Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 633

Her smile became increasingly seductive. The coldness in her eyes was like an infinite abyss that sent chills down one’s spine. Tony tried to recall in his mind, but he did not think of any grudges with anyone.

“Director Hart, you are so suspicious.” The woman flashed a wide smile at him, but her face made him feel intense hatred.

“Don’t touch me,” he spoke harshly. He could not wait to tear the woman into halves. If he did not have any hesitations about the situation, he would not let her off the hook easily.

She continued to smile and showed no fear for him at all. Obviously, she called the shots here, but he was being restricted by many concerns. On top of that, he could not contact the outside world here.

“Director Hart, calm down.” Her voice became gentler, but upon hearing that, Tony merely felt disgust.

Both of them stubbornly faced each other and none of them were willing to compromise. Tony could not calm down at all as his head was heavy and he had lost track of time. To him, one day felt as long as a year.

“What the hell do you want? Give Myra back to me!” he yelled. He did not wish for any other thing at this moment, as long as Myra could safely return to him.

“Director Hart, only a day has passed, yet you already can’t hold yourself back. I’m afraid you will break down in the coming days,” the woman reminded him kindly.

Tony angrily looked at her. Up until now, he had no idea what her name was. He merely felt that his vision became more blurry and he was beginning to see doubles of everything.

The woman walked to him and took his wine glass away as she spoke, “Too much alcohol is not good for you.” She played around with the glass with a lustful expression in her eyes.

“Give Myra back to me.” With that, he wanted to take the wine glass from her hands, but his consciousness started to fade away as he became more unresponsive.

The woman’s smile became even savage. This was exactly the result she wanted—for Tony to lose his will to live. He had probably not expected that he would become like this one day. After all, Myra was his soft spot.

When he sank into the chair after being drunk, the woman placed a blanket on him with both love and hatred in her eyes.

“Tony, you shouldn’t have fallen in love,” she spoke in a wistful tone. “Once you fall in love with someone, she will be your weakness. I thought that I won’t be able to take revenge in this lifetime, but you gave me the opportunity to do so.”

She was mumbling and didn’t notice that Tony was just pretending to be drunk.

He had no idea how to make her tell him the truth, so he played a trick by pretending to be drunk. Fortunately, it worked. Now, he was sure that this woman had grudges with him, but he could not think what the actual trigger was at that moment. Apart from that, he also had no clue of her true identity.

Even though he was more or less under house arrest at this moment, he could still contact the outside world. Unfortunately, he could not keep in touch with Heather.

Tony’s instincts told him that she would be the key to turning the entire situation around. Hence, he had been thinking about contacting her since the call last night.

He wanted to hear more from the woman, but she did not say anything else. In that instant, the room was completely silent and empty. He could only hear his own heartbeat while she looked at him with immense gentleness in her eyes. Perhaps we have some connections in the past that are out of the ordinary.

Slowly, he also fell asleep. The next morning, he was surprised to find that he was able to sleep without Myra beside him.

The bright sunlight hurt Tony’s eyes. He tried to remember his dream from the previous night where he seemed to have dreamed of a woman with whom he had some entanglements in the past.

That dream felt like it had happened in real life. He felt slightly dazed, but he could not recall what exactly the dream was.

He could only remember the woman in his dreams wore white clothes and she stood under a cherry tree like an angel. When he tried to remember more about the dream, he felt as though his mind was breaking apart.

The woman’s voice rang from behind him. “You’re finally awake, Director Hart.”

Tony looked at her woozily, but he quickly returned to his senses as his eyes became fierce with animosity.

She served him breakfast with half a smirk on her face. In a gentle tone, she said, “Since you are awake, let’s eat something.” Her nonchalance made his hatred for her grow deeper.

“Who the hell are you?” he asked through gritted teeth. The mysterious woman left him feeling quite troubled.

“Director Hart, why do you insist on knowing who I am?” Not only did she not reply to him, she asked him another question.

“Do you have a grudge against me?” he asked definitively, as if he was sure that was the case.

She laughed out loud with sarcasm in her eyes. “Director Hart, is this even important?”

“If you want to attack me, just target me. Why did you have to kidnap Myra?” he asked furiously. At that moment, he hated the fact that he could not do anything. He hated his current helplessness.

The woman merely curved her lips, as though she had heard a joke. “Director Hart, since when have you become so childish? Did your intellect and emotional quotient decrease after we caught your beloved woman?” she asked in a jealous tone.
