them every last thing. But she did now. First, the Imp was a guy. Which meant the affair was with some guy, not a woman like her. Second, she revealed that Stolas had been selling the precious Grimoire to the male Imp to keep the affair going. And Stella had proof of all of this.

Everyone gasped. They were shocked. They were horrified. Whispers erupted from the jury and audience. Stella smirked in triumph as Stolas stood there frozen and dumbfounded. It took several minutes for the council to get the room under order. It didn't take long for the jury to give their verdict. Stolas was guilty on all accounts. The council granted the divorce in Stella's favor, even granting her custody of Octavia if the teen chose. Of course, she did. Stolas was an embarrassment; she had suffered a lot of harassment because of his affair with some guy. The council ordered Stolas to return the Grimoire later that day. With that, the case was dismissed.

Stella walked out with her head held high. Octavia proudly followed her mother, and they drove away. They already had a house furnished and ready. Stella was very happy. Life was going to be much better now. She was finally free of her useless and pathetic excuse for a sorry husband. Stella was already planning a party to celebrate this momentous occasion. It was going to be held next week, and everyone was going to be invited. With Stolas out of the way, nothing was holding her back.
