Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 309

 
 

Her sudden question was not to demand his reason for doing those actions to her, nor was she judging the despicable means he had used.

 

Looking at the honesty in Myra’s eyes, the love in Tony’s eyes was almost overflowing. He caressed her head as he replied, “I have never thought of hurting you. Trust me.”

With a pause, there was a slight exasperation in his tone. “I can’t control the process, though. Myra, all you loved was Sean back then. I was so jealous that I was going insane and I just wanted to be with you as soon as possible.”

Myra was both stubborn and strong. Even though the truth was staring at her in the face, she stubbornly believed that Sean could understand her love toward him. However, Tony could not bear to allow her to continue waiting with such stubbornness.

She felt slightly embarrassed when he mentioned that all she loved was Sean. It was true that she had rejected all of Tony’s advances back then. At that moment, she was already thinking about leaving Sean, but she could not find any appropriate timing to do so. Now that she thought about it, Tony had been guiding her all the way until her outburst.

Feeling both annoyed and amused at the same time, Myra buried her head in his chest again after seeing the sincerity on his face. Then, her muffled voice rang. “Tony, I really hate it when people lay traps for me to walk into and use their carefully calculated tactics on me.”

Tony’s body stiffened. His arms that were wrapped around Myra slowly loosened, but she insisted on placing his arms back to her waist. In that instant, his voice turned huskier. “Myra, I—”

“Hush,” she interrupted as she merely took deep breaths of his scent.

 

“Don’t speak and listen to me.” She released his hands and wrapped her arms around his waist instead as she spoke in a low voice. “I have kind of guessed what has happened. The video that Gemma released was taken by Sasha from the hotel after you implicitly agreed to it, right? You must also be involved in the theft of confidential information regarding the Hilliville project. As for the pictures that were taken of us being intimate with each other, I bet you gave them to Lyla yourself.”

With that, Myra pinched his waist with a great force, but her own fingers had turned numb instead. Nevertheless, she insisted on pinching him until he grabbed her hand. Then, she continued to speak sullenly, “At that time, you were also the one who bought half of Hilliville, didn’t you? I bet you have some secret transaction with Lyla and you might have even done something private without her knowledge. You wanted Sean to choose between me and the Chase Group.”

Back then, Tony had already guessed that Sean would abandon her without a second thought to stabilize the Chase Group. Hence, Tony merely asked Captain Fowler to take care of Myra. However, something went wrong in the process and she was thrown behind bars instead. After a while, he managed to find out where she was and brought her to leave the place.

 

That day, Myra went to the Chase Residence to fulfill her promise to Eve. When Tony sent her there, he asked whether she would hate him. Myra was dumbfounded by his question at that time, but after experiencing everything after that, she finally understood why he had asked her that.

She took a deep breath while Tony continued to hug her tightly as he spoke in a low voice above her head, “If you are angry with me…”

His voice was low and slow with a tinge of worry in it. Myra had never heard him speaking to anyone in that tone. He had always been powerful and dominant with the natural vibe of a leader who could create thunderstorms in the business world anytime he wanted.

Thinking back of what Tony had done to her, she understood that there was no conspiracy theory involved.

 

Back then, she had nothing for him to be desperate about. After they became a couple, he would suppress his dominant temper because she was unhappy about it and he would always shower her with more love. No matter what had happened, he would always stand beside her.
