I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 216
After all the effort that Millie had made to escape the villa, was she now out of the pan and into the fire?She struggled desperately, her strong survival instincts giving her unexpected strength. Still, the disparity in strength between a man and a woman was undeniable—she couldn't overpower the taxi driver."Let me go!" Millie cried, her voice trembling and on the verge of breaking into sobs."Relax, sweetheart. I'll take good care of you. Heaven must have taken pity on me to send you my way!" the man said with a lecherous, greedy smile.Millie felt nauseous at his words. Just then, her hand brushed against a rock on the ground. Immediately, she grabbed it and smashed it against the man with all her might.Millie didn't know where she'd hit, but the man yelped in pain and released his grip.Millie then seized the opportunity and bolted away without hesitation. If he'd managed to drag her into the abandoned building, there would be no escape. No one would hear her cries f

The driver, a middle-aged man who remained a bachelor, had found Millie on the road. He acted on his vile impulses and planned to take her to a deserted place to assault her.Stefan happened to have just returned from a business trip and was taking a shortcut when he stumbled upon the scene."Did you find out anything from the Atkinson residence?" he asked Wade.Wade reported, "Yes. Ms. Jordan accidentally injured Ms. Atkinson, so Mr. Atkinson locked her up as a punishment and to appease Ms. Atkinson. The maids at the villa cut off her food and water, took her phone, and locked her in her room. "She was left to survive on tap water for days before she managed to escape late at night. None of the maids checked on her as she was in solitary confinement. I think they haven't realized that she's missing yet. But they'll find out about it soon."Stefan let out a cold laugh. "Pierce pretended to care so much, and this is how he treats her? What a joke."He glanced at the unconscious M

"Well, it seems like you don't have great taste in men," Stefan commented with biting sarcasm."That's true. Otherwise, why would I have dated you?" Millie instantly shot back.Stefan was rendered speechless. He felt as if he'd shot his own foot with that remark. Still, he found Millie's fiery temper both irritating and endearing.Since their separation, Millie had stirred emotions in him that he didn't know he was capable of—love, hate, and everything in between.Just then, Stefan's phone rang. He glanced at the screen, and his expression turned serious. "I need to take this call," he said, stepping away from Millie.Then, he walked into the hallway to answer the call.Millie immediately knew that it was Wanda calling him.Unsurprisingly, Wanda's voice came from the other side of the line, "Stefan, what have you been so busy with lately? You're not even answering my calls." "I'm still on a business trip. Work has been hectic. I hope you understand," Stefan smoothly replied.

"Well played, Pierce."I'll come visit sometime again, Millie," Stefan said before leaving.If Wanda found him there, he wouldn't be able to explain himself. He thought that not getting into trouble with Wanda was the wiser choice.After that, Pierce immediately pushed open the door to Millie's room. However, the bed was empty. The IV needle had been removed, and Millie was gone."Millie?" Panic set in as Pierce began frantically searching the room.When he opened the bathroom door, he found her attempting to climb out through the window. His heart sank—they were on the tenth floor!He rushed forward and grabbed her wrist, forcefully pulling her back. "What are you doing? Are you trying to get yourself killed?"Millie was equally shaken. She had thought that she could climb out the window and use the air conditioning unit to reach the adjacent room. She had even torn down the shower curtain and tied one end around her waist and the other to the faucet as a precaution. But

Samantha pouted in frustration, feeling wronged. "Pierce, isn't that in the past already? I'm not even holding it against her anymore, so why are you still bringing it up? "No matter what I did, it doesn't justify her pulling a knife on me, does it? That's attempted murder. It changes the situation completely!""The maids told me everything," Pierce coolly said, his gaze sharp and icy as it locked onto Samantha.Samantha's heart sank. Her eyes nervously darted left and right for a moment before she regained her composure. But Pierce had already seen enough to piece things together.He hadn't actually questioned the maids yet—he didn't need to. A thorough investigation would inevitably reveal the truth. What he wanted was for Samantha to admit it herself.After all, she was his sister."Pierce, I admit I bullied her. I told her to get you a cake for your birthday as a joke. How was I supposed to know that she'd get so upset? She just couldn't take a joke…" Samantha continued to

"What do you mean by that?" Samantha understood what Jessie was hinting at. She frowned hard and showed a strained expression."I have the records of our chats. If Mr. Atkinson finds out…" Jessie trailed off."Are you threatening me?" Samantha hadn't expected Jessie to be so bold as to turn on her like this.In truth, Jessie didn't actually have the courage to go against Samantha. But she had worked hard to climb her way up to head housekeeper, and she was already earning an annual salary of tens of thousands of dollars at that point in time. Now that Pierce had dismissed her, she knew that finding another job that paid this well would be difficult. She had ended up in this position because of Samantha, so it was only natural that Samantha should take responsibility for her dismissal."Ms. Sammy, I only ended up like this because I did your bidding. You have to help me. Otherwise, I'll have no choice but to turn to Mr. Atkinson." Jessie stressed."Fine. I'll make it up to you,

After that, Stefan didn't come and visit again.Millie stayed in the hospital for five days, during which her condition steadily improved. She no longer felt light-headed when she stood, and the bruises and injuries on her body began to heal too.When it was time to leave, she packed her things and decided to go to the villa to retrieve her personal belongings.During her hospital stay, Millie had barely spoken to Pierce. He'd come to visit her daily, and although sometimes he would be delayed by work, he would still come late at night. Often, it seemed like he wanted to say something, but he ultimately held himself back. His deep-set, unreadable eyes seemed to hold countless emotions, but Millie didn't try to decipher them.When she was discharged, Pierce drove her back to the villa.To her surprise, she was greeted by a row of maids in matching uniforms as soon as she entered. All of them were unfamiliar faces.They stood respectfully and greeted her in unison, "Greetings, Mr
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 223
The commotion subsided after everyone had been dragged away. Finally, Millie felt a rare moment of peace.She wasn't a saint. Why should she go easy on the maids who had tormented her?Millie glanced at Pierce, wondering if he regretted his decision to marry her. After all, she was indeed a bad woman in the eyes of others. If he wanted a divorce, she'd agree without hesitation.But Pierce's intense gaze was filled not with disgust. Rather, it was filled with admiration.Millie couldn't fathom what he meant by that."Take a moment to rest. I'm going upstairs to grab something," Pierce said."Do whatever you want," Millie replied indifferently.A short while later, Pierce came back down. He said, "I've moved all my belongings to the guest room. It's locked, so you won't have to see them. I won't be staying here. You can make any changes to the house you like."In fact, you can even tear it down if you want. The maids answer only to you, and I'll cover the expenses. If they're n

Millie gently closed the box.Suddenly, a single tear slipped down, landing silently on the surface. Only then did Millie realize that she had been crying. She wasn't sure if she was mourning the love she once had or if her tears were for something else entirely.No wonder Pierce had told her to look at it in private. He didn't want to see her shedding tears for another man."It's all in the past. Why send this now?" Millie murmured.She wiped away her tears and picked up her phone. "Tobias, do me a favor. Auction something for me. Donate every last cent of the proceeds to charity. Not a single penny should be kept."She then ended the call and looked at the small box again. At least this way, it would be put to good use…Afterward, Millie headed to the study to check on Pierce. He watched her closely, his deep eyes unreadable.Millie pretended not to notice and said, "You keep working. I'm just going to sketch for a while."Pierce pressed his lips together as if he wante

Millie followed Pierce back home. As she stepped into the familiar space that belonged to just the two of them, her heart felt heavy with emotions.It had been two months since she had last been here, yet everything remained unchanged. Even the wardrobe had been stocked with new seasonal outfits.In those two months, Millie had lost a lot of weight. So, Pierce instructed the kitchen to prepare nourishing meals for her. He was determined to bring her back to full health.Pierce remained bedridden for another half month before he could finally use a cane to walk around a bit. His right leg was still severely injured, and every step sent searing pain through his body, making his face go pale and his forehead damp with cold sweat.Millie couldn't bear to watch him suffer and urged him to rest. But Pierce was stubborn and walked until his legs trembled, and he could no longer stand. Only then would he sit down."Does it hurt?" Millie worriedly asked."It doesn't. I just need to pr

With that, Millie turned around and left without hesitation. But just as she was about to step out of the room, Stefan's voice called out behind her once more, "Millie, I owe you an apology for everything. I never really said it before. It's late… but at least I'm finally saying it. "Millie, I'm sorry. I was the one in the wrong." Stefan's voice was soft, weakened by his injuries. It sounded as though those few words had drained all the strength from his body.Millie's body stiffened, and her hands were tightly clenched into fists at her sides.Stefan was apologizing at long last.Millie wanted to turn around to see if he was truly sincere or if this was just another one of his manipulations. However, she held herself back. Unimportant people didn't deserve even a second glance.Millie didn't say anything. She didn't say whether she would or would not forgive him. She just walked away.Stefan's face turned even paler. He knew that after everything he had done, he would never

Millie didn't want to see Pierce struggling alone, bottling up all his pain like a wounded lion licking its wounds in solitude.Upon hearing her words, Pierce simply tightened his embrace around her. "Mills… I'm scared…""I know. I understand," Millie whispered, gently patting his back."I'm afraid I won't be able to lift you anymore, and I'm afraid I won't be able to run or jump. I'm scared I won't be able to fight the bad guys and protect you anymore." Pierce's voice was soft and barely above a whisper. His sorrow was almost imperceptible, but it could be because he still hadn't fully released his emotions.Millie started, "You still have me. If you can't carry me, then don't. If you can't run fast or jump high, then I'll slow down and walk beside you. I can be your crutch and your support for a lifetime, okay?"And listen, Pierce, you may not be able to fight on the front lines anymore, but you're still there in spirit. We can move to the back lines to provide funding and strat

Pierce didn't tell Millie everything—such as the fact that Stefan had initially wanted to kill him. He spared Stefan some dignity, not wanting Millie to hate him forever.Millie stayed in the hospital to care for Pierce for two days when there was finally a change in Stefan's condition.Before he even regained consciousness, he was already calling her name. Robin anxiously rushed in to find Millie, and she hurried over."The patient's wound has gotten infected, leading to complications. We need to start emergency treatment immediately!""How could this have happened? Wasn't he supposed to wake up?" Robin was beside himself with worry."Millie… Millie…" Even in his fevered delirium, Stefan kept murmuring her name.Millie went over to him. His hand, which had been weakly grasping at the air, finally caught hold of something—her fingers. He clung to her tightly."I'm here, Stefan," she softly uttered.It was as if her words held some kind of magic, as Stefan immediately calmed d

Every word Pierce spoke was firm and impactful. Each word hammered on Stefan's heart mercilessly.Pierce owned up to his mistakes. But what about him? Could he do the same?All this while, he had been shifting the blame to everyone else. He blamed Pierce for stealing Millie away. Then, he blamed Millie for not forgiving him. He even blamed Wanda for seducing him, and the list went on…He had blamed so many people, holding onto their faults while conveniently brushing aside his own. When it came to himself, he always found a way to justify his actions. He completely ignored that he was the true cause of everything.Stefan's grip on Pierce's collar loosened. He took a few steps back in a daze and stumbled on his own feet, causing him to nearly fall to the ground."Those criminals… They're planning to strike again. I agreed to help them," Stefan said."Why are you telling me this?" Pierce responded."She said… She said that if you died, she wouldn't live either." Stefan's voice was

Millie gave Pierce a profound look that contained a myriad of emotions. Pierce could have been selfish and not tell her any of Stefan's good deeds. He could've even stopped her from visiting Stefan. Yet, he didn't do that.After giving Pierce one heavy nod, Millie went over to the adjacent hospital room.Stefan was seriously injured too. His health wasn't as good as Pierce's to begin with, so he still hadn't woken up yet.Robin was in his room, sitting beside him. He kept silently wiping away tears at one side."This is my only nephew. If anything were to happen to him, how would I face his late parents?" Robin mournfully said."Does Grandma know about this?" Millie inquired."I don't have the heart to tell Mom about this. She's old and frail. I don't want her to have a breakdown," Robin replied."I'll keep him company, Robin," Millie said.Robin hesitated for a moment and ultimately nodded. He believed that Stefan would want to see Millie upon waking up. So, Millie staye

"Don't move around. You're still very weak. The doctor said to give you some oatmeal porridge when you wake up. Your digestive system is still quite weak, so you need to eat something that goes down easily."A familiar voice sounded in Millie's ears."G-Grandpa? Why are you here? Where's Pierce? Pierce? Pierce…" After a moment of silence, Millie mumbled, "I forgot… Pierce is dead. Not even his body remains.""What nonsense are you speaking, child? Isn't he lying right beside you?" Bill interjected.Millie visibly froze for a second. Then, she whipped her head around to look. As Bill had said, Pierce was indeed right beside her. Layers of gauze were wrapped around his body, and he seemed to be heavily injured. However, his vital signs were steady, and his heartbeat was rhythmic—he was no longer in a critical condition."Pierce…" Millie tumbled out of bed without a care for the pain in her limbs.Bill quickly went over to support her and combined their beds together."H-How is t
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 648
Millie broke down emotionally. She was done with Stefan's constant self-righteous justification. He always blamed everyone else and deemed himself free of any wrongdoing. He acted as if the whole world had wronged him, while he had never wronged anyone.He painted himself as the pitiful and innocent victim, twisting logic to justify everything he did.Millie was done acting her part. She would let things play out however they should. There was no longer anything tying her to this world. If anything happened to Pierce, she wouldn't live either. Just the thought of being imprisoned by Stefan for three years was worse than death.And so, she locked herself in her room and refused to come out. Every day, the housekeepers delivered her meals. She had no appetite but still ate well.Millie also no longer cared whether Stefan had drugged her food or not. If she turned into a mindless lunatic, maybe that would be better than this painful clarity.…Days passed one after another.One
