Standing before love The wedding
Realizing that Tony didn’t seem too interested to speak about his job, Myra decided to shut her mouth. He was busy right now anyway, so she didn’t want to disturb him. As she had her cell phone with her, there were many things she could do to entertain herself, and she didn’t feel bored at all. She would never be bored when Tony was with her.In the end, she decided to play some games as it was a good choice to pass time. While she was fighting vigorously in her game, Tony was fighting hard in his work.Without knowing how many rounds she had played, he finally lifted his head and smiled. “Let’s go home together when I’m done, Myra,” he said loudly, but she was so engrossed with the game that she didn’t hear him at all.Therefore, he paced in front of her and repeated everything he just said. Only then did she look up, and she realized that her neck felt a little sore from looking down at her cell phone the whole time. “Are we going home?” she asked.“Well, we’re not in a rush to go h

Even after a while, Myra didn’t give him any reply, and it made him anxious. Hence, he urged her with a look, but she avoided it deliberately. Although she wanted to marry him, all kinds of thoughts bubbled in her heart when it hit her that the wedding was really happening soon.She didn’t know what she was avoiding, but she suddenly felt bad about herself and didn’t want to see him disappointed.Nodding her head strongly, she then said, “Any day which you think is the best is fine with me.” She didn’t mind letting him make the decision as she was worried that she might feel burdened before the wedding.At this time, Heather came into her mind. Maybe I can tell Heather about it and she can give me some advice, she thought, knowing that Heather had a certain level of understanding when it came to matters of the heart. Right now, Myra didn’t understand why she was having this mentality.A genuine and innocent smile appeared on Tony’s face. He always thought of marrying Myra, and this wa

Another busy day, and another mountain of documents were waiting for Myra to go through. She went to her desk and started working quickly. Nothing’s easy around here. Gotta work hard.Heather was already immersed in work. She had been going to work early for the past few days. Most of the time, she would be the first to arrive. The office was always eerily quiet this early in the morning, but she had to come no matter what. Blake was assigning a lot of irrelevant work for her, but she couldn’t refuse, so she went on with it, though work had been giving her a headache.It wasn’t until she was halfway done when the other employees started coming in, and Blake came the latest of them all. He was the CEO after all, so he could work whenever he wanted. On the other hand, Heather never abused her privileges, nor would she butt heads with Blake. However, Blake kept harassing her, much to her chagrin.She wouldn’t mind working in the company if everything was smooth sailing, but nay. She had

“Imagine if both your wife and your lover fell into the water at the same time—who would you save first?”Upon remembering what her friend had said a few days ago, Myra felt her heart ache; it was so acute that it threatened to suffocate her. She stood stiffly in the banquet hall while the exquisite knee-length blue dress she wore was glued to her wet body, making her like a drowned rat.When the company employees in the hall saw her, they began to whisper and snicker among themselves. She did not have to eavesdrop to know what they said about her.“She’s trying to climb the corporate ladder by sleeping with the director…”“I heard she wanted to push the director’s girlfriend into the pool!”“How could someone who acts high and mighty all the time be so shameless?”A few moments ago, Myra had been taking a stroll in the back gardens of The Alegria when Eris, a rising star and Sean’s latest conquest, approached her and blocked her way.“Myra, you may be Sean’s legal wife, but if I were

For a moment, she wondered whether he even heard her. He was already dressed and stood tall, but he did not respond as he took out a heart-shaped red velvet box from the drawer. Sean glanced at his watch. When he looked up again, his face was colored with indifference and annoyance. “Myra, don’t pull any of those dirty tricks against my woman. I’ve fulfilled your wish for a marriage—what more do you want from me? If you want to claim me as your own, I’m afraid I have no such feelings for you. If you want my heart—” “I told you I wasn’t the one who pushed Eris into the pond!” Myra interrupted him through gritted teeth before he could say anything more condescending. Her lips were pale and she trembled so badly that she could collapse at any given moment. Upon hearing what she said, Sean scowled. “Are you saying that she lied?” A look of disgust passed over his face as he scoffed and turned from her. “She can’t swim—did you know that? She could have drowned if I did not arrive on ti
Last Updated : 2024-08-08Standing before love The return of the prodigy
Being a member of Stark, Myra was well aware of the Harts’ existence since they were one of the most prominent families in Bradfort City. Tony had three siblings in total—a sister and two brothers, all of whom were older than him. His sister was married and both his brothers were in politics and the military respectively, making him the only child out of the four to display a keen interest in business. He was the grandson whom the old Sebastian Hart doted on the most. However, Myra heard that Tony had been a rebel in his younger days and he had refused to inherit the family fortune. She wondered what could have made him return suddenly to take over the Hart Group. On the other hand, she could also understand why the ladies were fascinated with him. After all, he was the heir to the Hart Family business, which meant his worth and stature were undoubtedly impressive. He was also the walking textbook example of tall, dark and handsome. There was something oddly familiar about his eyes

The elevator shook slightly with a muffled thud as it started to make its way up. Myra could not react in time and stumbled onto the man next to her before she could hold onto the handrail. The man’s open shirt collar brushed against her forehead. She was close to him—exceptionally close that she could smell the faintest hint of tobacco mingling with his clean, cool scent. Tilly, on the other hand, had regained her footing and was shocked at Myra’s predicament. She quickly pulled Myra onto her feet as she cried out, “Myra!” When Myra stumbled over earlier, she had felt a hand reaching out to hold her up by the waist. She felt the fingers pressing against her skin as the person steadied her and there was strength in the grip. “Myra, are you okay?” Tilly asked with concern. It was fortunate that the man had caught Myra before she fell over, although she had to admit that she had never been this intimate with any man other than Sean. She steadied herself and shook her head at Tilly.

“Um…” Myra found herself at a loss for words as she blinked at him.A graceful Tony stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray. She stared at his long fingers as he did so, noting how slender and delicately tapered they were.She swallowed; she could not help but think how he held onto her waist with the same hand earlier today in the elevator. She then nodded embarrassedly. “Yes, I’ve been married for two years.”Her heart wrenched at the thought of her marriage and bitterness flashed across her features.However, Tony seemed oblivious to the shift in her expression as he went on to say, “You come from a prominent family, Miss Stark. I’m sure your husband measures up to your impressive stature and I’m certain he adores you as well.”Myra did not know why he was saying all those, but she bridled at his words all the same. A dark look passed over her face as she forced a smile. “Director Hart, aren’t we here to discuss the details for the Sunny Bay Project?”He was about to light up anot

Standing before love Make some time to relax
Noticing how quickly they were picking things up, Sharon decided to teach them another form of flower arrangement. Both of them were agreeable and paid full attention to her class with enthusiasm.The two girls who were chatting away happily earlier were now quiet all of a sudden. Flower arrangement was something which could cultivate a person’s temper and calm down a troubled heart.Occasionally, both of them would exchange looks at each other, but they were mainly focused on the work in their hands as they followed the instructions diligently and appeared to be doing a very good job. Heather seemed to be more gifted, and even Myra was a little ashamed. Still, they both enjoyed the process very much and looked like they were in high spirits.When they were finished with their work, a satisfied smile spread on their faces. Myra turned to look at Heather, and they both let out a small breath. One should focus fully in order to get something done well.“That’s all for today. Both of you
Standing before love The maid of honor
For the entire day, Myra didn’t care much about Tony because he pulled a prank on her early in the morning. This time, Tony had pushed it a little too far though, for they almost ended up in a roleplay this morning, and Myra looked like an aggrieved little wife.Still, Tony couldn’t figure out why she was so mad. He merely pretended to be asleep and made her touch a spot which she thought to be very sensitive, but he didn’t expect that she would jump out of bed in a huff. Even after he repented within himself, he still couldn’t figure it out. Perhaps, he didn’t understand that she was mad because she thought that she finally got the chance to sneak up on him, but everything was actually under his control.Later in Stark Group’s office, Myra was busy with work. The company was now on track, unaffected by the change of ownership. Cameron’s whereabouts were unknown, and he might pose a danger in the future, but she wouldn’t exterminate him since everything was on track now, and she was s
Standing before love Tell me a story
While there were some who were sad, others were happy. On the night of Valentine’s Day, Myra and Tony spent the entire night clinging together, whispering sweet nothings to each other. They had been through so many twists and turns, and it had been a long time since they last enjoyed such a peaceful moment. As they immersed themselves in this moment, they held each other, embracing the beauty of it.“I want Heather to be my maid of honor,” Myra suggested.Taking in the smell of her, Tony appeared intoxicated, and he tightened his hand on her chest. He hugged her tightly, as though he had the whole world in his arms, and he began to smell the scent from her hair again.“Mmh,” he murmured softly. Right now, he would agree to anything she said.“Knock it off.” She moaned for a bit while his hands started to stray around her body. This guy is always fooling around! she thought, feeling somewhat annoyed.“There’s no rush about the wedding. Let’s not speak about the details today. Let’s spe
Standing before love Relationship advice
Matthias felt oddly ashamed of himself as he lowered his cutleries. He watched helplessly as Nikolai stormed off. It seems like Nikolai really treats Heather differently. I’ve always thought that he didn’t know anything about romantic relationships, but I guess that was just because he hadn’t met the right person at the right time. It worries me to see him so deeply infatuated with Heather though. Who would have thought that it would be love at first sight for Nikolai?He reminds me of how I had felt when I first fell in love with Myra after seeing her gentle and warm smile. Love is such an unpredictable thing. Who knows if he’ll spend the rest of his life longing for a girl, or if he’ll be able to get over his feelings before that?Heather lowered her cutleries when she saw how worried Matthias seemed. Any spark of romance that they shared a while ago was completely gone after Nikolai’s sudden appearance. They both exchanged glances with one another, and neither of them looked like t
Standing before love Improving the relationship
Matthias chose and sent the flowers out during his break time, so he assumed that the flowers would have reached Heather’s office by then. I’m sure most women wouldn’t say no to flowers. It might be a rather traditional gift, but I believe it’s customary to gift flowers to one’s girlfriend during celebrations like this.Heather had been kept busy the whole day. She was finishing up her work when a young man arrived at her office with a parcel in his arms. The young man broke into a smile when Heather held the door open for him. He was always polite to his customers, but he was especially friendly that day when he saw how pretty his female customer was. “Hello. This is a gift for you. I’ll need you to sign this,” he uttered politely.She simply took a glance at the rectangular-shaped parcel that was still in his arms without showing any intention of taking it from him. He began to feel rather awkward under her scrutiny, and he couldn’t seem to tell what was going on in her mind. “Who s
Standing before love Lipstick are the best
Compared to Tony’s immaculate preparations, Matthias could only soldier on. In order to ask Heather out during Valentine’s Day, he had to prepare a special gift. While hanging around in a shop, he wondered what Heather might like.Myra would know that best. Bored, Matthias scanned through the array of gifts in front of him. Even though the colorful items were pleasing to the eye, he wasn’t sure if Heather would like them.The shop owner was a middle-aged woman. Aware of Matthias’ distress, she took it on herself to make an inquiry. “Sir, you must have come in search of a gift for your girlfriend!” The fact that she got it right at first glance was proof of her shrewdness.Meanwhile, Matthias kept a straight face while nodding stiffly. It was his first time ever doing something like this, so he was uncomfortable with it. All the while, he was all tensed up as if he were dealing with a dire task.“Here we have all kinds of gifts. What does your girlfriend like?” The lady pressed on, as
