Standing before love Reading too much into thing
“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
Standing before love Never meant to hurt her
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
Standing 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
Standing before love Who are these two
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.
Standing before love Her words angered him
“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 Different treatment
She quietly chuckled in a cold voice. “Sean, I thought that you no longer care about my business. Maybe the question I should ask is—do you still care about me?”Sean pressed his lips together tightly and he did not answer her.Myra’s heart sank, even though her face was stoic. She then turned and went upstairs without saying anything.It could have been due to the time she spent in the cold water, which caused her to run a temperature that night. For the first half of the night, she dreamt a lot—one was about the moment she met Sean and how she watched as he acted lovey-dovey with another woman. Then, she finally settled down with him and they were married. The final scene was at their wedding.Exhaustion was visible on Sean’s face while his bloodshot eyes were filled with hatred as he coldly demanded, “Say it again—have you ever wronged me?!”Myra clenched her fist and she forced herself to shake her head.Sean’s expression instantly became gloomy. “Alright. Just as you wished.”His
Standing before love I’m not close
Myra stopped her writing, but she did not raise her head. “You don’t have to return with me. I will explain to Mom when I arrive home.”“What are you going to explain to her?” Sean’s expression was dark as he narrowed his eyes. “Myra, you are not mad, are you? I never pegged you as the petty type.”Petty? Myra closed her eyes. What should I do to avoid being petty, then? “My husband is going to purchase an outfit for his lover before taking me home. Sean, don’t you think that you’re being cruel?”As she knew that she would not be able to concentrate on the design, she put her pen down before she raised her eyes to look at the incredibly handsome man. Sean was indeed good-looking—he was blessed with a high nose bridge and thin lips. When he gazed at a woman gently, it felt like he was about to procure the whole world for her. How could any woman not fall in love with a man like him?“Director Chase, if you have nothing else to talk about, please take your leave. I can’t attend to you a
Standing before love Just an act
However, Myra was nowhere like Estelle.Even though she was extremely disappointed, she still had a slight hope for that man.She was well aware that she was hopeless, but she was unwilling to let her sacrifices over the years go in vain. If so, how much worth does my love even have?When Myra saw Estelle feigning that she lost her balance before accidentally falling into the arms of a man not far away, she smiled and heaved a sigh as she rose to leave.In the main hall of Zion Club, Leo handed the car keys to the waiter for him to park the car. As soon as he entered the club, he saw Myra leaving with a dazed look on her face. Although he was slightly shocked, he quickly entered the club.The particular private VIP room of Zion Club was different from the normal rooms as it was Elliot Samson’s private room bearing more luxury while remaining low profile. Cigarette smoke filled the entire room as people played cards, sang songs, and even wailed loudly.If one had a good eye, one would
