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

Wanda felt aggrieved. She had bribed the media, but she'd never ordered anyone to commit murder. She hadn't gone that far. After all, Millie had been keeping a low profile and was out of the public eye. Even if Wanda had wanted to act, there had been no opportunity for her to do so.Yet, Millie somehow went out and was ambushed by rabid people who had gotten too carried away with their hate for her.When Wanda learned that Millie was hospitalized due to a grave injury and was possibly on the brink of death, she'd secretly prayed for her demise every day."Stefan, don't listen to her nonsense! I didn't order anyone to kill her. You can look into it and judge for yourself!" Wanda cried."Then explain this!" Stefan threw the evidence at her. Wanda flipped through the pages, her face growing paler with each one. Pierce's investigation had been meticulous. Even though Wanda had used someone else's identity to bribe the media, it hadn't been enough to cover her tracks.As she con

It was a document.Stefan opened it and saw evidence detailing how Wanda had bribed the media to manipulate public opinion. It showed how she'd egged the incensed internet users on in chat groups, encouraging them to confront Millie in person.The document even implied that Wanda had hired the person who stabbed Millie!Stefan stared at the document, his hands slightly trembling. He blurted in disbelief, "This… This can't be true. Wanda wouldn't do something like this. I've done my best to make her feel secure, and she promised to live a good life with me… You're making false accusations!"Millie coldly retorted, "You're still the same as always. You take her side no matter what. Must I die in her hands before you'll finally admit the truth?""No… That's not what I meant…" Stefan's voice faltered, his words weak and unconvincing.The evidence was damning—it pointed squarely at Wanda.He had already promised to cut ties with Millie and avoid her to focus on his own life. Yet, w

"You will go to Stefan and accuse Wanda of the heinous act and force him to tear away the last shred of their façade. I've set the stage. When the time comes, everyone will play their part," Pierce calmly explained."I'll be going to him?" Millie asked, incredulous."Yes, you. You'll be the victim. Because of the uproar surrounding this controversy, you were attacked by a group of irrational people, and your life was nearly taken. Among them, there were people sent by Wanda."Wanda wasn't the culprit, but that didn't matter because Pierce would make sure that she was. This act was staged for Stefan to deepen his guilt toward Millie and heighten his loathing for the venomous Wanda."So, do I need to get injured?" Millie questioned."A fake injury will suffice. I'll have a special effects artist create a realistic wound for you," Pierce replied, stepping closer. He placed a finger near Millie's heart and said, "You'll take a stab here. If it's a little deeper or slightly toward

"Take him downstairs and give him whatever he wants," Stefan ordered through gritted teeth. If there hadn't been an outsider present, he might have lost his temper on the spot.Mark sensed the tension in the air. So, he quickly escorted the man out and dealt with the matter before rushing back to the office.By the time he came back, the office was a mess. Everything on the desk had been hurled across the room and scattered everywhere.Stefan was not one to easily lose his cool—he was usually calm and composed. But this time, he couldn't hold back his anger.Mark understood why Stefan found this unbearable. After all, the man's arrival was a blatant reminder to him that Wanda had been in contact with Celia, and there had been financial dealings between them.This meant that Wanda wasn't as innocent as she made herself to be when she had the miscarriage.Stefan had been staunchly defending Wanda. So, this was essentially a harsh slap to his face for blindly choosing to stand b

Millie shut herself away from the outside world. In the following days, she didn't step out of her home at all. She had already informed Julian and Sharon not to argue on her behalf online, saying that justice would prevail sooner or later.Furthermore, to protect her employees and shield them from being adversely affected, she ordered everyone in her design studio to take leave for the time being. She would hold Wanda accountable for the studio's losses and make her pay back the damages down the road.Meanwhile, the rumors spread like wildfire on the internet.When Stefan saw them, he felt conflicted. He wanted to help but didn't want to risk Wanda finding out and losing her mind over it. He knew he had no other options left—his only choice was to firmly stand by Wanda. So, he decided to stay on the sidelines and waited for Pierce to act.Occasionally, he found satisfaction in the online discourse. Millie had claimed that she would never stoop so low as to become someone's

"But right now, the situation doesn't look good for you. Pierce and Charlotte are still engaged, and you've already divorced him. Yet, you're frequently seen together. The public backlash against you may be severe," Sharon warned."Don't worry. I'll be fine," Millie reassured her. Then, she ended the call and turned to Pierce.Coincidentally, Pierce was looking down at his phone and had just looked up as their eyes met. For a brief moment, an unspoken understanding passed between them."It seems like you've heard of the rumors being spread," Pierce said. "Yes. I plan to let it blow up first and create a bigger uproar before releasing the news of your annulled engagement with Charlotte," Millie replied."Alright, I'll follow your lead. I'll find out who's behind this soon enough." Pierce agreed.Millie changed the topic. "Didn't you sleep well last night? You have dark circles under your eyes.""It's nothing, I just had one too many dreams. It's not a big deal," Pierce said wi

Millie and Pierce had been able to handle amorous moments previously. But ever since she found out that Pierce was the man back on the ship, she'd developed a significant aversion whenever she got too close to him. So, they hadn't done anything more intimate since then.Millie wanted to suppress her fear and to try and take things further with Pierce. She kept trying to convince herself that given the circumstances back then, Pierce didn't have any better option to help her.If he had had any other options, he would never have taken that path. He was different from others. He had deceived her later on because he feared that she wouldn't be able to accept it—all of his efforts were for her sake.Millie struggled to control her emotions and forced herself to move her trembling hand downward. Her hand uncontrollably shook, and her face grew paler by the second.However, Just as she was about to touch Pierce, he firmly caught her hand. His eyes were filled with absolute tenderness

Wanda met Stefan's gaze, still feeling reluctant to back down. But at that moment, she couldn't find the words to refute him.She was incredibly jealous that Millie got to be with Pierce—that meant that she had secured a better other half than she did. Also, she was displeased by the fact that Leach Group was overshadowed by Atkinson Group.Wanda had yet to see Millie on her knees, begging for mercy. She wanted Millie to admit that she had lost and was inferior to her. She wasn't willing to let it all go. On the surface, she agreed with Stefan. But in her heart, she was already plotting how to deal with Millie.Didn't Millie claim she would never be a mistress? But Pierce and Charlotte were engaged in the eyes of the public now. So, hadn't Millie knowingly become a mistress? If the media caught wind of this, the backlash alone could destroy Millie.…That evening, Millie visited Agnes and stayed for dinner at Robin's residence. Pierce had originally planned to attend a busin

Millie shot Stefan a cold glare. "You've wrongfully already accused me once. Are you going to do it a second time?"Stefan had been about to say something, but her words left him speechless. His retort got stuck in his throat.Wanda angrily pointed at Millie and screeched, "This time, it's obvious you pushed me on purpose!""Don't you know why I pushed you? My phone is my personal property. Why did you snatch it from me?""You were messaging my husband. You shameless whore!""You heard that, Stefan. She grabbed my phone without my permission to look at our chats. If she wants to check up on you, it's fine because you're her husband. She can check your phone as she likes, but she shouldn't snoop through mine."I have nothing to hide. You know better than anyone whether or not I've ever tried to seduce you!"With that, Millie turned and headed upstairs without sparing Stefan another glance.As she walked past him, Stefan instinctively reached out as though he wanted to grab her h
