Pierce studied her with amusement. "Are you sure?""I-I'm sure…" She was tongue-tied.He closed in and placed a hand on the back of her head and another on her waist.Their bodies pressed against each other. She clearly sensed his muscular chest and the warmth that radiated from under his shirt.She held her breath. Her eyes wavered in shock."Looks like I failed to pleasure you because I am not good at kissing. I'll make it up to you." With that, he started kissing her.Her body stiffened, and her mind went blank. She should have shoved him away, but she could not move as though someone had cast a spell on her.Pierce's kissing skills improved like crazy. He no longer caused her pain like before, when he had kissed her aggressively.His damp and warm tongue traced her lips before slithering into her mouth. He even exchanged positions with her, so she could take a breather.It was a long, tender, and heart-fluttering kiss.After what seemed like an eternity, he pulled back

"God knows what's going on in that bastard's mind! Millie, don't waste your time grieving over him. He's not worth it!" Sharon fumed.Millie finally gave up on making sense of Stefan's decision because she could not wrap her head around it.She would be lying to claim that she wasn't heartbroken. After all, she truly loved Stefan.She could not believe that her three years with him were an illusion. She lived like a fool!She wasn't grieving over losing Stefan; she felt sorry that she wasted her true love on a jerk. Ultimately, she felt sorry for herself."Millie, where are you? I'll meet with you.""It's fine. I'm okay. I need… some alone time." Millie cut off Sharon and ended the video call abruptly.Staring at her face in the mirror, she took in her reddened eyes, but she refused to let her tears fall.Dotting away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Millie swallowed hard and put on a determined look. She did not regret offering up her body during the abduction in exc

Millie halted in her tracks. She could behave recklessly if she wanted, but she'd never risk the well-being of her family.How could Stefan threaten her with her family? Since when had he changed into such a vile man?"I can crush your family like they're bugs. All I want is for you to apologize to Wanda. Is that a difficult task?" "Is it that difficult for the two of you to apologize to me?" Millie retorted."Millie—" Stefan seethed in anger in the face of her stubbornness. She was gentle and compliant back when they dated. She always looked at him with light in her eyes, but now, she stared at him coldly as if he were a stranger.Millie was at the door. She could not believe that Stefan refused to let her go. He asked the security to stop her."Get her back here. I want her on her knees!""Stefan, I'm scared…" Wanda whined."Don't be. I'm here."Unable to fight against the security guards, Millie swiftly grabbed the fruit knife from the table. Seeing that, Stefan barked,

Before Millie could react, Pierce had already put down his cutlery and sent the photo to Bill.Soon, Bill responded with a voice message."Very well. It puts my mind at ease to see you two getting along. You need to take better care of Millie. She's too skinny. Make her put on some weight, or people will think you're letting your wife waste away."Millie understood that this was all just an act to reassure Bill. However, Pierce's sudden action could easily lead to misunderstandings."Eat up," Pierce said, resuming placing food on her plate but did not feed her again."Grandpa is right. You're too skinny. If word got out, people would laugh at me for failing to care for my wife. They might think that I'm depriving you of food.""That won't happen. Our marriage is a secret; no one knows I'm your wife," Millie replied without thinking.Pierce's hand paused slightly. Then, he stopped serving her, and the harmonious atmosphere abruptly became tense.Millie didn't know what she had s

"She has the same demeanor and mannerisms... It should be her.""What do you mean, 'should'?" Stefan roared, slamming the table.Jerry's legs finally gave way, and he collapsed to the floor."Maybe... maybe it wasn't her…" he mumbled incoherently.Wanda clutched her chest, looking devastated."Millie, you're implying I framed you. What would I gain from that? Have you seen my injuries? If Stefan had arrived a few minutes later, I might have bled to death."Also, Stefan has already decided to be with me. Why would I risk my life to frame you?""How would I know—"Millie started, but Stefan cut her off with a furious expression, "How much did you pay him to act out this charade with you?"Hearing this, Millie finally understood that no matter how solid her evidence was, Stefan wouldn't believe her. His bias toward Wanda was blatant and unwavering."Stefan, tell her to leave. I don't want to see her. I won't pursue this matter any further. The guilty will get their karma. Stefan

"Do you like it?" Pierce suddenly asked."Of course. Who wouldn't like something so brilliant and beautiful? It's a shame it's so fleeting and impossible to hold onto."Pierce pressed his lips together, choosing not to respond.Meanwhile, Millie had forgotten about her sadness after having so much fun.By the time they were heading back, it was already past midnight. Tired, Millie fell asleep in the car with her head resting on Pierce's shoulder.Pierce glanced at her briefly, then continued working on his documents.Soon, they arrived at the villa."We're here—""Quiet," Pierce ordered softly.Tobias immediately fell silent.Pierce then gently lifted Millie in his arms and carried her upstairs, laying her down on the bed."It's amazing how soundly you sleep," Pierce remarked as he tapped her forehead lightly. He watched her for a while before leaving the room.It was a beautiful night, the moon shining brightly, accompanied by a light breeze.Early the next morning, Milli

Wanda majored in finance at university, a field unrelated to fashion design. Now that she had set up a fashion design company upon her return, it was obvious that she intended to undermine Millie.Poaching her employees was just the beginning. Wanda would likely attempt to steal her clients and projects in the future."Did she not try to poach you too?""Of course she did! She offered me the position of design director, but I couldn't accept it. That would make me a traitor. I'm sticking with you!" Celia stated with a grin.Millie felt touched by her words. Celia had stayed by her side out of loyalty and gratitude after Millie had helped her out of a difficult situation once."Go ahead and hire two more people. It's time to get the studio fully operational again.""Will do!" Celia responded enthusiastically before heading out.Millie returned to her office and was ready to get to work when her phone rang again. It was another international number."Ms. Aurora, someone reached o

Millie stretched with a contented sigh.Just then, she received a call from Pierce."What's up?""Grandpa doesn't want to stay at the sanatorium anymore. He wants to head home. Come with me to pick him up.""I'll be right there."The two of them hurried to the sanatorium, where Bill had already packed his things.Whether it was due to his treatment or because Pierce had recently gotten married, Bill was in high spirits. He looked nothing like someone with a chronic illness.As soon as he saw Millie, Bill eagerly took her hand. "Millie, you've grown prettier! Wait, have you lost weight? Is Pierce not taking good care of you?"You rascal, what the hell have you been doing? She's getting skinnier!" Bill reprimanded Pierce as he hit him in the leg with his walking cane.Millie quickly intervened. "Grandpa, I've been on a diet recently. I thought I looked better with a few pounds off. Pierce keeps telling me to eat more. It's my own doing.""Really? It's not that he's neglecting

After that, Millie went upstairs to look for Pierce and told him the story of her firing Carlos and Yulia."Okay," Pierce nonchalantly said. He didn't even look up once, and his tone sounded very calm as well."I've been laying off employees without your consent. Don't you have anything to say about that?"Pierce laughed after hearing what Millie said. "You're my wife, so you also have a say in Atkinson Group. You're just exercising your authority, so why would I say anything about it? I know you're not a reckless person. If you fired them, you must have had your own reasonings." Pierce didn't even question why Millie had fired two employees or the reason behind their layoffs.What's done was already done. He couldn't care less about the two employees who got fired."Does this mean that I can do whatever I want as long as I'm here?" Millie asked."Of course! Whatever I own is also yours. I'll even let you sit on my lap if you want." Pierce sounded exactly like a king back in th

While some people chose to stay away from Yulia to avoid getting into trouble, there were still a few who sided with her. Then again, these people were just going to use her as a stepping stone to climb the corporate ladder with less effort."You're firing me? What did I even do wrong?" Yulia confronted the HR Department."The case that you messed up here has cost Atkinson Group millions of dollars. This big of a screw-up is enough to get you fired."Even if Yulia filed for labor arbitration, she would not receive any compensation. But of course, she couldn't be bothered by that small amount of money anyway. As long as she managed to keep her job in Atkinson Group, she would still be working under Pierce's leadership and was bound to see him again eventually. Unfortunately, she was about to leave the company for good. Now how was she supposed to see Pierce again?"I have to go find Mr. Reyes," she said.However, when she came to Carlos' office, he seemed to be in a gloomy

Millie had the distinct feeling that Yulia and her colleague were talking about her, but she had no proof. All she could see were their furtive glances.She became annoyed by their persistent glances and said, "If you two have something to say, why don't you say it out loud? Are you gossiping about me?""Of course not! I have no idea why you'd say that, Mrs. Atkinson," Yulia replied with a smile."You better not be lying."Yulia and her colleague left the elevator when they reached their floor, leaving Millie standing there with a frown.Millie just couldn't bring herself to like Yulia. It led to her pondering whether she should just fire Yulia. That way, she wouldn't have to see her every time she visited Atkinson Group.The strange thing was that Millie had never seen Yulia before when she was still working here. But now, she ran into Yulia almost every single time she came to Atkinson Group.In the end, Millie made up her mind to just fire Yulia.Instead of heading to the CE

When Yulia tried returning the cleaned clothes, she ran into Tobias downstairs. "Mr. Shaw," she greeted."Who are you?" Tobias didn't even remember Yulia."We met before at the CEO's office.""Oh, I remember you now. Is there something you need?" Tobias curiously looked at Yulia.Yulia showed him the bag in her hand. "Is Mrs. Atkinson coming in today? I accidentally stained her clothes last time, so she told me to have them dry cleaned. They're cleaned now, so I wanted to return them to her. "If she's not here, I can hand them over to Mr. Atkinson instead.""Give the clothes to me then. I'll handle it." Tobias extended his hand.However, Yulia shook her head. "These clothes are very expensive. It's better for me to return them in person. It's going to be troublesome in case something goes missing."Women's clothing tended to have accessories, and some were not cheap either.Tobias was not Millie, so naturally, he didn't know what the clothes originally looked like. If somet

Millie couldn't help but share with Pierce who she'd met earlier on."Who?" Pierce asked."Do you still remember the young lady who tried to hit on you while we were waiting in line to buy cake last time? She's currently working at Atkinson Group—as a permanent employee, no less! She's probably been working here for a while."Since interns had a three-month probation period, Yulia must have worked for the company for quite some time now if she was already a permanent employee. "Really?" Pierce didn't know this, but neither did he care about it. He simply continued, "By the way, I have something to tell you too. I met her not long ago—she was being forced to work at a nightclub. Apparently, her family was declared bankrupt, and loan sharks were looking for her to collect debt."When I saw her, I couldn't help but think of you. If I had not been sent on a mission and stayed at Arbelton back then, maybe you wouldn't have been forced to a dead end. And in turn, maybe you wouldn't hav

"Are you all done with your work? Why are you slacking off during working hours? "Yulia, your proposal is terrible. Fix it!" It was Isabella. She just could not stand the arrogant look on Yulia's face.Yulia pouted, but she didn't dare get on Isabella's nerves. After all, she was the top performer in the sales department.When she got the chance to see Pierce, she was definitely going to talk about how Isabella was bullying her.When Isabella walked away, someone immediately took the proposal from Yulia. "I've done something similar before. Let me do it. It won't take me too much effort anyway.""Thank you so much.""Yulia, I bought an extra cup of coffee. Here you go.""Thanks, Wady."So, Yulia sat leisurely at her workstation. The only eyesore was that paper bag. If only it was really Pierce who'd sent it.…Besides getting her clothes dirtied, Millie's body was also sticky, so she decided to take a shower.Once she was done, she got out of the shower wrapped in just a

Yulia had been waiting for Pierce to reach out to her first, but there was still not a single sign from him even after waiting for a few days.She had not expected Pierce to have so much patience. Was he playing hard to get?Every day, Yulia waited for Pierce in the lobby on the first floor, wanting to see him one more time. Because of that, she came in late for work, but no one said anything about it.However, what was disappointing was that she never succeeded in meeting Pierce—not even once. Little did she know that Pierce's car was parked in a designated location and he took the elevator, so he never passed through the first floor at all.Instead of running into Pierce, Yulia ran into Millie.When she saw Millie coming, she instinctively tried to put her best foot forward. She intentionally walked toward her and then pretended to bump into her, spilling the coffee she was holding onto Millie."I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that," she apologized.Millie glance

Isabella returned to her office and grew angry at the sight of Yulia trying to win everyone over outside. Despite still having feelings for Pierce even after his marriage, Isabella wouldn't commit immoral acts and refused to become a mistress.Never in her wildest dreams had she expected Pierce to be such a disgraceful person—a man who fooled around despite being married. He was nothing but a piece of trash, and she couldn't believe that she had liked him for nothing. Very quickly, she found the mutual group chat that she shared with Millie, where she had saved her contact under the nickname "109"."109, did you know that Mr. Atkinson is cheating on you?" Isabella typed out the message, but it felt wrong. So, she calmed herself and reassessed the situation. To her knowledge, Pierce had always been a righteous man. He was unlikely to make such a mistake. There had to be some kind of misunderstanding.If there was nothing going on, her words would become a depth charge, set

As Yulia said those words, she secretly looked forward to Pierce's response. After all, she would be thrilled to be involved with a man like Pierce.She had had her eyes on Pierce back then, and now that he'd saved her life, she saw him through rose-tinted glasses. Now, she was deeply and helplessly in love with him."It's fine. Think of it as charity," Pierce calmly said. Then he said, "Tobias, let's go straight to the conference room. Get ready to start the meeting." With that, he walked straight ahead without sparing Yulia a single glance. Yulia watched as Pierce left, her eyes filled with admiration.As she exited the Atkinson Group office and looked at the towering skyscraper, her excitement was beyond words. She never imagined that she would have the opportunity to cross paths with the renowned Pierce Atkinson in this lifetime. It was just that he was too cold toward her, which made it impossible for her to get close to him. On top of that, he was married, and from wha
