Millie immediately went to see the best psychiatrist in town."Don't be nervous. Please sit down, and let's have a chat," said the psychiatrist, Bruce Renner. He looked so young that Millie had some doubts about his credentials.The decoration in this place did not make it look like a clinic. Rather, it lookedmore like a cozy little home, and there was no pungent smell of disinfectant either.Bruce asked Millie what she wanted to drink—there was coffee, tea, and even latte.Millie felt nervous, so she ordered a latte.Bruce then brought her the latte and smiled at her. "So, what issues are you having?""I think I have Stockholm Syndrome. I know full well that he's not a good guy, but I can't control my own feelings. I care about him… I'm smitten with him," Millie replied."What did he do to you? Was it psychological or physical abuse?"Millie pressed her lips together. She was not sure if she should tell Bruce everything. But he was a psychiatrist. Logically, she should be

Just then, there was movement outside, and the ship violently shook.Millie was stunned and quickly realized that Pierce had brought his men onto the ship.She hurried to the decks and saw Pierce in his uniform for the first time. He had a buzzcut, his eyes were sharp like an eagle's, and he moved with amazing agility. He led the charge with explosive momentum, clearly fighting as if he had no regard for his own life. She saw bullets graze his face a few times. One tiny slip-up would end him with a headshot.Each time, he narrowly evaded danger by staying close behind others.The men stormed the ship and quickly captured everyone. Meanwhile, Pierce started to look for hostages and eventually only found Millie. Without hesitation, he took off his coat and covered her exposed body. Deep down, Millie knew that the effects of the pills were about to kick in.Pierce was about to leave while carrying her in her arms, but he noticed something off about Millie and brought her ba

"That's impossible! I must be having some psychological issues," Millie said."Ms. Jordan, you are unwilling to communicate with me. Are you worried about something? Is it because you don't trust me, or is it something else?" Bruce questioned."It's…" Because of Pierce's special status—if his wrongdoings were exposed, he would likely end up in jail.Deep down, Millie could not get over the incident, but she also understood that Pierce had saved her. In the dream earlier, she was the one who had desperately begged him to take her. When she thought about this, she felt deeply ashamed. "Ms. Jordan, since you have your own reasons, then I won't ask any further. But since you're here to see a psychiatrist, you should trust me."Go home and get some rest. After you've thought things through, you can come here again." Bruce was gentle and pleasant the entire time, showing no signs of anger. At Millie's insistent request, he prescribed her some sleeping pills to help with her sleep

Pierce agreed to let Millie leave before he had fully tasted her. He had to do it while he could still restrain his emotions, before he lost his conscience and went mad."Millie, you've gotten what you wanted. Are you satisfied now? See you at the courthouse tomorrow." After saying that, Pierce turned and left. He dared not linger for even a moment, afraid that he might regret it.Meanwhile, Millie felt completely dazed. She didn't expect things to progress so fast.Pierce had finally agreed to a divorce. She could stop falling deeper in love and finally have control over her own emotions. But why? Why did it feel like her heart was being pricked by countless tiny needles? An incessant and subtle pain ate at her from within."Ms. Jordan, I think you're perfectly normal."For some reason, Bruce's words kept echoing in her mind.Millie was normal. She wasn't sick. The only explanation was that she had fallen in love with Pierce. She had fallen in love with him without knowing th

"If it were me, I'd bind her or lock her up. I'd do anything as long as she stays by my side."Pierce, you're always so hesitant. Every time you have a chance to have her, you always hesitate because of how timid and fearful you are. You keep letting her drift further away from you! "Pierce, you have no control over anything. You deserve it…"Pierce felt a splitting headache, and his gaze suddenly turned fierce. "Shut up!" he roared.After a long while, he finally calmed down and rubbed his throbbing temples. "Millie, this time, I'll give you your freedom. No one can harm you, including myself."Pierce lay on the bed. He could feel the lingering traces of Millie's presence from the blanket that she had used and the pillow that she had slept on.Whether from not sleeping well the previous night, or because this room gave him peace, Pierce unexpectedly fell asleep.In his dream, he returned to the place where he had once been trapped.He and Samantha had been kidnapped. He tri

The sniper was positioned on the tree. If the kidnappers tried to harm the girl outside the factory, the sniper would immediately take them out to ensure her safety. But no one knew how things would go once she got into the factory. The little girl smeared some mud on her face and took away valuable items from Pierce. She folded her school uniform neatly, then hesitated for a moment before draping it over Pierce.She then turned to leave. Unexpectedly, Pierce reached out and gripped her hand tightly. "Don't go. You'll die…""I won't. The police will protect me. They're really powerful."Pierce really wanted to say that the police weren't all-powerful. It was just that kids were too naive and thought that the police were superheroes who could defeat all the dark forces.He wasn't sure if she was scared. But based on her shaking legs and faltering steps, she should be. Yet, she moved forward bravely and even turned around to smile at him."When I get back, I'll buy you straw

Julian was worried about Millie since she hadn't come to the fashion design studio for the past few days. He called her, but she just made up some excuse about needing to rest at home because she was sick.Julian thought about visiting her, but he ultimately changed his mind. After all, he would just end up looking like a fool with Pierce around.Meanwhile, Millie had already moved out of her previous place and moved in with Sharon.As worried as Sharon was about Millie, she didn't ask her anything.It wasn't until Millie showed no signs of leaving after living there for a few days did Sharon finally ask, "Did you have a big fight with Pierce this time? I mean, you've been here for so long. When are you going back? Hasn't Pierce come to beg you to go back yet? "If you ask me, you should give him a proper scolding—""It wasn't a fight this time," Millie interrupted before Sharon could continue."Glad to hear that. But why aren't you going back then? Is he away on a business tr

Millie frowned.Immediately, her phone rang again. This time, it was Sharon.Millie picked up her phone and accepted the call."Bad news, Millie. Pierce has made an official announcement about his engagement."Millie's mind went blank. It was only a week ago that she and Pierce had gotten divorced, and now he was announcing his engagement? Wasn't that a bit too fast?"When did this happen?" Millie asked."Just now. Before he flew abroad. It's a marriage alliance with the Cole family who lives abroad. The news is all over the place. The press managed to take some photos of him getting on the plane.""It must be fake news…""No, it's not. The foreign media has already made it public that the Cole family's daughter is engaged to Pierce. I'll send you the summary link. Take a look for yourself. It's hard to explain over the phone."Sharon then sent a compiled collection of the interactions between Pierce and Charlotte Cole. The two had met at a party abroad, and their families

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

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
