The kiss quickly escalated out of control. Pierce's hands began to wander, lifting her clothing and gripping her. Millie found that she wasn't repelled by his closeness, but she didn't want it to happen in this unclear and distressing situation.She struggled with all her might. "Pierce, what do you think of me?""You're no different from Stefan right now!" she shouted angrily, feeling deeply wronged and her eyes welling up with tears.Pierce's body stiffened sharply at her words, his heart aching as if it were being torn apart. He shouldn't be the abuser!He hurriedly returned to his seat and rolled down the window, letting the night breeze in.Millie felt helpless and gathered her clothes to cover herself."I'm sorry," Pierce finally spoke after a long silence. "I lost control. I shouldn't have treated you like this.""So you always thought this way about me? No matter what I said about not loving Stefan, you thought I was lying, that I still had a place for him in my heart."

"How many times do I have to say it for you to understand? I don't love Stefan anymore—I hate him! Can you help me to get rid of this? Please, I'm begging you!" Millie pleaded desperately.Pierce held her shoulders, his gaze steady on hers. "Are you sure you want me to remove it?"Millie nodded firmly."Then, close your eyes," he instructed. As if entranced, Millie obediently closed her eyes. In that moment, she was nothing short of perfect in Pierce's eyes. She had always been pure and innocent to him. Any inappropriate thoughts would be a form of disrespect to her, so he dared not entertain them.His eyes fell on the hickey on her neck. He slowly leaned down and pressed his lips against it. His tongue brushed gently over the hickey, and Millie shivered in response. It stung at first, but gradually, the pain ebbed away into a soothing warmth. The tenderness of his kiss seemed to dissolve her pain. Although his touch occasionally intensified the ache, it also awakened a fee

Upon hearing Sharon's words, Millie massaged her temples, feeling a headache coming on. "Yeah, you're right.""That's just terrible! No matter how hard you try to explain yourself, people will always doubt you when it comes to such a thing. Stefan is such a jerk! He really screwed you over!" Sharon exclaimed."I didn't expect him to be so paranoid either," Millie replied."Speaking of which, Pierce is way too patient, isn't he? Even with the idea that you might have cheated on him, he's still putting up with everything?" Sharon asked, incredulous. Millie sighed at Sharon's words. "What do you think? He doesn't have any feelings for me, and our marriage is contractual. What does he even care? Honestly, even if I stood naked in front of him, he wouldn't even bat an eye.""How can he stand it? You're gorgeous, and your figure is amazing. How could he not fall for you?" Sharon protested.If Sharon were a man, she'd be grinning in her sleep at the thought of having someone like Mill

"There are no painkillers left," Millie said."I'll ask the doctor to bring some over," Pierce said. Then, he picked up his phone to make a call.But Millie stopped him. "Never mind. It's so late now, and the doctor needs to rest. There's no need to bother him just for painkillers. I can go to the pharmacy tomorrow and get them myself."After all, it wasn't like she couldn't handle the pain for just one night."Does it hurt a lot?" Pierce asked.Wanting to spare him any guilt, Millie lied, "It's not that bad…"As she spoke, Pierce gently touched the bandage on her wound. Even though he was careful, his touch still made her wince in pain.It had hurt like hell!Seeing her reaction, Pierce frowned. "Actually, there's another kind of painkiller. Do you want to try it?""Really? What is it? As long as it can relieve the pain, any brand is fine," she asked quickly.Hearing this, Pierce took a step closer. He cupped Millie's head with one hand while pulling her closer to him. Mil

"I just went to buy it. Having a car makes it all so convenient," Pierce said.Millie replied, "I just didn't want to bother anyone, that's why I—" "—I'm not 'anyone,' and it's no trouble for me. Just take your medicine and get some rest," Pierce cut her off, his tone firm yet gentle. Noticing that he'd even brought her a glass of warm water, Millie felt moved, but it also left a bittersweet ache in her heart. Pierce was so thoughtful and treated her well. But she knew it was only because she was Mrs. Atkinson. As his lawful wife, it was his duty to care for her.Moreover, Pierce was a man with high principles who lived by his moral compass. That was why he was so good to her.Maybe he didn't see anything wrong with it, but this could lead her to fall even deeper for him.After all, how could anyone resist a man who had pulled her out of a living hell and given her respect and dignity? Specifically, Pierce always seemed to be there whenever she needed him most. Could such a g

"You're still lying in the hospital, and your injuries are severe. It'll take some time to heal. Do you think we should postpone our wedding?" Wanda asked. "No, it's fine. The doctor said I'll be able to walk by then. As long as I stay away from alcohol, there shouldn't be any problems," Stefan replied.Wanda felt a wave of relief. She had always dreamed of becoming Mrs. Leach, and now it was finally about to come true. She asked again, "How's the wedding dress coming along?" Honestly, Wanda didn't think her designers were good enough to design her wedding dress. She had wanted to ask Aurora to design it for her. But to her surprise, Stefan had already found a designer and told her not to worry. Since he had already made up his mind, she didn't want to argue. Holding her hand, Stefan said, "I'll check on it. Don't worry. I'll make sure you're the most beautiful bride in the world." Wanda smiled shyly in response before going off to fetch him something. After she left, Stefan

In truth, Stefan just couldn't handle how easily Millie had stopped loving him. Millie was clear that she could never compare to Wanda; there was always a difference between being able to have something and not being able to, and Stefan's wounded pride and frustration over losing her were what made him treat her this way.Millie also knew all too well that if she ever gave her heart back to Stefan, he would not only see her as easy and cheap but would eventually grow tired of her. Meeting his bloodshot eyes with a steady gaze, Millie pried his fingers off her wrist one by one. A surge of satisfaction washed over her, but she didn't let it show. After all, Stefan saw love and hate as the same thing. Hatred meant he still held a place in her heart. But to be neither loved nor hated? That was what would hurt him most. So, no matter how angry or resentful she felt, she had to keep her expression calm."You're mistaken, Mr. Leach. I don't love you anymore. You should go and live a g

Before long, Millie and Wanda arrived at the café downstairs from the hospital."Stay away from Stefan," Wanda threatened.Millie smiled and calmly took a sip of her coffee. "Please get it straight. I'm not obsessed with him; he's the one who's simping for me like crazy."Wanda felt a wave of relief at Millie's words. The voice recorder she had been secretly holding would finally come in handy! She feigned indignation and said, "Millie, do you have to be that rude? You and Stefan were together for three years!""He spent those three years telling everyone I was his simp. I don't think he's been kind to me at all," Millie shot back."It's my fault that Stefan broke your heart. I sincerely apologize and ask that you forgive him. Also, I don't need that wedding dress from you anymore. Anyway, I'll still pay you the money," Wanda said."What a good request! Once you send me the final payment, just draw up a contract and have a lawyer notarize it," Millie replied."Let's be honest, M

Millie swiftly took some photos and handed the phone back to the guy."The photos you took look great, miss," one of them couldn't help but praise."Thanks for the compliment," Millie said with a smile.That person was so mesmerized that they stood there in a daze, unsure of what to do. Even when Millie had already walked away, he still hadn't snapped out of it."What's wrong? Do you like her?"Nathaniel Yates finally came to his senses. "N-No. Cut the nonsense. I just appreciate her photography skills."Meanwhile, Millie had gone over to sit by the water and noticed some fish in the lake. It reminded her of the last time she went fishing with Piercy. She was so lost in thought and didn't even notice that Nathaniel was secretly taking a photo of her from behind.He was using an instant camera, so the photo developed quickly.As Nathaniel stepped forward, Millie suddenly heard the noise behind her. She immediately turned around and saw an unfamiliar man, which startled her.

Millie quietly left the room so that Pierce could bid his gun a proper farewell. Then, she went downstairs for breakfast. However, breakfast felt tasteless.Pierce went downstairs after half an hour.Though he didn't have work that day, he dressed in formal attire to make the handover look more proper.The gun was wrapped in a paper bag. He casually set it aside as if nothing was wrong and began eating breakfast."It tastes delicious, you should try some," he casually uttered, serving Millie some food.Millie saw through Pierce's act but chose not to say anything.After that, Pierce remained silent the entire way to the CBP. The atmosphere in the car was heavy.Soon, they arrived at the police station, and Jason came out."Pierce…" Jason whispered, his voice slightly choked. He knew what it meant for Pierce to return the gun this time.Pierce looked at Jason's uniform and couldn't help but give him a firm pat on the shoulder. "Do your best. I have high hopes for you."Jas

Millie had once loved Stefan wholeheartedly, leaving herself no way out. But now, her love for Pierce was only six or seven on a scale of ten. She kept reminding herself that she shouldn't give anyone the chance to hurt her deeply again.Millie had even planned her retreat. If they broke up, she would be the one to walk away the most effortlessly.Once bitten, twice shy.Millie was well aware of her problems. Both she and Pierce had their fair share of flaws, and nobody was perfect. That was human nature."Pierce, you're way too extreme," Millie said."I know," Pierce answered.The most terrifying part was that he knew his flaws too well, yet he had no desire or intention to change.Pierce had suffered for his whole life. As an illegitimate child of the Atkinson family, he'd lost his mother at birth, and his father never loved him. The only place he ever felt a sense of belonging was with his grandfather. He was inherently a cold and unfeeling person, and the first time he bec

The call was quickly answered."Where are you?" Millie asked."I'm still on a business trip," Pierce replied."Then turn on the video. I want to see your face."There was a brief silence on the other end of the call. Millie knew Pierce was lying. "Are you still not willing to tell me the truth? Jason came to the house, asking to take back your gun. What's going on? What happened in the days you were away?""I'll tell you when I get back home." Pierce's voice was a bit muffled.He then hung up the call and removed the bandage from the corner of his eye.The wound was right beside his eyebrow. Since he had dark eyebrows, the scar shouldn't be that noticeable. He could only cling on to this wishful thinking.With that, Pierce returned to the villa.Millie hadn't seen him for days. She felt that he had lost a lot of weight and looked even more exhausted after the trip."How did you get injured again?" she asked.Pierce initially thought it would take her a long time to notic

Jacob eventually calmed down and said, "Do you still insist on doing this when you know it doesn't exactly benefit us?"Pierce replied, "I wouldn't dare to deceive you, neither do I dare to contact you in private. But this doesn't affect our operations, which was why I dared to do so. I want to find someone, but I can't no matter how hard I've tried, so I had no choice but to ask for their favor.""You… Are you still doing it even though we won't get anything good out of this?" Jacob asked.Pierce fell silent and clenched his fists. "Yes. I will resolve whatever problems I've caused. After that, I'll kill them in my own way."Jacob threw his cup at Pierce upon hearing this.With Pierce's skill, he could have dodged it. However, he chose to stand straight.The cup hit him right at the corner of his eye, causing him to bleed."You…" Jacob angrily stood up. "W-Why didn't you dodge?" he asked in a shaky voice."I did something wrong. It's right for you to punish me," Pierce simply

Gideon really admired Pierce's calm and composed demeanor."What's the matter?" he asked."I need you to help me find a lady who went missing. I have to know if she's still alive or not," Pierce answered. "I need her, dead or alive. I can't do this on my own, but with your help, it'll be much easier."He had used every legal method he could think of. But desperate times called for desperate measures, and there was only one option left—to enter the underworld."You're making such a big scene just to look for this one person? What? Is she like your lover or something?" Gideon asked."She's an enemy, the kind that I want dead more than anything."The way Pierce paused after each word made him sound eerily intimidating."Is she also like us, from the underworld?""No, she's just a nobody."Gideon felt chills running down his spine. Having dealt with Pierce for this long, he thought he knew his true nature well enough—a righteous police officer who always played by the book. But ri

Pierce felt like he was drowning, but if someone were to pull him out of the water right now, he would survive.Sometimes, Millie couldn't imagine what would happen if she left Pierce one day because of her disappointment in him. Would he still be able to move on?Pierce survived by clinging onto his sheer will. At first, it was the fixation on avenging his sister's death. But now, it was all because of Millie."What are you going to do now?" she asked."I can't tell you just yet, but I promise it won't take longer than three months."Since Pierce wasn't planning to elaborate, Millie didn't bother to keep on asking either.For the past few days, Millie had been carefully taking care of the wound on Pierce's neck. Even though a small patch of new pink flesh had grown over his wound, it still looked pretty hideous. Fortunately, Pierce always wore suits with collars that were high enough to cover his neck. Millie would always start tearing up whenever she saw his scar.She said,

Pierce was aghast. Mills! His poor Mills!Everyone around Pierce had accused him of committing a crime, but he didn't do it. He had been trying so hard to find out the truth, but in the end, he still got nothing.Did he really betray Millie? Did he really taint himself by sleeping with Sarah?Even if he truly believed that Piercy didn't do anything, he still couldn't find any evidence to prove it.Sarah and Piercy were nowhere to be found either.How was he supposed to prove his innocence? He felt like a trapped beast that couldn't find its way out.Just then, Millie made a subtle twitch. It startled Pierce, and he immediately withdrew his arm around her and pretended to remain unconscious.Millie didn't sleep well at all. The first thing she did after waking up was to check on Pierce. The monitor showed that Pierce's heart was racing.She then brought out a warm towel and gently wiped his face.She began, "Your hair has grown so much longer, but you didn't even properly

Millie rushed forward and saw the disconcerting look in Pierce's eyes.Pierce hadn't rested for two days, so his nerves were stretched to their absolute limit. His eyes were completely bloodshot too.The moment he saw Millie, he grabbed her like he was a drowning man who finally got his hands on a life buoy. His large hands clamped down on her arm with such force that it felt like he was going to crush her bones.Pierce howled, "Tell him to come out, please! He listens to you. Ask him to come out, Millie. I don't care if he takes over this body. I just need him to tell me the truth! Did I betray you? Did I mess around with another woman? I'm begging you…""Pierce, calm down please." Millie tried to soothe him."How can I calm down? I want to be with you, but if I really did betray you, then at least let me die knowing the truth! What am I supposed to do now? How long does he plan to torture me?"Pierce shoved Millie aside, frantically searching around the room. He even lunged at
