Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 415

It was the next day. Chimes of the windbell hanging from the ceiling could be heard as rays of sunlight shone into the room. As the wind gently blew, strands of Heather’s hair danced in the wind. She even looked gorgeous when she was asleep. Lowering his head to take a look at his watch, Matthias began to contemplate whether he had overdosed her with drugs seeing that she hadn’t woken up yet.

He donned a neat suit that didn’t have a trace of wrinkle on it. He was gazing deeply at the woman who was still unconscious. Heather never thought that he would drug her yesterday, and Matthias only won because he had the element of surprise.

As if on cue, she started to move. It was evident that she was suffering from a bad migraine as she woke up. Obviously, the drug had a strong effect. Rubbing her temples, she felt like her body had been hit by a truck.

Waking up feeling extremely groggy, the first thing she saw was Matthias’ unwavering gaze at herself. Out of instinct, she calmly took a look at her clothes. Watching her action, he couldn’t help but put on a coy smile.

“Don’t worry, I’m not sexually attracted to you,” he casually commented. As a girl, it was normal for her to be more alert about being sexually assaulted anyway.

Trying hard to suppress the anger within, she glared at him with all the energy she could muster. There was definitely hatred in her eyes.

“Why did you drug me?” she asked it loud and clear. As someone who had never fallen into such a trip prior this, Matthias had taught her a lesson this time.

Disregarding her question, he simply walked over to the window and pulled the blinds open before turning back to face her. The look on his face seemed like he was waiting for drama to ensue.

The sudden exposure to sunlight was almost blinding. Covering her eyes, she felt even worse with the sudden brightness on top of her bad headache.

Meanwhile, he started to unbutton his suit while walking toward her. “Since the weather’s so good, we should do something good for our health.”

At once, she got off the bed and stood in a defensive stance. However, that only lasted for a second because the next thing she registered was that her body was too weak. It seemed that the drug’s effects hadn’t completely worn off.

“It wasn’t easy to make you stay overnight at my place.” At that moment, he was only left with his shirt on. Shooting her a smirk, he successfully made her feel alarmed.

“What are you trying to do?” she asked, thinking that it was a futile effort to guess his motive.

“The entertainment news today is pretty interesting,” he said as he began to unbutton his shirt from the uppermost button. When she heard that, her eyelid twitched on its own accord.

Looking at him with extreme alertness, she tried to look for her cell phone as she had a bad feeling.

“Sorry, your phone was too noisy earlier so I turned it off.” Having said that, he fished out her phone from his pocket, irking Heather to no end.

She then walked right up to him, attempting to snatch back her phone from his hands. Seeing her in such a weak state, he could not help but smirk. After all, it was his first time witnessing her weak moment.

“You want your phone? Here.” He simply offered her the phone.

Just as Heather was about to move further away from him after retrieving her phone, she was pulled into his embrace before she could go. Due to the weakness she was experiencing, she had no strength to fight him. What did he drug me with?! How can it be so strong?

Hence, she was now a limp person who couldn’t fight back for her own life. Just the thought of it angered her a lot as she could only take what he was about to do to her. How did she end up here?

When she attended the meeting yesterday, she had already sensed that something about him felt odd. However, she did not think that he would stoop so low as she only assumed that they would at least have a civilized talk before fighting each other. It was totally unexpected that he would trick her this way.

Just then, Heather tossed her phone away in annoyance as she failed to turn it on after trying multiple times. Looking at how enraged she was getting, Matthias leaned close to her ear and said in a hushed voice, “It looks like your phone’s battery is flat.”

That served as a reminder that she was still stuck in his arms, and she was about to blow a fuse because of that. At this moment, she was only left with one way to escape the restraint: play it smart.

“Matthias, let go of me.” She was trying her best to stay calm despite feeling all the rage within her.

“You must hate me a lot right now.” He guffawed as he let his hands roam all over her body.

“Are you taking revenge on me?” she asked coldly. It seemed that he still hadn’t gotten over what happened in the past, so he was using such a despicable way to take revenge on her.

Loosening his grip on Heather, his cold voice could be heard coming from above her. “Do you know that Myra doesn’t remember me at all?” The chagrin in his tone was hard to miss. Whenever he recalled that not only did Myra forgot their promise, but him altogether, he was bitter.
