Millie frowned and feigned anger. "How could you go back on your word?""We never signed a contract, and you don't have any witnesses. How will you prove I'm going back on what I said? Let me tell you, our bet is still on!" Wanda shot back."What's the point of that? Since neither of us managed to invite Ms. Aurora, calling it a draw won't make things awkward," Millie argued."Who said I failed like you?" Wanda said."Do you mean you actually got her to agree? That's impossible!" Millie was doing her best to look panicked and desperate. Then, she once again pleaded with Wanda to call off the bet.Wanda's resolve only strengthened at Millie's apparent distress. With a smug smile, she adjusted her dress and said, "My hair and makeup aren't even done yet. I'm not wasting any more time listening to you."With that, she called her stylists back in and said to Millie, "Please leave. Have yourself a lovely day.""Wanda, there's no way you actually got her!" Millie called out as she lef

The tingling sensation sent shivers through Millie's body, filling her with an indescribable pleasure. Tears welled in her eyes, and her ears flushed crimson along with her face. She was dazed and consumed by a burning heat. Her voice was barely a whisper as she begged, "Stop! It really hurts. Pierce, let me go!"Hearing her distress, Pierce finally relented. Instead of biting, he began teasing her skin with the tip of his tongue.That only made her knees weaker. She nearly collapsed, but he steadied her by the waist. What the hell was Pierce doing now? Was this some crazy dream, or had he completely lost it? How could he do something this shameless in the emergency stairwell?Millie bit her lip hard to keep herself from making any embarrassing sounds. Her mind was a chaotic mess, but one thing she clung to was the resolve not to let out a single moan.Just then, Pierce's husky voice brushed against her ear, "Are you afraid Stefan might hear us?""Huh?" Millie stammered. It wasn

Standing there, Pierce's desire and anger had completely faded away. He felt awkward and stammered, "So, you were looking for Wanda just now?"Millie was beyond frustrated with him. She really wanted to slap him, but they still had to attend the wedding. Since he was her husband now, she couldn't let him show up with bruises. Not only would it be bad for her reputation, but Stefan and Wanda would likely make fun of them. So, she knew she had to bite her tongue and hold back her anger.She had rested enough to walk, so she said, "Put me down!"Knowing he was in the wrong, Pierce replied, "Sorry, I'll take you to fix your dress now."But instead of putting her down, he carried her straight to the lounge.Once they arrived, Millie rushed to the restroom to adjust her Nubra and fix her dress. She took off Pierce's coat and looked at her disheveled self in the mirror.Her dress had become loose and sagging. It was even slipping enough to reveal one side of her chest, which was marked

Pierce grunted in agreement and didn't dare look. He was afraid he'd lose control, consumed by obsession.Millie didn't stand on ceremony—she bit down hard without hesitation.Pierce let out a muffled groan. Millie was unsure if his response was because she had caught him off guard or if it hurt. It could also be some other reason.The sound he had made was muffled and husky. At that moment, Millie's imagination was running wild. She couldn't shake the feeling that it carried a hint of something more suggestive and intimate.She let go upon noticing that Pierce was sweating. Fine beads of sweat covered his forehead, and some even rolled down. His brows were tightly knit,and his thin lips were pressed into a firm line. Even his jawline was taut.Millie watched Pierce's Adam's apple move up and down. A single bead of sweat happened to slide down, triggering an inexplicable restlessness in her heart.She had originally planned to bite the other side to make it symmetrical, but her r

Fueled by the buzz surrounding the wedding, Leach Group's share price increased.Leach Group and Atkinson Group had always been fierce rivals for the top spot in the business world. Now, their competition was neck and neck, making it hard to tell which company held the upper hand. It felt as though they were advancing side by side.Upon seeing the snow, Wanda couldn't hold back the tears that slid down her cheeks. She was overwhelmed by the touching gesture.Stefan felt his heart race as he watched the woman he loved the most making her way toward him. He was finally marrying the girl he had dreamed of marrying in his youth. Though the journey had been fraught with obstacles, the two of them had reached their happy ending.All he cared about was Wanda. Millie had been nothing more than a fleeting distraction that drew him away temporarily.As this thought crossed his mind, his gaze drifted to the audience. He noticed Pierce holding Millie close to him. They looked every bit like a

Millie had just set down her phone when Pierce leaned in, trying to get a look. Instinctively, she turned the screen off and gave him a wary look.This was critical to her plan succeeding. Other than Julian, who had managed to independently deduce that she was Aurora, she hadn't shared this with anyone."Are you up to no good?" Pierce murmured, his voice low enough for only the two of them to hear.Millie felt a bit guilty. "No. What mischief could I be up to?""You're lying to Wanda. You're the international designer," Pierce said."How do you know that?" Millie stared at him in shock.Pierce's deep gaze lingered on her. There was a glint in his eyes that she couldn't quite decipher."Did you investigate me?" she asked, puzzled but not entirely surprised.It made sense—he was going to marry her, after all. Naturally, he'd want to ensure there were no skeletons in her closet. Still, she couldn't help feeling a little annoyed."You're not planning to sabotage me, are you?" she

Wanda's words stroke a chord in Stefan.It wasn't just Wanda who felt like she didn't recognize Millie anymore. He, too, found her completely unfamiliar. It was as if he had never truly known her.For three years, the gentle and agreeable Millie that he thought he knew had only been the version of herself that she wanted him to see.Stefan had believed he had her eating out his palm in those three years. But now, it was clear that Millie had been the one playing him for a fool.He silently clenched his fist and said, "Go ahead and make the announcement, then. She can't blame us for driving her into a corner since she was practically asking for it.""Thank you, Stefan. I was worried you'd think I was a cruel woman. I had no choice but to…" Wanda trailed off, her eyes brimming with tears."Alright, Wanda. We've been together for so many years. Don't I know what kind of person you are? Stop crying and fix your makeup. We're heading out soon," Stefan comforted.Wanda nodded and turn

"Where's Mr. Atkinson? Isn't he going to say something? It's his wife we're talking about, after all," someone in the crowd remarked.All eyes shifted to Pierce.He remained seated, calm and unbothered. His expression didn't betray even the slightest emotion."Everyone is responsible for their own words and actions. Since she made a wager and agreed to the terms, she must face the consequences now," he evenly said.The crowd couldn't help but applaud his stance. He was fair and impartial, which was very befitting of someone who'd once been a police officer."So, Mr. Atkinson, are you really just going to stand by and watch your wife's career go down in flames?" someone asked."If it comes to that, I'll support her for the rest of her life. It's not like I can't afford it," Pierce steadily replied.His declaration made everyone feel as if they'd just witnessed the most romantic gesture a man was capable of.Wanda quickly spoke up to reclaim the moment when she noticed that every

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
