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

"Oh, you want to know? That's my secret base. Once you give me a child, I'll take you there," Pierce said with a strange glimmer in his eyes.Millie was caught off guard by the mention of having a child. She felt her ears heat up immediately. What kind of outrageous words were those?"Keep dreaming. I'm not interested in your secret base," Millie quickly retorted. "Rest well. I'm going to the kitchen to check if your meal is ready yet," Millie hastily said and practically fled the room.Pierce watched her retreating figure, lost in thought.…Pierce stayed home for another half a month before he could finally walk on his own. His wound had begun to heal, with fresh pink skin growing over it. The doctor then came to remove the stitches. While the injury was essentially healed, Pierce was advised to avoid strenuous activities and continue recuperating.It was hard to believe that in just over a month, Pierce was almost back to normal. He was energetic and acted as if he hadn'

Millie nodded in confusion, and Pierce kissed her even harder. He then began to remove her clothes as his hand continued moving downward.At first, Millie enjoyed the intimacy, but her body slowly tensed up without her knowing why.Slowly, the fear she'd felt on the ship that day crept back in.She had been insulted, humiliated, and tied up like an animal. Her eyes had been blindfolded, and due to the loss of sight, every touch was amplified.That large hand had roamed all over her skin, using her to ease his loneliness.At the time, she had been Stefan's girlfriend and was forced into being intimate with someone else.The trauma of the event had even made her think about taking her own life.Suddenly, the fear surged to its peak."No!" Millie yelled. She suddenly turned pale, her body breaking out in a cold sweat. Out of nowhere, she found the strength to slap Pierce hard.Her hand throbbed in pain, and her fingers trembled. Her palm was now swollen and red from the force

Pierce was in the middle of explaining something when Millie's other hand gently touched his cheek."Does it hurt? I'm sorry… I didn't mean to be so rough," Millie said.Pierce reached out and gently held her hand. He opened his mouth, wanting to ask her if being with him was exhausting. He knew he was a complicated and contradictory person, and Millie had to overcome her fears to be with him. Was it a torment for her deep down? But Pierce didn't dare to ask. What if voicing it made Millie confront the question and she decided that couldn't stay with him anymore? He couldn't bear the consequences of losing Millie. He'd kept her in his heart for so long—far too long to simply let her go. Millie's heart skipped a beat as she caught the conflicted look in Pierce's eyes.What was he thinking about right now?"Pierce, you can tell me what's on your mind. Don't bottle everything up, okay?" Millie said."Okay."And then, they both fell silent.Millie felt a bit helpless.

Millie hadn't expected Wanda to be here as well. The fact that Wanda and Stefan had reconciled within a month surprised her. Rachel was insistent on Millie staying for dinner and refused to let her leave. So, Millie had no choice but to agree, partly because she was worried about Agnes. She got out of the car, and Rachel hooked her arm around her's, treating her like family. However, the two didn't go inside immediately. Rachel, clearly bursting with things to say, seemed eager to vent."You have no idea how much I can't stand Stefan's wife! She drives me crazy. Do you know why she came over today?""Why?" "She's here to ask me for a secret recipe to help her get pregnant. I wasn't in good health in my younger years, so I sought treatment from an alternative medicine doctor. We were family-planning at the time, and I wanted to make sure I'd have a boy. Lucky for me, it worked, and I had a son. "Wanda, after her miscarriage, is desperate to get pregnant again—and with a

"Weren't you asking for a remedy for getting pregnant? Why is it about improving your health now?" Rachel deliberately asked despite knowing what was going on.Wanda's face briefly flushed and turned pale."I'll go check on Mom. You two have a good chat and talk it out. After all, we're family. You don't have to hold anything back." Rachel excused herself, leaving Millie and Wanda alone in the living room.All the while, Millie remained calm. In contrast, Wanda felt diffident and restless.She began, "Millie, don't you know you should be mindful and avoid close contact with anything or anyone related to Stefan? This is his grandma's house. Why do you keep showing up around here? You claim you have no feelings for him, but look at yourself! You'd do whatever that draws his attention!"You pretend to be magnanimous, but you're in fact, the pettiest among us all! You know you can't take him from me, so you're trying to upset us on purpose, aren't you?"Millie wanted to laugh at su

Millie shot Stefan a cold glare. "You've wrongfully already accused me once. Are you going to do it a second time?"Stefan had been about to say something, but her words left him speechless. His retort got stuck in his throat.Wanda angrily pointed at Millie and screeched, "This time, it's obvious you pushed me on purpose!""Don't you know why I pushed you? My phone is my personal property. Why did you snatch it from me?""You were messaging my husband. You shameless whore!""You heard that, Stefan. She grabbed my phone without my permission to look at our chats. If she wants to check up on you, it's fine because you're her husband. She can check your phone as she likes, but she shouldn't snoop through mine."I have nothing to hide. You know better than anyone whether or not I've ever tried to seduce you!"With that, Millie turned and headed upstairs without sparing Stefan another glance.As she walked past him, Stefan instinctively reached out as though he wanted to grab her h

Wanda met Stefan's gaze, still feeling reluctant to back down. But at that moment, she couldn't find the words to refute him.She was incredibly jealous that Millie got to be with Pierce—that meant that she had secured a better other half than she did. Also, she was displeased by the fact that Leach Group was overshadowed by Atkinson Group.Wanda had yet to see Millie on her knees, begging for mercy. She wanted Millie to admit that she had lost and was inferior to her. She wasn't willing to let it all go. On the surface, she agreed with Stefan. But in her heart, she was already plotting how to deal with Millie.Didn't Millie claim she would never be a mistress? But Pierce and Charlotte were engaged in the eyes of the public now. So, hadn't Millie knowingly become a mistress? If the media caught wind of this, the backlash alone could destroy Millie.…That evening, Millie visited Agnes and stayed for dinner at Robin's residence. Pierce had originally planned to attend a busin

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
