I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 521
Millie estimated that the old woman paid around 30 thousand dollars. A mere 30 thousand dollars was enough to buy a woman, trap her in the mountains, and use her as a reproductive machine!Millie felt a chill run down her spine when she thought about this. In that instant, she finally understood why Pierce would never ever remove his uniform and resign from his position—crime never ends. After that, Millie was placed on a cart and pushed away. From the room she was locked in, she overheard the old woman remind his son to clean himself up well. After all, tonight would be the night of his consummation. The man chuckled. He was gleeful. Soon after, the woman entered the room with a bowl in her hands. Millie was cautious. "What are you guys trying to feed me? Let me go. As long as you let me go, I can give you a lot of money." The woman shook her head before saying, "We don't want money. All we want is to give my son, James Cooke, a bride. This is all to continue the bloo

"James, are you okay?" The old woman rushed in. "Hurry, take James to the hospital! Lock her up and bolt the door. Make sure she can't get out. When we get back, we'll starve her and beat her until she learns her lesson. That's what everyone has gone through to behave here! Let's go to the hospital first."The old woman was extremely anxious. After all, a trip to the hospital would incur additional expenses for them.Unwilling to let go of his anger, the man—James—gave Millie another brutal kick before he locked the door and left.Millie was in so much pain that cold sweat trickled down her face. She curled up in the corner as she felt a wave of relief knowing that the old woman and James had left. For now, she was safe.Millie thought about ending her life so she could keep her chastity. However, she couldn't bring herself to accept that she would never be able to witness justice being served to the culprits if she died.Death was an easy way out for her; the real challenge w

Millie was powerless to stop Stefan. The only thing she could do was to stay alert. There was no room for errors."Ugh…" Millie felt pain as blood continuously dripped from the corners of her mouth.Now, Stefan had finally calmed down. As if coming to a realization, he grabbed Millie's chin and forced her mouth open.Blood overflowed from her mouth."What were you trying to do?" Stefan asked, alarmed by the bloody sight. "Did you want to bite your own tongue off to end your life? Do you know how painful that would be?""Stefan… I can't stop you, but I won't be able to live with myself if I get violated by you. Pierce will avenge me for what you've done."If she'd been assaulted by James, Millie believed that she would still have the courage to keep living. But if it was Stefan who assaulted her, her life would become a living nightmare. When she thought about having to live with that trauma for the rest of her life—death would be the more merciful option."You'd rather die tha

Stefan's hand was trembling as he picked up his phone to call Pierce, intending to tell him which hospital Millie was in. But in the next moment, he decided against it and opted to send a text instead because just hearing Pierce's voice annoyed him to no end.Millie's injuries were not severe, and the wounds were mostly superficial. Proper care of the wounds would be sufficient for complete recovery.However, the drug with the aphrodisiac properties was immensely harmful to the body. It could easily cause an increase in blood flow which would then lead to insufficient oxygen supply, and it could also result in shock or sudden death.Millie was somewhat dehydrated as she'd been sweating profusely. She had been in a deep sleep the entire day. When she wanted to wake up, her eyelids felt unbearably heavy. It was almost impossible to open them."Mills…" She heard a familiar voice by her ear, and someone was tightly holding her hand.Was it Pierce?Millie struggled to open her eyes.

"If you hadn't known about it from the very beginning, you wouldn't have arrived so quickly. Do you know who the culprit is?" Pierce went straight to the point."I do know, but I don't plan on telling you. Because even if you knew who it was, you won't have the heart to actually do anything to that person," Stefan replied.Pierce frowned hard upon hearing this. He could vaguely guess who had been behind this incident, but he didn't dare to think further.At this point, he was clinging onto nothing but a thin sliver of hope.He didn't want to face the reality that Samantha would do such a thing. She was indeed quite willful and unreasonable at times, but as his sister, she wouldn't stoop so low as to collude with the scums of society.He had dedicated his life to capturing criminals. While he didn't dare claim that he could eradicate the dark side of humanity completely, at the very least, he had been working hard to lessen the shadows in this world.But if the person responsible

Millie stayed in the hospital for two days before she could finally be transferred to another one. She felt that she was fine, but Pierce insisted that she needed more time to recover.On the day of her discharge, a police car was parked at the hospital entrance—a police officer had come by to see her off."Thank you for helping our city crack such a major human trafficking case, Pierce. We really appreciate your hard work!" the police officer said."I'm just doing what I should do," Pierce replied.He then bid a simple farewell and was about to leave with Millie when an elderly woman with a head of white hair suddenly rushed out of the police car. It was the old woman who had bought her..She wailed, "I'm sorry! What I did was wrong! Don't take James away. It was all my idea…"Millie instantly took a step back. Merely being touched by her made Millie feel repulsed."What's her situation? Why isn't she locked up like the rest of them?" Millie asked.The police officer explain

Samantha thought that even if Millie was rescued, she might already be pregnant with the child of some lowly man from the countryside by then. At that point, even if Pierce didn't mind it, Millie probably couldn't bring herself to stay by his side.Even if they did find out that she was behind this, Samantha was no longer just a member of the Atkinson family. Besides, what could Pierce possibly do to her when she was now Mrs. Leach?Soon, Tobias came to find her. "Mrs. Leach, Pierce wants to see you.""I'm not going. When I begged him to see me previously, he refused. I'm not going to entertain him now just because he wants to see me. "Leave. I don't want to see you as well," Samantha haughtily said. She put on an act, banking on the fact that Tobias had always been afraid of her and would just helplessly leave.But to her surprise, Tobias reacted differently this time. "If that's the case, then pardon me for being rude."With that, he ordered two bodyguards to forcibly escort

"Are you so angry that you've lost your mind?" Samantha cautiously asked. Pierce had been on the verge of losing his temper just moments ago. Yet, he was suddenly calm and spoke to her in a perfectly even tone.Pierce replied, "No, I'm perfectly clear-headed. Go home, Samantha. You've helped me quite a lot this time. If it weren't for you contacting those people, how else would I have been able to uproot them completely?""R-Really?" Samantha nervously stuttered.Why did it feel like Pierce had become a completely different person?"Leave now. I have other matters to take care of," Pierce dismissively said.Samantha had expected a heated argument with Pierce when she arrived, but everything turned out to be eerily calm in the end. So, she left without hesitation, not daring to linger."Pierce, what are you doing?" Tobias looked at him in confusion."What? Are you wondering why I didn't punish her in some way? What could I do? Cut ties with her? Announce that she's no longer an

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 use…Afterward, 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 late… 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. "Mills… I'm scared…""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 everything—such 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."Millie… Millie…" 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 something—her 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 on…He 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 criminals… They're planning to strike again. I agreed to help them," Stefan said."Why are you telling me this?" Pierce responded."She said… She said that if you died, she wouldn't live either." Stefan's voice was
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 650
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? Pierce…" After a moment of silence, Millie mumbled, "I forgot… 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 rhythmic—he was no longer in a critical condition."Pierce…" 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.…Days passed one after another.One
