Millie believed that she had to take it slow because getting this clam to open up would take patience.Pierce's face turned ghastly pale as if Millie had just exposed every dark secret he had kept hidden. Her tone was full of disdain, and her sharp gaze felt like daggers.Pierce could deduce the decision she'd made. After all, someone as complicated and difficult as him would be way too exhausting to deal with.Pierce had no idea who he could confide in. He wanted to tell Millie all about himself, as she was the one person in this world he trusted unconditionally. She was also the one he was willing to give everything to.But how could a man say such things? It would sound too sentimental—and worse, it would make him seem like a complete lunatic."Alright, I understand," Pierce muttered, lowering his head. His voice was heavy with resignation.Millie was caught off guard. "You understand? Understand what?""Leave. I won't blame you," he softly said."You still have the nerve to

"Ten years old," Pierce said, forcing himself to endure the shame as he uttered those three words.Millie's eyes widened. Pierce was five years older than her, which meant that she had been five at the time he had developed feelings for her."How is that possible? We were just kids. How could you have feelings for me that young?""You've forgotten, but I haven't. Samantha and I were kidnapped, and you were there too," he explained."Me?" Millie was stunned.Pierce began to recount the story. Millie's mind became a confused mess as fragmented memories surfaced—a boy covered in blood, his eyes cold yet resolute.Millie couldn't recall anything else other than that. Emily had told her that she'd been a mischievous child who had once fallen and hit her head. That must have happened during the incident Pierce mentioned."The police coordinated with you to raid the abandoned factory. When the kidnappers realized that you were working with the police, they were furious and tried

Millie had never been able to afford Emily's medical treatment and had constantly worried that the hospital would demand payment. Thankfully, the hospital never pressed them for money. She had assumed it was simply a debt she would have to settle later.When Stefan stepped in to help, she paid the hospital bill in full, believing her luck had turned. It never occurred to her that Pierce had been silently assisting her all along.At that time, she did have fleeting suspicions, but the chaos in her life left her no room to dwell on them. Once Stefan entered the picture, she dismissed the matter entirely and attributed it all to sheer good luck.Millie thought that she'd gotten lucky and that perhaps the Jordan family just wasn't meant to end so tragically."What else have you done? Tell me everything. I want to know," Millie demanded, her gaze unwavering as she stared at Pierce.She had always been the one left behind. Before her younger brother was born, her parents had loved her d

"You said you'd forgive me," Pierce muttered. His confidence was deflating, and he looked kind of pitiful.Millie's anger flared again. How dare he act like the wronged victim now?"Fine, let's hear it. What kind of tricks did you pull? I'm doubtful about you managing to manipulate Stefan to such an extent," Millie remarked, her tone skeptical.Pierce recounted, "Wanda's first husband came from an affluent family. His parents were capable and kept him in line. But after the couple passed away, he revealed his true nature. He drunk, gambled, and hit Wanda at home, causing her life to become unbearable."All I did was accelerate the collapse of that household. I arranged for someone to lend him high-interest loans and encouraged him to gamble even more recklessly. I also rigged the odds so that he lost far more than he won. It didn't take long for him to squander everything."Eventually, with no money to repay his debts, he set his eyes on Wanda. I sent someone to subtly suggest t

"Is there anything else besides this?" Millie asked.Pierce thought for a moment. "I've also sent people to investigate you in secret so I could keep an eye on your daily activities. But I didn't intervene in anything too private—I just wanted to know where you went and what you did."I think that's all I did. I'll let you know if anything else comes to mind. "Millie laughed out of frustration. This was already far too much. How could she handle it if there was anything more?She'd seen Pierce's paranoia before. But it wasn't until now that she realized she'd barely scratched the surface. He'd concealed himself far too well. If it wasn't for the influence she had on him in the past, he might've long since went astray. In fact, he would've turned into a complete villain. He wouldn't have fought for justice for the people. Instead, he'd have become complicit with them.He was definitely capable of doing something like that. Even the glory of the Atkinson family meant nothing to h

Was death the best relief to Pierce? Just like this time, he was determined to risk it all just to take his enemies down with him.It was glaringly obvious how deeply he cared for Millie. But despite the ache in his heart, he still managed to joke about it so casually.This stubborn man. Couldn't he understand that a woman's heart can be easily moved if he showed a little vulnerability? He was so stubborn, especially when it came to his words!…Millie stayed by Pierce's side and looked after him in the military hospital.Pierce was so severely injured that he couldn't even get out of bed for the first few days.Millie saw the festering wound—it was a terrifying and gruesome sight.Back then, she'd retched at the sight. Later on, she noticed that Pierce would secretly change his dressings without her. He always made up excuses to get her out whenever his wound needed to be tended to.Once, Millie had left her phone in the room while she went downstairs to get the medicine.

"Grandpa, what's the deal with Pierce being an illegitimate child?" Millie couldn't help but ask.Bill asked back with a chuckle, "Haven't you asked Pierce about this?""He hasn't brought it up, and it feels awkward for me to ask.""Then why are you asking me?""I want to know.""Pierce should tell you about this himself. It's not the same if you hear it from someone else."Millie felt defeated upon hearing this. She lowered her head and ranted, "Grandpa, don't you know him? He keeps everything bottled up. He's too good at hiding things. He'll just keep everything to himself and try to make peace with it on his own."It's fine if he can really do that, but the truth is he's just exhausting and tormenting himself mentally. Who knows how long it'll take before he comes around and tells me about this." Millie pouted after getting that off her chest. From her expression, her frustration was evident.It had already taken her half a year just to pry open Pierce's mouth and learn ev

The first thing Pierce did when he woke up was to get busy with work. He didn't even stop for a moment to rest. If Millie hadn't given strict orders for him to rest, he would have worked himself into exhaustion.Pierce could argue with anyone, but the moment he was up against Millie, he gave in immediately.Tobias couldn't help but tease, "You're amazing, Millie. I told Pierce to take a break before handling things, but he wouldn't listen. My words don't carry half the weight yours do."Upon hearing this, Pierce shot him a glare. In the past, Tobias would have immediately backed down. But with Millie present now, he seemed emboldened."Millie, you need to give Pierce a good talking to. He's so stubborn! I heard that back in the team, he always volunteered for the most dangerous missions. While others hesitated, he charged in like a madman." Tobias saw his chance to speak and took it."Why are you so talkative today?" Pierce's tone grew colder.Tobias decided that he'd said enough

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

Samantha looked at Stefan in disbelief. "You still have feelings for Millie… Is that what you're saying?""What else? Do you expect me to have feelings for you? As long as you stay in your place, I won't make things too difficult for you. But don't overestimate yourself," Stefan sternly warned."You… You weren't like this before! I'll abort this child and make you regret it for the rest of your life! I'll really do it—try me!" Samantha cried.Stefan didn't bother mincing his words. "Do you think you can threaten me? There are plenty of women who want to have my child. Who do you think you are? If you don't give birth, Wanda will probably be thrilled. "The Atkinson family doesn't want you anymore. So, you're no longer some rich heiress. You're just Betty Miller now. If you leave me, who else can you rely on?"Ever since Samantha got pregnant, Stefan's goal had already been achieved. He didn't even care about his own child. He was happy to let Samantha and Wanda fight to the death,

For the next two days, Millie still didn't see Pierce.During that time, she continued visiting the hospital every other day to check on Stefan's condition. There were signs of improvement, but because of the sulfuric acid burns and the severity of the wounds, recovery would not be a quick process.Since they didn't have much to talk about, Millie simply read to him to help pass the time."I'll come back the day after tomorrow," she softly said, setting the book down.Stefan nodded, unsure whether he should keep holding on or let her go for good.Just as Millie reached the door, he couldn't help but call out to her again, "Do you regret it?""Regret what?" Millie turned back to look at him."Regret… being with me."Millie replied, "I do. But people don't have the ability to see the future. So, some mistakes are worth experiencing because at the very least, they teach us lessons. "I've learned to approach love with more clarity now. I will love myself first before loving any

Stefan said, "I'll take good care of myself…" Then, he suddenly started coughing. At this point, he couldn't tell whether the pain in his body was worse or if his heart hurt more.Millie panicked. If Stefan's condition worsened, how would she explain things to Agnes? So, she quickly got Stefan a glass of water and helped him take a sip. Only then did he finally manage to catch his breath.Millie felt completely useless sitting there. No matter what they talked about, it felt inappropriate. Her presence might even be making things harder for him."How about I turn on the TV for you? It'll help pass the time." Millie suggested."You don't need to do anything. Just stay here with me quietly," Stefan said."Alright then." So, Millie picked up a book and began reading to him.Her voice was as sweet as a songbird's. However, Stefan couldn't focus on anything she was reading—the only thing he saw was her delicate face.Time ticked by slowly.Meanwhile, Pierce stood outside the
