Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 416

Matthias’s frantic and fearful laughter echoed around the whole room. Heather never truly knew Matthias because ordinary provocation methods were ineffective on him.

“It’s been many years, but you haven’t made any progress at all.” Matthias looked at Heather contemptuously. Over the years, Matthias had improved significantly. Compared to him, Heather seemed to have not changed much.

It was the first time she was looked down at by someone. Back when Heather met Matthias at his speech, she had a premonition that she would meet him again. Back then, she already noticed Matthias’s change, but at that instant, she felt his threatening aura even more deeply.

“You thought that I would care about what you think, and you’ve despised me ever since you were young.” As Matthias spoke, he poked Heather’s chest, where her heart was. I really want to open up Heather’s heart and see what’s inside.

Heather directly slapped Matthias’s hand away and glared at him angrily. His actions had provoked her.

“You should learn to be respectful.” Even though Heather didn’t have much strength, she wouldn’t allow Matthias to continue to humiliate her.

“Since when have you respected me?” Matthias pressed his body against Heather’s to stop her from moving. Their two bodies stuck close to each other.

Heather raised her arm to slap Matthias on the face, but Matthias quickly grabbed her arm and stopped her. “You should’ve thought about the difference in our strengths before you decided to attack.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed Heather’s other hand to stop her from having any chance to attack him again.

“Let go of me,” Heather hissed coldly. This is insulting. She glared at him furiously, and her eyes were filled with hatred.

“That’s the gaze that I remember. For some reason, you have had a strong hatred toward me since the first time we met,” Matthias said upsettingly. When Myra was young, she was Heather’s most loyal follower. Heather interfered with Myra’s relationship with Matthias and caused Matthias to have many regrets.

“Of course I hate you.” Heather glared at him and said, “Myra is my only friend and the only light in my life. Back then, I didn’t want anyone to take her away from me, but ever since you appeared, all Myra talked about was you.” Back then, Matthias wasn’t the only one who was hurt. When Heather was young, she desired to have love and friendship all to herself, and she was not willing to share them with others.

“Myra was very excited to introduce you to me, but I hated you. I hated your face that looked more feminine than a woman and your cowardly character. I still can’t figure out why Myra liked someone like you,” Heather said in disdain. She had a deep hatred toward Matthias since the moment she saw him; he had an aura that disgusted her.

Some people were destined to hate each other. No matter the young innocent-looking version of Matthias, or the grown-up vicious version of Matthias, Heather hated him to the core.

“Good. I have the same feelings toward you. I have hated you ever since I first saw you, and the kind of hatred I have toward you comes from the bottom of my heart,” Matthias replied seriously. Back when he was young, he wanted to please Myra, so he deliberately took the initiative to be friends with Heather. However, he was unexpectedly humiliated by her. From then on, he had an indelible hatred for Heather.

“I will remember the humiliation I suffered today. If you are capable, you should kill me right now. Otherwise, I promise that I will take revenge.” Heather glared at Matthias angrily. I will make sure he pays for what he has done to me.

“We live in a society ruled by law and killing is against the law. As a good citizen, I will never do anything illegal.” Matthias continued to provoke Heather. Although he hated her, he didn’t want to end her life. All he wanted was to humiliate her the same way she humiliated him in the past.

“You still have feelings for Myra and that is your weakness. Matthias, it’s best that you don’t provoke me. Otherwise, the two of us will get hurt.” The corners of Heather’s lips curled into a smug grin. She had used the same method in the past to defeat Matthias.

“I’m no longer the same person I once was, so your little tricks are completely useless,” Matthias replied disapprovingly. I was defeated by Heather back then because I wasn’t strong enough, but now that I have gotten stronger, I will no longer give in to this woman.

“Just wait and see. You will never win Myra’s heart because the man she loves is Tony, and her best friend is me. Meanwhile, you are just someone who only appeared shortly in her life. She doesn’t even remember you. You’ve lost the battle before it even started.” As Heather thought about Matthias’ threat, she decided to mention Myra. Does he really think that I’m a powerless woman who can’t fight back?

Hearing that, Matthias pulled away from Heather, let go of his grip on her arms, strode toward the window, and looked out of the window. Good. Everything is going according to plan.

Matthias closed the curtains and the room instantly went dark. Heather was softly massaging her wrists that had turned red from Matthias’ strong grip. It hurts. How much does he hate me? He doesn’t show any pity toward me at all.

“If you like someone, you will wish that person happiness. You thought that I would steal Myra away from Tony,” Matthias said dismissively. That’s the difference between you and me. In Heather’s eyes, if you like someone, you should fight for him and steal him away. However, all I want is to protect the ones I love. Heather still doesn’t understand the true meaning of love.

“Sooner or later, you will hurt Myra. What you are doing now will also hurt her feelings.” Heather glared at Matthias coldly. I will not be easily moved by his statements no matter how noble they sound because his actions tell me otherwise.

Matthias grabbed his clothes from the side of the bed and put them on one by one.
