Millie always had trouble sleeping. She lay in bed, tossing and turning.When she suddenly heard the gunshot, her heart tightly clenched.Were they finally here? Millie thought she might never get the chance to see them take action.Right now, she wasn't scared at all. If anything, she was exhilarated.She took out a gun from under her pillow. This used to be Pierce's gun. They had unexpectedly found it soaked in seawater and left behind on a nearly submerged speedboat.That was the speedboat that Pierce had been on before he died. It must have slipped from his hand when he fell into the sea.Now, the gun had been repaired and could function normally. Jacob had given her special permission to use it for self-defense too.Millie gently caressed the gun. She was using the same gun as Pierce. This gun was not just for protecting herself but also for eliminating their enemies. As long as she could take down one of them, it would be worth it!Just then, Tobias' voice came from the

Millie quickly turned on the lights because she knew that turning them off would give away her position. However, with her vision obstructed, it would also be difficult for her to shoot accurately.She retreated into the bathroom and guarded the doorway. It was a position where she could hold off numerous people on her own. Before she ran out of bullets, she would take down as many people as she could.Just then, the door was kicked open—someone had found their way here.Millie noticed that he was still aimlessly searching in the room, so she took the opportunity and fired a shot.Unfortunately, she missed, and the bullet struck his right hand instead."Damn it! You're here!" The man turned toward the bathroom, his eyes were filled with fury. He ignored the excruciating pain in his hand and fired multiple shots into the bathroom.Millie was terrified and promptly hid behind the door.Meanwhile, the man's footsteps grew closer.Millie didn't dare to show herself, so she grabbed

However, the pain never came. Instead, the man's face twisted in agony. Then, he collapsed to the ground before he could even utter a single cry and convulsed to his death.Millie froze and wondered if Tobias had brought reinforcements. The situation over there should've been chaotic too.Just then, the sound of footsteps echoed again.Millie wasn't sure whether it was an enemy or an ally.For some reason, her heart began pounding as tension gripped her.Finally, a figure appeared in her sight. With the flames outside and the thick smoke filling the air, it was hard for her to see the person's face clearly.He seemed to be wearing white, but his chest was stained crimson. She couldn't tell whose blood it was.His hair was cropped short, and he had a tan face with sharp features. But he limped as he walked, and his steps were uneven.Millie's vision was slightly blurred, so she rubbed her eyes and tried to get a clearer look at him.And then she saw him.Tears suddenly streame

"How's everyone?" Millie asked."Mr. Sommers and I might have gotten off the lightest among everyone." Tobias felt a bit embarrassed. His shooting skills weren't that great, so he had been the one needing protection. Thinking about it made him feel even more ashamed."What about the others?""Five of our people died, 11 were severely injured, and the rest had minor injuries."Upon hearing this, Millie's heart felt heavy. She said, "Make sure the families of those people are properly compensated, but not under the name of compensation. Find other ways and various forms to provide support. Otherwise, those smugglers might seek revenge and trace their families through this. "Our good intentions could backfire and end up harming them instead.""Don't worry, I will," Tobias responded.Compensating the families was a difficult matter. It might be easier if it were for the families of regular police officers, but in cases involving anti-narcotics and anti-smuggling officers, even if c

"Don't worry, my skin will heal, and I'll be fairer in no time. Don't you think I still look pretty great?" Pierce chuckled and said."Don't kid yourself. You look hideous." Millie continued crying even as she cracked a joke. "Come here and give me a hug," she said. She couldn't initiate a hug, so Pierce had to hug her. Pierce slowly and gently embraced her, careful not to cause her any pain. "Seriously, why did you come for me? Look what you've gotten yourself into!" "Shut up!" Millie was dying of embarrassment. She couldn't believe that his broken ribs, the most severe of his injuries, were caused by himself. This was beyond embarrassing. "Mr. Sommers praised you and said you handled the situation better than a cop. You stayed calm in such a dangerous situation, and you were a hero. He said it's a pity you didn't become a police officer. He wanted to recruit you but procedures wouldn't allow it," Pierce said."But he didn't save you in time, and I can't help but blame him

"That fool… He could've sat on a chair. Why is he just standing there like a bodyguard?" Millie worriedly said.How could she possibly fall asleep? All she could think about was what she would do if Pierce decided to stay in this line of work.She feared that she didn't have the courage to relive this horrific experience for the second time. At this moment, she started questioning their relationship again.If it were any other man, they couldn't love her the way Pierce did, nor could they match his greatness. However, they could at least give her a sense of security.But what about Pierce? Just the thought of him brought her to tears.Time passed, yet Pierce still foolishly stood outside her door. Millie couldn't bear it any longer, so she let him in.Although there was light in the hallway and the room was bright, it couldn't dispel the shadow that loomed over him. Pierce simply stood there, his eyes resembling those of a child who had done something wrong and was at a loss.

Millie gazed deeply back at Pierce, her eyes brimming with affection.Stefan parted his lips, intending to say something. However, he couldn't say a word when he looked at them. He feared that even if Pierce lost everything, Millie would remain by his side for a lifetime, whether in life or death. He believed that Millie was merely seeking revenge on him. Hence, she chose Pierce—someone who surpassed him in every aspect just to spite him. But looking at it now, he was utterly wrong.They had lived together for three years. How had he not seen through her?She'd never cared for wealth or fame, nor did she seek power. From the beginning to the end, she'd only wanted a lifetime together with the one she loved. If he hadn't betrayed her, he could have lived happily ever after with her.Stefan silently left. Neither Millie nor Pierce noticed his departure.After that, Stefan got into his car. Mark noticed his dazed state and couldn't help but call out to him. But Stefan simply

"I… I would…" Wanda stammered. Yet, her eyes flickered and diffidently darted around."Do you even believe yourself?" Stefan sneered.Then, he roughly let go of her face and took out a piece of wet tissue to wipe his fingers down like he'd just touched something dirty.Wanda fell to the ground. She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palm and drew blood. But in the next moment, she got up and haughtily smoothed her brittle hair."So, you've finally come to your senses, Stefan," she said with a scoff. Since she wouldn't get anything out of this, she thought there was no longer any need to pretend anymore.She continued, "I thought you'd continue to be blind for the rest of your life. But then, I'd managed to fool you for so many years. I think I did pretty well. To be honest, I did love you before. But after my parents killed themselves and my family went bankrupt, love became absolutely worthless to me."I wanted to marry you and live a financially stable li

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
