I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 274
Samantha froze in disbelief as Millie's words fell. Was she hearing things? Was Millie serious about leaving? Could this be real?Samantha suspiciously eyed Millie. "Why?""I don't like Pierce. We don't get along, so I want to leave. But he won't let me, so there's nothing I can do," Millie replied."What kind of spell have you cast on Pierce?" Samantha begrudgingly asked. She was utterly frustrated, though there was a hint of envy in her voice. How marvelous would it be if Pierce favored her above all?Samantha had once thought that Pierce treated her differently. She'd thought that she was unique. But all the treatment she had enjoyed thus far didn't hold a candle to how Pierce treated Millie. The care and love he showered her were unconditional.Samantha's jealousy burned bright, but there was nothing she could do about it. But now, Millie wanted to leave. If she left, wouldn't that mean that there would be no more competition?"Do you have a way to help me leave?" Milli

The door opened, and Samantha ran out clutching her cheek, crying. Millie's caregiver peeked inside and saw Millie lying calmly on the bed. It was clear who had come out on top."Ms. Jordan, are you going to rest now? Lunch will be ready soon. Should I bring it in before you sleep?" she asked."I'm tired. I'm going to sleep now," Millie replied, her voice muffled under the blanket she had pulled over her head.The caregiver didn't dare disturb her and quickly shut the door to avoid making noise.Meanwhile, "Samantha" sped up her pace and hurried out of the hospital. Having already been discharged, there was no reason for her caregiver to follow her. Pierce had sent someone to pick her up, but she deliberately left early, so no one was waiting for her at the entrance.She quickly hailed a cab."Where to?" the driver asked."The airport, please," Millie hastily said.Samantha had provided Millie with an ID and a passport. She had even converted some money into dinors so tha

When Pierce saw that it was Samantha on the bed, his face turned ashen.He grabbed her wrist with such force that it felt like he might dislocate her arm. He yanked her off the bed, causing Samantha to stumble. Samantha managed to steady herself, but her heart pounded as she met Pierce's piercing, furious gaze.She recalled a time from their childhood when she had run away and Pierce had found her. He had been furious back then. That was the angriest she'd ever seen him—until now. The infuriated expression he was showing in the moment surpassed that by far.Fear and jealousy filled Samantha's heart. How had Millie stolen all the affection and privilege that had once been hers in such a short time? Why was this happening?"Where's Millie?" Pierce sternly asked."M-Millie… ran away," Samantha stammered. "I came to confront her today, but she held a knife to my face and threatened to cut me up if I didn't do what she said. I didn't have a choice!""If she escaped, why didn't y

The flight attendant spoke politely, but Millie's fear surged as she glanced at the cabin door, which had now been reopened.She couldn't leave the plane. This was the last flight of the day. If she stayed in Arbelton, Pierce would undoubtedly find her."My passport is fine. Can't I resolve this issue with the embassy once I arrive at my destination?" Millie desperately asked."I'm sorry, miss. If you don't disembark, we cannot take off. This will delay the flight for all the other passengers," the flight attendant replied.At those words, murmurs and complaints spread throughout the plane.Millie looked around and saw only eyes filled with frustration and blame. Reluctantly, she stepped off the plane and helplessly watched as the aircraft—her chance at freedom—took off without her.Still, she quickly stabilized her emotions and composed herself. She couldn't waste time wallowing—she needed to leave the airport immediately.As she hurried back toward the main terminal, she spott

Pierce's husky voice broke the silence as he looked at Millie with deep-set eyes. They were filled with a smoldering intensity that enveloped Millie's whole being. The air was thick with unspoken desire.For a moment, Millie genuinely feared he would devour her whole, right there and then. After all, he had no need to hide anything from her anymore since she had already found out about everything."No… I won't run anymore," she lied, playing along for now. But she knew she would run again in a heartbeat the moment an opportunity presented itself.She couldn't force Pierce to go to prison, but she also couldn't live under the same roof with someone who had violated her. If she accepted and went along with it, what would that say about her principles and her conscience?Millie had tried to rationalize everything by reminding herself that her circumstances had been dire, and she had been drugged. Perhaps being saved by Pierce had been better than falling into someone else's hands.

Without Millie, Pierce would have descended into madness a long time ago. If it were possible, he would have hidden his true nature forever. He would have been content to keep up the pretense for a lifetime, as long as it made her happy.It was true that he had deliberately played a role. Even so, his affection for her had always been genuine. Still, Pierce knew that he had committed a grave sin that was unforgivable.He was prepared to spend the rest of his life making amends. He didn't expect Millie to forgive him, nor could he persuade himself to let her go. Though they were both suffering, he couldn't bear to grant Millie the freedom she wanted.If he chose to let go now, there would be no future for them.Millie wasn't a kite tethered by a string that was easily retrieved. She was like a falcon, wild and untamable. Once set free, she would be gone forever."You can just assume that it was all fake," Pierce softly said. He seriously continued, "I won't restrict your freedom. Y

At the moment when Millie craved for vengeance against Stefan, Pierce had agreed to marry her. When she put herself in danger to lure William into taking action, he had promised to protect her. When Sharon was in peril, she had charged in alone—absolutely unafraid—because she knew Pierce would come for her.He taught her, step by step, how to shoot a gun. He gave her the confidence to stand up to Wanda.At that grand wedding, while everyone's eyes were on the couple kissing on stage, Pierce had secretly kissed her.How could she have been so foolish to miss all the signs? Everything he did had been so obvious, yet Millie had always believed it was purely out of his sense of responsibility. She had chalked it all up to the fact that she was his wife, and nothing more.She had suspected that he loved Samantha and every other person, but never herself.Before she learned the truth, Pierce had been nearly perfect in her eyes—he was flawless.He was a hero to so many. To her, he was

Millie refused to believe that a person could change so drastically without reason."Do you know the details of the birthday party kidnapping?" Millie asked."Unfortunately, I don't know anything about that," Julian replied.Millie suppressed her curiosity and picked up her phone. She thought of calling Pierce, but would he even tell her the truth?She rubbed her temples, debating that thought for a moment. In the end, she decided against it.After that, Millie pushed aside all distracting thoughts and focused on her work. She had several custom orders to complete, including one for Felicity Harmon, the daughter-in-law of a real estate tycoon. She had just finished drafting the design sketches and needed to discuss them with Felicity.So, Millie called her to arrange a meeting."I happen to be free today. I'm at Leach Manor. You can come over," Felicity said over the phone."Leach Manor?" Millie repeated."Yes, I'm having coffee with Mrs. Leach. Is there a problem?" Felicity

Charlotte took a jibe at Pierce mercilessly. Her sarcastic words drew a dark, brooding look from him.However, she stared back at him fearlessly. "What? Did I say something wrong? Come on, we still have to go downstairs and toast the guests. We need to finish playing the part."Pierce suppressed his emotions and followed Charlotte back downstairs. When Pierce saw Julian, an unexplainable anger flared up inside him. He called Julian over to a quiet corner."I thought you'd already succeeded in winning her over," Pierce said with a hint of mockery in his tone.Julian couldn't say a word to refute him. Instead, he silently downed two glasses of wine."If she really settles for someone, I hope that person is you," Pierce added.Julian frowned. "What do you mean by that?""I trust your character. If she's with you, she'll have a happy life," Pierce said humorlessly."Then what about you? Why did you get divorced? Weren't you determined to win her over back then?" Julian demanded, hi

Eager to mock Millie, Wanda continued, "You losing to me is only a matter of time. If I were you, I'd kneel and beg for mercy now. Maybe I'd let you off the hook."Millie ignored her completely."I'll keep my eyes peeled and see just how long you can keep up this act," Wanda snapped, clearly infuriated.Just then, Pierce approached them with Charlotte by his side."Millie, you really came. I made a bet with Pierce that you wouldn't show up. Looks like I lost!" Charlotte said cheerfully."Well, you should honor your bet then," Pierce replied."What reward do you want?" Charlotte asked, looking at him with curiosity.The next second, Pierce leaned down and kissed her cheek.The surrounding guests erupted into cheers. They glanced at Millie, trying to gauge her reaction and wondering if the ex-wife would break down on the spot.However, Millie remained calm with a faint smile on her face. Her relationship with Pierce was in the past. Now, Pierce and Charlotte were getting engaged

Just then, the car door on the other side opened, and a handsome man stepped out. He was Millie's date, Tristan Urban, and she had only spoken to him ten minutes ago.He approached her and took her arm. Then, he lifted the hem of her dress as they made their way up the steps together.Millie ignored the curious and judgmental stares of those around her and walked straight toward the entrance. Before she could get inside, a hand grabbed her wrist and pulled her off to the side.Tristan quickly followed.Millie looked at Stefan, bewildered. "Why did you pull me aside?""Who is he?" Stefan asked coldly, glaring at Tristan."An escort I hired. He's my date for today," Millie replied casually."Nice to meet you, Mr. Leach. I've heard so much about you," Tristan greeted politely."An escort you hired to be your date? Do you know what you're doing by bringing someone like him to an event like this? Are you crazy?" Stefan hissed."Who else should I bring? I didn't have anyone suitable

Millie was grateful that she hadn't given her life to a man who didn't deserve it. She was grateful she had only wasted three years and not more.So, when she realized that her relationship with Stefan was nothing but a joke, she forced herself to suppress her feelings and never held out hope for him again.But Pierce… Her feelings for Pierce were far more complicated. She had always regarded him as her savior. In her moments of crisis, he was the first person she thought of. He was someone she had put on a pedestal and thought was invincible—he had given her courage and security.But suddenly, her savior turned into her enemy and nightmare. While it was true that he had violated her, the fact that he had treated her well in every possible way was equally true. This contradiction tormented Millie, making it impossible for her to accept or reconcile what had happened between them.They had separated amicably, but she couldn't adjust her feelings as quickly.Pierce hadn't betrayed h

Julian watched as Millie's pupils contracted and her face turned pale. He couldn't help but find it a little amusing. She was so slow to react that she hadn't noticed his feelings for her at all."Julian, are… are you drunk?" she asked shakily."I haven't been drinking. I'm completely sober," he replied."T-Then, why are you t-talking nonsense?" Millie stuttered. How had this happened so suddenly? It caught her completely off guard—she hadn't been prepared for this at all.Julian confessed, "Millie, my feelings for you didn't just start now. I've liked you for a long time. Back in college, I already had feelings for you. But then, I had to go abroad for my studies, and I was afraid you couldn't accept being in a long-distance relationship. "I was also too much of a coward to take that first step. If I had, we might have already been together back then."Then your family ran into trouble, and I found out too late. By the time I came back, you were already with Stefan. I thought

Charlotte often took advantage of her gender to get close to women, and the worst part was that those women never even realized it."Stay away from her in the future," Pierce warned icily.Charlotte realized he was serious and not joking this time. She asked, "If you like her so much, why did you divorce her?""She wasn't happy with me," Pierce replied."If that's true, then why do you care? You were upset when I held her hand today. But sooner or later, another man will hold her hand too. Are you going to warn all of them and sabotage her love life?" Charlotte was puzzled."If someone who's genuinely good for her shows up in her life, I'll let her go and wish her well," Pierce answered."Really?" Charlotte leaned closer, staring directly into his eyes. Pierce looked away, shifting his gaze to the scenery outside the window. "What are you looking at?""I'm looking at how diffident you look when you said that. Do you even believe what you just said?" Charlotte commented shrewdl

Just then, Celia rushed in. "Ms. Jordan, um… that foreign woman is here.""What foreign woman?" Millie froze."Your love rival!" Celia squeaked.Millie got it immediately—Charlotte was here. Why had she come looking for her?"Julian, I'm going to see what this is about," Millie said, leaving hastily.Julian was left alone in the office. The words he wanted to say became caught in his throat. He opened and closed his mouth, feeling exasperated at the situation.When Millie saw the vivacious Charlotte, she couldn't help but notice her defined features and striking blue eyes. She even had natural mermaid waves."Oh, so you're Pierce's ex-wife… You're so beautiful!" Charlotte praised chirpily.Millie had a timeless beauty about her. She had an exceptional bone structure that made her delicate features pop. No matter the nationality, one would find her attractive at first glance.In contrast to Charlotte's enthusiasm, Millie was somewhat wary of her presence. She guessed that Charl

Could this be Pierce's doing?Millie thought it wasn't likely. This was too significant and well-planned to happen randomly overnight. Even if Pierce had suddenly wanted to retaliate against the Searle family, it wouldn't have been possible for a scandal of this scale to break so quickly.Besides, he hadn't helped her at all during her recent struggles. Why would he go after the Searle family just because Felicity slapped her?Perhaps this was just a coincidence. Felicity had been throwing her weight around for too long. It was only fitting that the consequences caught up with her now."This is more dramatic than a prime-time soap opera! The uncle had an affair with his brother's wife and let his brother raise his child. "Do you think the older brother suspected something all along? Otherwise, why did he favor the eldest son and give him everything while ignoring the younger one most of the time?" Sharon commented.She gossiped away enthusiastically. Since this wasn't entertainm

Millie was still in the restroom. She stared at the bright red invitation card in her hand and found it laughable.Pierce invited her, his ex-wife, to attend his engagement party and even demanded her blessing. What was he thinking? How was this any different from giving her blessing to Wanda and Stefan?He had violated her, and she hadn't even cursed him out with the vilest of curses. How dare he ask for her blessing?Pierce was getting engaged, yet he had kissed her in the restroom. What did that even mean?Millie felt an overwhelming sense of anguish, thinking that Pierce must be sick—seriously sick.She returned to Sharon's place dejectedly. To her surprise, Sharon was home."Aren't you supposed to be on a business trip?" Millie asked in surprise.Sharon replied, "It was canceled at the last minute, so I didn't go. Your eyes…"Millie's eyes were red-rimmed. It was obvious that she had been crying.She hadn't gone back to the office, as she was afraid that Julian would noti
