I'm Out of Your League Now   Chapter 506
Before long, Samantha retrieved her social security card and met up with Stefan. Both of them then quickly got their marriage certificate. "When will you make an official announcement about us, Ste?""Right now. The bigger, the better, too. I can't let you feel sorry for yourself now. Can I, honey?" Stefan's grin deepened. Samantha didn't notice anything. All she knew was that she was very pleased with his response. "You're going to the Atkinson residence with me tonight then. I want to show you off to them!""Great," Stefan simply replied.Soon, Leach Group released the news that they were forming an alliance through marriage with Atkinson Group. The entire nation was shook when the news was made known to the public. Two of the most prestigious families had just joined forces, and it was terrifying for their competitors. Some of them couldn't help but make remarks about Stefan's marriage. After all, he had just gotten divorced not long ago, and yet he was already marrying S

Samantha was thrilled that she could make Pierce suffer to this extent. She said, "You forced my hand, Pierce. You're the reason all of this happened. I've called Mom and Dad. They know that I'm married to Stefan, and they were very supportive of it. They think that I've the right man. "I'm no longer an heiress to the Atkinson family. Now, I'm Mrs. Leach. You should be happy for me, Pierce. If you can't give me a life of happiness and bliss, then the least you can do is get out of the way, so another man can give it to me." Samantha held Stefan's arm tighter. Stefan hadn't uttered a single word this whole while. As far as he was concerned, he missed out on the lady he loved the most, so it no longer mattered to him who he married now.At the very least, Stefan was aware that Samantha meant to harm Millie, and he could immediately bring Samantha under control as soon as he saw her doing something sinister. This was his way of protecting Millie. Stefan believed that he had mad

"I-I'm going to take a cold shower," Pierce said.He had his needs. Things were different when he had never known what sex felt like, but now that he had had a taste of that mesmerizing and tantalizing sensation, he would've humped Millie crazy every night if he could. Alas, Pierce was too rough with it and hurt Millie last time. She had yet to recover fully from it, and he suddenly received an urgent mission. By the time the dust settled, he hadn't had sex with anyone for three long months. The wait had been too long and torturous. "I can help you in other ways too." Millie couldn't help but offer. After all, she felt heartbroken for him. To her surprise, Pierce turned down the offer. "If we do it that way, you wouldn't get to feel the pleasure. Moreover, it's dirty. I wouldn't want your lips anywhere near it."What the hell did Pierce just say?Millie's face immediately turned hot and red. "I-It's not like we haven't done it before." "We did it because we didn't have a

He had already remarried Millie, and now, all that was left was the wedding ceremony. Yet, Samantha had become the center of attention as the bride-to-be. According to local Arbelton customs, the bride was supposed to leave her parents' home. Only those marrying far away would leave from a hotel. Pierce, caring deeply for his sister, didn't want outsiders to gossip about her and agreed to let Samantha stay at home before the wedding. He didn't mistreat his adopted sister and made sure all the wedding gifts were prepared, giving her the respect she deserved. Meanwhile, Donald and Melissa couldn't make it in time, so as the eldest sister-in-law, Millie took on the role of overseeing everything.Even though she and Samantha didn't get along, a wedding was a once-in-a-lifetime event and couldn't be taken lightly. Otherwise, it could become a lifelong regret. Millie also didn't want to leave room for criticisms involving not handling things properly or treating her sister-in-law
I'm Out of Your League Now   Chapter 510
When the emcee's opening remarks concluded, it was time for the bride to make her grand entrance. Pierce stood at the ready, prepared to escort Samantha down the aisle and hand her over to Stefan. Despite his reluctance, Pierce knew he had to fulfill his sister's wish. After today, she would officially become a member of the Leach family through marriage, and Pierce's role as her brother who raised her for the past two decades would be replaced. With Pierce by her side, Samantha gracefully stepped onto the red carpet. Above them, drones released showers of delicate flower petals. The atmosphere was enchanting, and their fellow guests showered them with blessings.It was like a scene straight out of her dreamsâthe perfect wedding day. In Samantha's dreams, she had taken Pierce's arm, but instead of Pierce walking her down the aisle, they had exchanged vows and become husband and wife. Yet now, Pierce was simply playing the role of a father figure, giving her away for the

Samantha continued to harshly say, "PierceâĶ You'd better not regret this. You abandoned me for a woman, so I will do the same to you too! Because from now on, I'm Mrs. Leach.""You have nothing to do with me anymore," Pierce simply replied.Samantha had hoped to intimidate Pierce, but everything she said was completely useless."I'll be glad if it stays that way," Pierce coldly said and walked away without looking back. This left Samantha momentarily frozen in place. She simply relied entirely on Stefan's support and could hardly remember how she had made it onto the stage. Up on the stage, she stiffened like a doll.After the ceremony on the stage, Samantha had to change into her reception gown. By that time, the guests had already begun moving to their respective tables in the wedding hall."Congratulations!" Everyone cheered for Stefan. Stefan responded to the crowd with a smile before walking toward Pierce and Millie."Shouldn't you be congratulating me too, Pierce?" he

Wanda instinctively straightened her back, unwilling to show any signs of weakness in front of Samantha."I've always thought of you as my best friend, but look at what you've done. You knew that Stefan and I were once married, yet you still went ahead and married him. What does that make me?" Wanda seethed."Oh, so that's what you're talking about? You said it yourself, you were 'once married.' Do you expect Stefan to remain faithful to you forever?" Samantha mocked.She had always looked down on Wanda and even considered it beneath her to be associated with her. It was merely out of formality that she became friends with Wanda. However, deep down, Samantha never thought Wanda deserved to be her friend.Millie didn't deserve to be her friend as well!After all, Samantha was the daughter of the Atkinson family. Her status was unmatched in nobility.Samantha continued, "Since you're divorced, both of you should feel free to remarry as you wish without interfering with each other's

Samantha simply skipped over the previous topic."Of course, you're my wife. Half of the Leach family's rights belong to you too. I'll appoint you as the project manager now," Stefan said. His gentle smile somehow brought comfort to Samantha's previously heavy heart.After finishing his meal, Stefan left.Samantha then scrolled through her phone, finally able to take a glimpse at the messages and updates she had missed in the chaos of the previous night. However, what she saw left her in absolute devastation.Wanda had caused a scene outside the hotel yesterday. The commotion was loud enough to make it to the headlines, with reports claiming Samantha was the mistress who had schemed her way to Stefan during his marriage with Wanda.Stefan's reputation was beyond redemption now. The internet was filled with scathing comments about his personal conduct. Now, even she had become entangled in the drama."Wanda!" Samantha groaned as she gritted her teeth in anger. The next time Wanda

Millie gently closed the box.Suddenly, a single tear slipped down, landing silently on the surface. Only then did Millie realize that she had been crying. She wasn't sure if she was mourning the love she once had or if her tears were for something else entirely.No wonder Pierce had told her to look at it in private. He didn't want to see her shedding tears for another man."It's all in the past. Why send this now?" Millie murmured.She wiped away her tears and picked up her phone. "Tobias, do me a favor. Auction something for me. Donate every last cent of the proceeds to charity. Not a single penny should be kept."She then ended the call and looked at the small box again. At least this way, it would be put to good useâĶAfterward, Millie headed to the study to check on Pierce. He watched her closely, his deep eyes unreadable.Millie pretended not to notice and said, "You keep working. I'm just going to sketch for a while."Pierce pressed his lips together as if he wante

Millie followed Pierce back home. As she stepped into the familiar space that belonged to just the two of them, her heart felt heavy with emotions.It had been two months since she had last been here, yet everything remained unchanged. Even the wardrobe had been stocked with new seasonal outfits.In those two months, Millie had lost a lot of weight. So, Pierce instructed the kitchen to prepare nourishing meals for her. He was determined to bring her back to full health.Pierce remained bedridden for another half month before he could finally use a cane to walk around a bit. His right leg was still severely injured, and every step sent searing pain through his body, making his face go pale and his forehead damp with cold sweat.Millie couldn't bear to watch him suffer and urged him to rest. But Pierce was stubborn and walked until his legs trembled, and he could no longer stand. Only then would he sit down."Does it hurt?" Millie worriedly asked."It doesn't. I just need to pr
I'm Out of Your League Now   Chapter 654
With that, Millie turned around and left without hesitation. But just as she was about to step out of the room, Stefan's voice called out behind her once more, "Millie, I owe you an apology for everything. I never really said it before. It's lateâĶ but at least I'm finally saying it. "Millie, I'm sorry. I was the one in the wrong." Stefan's voice was soft, weakened by his injuries. It sounded as though those few words had drained all the strength from his body.Millie's body stiffened, and her hands were tightly clenched into fists at her sides.Stefan was apologizing at long last.Millie wanted to turn around to see if he was truly sincere or if this was just another one of his manipulations. However, she held herself back. Unimportant people didn't deserve even a second glance.Millie didn't say anything. She didn't say whether she would or would not forgive him. She just walked away.Stefan's face turned even paler. He knew that after everything he had done, he would never

Millie didn't want to see Pierce struggling alone, bottling up all his pain like a wounded lion licking its wounds in solitude.Upon hearing her words, Pierce simply tightened his embrace around her. "MillsâĶ I'm scaredâĶ""I know. I understand," Millie whispered, gently patting his back."I'm afraid I won't be able to lift you anymore, and I'm afraid I won't be able to run or jump. I'm scared I won't be able to fight the bad guys and protect you anymore." Pierce's voice was soft and barely above a whisper. His sorrow was almost imperceptible, but it could be because he still hadn't fully released his emotions.Millie started, "You still have me. If you can't carry me, then don't. If you can't run fast or jump high, then I'll slow down and walk beside you. I can be your crutch and your support for a lifetime, okay?"And listen, Pierce, you may not be able to fight on the front lines anymore, but you're still there in spirit. We can move to the back lines to provide funding and strat

Pierce didn't tell Millie everythingâsuch as the fact that Stefan had initially wanted to kill him. He spared Stefan some dignity, not wanting Millie to hate him forever.Millie stayed in the hospital to care for Pierce for two days when there was finally a change in Stefan's condition.Before he even regained consciousness, he was already calling her name. Robin anxiously rushed in to find Millie, and she hurried over."The patient's wound has gotten infected, leading to complications. We need to start emergency treatment immediately!""How could this have happened? Wasn't he supposed to wake up?" Robin was beside himself with worry."MillieâĶ MillieâĶ" Even in his fevered delirium, Stefan kept murmuring her name.Millie went over to him. His hand, which had been weakly grasping at the air, finally caught hold of somethingâher fingers. He clung to her tightly."I'm here, Stefan," she softly uttered.It was as if her words held some kind of magic, as Stefan immediately calmed d

Every word Pierce spoke was firm and impactful. Each word hammered on Stefan's heart mercilessly.Pierce owned up to his mistakes. But what about him? Could he do the same?All this while, he had been shifting the blame to everyone else. He blamed Pierce for stealing Millie away. Then, he blamed Millie for not forgiving him. He even blamed Wanda for seducing him, and the list went onâĶHe had blamed so many people, holding onto their faults while conveniently brushing aside his own. When it came to himself, he always found a way to justify his actions. He completely ignored that he was the true cause of everything.Stefan's grip on Pierce's collar loosened. He took a few steps back in a daze and stumbled on his own feet, causing him to nearly fall to the ground."Those criminalsâĶ They're planning to strike again. I agreed to help them," Stefan said."Why are you telling me this?" Pierce responded."She saidâĶ She said that if you died, she wouldn't live either." Stefan's voice was

Millie gave Pierce a profound look that contained a myriad of emotions. Pierce could have been selfish and not tell her any of Stefan's good deeds. He could've even stopped her from visiting Stefan. Yet, he didn't do that.After giving Pierce one heavy nod, Millie went over to the adjacent hospital room.Stefan was seriously injured too. His health wasn't as good as Pierce's to begin with, so he still hadn't woken up yet.Robin was in his room, sitting beside him. He kept silently wiping away tears at one side."This is my only nephew. If anything were to happen to him, how would I face his late parents?" Robin mournfully said."Does Grandma know about this?" Millie inquired."I don't have the heart to tell Mom about this. She's old and frail. I don't want her to have a breakdown," Robin replied."I'll keep him company, Robin," Millie said.Robin hesitated for a moment and ultimately nodded. He believed that Stefan would want to see Millie upon waking up. So, Millie staye

"Don't move around. You're still very weak. The doctor said to give you some oatmeal porridge when you wake up. Your digestive system is still quite weak, so you need to eat something that goes down easily."A familiar voice sounded in Millie's ears."G-Grandpa? Why are you here? Where's Pierce? Pierce? PierceâĶ" After a moment of silence, Millie mumbled, "I forgotâĶ Pierce is dead. Not even his body remains.""What nonsense are you speaking, child? Isn't he lying right beside you?" Bill interjected.Millie visibly froze for a second. Then, she whipped her head around to look. As Bill had said, Pierce was indeed right beside her. Layers of gauze were wrapped around his body, and he seemed to be heavily injured. However, his vital signs were steady, and his heartbeat was rhythmicâhe was no longer in a critical condition."PierceâĶ" Millie tumbled out of bed without a care for the pain in her limbs.Bill quickly went over to support her and combined their beds together."H-How is t
I'm Out of Your League Now   Chapter 648
Millie broke down emotionally. She was done with Stefan's constant self-righteous justification. He always blamed everyone else and deemed himself free of any wrongdoing. He acted as if the whole world had wronged him, while he had never wronged anyone.He painted himself as the pitiful and innocent victim, twisting logic to justify everything he did.Millie was done acting her part. She would let things play out however they should. There was no longer anything tying her to this world. If anything happened to Pierce, she wouldn't live either. Just the thought of being imprisoned by Stefan for three years was worse than death.And so, she locked herself in her room and refused to come out. Every day, the housekeepers delivered her meals. She had no appetite but still ate well.Millie also no longer cared whether Stefan had drugged her food or not. If she turned into a mindless lunatic, maybe that would be better than this painful clarity.âĶDays passed one after another.One
