Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 207

By the time she woke up, Tony had already arrived outside her apartment.

The moment she opened her eyes, which were still bleary with sleep, she was immediately cradled in his firm embrace once more as he carried her into the building.

His arms were like a warm cage containing her scent. She was fully awake now and she clung onto the front of his shirt as she quietly buried her face into his chest, breathing in and growing attached to his familiar scent.

Tony tightened his grip on her as they made their way through the green boulevard and toward the apartment lobby. They then ran into an anxious Estelle, who had been waiting outside the building.

Estelle had been feeling uneasy ever since she saw Kris earlier that afternoon. After she found out that Myra was going to meet up with Thomas for dinner at Zion Club, she had cajoled Shawn into going as well.

When Shawn called Estelle earlier to inform her of what had happened, she had wanted to go up to Kris and give her a good beating.

It did not take a sleuth to figure out that Kris had something to do with all of this.

Estelle was enraged, but she was more concerned about Myra. She dared not think that something terrible could have happened to Myra.

Upon seeing Tony making his way over with Myra in his arms, Estelle half-jogged up to him and asked frantically, “How is she? Is she okay? Was she hurt?”

Tony’s face was grim. Myra, on the other hand, looked up from his arms when she heard Estelle’s voice. She softened when she saw the panic in Estelle’s eyes and said softly, “I’m fine. Tony, Deputy Mayor Hart, and Elliot all arrived in time.”

It was obvious that Estelle had found out about tonight’s tumultuous events.

Meanwhile, she let out a sigh of relief at Myra’s words. Then, she registered Myra’s disheveled appearance—her hair was rumpled and her cheek swollen. She was sure that the girl had been assaulted by that sleaze from the Management Department.

At that thought, Estelle felt the fury rise within her. She rolled up her sleeves like she was about to hit something before she let out a string of abuse as she yelled, “That sleazy piece of trash! How dare he lay his dirty hands on you? If Shawn hadn’t held me back, I would have marched right into Zion Club and beat that creep into a pulp! And this applies to Kris, too! Don’t think I don’t know what that wretched b*tch is planning. She must have given that creep the idea that he could have his way with you! Myra—”

Tony glared at her darkly and she trailed off. She pursed her lips and let her words die on her tongue as she registered the icy look in his eyes.

After hearing the part where Estelle had mentioned Kris’ involvement in the whole thing, Myra tightened her grip on Tony’s shirt. The defeated look in her eyes was swiftly replaced by a grim one and she asked slowly, “Was Kris behind this?”

Estelle hesitated. She saw Tony’s brows drawing closer together, but she nodded anyway and told Myra about her encounter with Kris at the City Hall earlier that day.

Upon hearing Estelle’s explanation, Myra clenched her fist, bunching the front of Tony’s shirt in her grip. Her knuckles turned white as the anger and hatred rose within her.

She had thought that something was off about the entire thing. Cameron was far brainy to discuss anything about her with the likes of Thomas. After all, Tony had only just told Cameron about their relationship—Cameron would have to wait until the former had broken up with her before he could even try to set her up with Thomas. She knew Cameron well enough to understand that everything he did was calculated.

However, things were making sense now that Kris was added into the equation.
