Pierce pursed his lips and continued, "The wedding dress is for Sammy."

Millie was taken aback and felt a little embarrassed. It turned out she was overthinking it. "Are you looking for anything in particular?"

"Go with what you think looks good. I want it ready for her to wear when she gets married. She's around your height and build, so just use yourself as a reference."

"Sure, I'll take care of it. Just a heads-up. Making a wedding dress is a lot of work and can take some time."

"Take your time."

They went back together after dinner.

The next day, Millie found out at her studio that Celia had closed a deal. However, the client had requested to meet with the designer. They preferred to see a portfolio to clearly understand her work.

"Alright, let's have Julian handle it."

"But the client requested the clothes for his wife, so it's probably better if you go instead, boss."

Mille nodded in agreement. She was indeed the better candidate for the task.

The appointment was sched

    Alex asked, "Did you bring your measuring tools? How about you take my measurements and make a custom set for me?""We have a male designer in our studio. I can introduce you to him and get you a discount," Millie responded."I don't want anyone else. I want you to do the design. Hurry up and take my measurements. Make sure you do it right.""Let's leave it for next time, Mr. Thorne. We can go over it when Cindy is here. I've got other appointments, so I'll head out now."Alex's lecherous demeanor was gross, and he kept crossing the line with Millie.Fuming, Millie grabbed her things and tried to leave. But as soon as she stood up, she felt light-headed, and her vision went dark.What went wrong? She didn't touch the drink Alex ordered at all.Puzzled, Millie looked at the glass before her, having not taken a sip."There's nothing with the alcohol; it's the lemonade. Didn't you notice it yet?"Alex chuckled.Millie's heart raced. A waiter brought over the lemonade, so she tho

    Millie struggled to open her eyes, trying to make out who it was. But with the light streaming in behind them, all she could make out was a tall silhouette and nothing else."Who are you? How dare you mess with me? Do you know I'm—"Before Alex could finish, the newcomer sent him flying with a heavy kick. The next moment, Millie found herself in a warm embrace.Millie couldn't open her eyes because her eyelids felt too heavy. Despite that, she could vividly sense his presence. The newcomer had to be Pierce. After all, she felt a cold and aloof air, as if he stood apart from everything.The worry that had been weighing over her chest melted away. Having him nearby always brought her comfort.Pierce gently brushed Millie's cheeks with his hand. Even in her unconscious state, she winced in pain.Feeling a pang in his heart, Pierce withdrew his hand because he was scared of hurting Millie further. He gently set her down on the couch and draped his coat on her to keep her covered. T

    Pierce could feel Millie's warm tears seeping through his shirt.After some time, Millie finally returned to her senses. She looked up, teary-eyed."What are you doing here?""I heard you calling for help."They were destined to meet. Whenever she was in danger, he always managed to show up in the nick of time. He was like her lucky star."Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"Mille shook her head."Are you tired? You should take a nap.""Stay with me," Millie asked softly. She knew she was being unreasonable, but she was still shaken from the ordeal. Alex's touch made her feel like she had fallen into an abyss. That was her greatest fear.Pierce pursed his lips as he made up his mind. "Alright. I'll stay with you.""Not on the couch. Stay with me by the bed. Is that okay?" Millie pleaded. Having him closer would make her feel safer."Alright. Whatever you say."Pierce was incredibly gentle and patient that night. He complied with all her requests.Millie leaned

    Millie's hand froze in place, awkwardly lingering where it had landed. At that moment, she wished she could just disappear."I was just checking out your chest muscles. You work out a lot, so I wanted to see how they were."She tried to sound calm as she slowly withdrew her hand, patting his chest. "It's not bad. It feels quite firm. Impressive."Pierce raised an eyebrow and watched as she babbled on with a straight face."I'm going to freshen up." Millie turned and quickly left without looking back, feeling the weight of his intense gaze on her the whole way.Once inside the bathroom, she locked the door and leaned against the wall. Of all the times for him to wake up, why did it have to be right then?After washing up, she came out and saw Pierce changing clothes. His back was facing her, and his pants were already on, revealing his strong and muscular back.His body was covered in scars, some from bullets, others from sharp weapons. He wore each one like a badge of honor.A

    Since Pierce had made his decision, Millie decided she wouldn't be concerned with it anymore.While she was resting at home, Samantha completely ignored her. Her attitude was arrogant and dismissive. Millie didn't bother with her either. Samantha had returned to Atkinson Group to work as Pierce's secretary. Everyone knew her status. Even Tobias had to show her some respect.Two days later, the mark on Millie's cheek had faded, but there were a few bruises on her body that would take longer to heal. Celia immediately burst into tears when she saw Millie return to the studio."Why are you crying? I'm fine, aren't I?""It's all my fault. If only I hadn't messed up. If only my stomach didn't hurt that day, I could've gone with you. Then, that Thorne guy wouldn't have dared to do anything to you!" Celia cried."How could anyone have known what would happen? It's not your fault. I don't blame yourself, and I haven't given it a second thought." Millie tried to make Celia feel better.

    Millie froze when she heard those words.Samantha wasn't biologically related to the Atkinson family. She was adopted. No one outside the family knew about it. This meant it had been kept a tight secret.Samantha stared at the frame, caught in a daze. It was obvious she was deeply in love with Pierce.No wonder Millie always felt uncomfortable about the sibling's close relationship.Millie froze, feeling like she had stumbled upon a huge secret. She didn't know if she should be there. She staggered away and hurried back to her studio, locking herself inside her office.That would explain why Samantha didn't like her. She was her love rival.Millie wondered if Pierce felt the same way about Samantha. Perhaps he refused to accept his feelings for her because of societal boundaries, or maybe something else was stopping him.Millie recalled his gentle tone toward Samantha on the phone. He had never spoken to her that way nor to anyone else. He adored Samantha, and he was aware the

    Millie said, "They're quite close, huh?""Is Sammy making things difficult for you because she found out about your relationship with Pierce? Millie, you should break it off. Pierce is more dangerous than you realize," Stefan asked."Thanks for your concern. I'll handle it myself," Millie replied.Millie felt light-headed as she left Leach Manor. She couldn't understand why her chest felt so heavy, so she breathed deeply, forcing herself to calm down.Pierce had saved her multiple times. He was like a savior to her, and she held him in the highest regard. Her respect and admiration for him grew as she began to understand the hardships faced by police officers and soldiers.Thus, despite knowing that men are unreliable, she developed feelings for Pierce. She was upset to learn that Pierce had forbidden feelings for Samantha. However, she quickly regained her composure.Fortunately, she found out about this early. Otherwise, she would be forced to relive her past if she got too inv

    Julian felt embarrassed, thinking that Pierce had crossed a line."Pierce, how could you say that to a girl?" he said in a low voice."Did I say something wrong?" Pierce replied casually, raising an eyebrow at Millie.Millie felt a surge of anger. She would gladly comply if he wanted to act like they were strangers. "Right. I'm a stranger. You guys can chat. This is my office, so, please get out."Pierce said nothing more and turned to head to Julian's office."I know you're usually cold to women, but you should be more considerate. What did Millie do to deserve that?"Pierce pursed his lips, clenching his fists tightly. He heard her say they would break up sooner or later. Did she merely see him as a tool for revenge or something to kill her loneliness?"Let's stick to business. I don't want to talk about anything else."Julian couldn't say much.After they finished discussing the order, Pierce was about to leave when Julian stopped him."Can you give me some advice? I rea

    "Are you okay?"Millie anxiously asked."I'm fine," Pierce replied. He held onto Millie with one arm for support and stood up, his other arm limp and dangling by the side of his body, obviously dislocated.Thomas quickly came to check on him and said, "Follow me to the office. I'll reattach it for you. "Millie, you should also go to the clinic and do a checkup to see if you have any other issues."Pierce's arm was dislocated, and that was something the clinic couldn't fix. However, since Thomas was an expert at this, he took Pierce away. When Pierce took off his shirt, there was a huge bruise on his back."Just bear with it for a moment. You'll be fine in no time." Thomas held Pierce's arm, gently rotating it before suddenly using force on it.Pierce's face turned deathly pale, with tiny droplets of sweat forming on his forehead.Before his arm was reattached, any small movements would cause immense pain. After the reattachment though, his entire arm went numb.Pierce exhaled

    Thomas had mentioned the horse track before and had encouraged Millie to try it out, but she hadn't taken it seriously. But upon seeing the majestic horses now, she found herself intrigued."Can I ride this one?" she asked, pointing at a tall, spirited horse."Not this one. It's too wild and still being trained. If you want to ride, I'll find you a gentler one," Thomas replied."Okay!" Millie's eyes sparkled with excitement.Thomas then led her to the stables and carefully selected a calm and obedient horse. He started by teaching Millie how to mount the horse, then walked alongside her, holding the reins to help her get familiar with riding."Talk to it, pat it gently, and build some trust," he instructed."Got it," Millie said, stroking the horse's mane and softly speaking to it.After a few laps around the paddock, Millie gained enough confidence to ride on her own. She kept the pace slow and leisurely circled the track. There were other riders in the large paddock as wel

    Stefan's expression faltered and darkened. For once, he couldn't come up with anything to refute Pierce.It was true that Millie had never come to Leach Manor willingly—it was always forced. So, he didn't exactly have any grounds to argue back.In the end, Pierce grabbed Millie's hand and led her away. After they got inside the car, the atmosphere was so tense that it was almost suffocating. Millie could barely breathe under the pressure.Was Pierce angry? But what did he have to be angry about? She had won the fight, and if it weren't for the potential fallout affecting the Atkinson family, she wouldn't have bowed her head and apologized in the first place.She should be the one to feel wronged. So, why was he the one sulking?Millie cleared her throat, breaking the silence and finding her voice. "Well… you saw it yourself. I'm nothing but trouble. You should divorce me as soon as possible and stay as far away from me as you can. I don't follow the rules, I'm fiery, and I don

    Pierce did not have a speck of dust on him. It was an easy fight.Stefan looked mortified."Get a better fighter here!" Stefan demanded. "Mr. Atkinson, it's great that you're here. Your wife was misbehaving, so I just taught her a lesson out of kindness."Upon hearing this, Pierce pulled Millie behind him and stared at Felicity. She did not dare to meet his gaze as it was too intimidating."She's my wife. Who do you think you are to touch her?""She hit me just now!" Felicity yelled."Millie, is that true?" Pierce asked."She started it. Of course, I didn't just stand there and take it. She made things difficult for me, and they even ganged up on me. I was simply returning the favor," Millie replied. Millie didn't know why, but she felt assured in Pierce's presence, and her suppressed emotions began to surface.At that moment, she forgot that they were on bad terms and that she hadn't forgiven him."In that case, my wife was simply defending herself," Pierce said."Defend

    Stefan watched Millie's retreating figure with an ambivalent expression. He pondered on how she was willing to lower her pride for Pierce's sake. His hands silently clenched into fists as anger smoldered in his chest.Meanwhile, Millie had returned to the room where the women were. Though they had tidied themselves up, the scene was still chaotic. Felicity had a visible handprint on her face, and Wanda was pitifully clutching her stomach."What now? Are you here to beat us up again?" one of the women whimpered. They all trembled as they huddled together."No… I'm sorry for being impulsive earlier. I shouldn't have acted so recklessly. Felicity, I hope you can overlook my behavior and forgive me," Millie calmly spoke up.The room fell silent. None of them had expected Millie to back down so quickly."A-Are you being serious?" Felicity stammered, her voice shaking."Yes. I was wrong to lash out at you. I didn't consider the consequences. So, I'm sorry," Millie sincerely said w

    Millie delivered a swift kick to Felicity's chest and slapped Wanda hard across the face. Then, she pretended to repeatedly hit Wanda by accident. The more Wanda tried to mediate, the more blows she received. On the other hand, Felicity suffered no major injuries despite looking disheveled."What's going on here? What do you take my house for?" The door suddenly burst open. Stefan was standing in the doorway with a thunderous expression.The moment Wanda saw him, she ran toward him like a damsel in distress with tears pitifully streaming down her face."Stefan, she hit me!" she wailed, clinging onto him."Why is it you again, Millie?" Stefan frowned as he stared at her with a complicated gaze.He remembered Millie as a gentle, soft-spoken woman—a timid little lamb who needed his love and protection. But now, she was like a fierce tigress with claws bared.He knew what type of woman he preferred, yet seeing this side of Millie stirred something within him. It irked him that he

    Millie shook off Felicity's hand and walked away without looking back. Felicity was unwilling to let it go, so she went after Millie. "Wanda has been too soft on you. That's why you dare to be so audacious and trample all over her! If it were me, I'd skin you alive for your behavior—"As Felicity continued to rant, she reached out to grab Millie's shoulder. To her surprise, Millie grasped her hand and threw her to the floor with a clean over-the-shoulder toss with ease.Felicity cried out in pain, shocking the other three women. None of them could believe that Millie, who looked so slender and delicate, had just tossed the burly Felicity over her shoulder like it was nothing.Millie snapped, "Are you done? You've wasted my entire morning, and I haven't even demanded an apology from you. "Alright, then. Apologize now! You called me here when you had something going on and didn't have time for me. You'd been toying with me! Hurry up and apologize!""I-Is this how your studio tr

    Millie refused to believe that a person could change so drastically without reason."Do you know the details of the birthday party kidnapping?" Millie asked."Unfortunately, I don't know anything about that," Julian replied.Millie suppressed her curiosity and picked up her phone. She thought of calling Pierce, but would he even tell her the truth?She rubbed her temples, debating that thought for a moment. In the end, she decided against it.After that, Millie pushed aside all distracting thoughts and focused on her work. She had several custom orders to complete, including one for Felicity Harmon, the daughter-in-law of a real estate tycoon. She had just finished drafting the design sketches and needed to discuss them with Felicity.So, Millie called her to arrange a meeting."I happen to be free today. I'm at Leach Manor. You can come over," Felicity said over the phone."Leach Manor?" Millie repeated."Yes, I'm having coffee with Mrs. Leach. Is there a problem?" Felicity

    At the moment when Millie craved for vengeance against Stefan, Pierce had agreed to marry her. When she put herself in danger to lure William into taking action, he had promised to protect her. When Sharon was in peril, she had charged in alone—absolutely unafraid—because she knew Pierce would come for her.He taught her, step by step, how to shoot a gun. He gave her the confidence to stand up to Wanda.At that grand wedding, while everyone's eyes were on the couple kissing on stage, Pierce had secretly kissed her.How could she have been so foolish to miss all the signs? Everything he did had been so obvious, yet Millie had always believed it was purely out of his sense of responsibility. She had chalked it all up to the fact that she was his wife, and nothing more.She had suspected that he loved Samantha and every other person, but never herself.Before she learned the truth, Pierce had been nearly perfect in her eyes—he was flawless.He was a hero to so many.
