"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

Anyone could laugh and mock Stefan, except for one person—Wanda.He had sacrificed so much to be with her—so much so that he'd been reduced to nothing but a living joke to others. But in the end, all he got was ridicule and mockery from her. What others had said about Wanda didn't matter. But now, she owned up to every despicable thing she'd ever done. Upon realizing that he had betrayed Millie's love for such a wicked woman, Stefan found himself absolutely laughable. "You should just die!" Stefan growled with unbridled hostility, ready to kill.His reaction caused Mark to get anxious. If Stefan killed someone with so many onlookers around, he'd be sentenced to imprisonment. So, Mark quickly walked over to stop him.Stefan angrily clenched his teeth. He couldn't go to prison. After all, he was the only one left to run Leach Group. With this in mind, he slowly let go of Wanda.Having just escaped death, not only was Wanda unafraid, but she even continued laughing like a

"Mills, what's wrong?" Pierce asked."Don't come any closer. Stay away… Go away…" Millie replied.Yet, Pierce still moved closer. To Millie, his face resembled that of a bloody pulp now. She was starting to hallucinate.Terrified, Millie frantically flailed her arms although her injuries were not fully healed. The overwhelming fear had dulled her sense of pain."Mills, it's me. Please look closer. It's me," Pierce slowly said.Gradually, Millie came back to her senses. She wasn't in the castle. There was no blood on the ground nor corpses scattered about. When her vision cleared, Millie finally saw Pierce for who he was, and a wave of anguish swept over her.She threw herself into his arms, tightly holding onto him. She trembled as tears slowly soaked his shirt, and she buried her face into his chest.She sobbed. "Pierce… Pierce, I killed so many people. I killed them… What should I do? My hands are covered in blood, and I can't ever wash it off."They deserved to die.

Millie had used to live a life of privilege. The worst thing she had probably ever encountered was a hooligan whistling at her or having her purse stolen by a pickpocket.The biggest scare she'd faced was probably being drugged and kidnapped, but she had never seen such gruesome sights as that night. And yet, for Pierce, the hands meant for sketching designs had now taken up a gun without hesitation to fight off enemies.Deep down, Pierce was wracked with guilt.He pulled Millie out from under the bed and tightly held her. "It's just fireworks.""Fireworks?" Millie murmured, dazed as she sank onto the bed.But then, another burst of fireworks sounded from a distance, prompting her to hide again. She flinched violently, instinctively trying to hide, but Pierce firmly held on to her shoulders, keeping her in place."Don't hide," he said in a hoarse voice. His reddened eyes stared at her, filled with anguish. His guilt was unbearable.Millied sobbed and said, "But… But I'm scared

During this period, no one was allowed to disturb Millie or the psychiatrist.The psychologist had also prescribed mild sedatives to assist with the hypnosis. After taking it, Millie felt light-headed.She couldn't explain the sensation that followed. At times, she thought she could hear the rhythmic crashing sounds of waves or the soothing hums of a religious chant. Sometimes, it was a child's playful laughter, and other times the calming patter of raindrops.Millie felt lost in a surreal haze. She had no concept of time and did not know if hours or days had passed. Eventually, the darkness swallowed her whole and she drifted into a deep sleep. "Doctor! She's been unconscious for two days. Why hasn't she woken up?" Pierce questioned the psychiatrist.Pierce sat by Millie's bedside, tightly holding her hand. He was worried sick."Everyone reacts differently to hypnosis," the psychiatrist calmly explained. "Lethargy is a common response. It's normal for most people to sleep for t

"Mills…" Pierce felt his heart completely melt. Millie's way of proving herself moved him beyond words. Overcome with emotion, Pierce leaned closer and deepened the kiss.After a while, he reluctantly let go of her lips while holding her face. "Did you really… Or have you not… "Forgotten me. But before he could say these words, Millie lightly shook her head. She vaguely remembered being hypnotized but wasn't sure what she had forgotten.Her head felt heavy and foggy. But one thing was certain—her heart raced uncontrollably when she opened her eyes and saw this man before her.Pierce was over the moon when he heard this. If Millie's ribs had healed completely, he might've lifted her and spun her around."It worked, didn't it?" Pierce said."I don't know… All I remember is the chaos in the castle. I passed out, and when I woke up, I found out you'd broken my ribs, and I was hospitalized with serious injuries.""That's enough… " Pierce said, satisfied beyond measure.He ha

But now, with rumors spreading about Pierce's death, Donald was pushing for his branch of the family to succeed the group.The candidate for succession was a boy of Pierce's generation.

"Lowell Atkinson is his illegitimate son. He's my brother from another mother!"At the next moment, Bill got so mad that he sprung to his feet. He had a strong urge to run after Donald and demand an explanation. However, he was held back by his good sense and sank back down on the couch in dejection. "H-How many people are aware of this?" In truth, Bill just wanted to know if Melissa was aware of this."Mom doesn't know about this, Grandpa. With that said, I don't mind making a fuss and telling everyone about it if he oversteps his boundaries."Bill pursed his lips. He wanted to say something, but he eventually held his tongue back. He shut his eyes and said in a dispirited tone, "Forget it. This is all bad karma. It was my fault for doing what I did back then."Melissa had had feelings for someone else all those years ago, but no one in the family supported her love life. Donald was the only heir to the Atkinson family. Meanwhile, Bill had made too many enemies in his life, an

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
