Standing before love I want to go home
She wondered what would happen this time.This time, Tony would no longer be there for her. After all, she was the one who rejected his advances.As these thoughts ran wild in her mind, Myra felt a sense of despair that coursed through her veins. At this point, she couldn’t quite move her body, and it felt as stiff as a board.“Miss Stark, why don’t you give Mr. Chase a call? You should get him to arrange for a lawyer or to come over and post bail as soon as possible,” reminded a young female cop. She had a look of pity on her face as she saw Myra’s expressionless face.Shortly after that, she shoved a cell phone into Myra’s hands.Myra sat there staring blankly at the phone in her hands. Sean is probably the last person on earth I would call. What a joke.It was quite likely that he would hang up on her if she made that call. Moreover, it was wishful of her to expect him to post bail or even arrange for her a lawyer.But then, who else can I seek help from now?At that thought, Myra

“I’ll leave the rest to you,” Tony stoically informed Leo as he felt the fear radiating from the woman in his embrace. He then tightened his arms around her as he held her closer against him before they walked out.There was a chill that lingered in Tony’s wake when he left the station. The captain watched him leaving and turned to ask Leo warily, “Mr. Clark, what’s going on here? Miss Fisher said she had Director Hart’s permission before she asked us to make an arrest.”“Director Hart’s permission?” Leo chuckled dryly, knowing that Lyla had crossed the line. How dare that woman do something like this to Myra?“I’ve already told you what Director Hart has given permission on, Captain Fowler. It seems like you’re more willing to listen to someone with a pretty face.” Leo’s tone became aggressive.In the beginning, he had privately informed Captain Fowler to take good care of Miss Stark. Not only did they switch her holding cell, which sent Leo and the others on a wild goose chase, they

Upon hearing the door open behind him, Sebastian turned with a grim expression on his face. His eyes widened when he saw Myra; as realization dawned upon him, he stormed toward them. He shot an icy glare at her as he snapped, “So, is this why you have not been bothered to keep food in your apartment? You’ve been staying with my grandson all along! Did you rush home last night after you learned that I was dropping by your place?”Meanwhile, Myra stared at the old man in shock. She did not think that he would show up in Tony’s apartment.Feeling as though she had been caught with her hand in the cookie jar, she flushed with embarrassment. “Tony, maybe you should let me down,” she said in a feeble voice while tugging on Tony’s shirt. As she did so, Sebastian caught sight of the red marks on her wrists.When he saw that and her swollen eyes, his eyes widened even more. He glowered at Tony while he thundered, “Did you abuse her? You have quite the nerve, Tony! Who taught you to behave in a

“My eyes are ugly now, though…”Myra’s eyes were swollen after she cried for the entire day. She was sure that she looked hideous and did not want Tony to see her in that shape. However, he gently caressed her temples and brushed his lips over the tops of her eyes before he said, “Your eyes are anything but ugly. In fact, they’re beautiful.”“You must be blind,” she muttered, although she would hate for him to agree that her eyes were hideous, even if she said so herself.He chuckled.His voice was husky and sultry on its own, but when he laughed like that, she felt that she could show him every part of her. His piercing gaze was fixed on her and she found herself blushing once more.“Blinded by your beauty,” Tony quipped, his voice heavy with implication. His lips brushed past hers as his kisses trailed down to her neck whereupon he bit and sucked on the supple skin, marking her as his own.Myra felt the blood rush to her face. She had abandoned all efforts to shrink from him and ins

Reflecting on her earlier actions and her words that he was well aware of, Myra’s face flushed red like the sunset.“Tony Hart!” she growled in a low voice like an annoyed kitten.When Tony’s cold eyes saw her face, a gentle look appeared in his eyes as he grabbed her hand, which she had planned to retract. After brushing the strands of hair that fell by her cheeks behind her ears, he asked in a slightly teasing tone, “Fangirling about me early in the morning?”Myra’s face turned even redder as she turned her head. “I just think you are a fool.”“How so? Do enlighten me.” She wondered whether Tony was merely pretending or if he really did not know as he smiled at her.Myra was slightly uncomfortable under his gaze, but she clearly knew that they would have to overcome many obstacles if they wanted to be with each other—one example was the Hart Family.“I’m already married and about to be a divorcee. Only you would want a woman like me. There are many excellent women in Bradfort City,
Last Updated : 2024-08-26Standing before love That person is not you
Right after Myra finished her sentence, someone yelled out loud, “This is impossible!”The person was not Eve or Sean, but it was Lyla.However, she unwillingly lowered her head after Eve glared at her.Eve’s expression also changed immediately. Initially, she thought that everything would end on a good note today after the divorce. Myra seemed to have suddenly turned into a different person as she requested for half of Chase Group’s land in Hilliville.If it was in the past, that piece of land was a dead city, so they would not be shocked if she had asked for half of it. However, now that it was about to be sold off, they would earn money from it. Of course, no one would like to have lower profits.“Myra…” After thinking about it, Eve frowned. “I always felt sorry that you have no affinity with Sean. I like you, but don’t you think your request earlier is overboard? Two years ago, it was Sean who developed Hilliville from scratch. Have you ever thought about us when you requested hal

Myra’s wrist still bore the injuries from the handcuffs the night before. When he held her hand in that moment, she only felt immense pain. With a furious look on her face, she asked, “What the hell are you doing?”Sean did not miss the pain on her face earlier. He lowered his head and saw the injuries on her wrist. Then, his expression immediately changed “What’s this?”It was not just the hand he was holding; her other hand also had similar blue-black bruises on her wrist.“This is none of your business!” Myra forcefully withdrew her hand from Sean’s grip as she withstood the pain.Sean was hesitant. When I went over to her place for a meal, she didn’t have any injuries. After a night… His face suddenly darkened. “Is this because last night, you were brought to…”His sentence trailed off as he closed his mouth with a conflicted expression in his eyes.After being framed by them last night, Myra felt resentful. Even if we can’t be husband and wife, he doesn’t have to frame me with su

So, he’s just asking me to keep it a secret. Lyla’s heart tightened before she heaved a long sigh. “Don’t worry. Even if Director Hart doesn’t tell me this, it will only remain a secret between both of us.”How stupid do I have to be to spill the beans? After all, what I want now is to marry Sean and be the future Mrs. Chase.At such an important juncture, she wanted the incident to be a secret even more than Tony.“In that case, Miss Fisher, the transaction for all the properties under Chase Group in Hilliville will be completed by Director Hart this afternoon,” Leo reported indifferently.Lyla’s heart raced. Sure enough, Director Hart did not lie to me!Her lips curled into a vindictive smile as she happily replied, “Thank you to both of you, Leo and Director Hart.”After Lyla hung up on the call, Eve had a worried expression on her face when the former walked back to them. As soon as she saw Lyla, she quickly asked, “Are there any problems? Is the important customer still buying th

Standing before love Loss of reason
As Heather returned to Langston Group, her mind was full of questions while she troubled herself over the next step. The moment she opened the door to the office, Heather had the urge to cry, but she had no tears to shed. She looked at the man sitting on her seat and gave him a smile that looked worse than crying.“Where’d you go?” Matthias looked at Heather in disdain. It was obvious that he came here to catch her in the act.Matthias’ tone got on Heather’s nerves. She hadn’t even confronted him about the incident the day before, but he dared to use this questioning tone to talk to her.“That’s none of your business. Get off my chair.” Heather wasn’t intimidated in the least. If it weren’t for the glass door, she would’ve made Matthias wish he were dead.She was suddenly impressed by Blake for getting her an office with a glass door. It was crystal clear, so anything that happened on one side of the door could be seen from the other.The transparency restricted Heather’s actions and
Standing before love Business first
In the meantime, Heather noticed her phone ringing a few times but decided to ignore Matthias’ calls and hang them up. Nonetheless, her phone continued to ring again and again, no matter how many times she declined them. Eventually, Heather became annoyed and directly turned off her phone after her refusal to answer the call failed to make Matthias give up.On the other hand, the man lay down his phone in disappointment, surprised that Heather would rather turn off her phone than answer his call. It seems that I really did piss her off pretty badly yesterday. Great! Even Heather won’t talk to me now. At the thought of that, he somehow felt overwhelmed by loneliness.Meanwhile, Heather was bothered by mixed feelings inside her, deeming Matthias capricious and fathomless. Deep down, she reckoned Matthias still stubbornly insisted that it was all her fault for ruining his chance of living a happy life with Myra. Despite her guilt toward him about the things that had happened in the past,
Standing before love No need to do this
Considering her irrational state, Heather was prompted by her instincts to leave the place before the situation turned ugly. Nevertheless, she somehow couldn’t bring herself to simply just walk away because she didn’t know how she could face Matthias again if she opened the door and left like that. At the same time, she was mad and disgusted with herself for taking him into consideration at such a time.“Get out!” Matthias bellowed at Heather, clinging onto the last bit of his rationality.Heather calmly exchanged gazes with Matthias; she looked the man in the eye without even blinking as she refused to leave due to his impertinent attitude. I’m not just some woman whom you could just summon and shoo away as you wish! After all, the man’s mean response somehow hurt her pride.“You told me to follow you, and now you’re asking me to go?” Heather glared at Matthias, as if a fight could break out between them at any minute.Although Matthias was succumbing to his agitated emotions, Heathe
Standing before love Let matthia accept
Right now, Matthias had completely lost his composure and confidence. He was no longer his usual self, and his cowardly character was now totally out in the open. At this moment, Heather could not get away, but she could not ignore him either, so the two embraced each other in a bizarre manner.“Am I a failure?” Like a child, Matthias was curled up in Heather’s arms. He was a tall and burly man, yet he looked especially fragile at this moment.“No. There is no winning or losing when it comes to matters of the heart,” Heather replied gently. Recalling her previous relationship, she also thought at that time that she was a failure.Hearing that, Matthias held back his tears. Men should not shed tears, so he just stared at Heather. With mixed feelings, Heather felt uncomfortable under his stare, and she thought that she saw the old her in his eyes.“You’re not manly at all when you look like this.” Heather slightly raised her eyebrows, trying to ease the tension.At this time, no matter
Standing before love I’m in a hurry to go home
Heather was puzzled after being questioned by Matthias like that. It sounded like there were terrorists who wanted to attack Myra and Tony’s wedding. She was not someone who was willing to be led on like that, so she narrowed her eyes and looked at Matthias indifferently, as if she was watching a show.“Excuse me, but I’m in a hurry to get home.” She completely did not take his words to heart.With Tony’s skills, he was still able to protect Myra, so Heather wasn’t worried at all about what Matthias said.“Heather, please believe me.” Matthias’ eyes widened, making him look a little scary.“You’ve been making a scene all day. What more do you want?” Heather said helplessly. Actually, she felt disappointed in him and wanted to get rid of this annoying man as soon as possible.“Give me half an hour. I really have something very important to say to you.” Matthias was already trying to be very patient, but Heather’s words and actions made him feel really saddened.With a cold huff, Heathe
Standing before love Finding someone
The day of the wedding was approaching, and every day, Myra woke up in a different mood as she felt the subtle changes within her. Every day was a new day; sometimes, it felt like time passed too quickly, and sometimes, it was the complete opposite.Myra instructed Tony to keep a low profile; hence, during these days, Bradfort City was quiet. In fact, Tony had sent out invitations much earlier, so the entire business world knew that he was marrying Myra. Although several media companies got wind of the news, Tony didn’t allow them to report it indiscriminately, so the wedding was a very low-key one.Matthias received the invitation from Tony as well, and when he looked at the invitation in his hand, he felt that it was surreal. Gripping the invitation in his hand until it crumpled, he had no idea how to describe what he felt.Perhaps it was the joy that such an occasion brought with it that cast a peaceful vibe over the entire Bradfort City. Matthias looked at the computer in front of
Standing before love The lover who can do anything
When talking about things like bags, women simply could go on and on. Once again, Heather avoided the part that she didn’t want to talk about, and Myra also had no way to continue to ask her. However, she at least finally understood Heather’s relationship issues.Afterward, when she thought of the fact that Heather had kept such an important thing a secret, Myra felt a thorn in her heart. Nevertheless, she was also hiding something from Heather at the time.Even best friends had secrets that could not be said, so she felt better after comforting herself that way. Now that Heather had revealed this matter, Myra intended to go back to think of a countermeasure because she could not let Heather continue so.While chatting, time passed unknowingly, but the two still had a lot to say. However, Tony then arrived after getting off work, waiting to take Myra home.Glancing at Myra with envy, Heather felt relieved when she knew that Tony truly loved Myra. Just now, Myra had told her about the
Standing before love The one who convinces
She’s hesitating again. Guess I have to ramp up the intensity. It wasn’t every day Heather would talk about her relationship problems, so Myra wanted to teach her everything at once. “You’re still hiding something from me?” Myra asked sternly. She had to do that, or Heather wouldn’t cave in.“It happened back in school.” Heather struggled for a moment before finally deciding to come clean. It had been her little secret for too long, and she never told anyone about it. Now that she looked back on it, Heather thought it was a sweet memory, even though the relationship didn’t end well. It did bud, though.She and that young man were two proud individuals. It was the first time Heather came across someone who was so similar that she felt like he was her other half. It was then she started falling for him.Back then, she had just begun studying abroad in Italy, so everything was new and unfamiliar to her. The good thing was that she finally broke free of her family, and back then, she stil
Standing before love A difficult problem
It’s hard to talk about? Myra’s heart sank, because Heather never described anything that way. She shot Heather a look, telling her to keep talking.“How does it feel to love someone?” Heather asked after much hesitation. She didn’t know how it felt to love someone, nor did she know how to fall for someone.Myra shot her a look of surprise. “You have a crush?” That was the only reason for that question; at least, that was the only one she could think of.Heather shook her head. “No. But I don’t dislike him either. It’s a weird feeling.” Heather looked confused, because even she couldn’t understand the relationship between her and Matthias.Myra stared at her in disbelief. At that moment, she needed Heather to be completely honest with her, or she wouldn’t be able to give her any good advice. “Why’d you ask that question then?” Myra wasn’t about to be fooled. Obviously, she could see that Heather was going through something special in her life, and she could think of nothing else but r
