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!"

    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

    Millie shook off Felicity's hand and walked away without looking back. Felicity was unwilling to let it go, so she went after Millie. "Wanda has been too soft on you. That's why you dare to be so audacious and trample all over her! If it were me, I'd skin you alive for your behavior—"As Felicity continued to rant, she reached out to grab Millie's shoulder. To her surprise, Millie grasped her hand and threw her to the floor with a clean over-the-shoulder toss with ease.Felicity cried out in pain, shocking the other three women. None of them could believe that Millie, who looked so slender and delicate, had just tossed the burly Felicity over her shoulder like it was nothing.Millie snapped, "Are you done? You've wasted my entire morning, and I haven't even demanded an apology from you. "Alright, then. Apologize now! You called me here when you had something going on and didn't have time for me. You'd been toying with me! Hurry up and apologize!""I-Is this how your studio tr

    Millie delivered a swift kick to Felicity's chest and slapped Wanda hard across the face. Then, she pretended to repeatedly hit Wanda by accident. The more Wanda tried to mediate, the more blows she received. On the other hand, Felicity suffered no major injuries despite looking disheveled."What's going on here? What do you take my house for?" The door suddenly burst open. Stefan was standing in the doorway with a thunderous expression.The moment Wanda saw him, she ran toward him like a damsel in distress with tears pitifully streaming down her face."Stefan, she hit me!" she wailed, clinging onto him."Why is it you again, Millie?" Stefan frowned as he stared at her with a complicated gaze.He remembered Millie as a gentle, soft-spoken woman—a timid little lamb who needed his love and protection. But now, she was like a fierce tigress with claws bared.He knew what type of woman he preferred, yet seeing this side of Millie stirred something within him. It irked him that he

    Stefan watched Millie's retreating figure with an ambivalent expression. He pondered on how she was willing to lower her pride for Pierce's sake. His hands silently clenched into fists as anger smoldered in his chest.Meanwhile, Millie had returned to the room where the women were. Though they had tidied themselves up, the scene was still chaotic. Felicity had a visible handprint on her face, and Wanda was pitifully clutching her stomach."What now? Are you here to beat us up again?" one of the women whimpered. They all trembled as they huddled together."No… I'm sorry for being impulsive earlier. I shouldn't have acted so recklessly. Felicity, I hope you can overlook my behavior and forgive me," Millie calmly spoke up.The room fell silent. None of them had expected Millie to back down so quickly."A-Are you being serious?" Felicity stammered, her voice shaking."Yes. I was wrong to lash out at you. I didn't consider the consequences. So, I'm sorry," Millie sincerely said w

    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

    Pierce had appeared right behind Millie without her noticing.She turned around and looked at him. "Pierce…"Just as she spoke his name, he leaned down and kissed hers. His large hand gripped her slender waist, pinning her against the wall. He slid one leg between her legs to hold her in place. It was also to prevent her from struggling and interrupting the kiss.The oxygen in Millie's chest was completely taken away. He kissed her like a desperate and parched traveler lost in the desert, greedily drinking in the sweetness of her mouth.Millie felt dizzy and overwhelmed, and her body nearly caved in.Pierce became even bolder. He lifted the hem of her dress with one hand and slipped underneath it. He effortlessly reached beneath her bra and grabbed the soft part of her. Then, he teasingly pinched her sensitive peak, causing her to feel tiny jolts of electricity throughout her entire body.This sensation made Millie regain her senses. Her eyes widened, and she used all her strengt

    Felicity wanted to ruin Millie's beautiful face so that she would lose even her last advantage. At that moment, she was driven by her overwhelming anger toward Millie.She held the blade close to Millie's cheek as she said threateningly, "There's still time to beg me!""You'd better think this through, Mrs. Searle. I'm a public figure too. I'm an international designer. So, anything I say carries some weight. If you ruin my face because you think you can fall back on your family's power to escape the law, I'll fight you to the death!" Millie warned. She then added, "Also, I have another identity—I'm Pierce's ex-wife. If you dare to cut my face, I'll make sure the Searle family kicks you out!"Millie raised her head and looked at Felicity with unwavering defiance. She wasn't just some nameless nobody. She had a prominent identity, though perhaps it seemed insignificant compared to these high-society elite ladies. But that didn't mean she was completely powerless.She was a renowne

    Millie put on light makeup to cover the exhaustion on her face. Her complexion looked slightly better with some blush and a little lipstick on. She then changed into clothes that were appropriate for the occasion and headed to the hotel. Isla had given her the number to a private room and said she would meet her there.Millie was about to reach Isla's room when the door to a nearby private room flew open unexpectedly. Felicity walked out. She had come to dine with her friends. Running into her right now felt like a cruel twist of fate for Millie. Felicity had been the first client to cancel her order, and she hadn't bothered to keep her as a client. Now that they had bad blood, Millie couldn't even be bothered to greet her and turned to leave. However, Felicity blocked her path."Well, if it isn't Mrs. Atkinson?" Felicity said mockingly.Someone interjected, "That's not right, Mrs. Searle. She's the former Mrs. Atkinson.""Oh, I nearly forgot. You're divorced now, so you don'

    Millie knew that Pierce wouldn't kick her while she was down. She also knew that his gaze held no deeper meaning.She understood all of that.Yet, standing there in her disheveled state, her mind spun with thoughts she couldn't control.Next to him, Charlotte Cole seemed to notice something unusual in Pierce's demeanor. He had stopped walking, and his body stiffened as his deep gaze lingered in a certain spot in the distance.Charlotte followed his line of sight and eventually spotted Millie. "Do you know her, Pierce?" she asked in Cazarian.Millie overheard Charlotte's words and was surprised at how close they seemed."I don't know her," Pierce said indifferently. His voice was cold as he turned his gaze away, walking forward with long strides while holding Charlotte's hand.Without sparing Millie another glance, he led his entourage out of sight.Millie fought back the bitterness welling up inside her. She had asked for the divorce, and now she'd gotten what she wanted. There
