"Then let the media take a good look. They'll see your vanity and greed for the Leach family's fortune and how I kicked you out after I saw through your ugly lies. Who knows whose side they'll take then?" Stefan interrupted her sharply.It was true that giving Wanda nothing made the Leach family look bad and could invite criticism.But Stefan didn't care anymore. He had been humiliated so many times before. Something this minuscule hardly mattered now.Besides, the thought of giving Wanda money and letting her squander it to live a comfortable life was more unbearable to him than anything else."What happened to you, Stefan? You weren't like this before," Wanda lamented pitifully."I forgot to tell you that I've forgotten everything about us. I only know what others have told me. So, your usual tricks won't work on me anymore!""So that's what happened…" Wanda felt a small sense of relief at his words.If it was just temporary memory loss, everything could go back to the way it w

"Why aren't you saying anything? Was the battle really brutal and you lost some men? Are you grieving now?" Millie made guesses while gently stroking his back in an attempt to comfort him.She wondered if that would make him feel better."Pierce? Can you say something, please? You're scaring me…"It was too quiet. Even his breathing was hard to detect.Although she was holding him, she couldn't feel his warmth. "Pierce, please talk to me. What's going on? What's wrong?"Still, Pierce didn't say a single word.Panic surged through her, and she quickly pushed him away. Suddenly, Pierce changed drastically. His face turned deathly pale, and his entire body was soaking wet. His fingers seemed to be swollen—as if they'd been submerged in water for too long. Drops of water slid from his fingertips and dripped down to the floor.Millie's gaze traveled down to his chest, where there were three gaping bullet wounds. They bled profusely, soaking his shirt.Pierce stared at her with lif

"Let me drive you home," Tobias offered.On the way, Millie couldn't shake her unease. Why had that dream felt so vivid?"Tobias, have you heard any news about Pierce?" She couldn't help but ask."No, Millie. Don't worry. Pierce will surely be fine," Tobias comforted."Alright," Millie replied absentmindedly, too distracted to notice the slight tremble in Tobias' voice.When she returned to the villa, she didn't go to her room to rest. Instead, she headed to the study. Her workspace was there, right next to Pierce's desk, in the spot with the best lighting and view.Half of the bookshelf was filled with her fashion magazines. Whenever she was tired, she liked curling up on the chaise lounge to read.Their first time had been here, too.Knowing it was her first time, Pierce had bizarrely refused to let anyone clean the carpet. Instead, he had carefully cut out that section, preserved it in a box, and stored it as a keepsake.Millie had been mortified but didn't bother scolding

When Millie heard those words, her blood went cold. "W-What did you just s-say?" she stammered, struggling to get the words out."I'm no good at all. Don't love me anymore.""You're the one who made me fall for you! You're the one who insisted on keeping me by your side! And now you're telling me not to love you? Pierce, you bastard! You're an absolute bastard!"If I get together with someone else, I won't ever think of you again!""Mills…" Pierce sounded panicked. He called out her name as if trying to stop her.A flicker of hope ignited in Millie's heart. Pierce wouldn't let her go just like that. He had fought so hard to get to her, so he wouldn't give up now.To her surprise, his shoulders suddenly slumped as he let out a heavy sigh. "That's for the best."He uttered those four words in despair. Millie's body went stiff, and all color drained from her face.In an instant, the figure before her disappeared.Millie opened her eyes, realizing she had been dreaming again. Sh

"Alright. We'll do as you wish. I'll have the doctor come to the villa to treat you," Tobias said.Millie returned to the villa in silence. She didn't say a word the entire way. She was unnervingly quiet, and Tobias couldn't help but worry. If Pierce saw her like this, he would surely be heartbroken.Tobias sighed and wondered where he was.When Millie arrived at the villa, she was surprised to find that she couldn't even get inside. Pierce's parents and Samantha were there. Millie's belongings had been thrown onto the ground in a mess. Her clothes were strewn everywhere, and they were covered in footprints. They had clearly been trampled on countless times.Tobias' anger flared immediately. "Who allowed any of you to do this? Have you lost your minds?""It was me." Samantha stepped out, her gaze filled with resentment as she glared at Millie.If it weren't for her, Samantha wouldn't have been sent out of the country. She wouldn't have missed seeing Pierce one last time. To her

Millie picked up her phone and dialed 911. "Hello, officer? There are intruders in my house, and things got violent. Please send someone over to handle this."After reporting the incident, she turned to Samantha. "You've trespassed into someone else's house. I'd shown mercy by merely giving you a few slaps. I'll check my belongings later. If anything is missing, I'll press charges for theft.""Are you out of your mind?" Melissa screeched. Then, she fumed righteously, "This is my son's house. I'm his mother. I have every right to be here. All of you are hired by Pierce, so who do you answer to?"The maids spoke in unison. "Mr. Atkinson, of course." "And who did he instruct you to listen to in his absence?""Madam Millie…" one of the maids replied hesitantly."I'll be the one paying your salaries from now on. Get these people out of here immediately!" Melissa ordered.Millie had no intention of trying to stay on good terms with them. Everyone knew about Pierce's strained relati

Millie got up and opened the door. "What is it?""Why the hostility?" Donald queried."I don't like anyone who Pierce doesn't like," she replied flatly."And how do you know he doesn't like us? Every family has its own skeletons in the closet. Nothing is ever absolute."Donald sat down at Pierce's desk—the very spot Millie had just occupied a moment ago.Millie frowned slightly. She had been sitting there simply because she missed Pierce. But Donald sat there as though it were a seat of authority.Folding his hands in front of him, he said, "My son liked you very much and left you quite a lot. Don't worry, the Atkinson family won't try to take it back."His words made Millie realize that he thought of her as the kind of woman who married for money."I admire your courage from earlier, so I'll give you a friendly piece of advice—cut ties with Pierce. This time, he offended many people. The Atkinson family will publicly sever all ties with him and select a new successor to the co

"This is the rest of Pierce's assets. Apart from what he'd given to you before, there's also this. He asked me to manage it over the years. These are his private assets, so it has nothing to do with the Atkinson family," Tobias informed solemnly."Please leave. I'd like to be alone for a while," Millie murmured.Tobias nodded in understanding and left the room.The room was simple. There was only a bed and a desk in it. In silence, Millie began opening the letters one by one, starting with the first one Pierce had ever written.He had served in the force for eight years. By the age of 20, he was already the most outstanding student at the police academy and had been assigned an overseas mission before even graduating.He had started writing to her in his first year of service.Some missions lasted only a month, while others spanned up to two years. Each mission, whether short or long, was incredibly dangerous. Pierce rarely had any time to rest, let alone time for himself.He'd

Millie swiftly took some photos and handed the phone back to the guy."The photos you took look great, miss," one of them couldn't help but praise."Thanks for the compliment," Millie said with a smile.That person was so mesmerized that they stood there in a daze, unsure of what to do. Even when Millie had already walked away, he still hadn't snapped out of it."What's wrong? Do you like her?"Nathaniel Yates finally came to his senses. "N-No. Cut the nonsense. I just appreciate her photography skills."Meanwhile, Millie had gone over to sit by the water and noticed some fish in the lake. It reminded her of the last time she went fishing with Piercy. She was so lost in thought and didn't even notice that Nathaniel was secretly taking a photo of her from behind.He was using an instant camera, so the photo developed quickly.As Nathaniel stepped forward, Millie suddenly heard the noise behind her. She immediately turned around and saw an unfamiliar man, which startled her.

Millie quietly left the room so that Pierce could bid his gun a proper farewell. Then, she went downstairs for breakfast. However, breakfast felt tasteless.Pierce went downstairs after half an hour.Though he didn't have work that day, he dressed in formal attire to make the handover look more proper.The gun was wrapped in a paper bag. He casually set it aside as if nothing was wrong and began eating breakfast."It tastes delicious, you should try some," he casually uttered, serving Millie some food.Millie saw through Pierce's act but chose not to say anything.After that, Pierce remained silent the entire way to the CBP. The atmosphere in the car was heavy.Soon, they arrived at the police station, and Jason came out."Pierce…" Jason whispered, his voice slightly choked. He knew what it meant for Pierce to return the gun this time.Pierce looked at Jason's uniform and couldn't help but give him a firm pat on the shoulder. "Do your best. I have high hopes for you."Jas

Millie had once loved Stefan wholeheartedly, leaving herself no way out. But now, her love for Pierce was only six or seven on a scale of ten. She kept reminding herself that she shouldn't give anyone the chance to hurt her deeply again.Millie had even planned her retreat. If they broke up, she would be the one to walk away the most effortlessly.Once bitten, twice shy.Millie was well aware of her problems. Both she and Pierce had their fair share of flaws, and nobody was perfect. That was human nature."Pierce, you're way too extreme," Millie said."I know," Pierce answered.The most terrifying part was that he knew his flaws too well, yet he had no desire or intention to change.Pierce had suffered for his whole life. As an illegitimate child of the Atkinson family, he'd lost his mother at birth, and his father never loved him. The only place he ever felt a sense of belonging was with his grandfather. He was inherently a cold and unfeeling person, and the first time he bec

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
