Chapter 550

Author: Feminine Blade
Piercy felt extremely annoyed. Even though Millie had been staying in her room and never once came out, he felt unsettled staying in the villa.

Everywhere he turned, he was surrounded by her presence. It was everywhere, suffocating him, making him restless.

Frustrated, he decided to escape to the office for some peace. Still, he gave strict orders to the villa staff to keep a close watch on Millie. If she went missing, they would suffer the consequences.

Tobias noticed that Pierce had been staying at the company overnight and couldn't help but ask, "Did you have a fight with Millie again?"

"Yeah." Piercy's response was sullen.

"Want to talk about it? Maybe I can give you some advice?"

"No," Piercy dismissively replied.

Tobias seemed to be amused.

If Piercy told him about what had happened, he would no doubt make fun of him. So, there was no way Piercy would tell Tobias about his troubles.

Besides, it wasn't like he could afford to tell him either. He would only risk blowing h

    Sprawled on the bed, Millie didn't even bother mustering the energy to argue with Piercy."Get up and doll yourself up. Then, come with me to meet a client.""Hmm?" Millie frowned and sat up to curiously stare at him.He wanted to take her out? Seriously?"This client truly is annoying. He insists that I bring along my family. Why else do you think I'm taking you with me? If I weren't worried about Tobias accidentally revealing something, and this contract weren't so important to Atkinson Group, I wouldn't have bothered with you."Millie's heart began to race. As long as she got to go out and breathe some fresh air, she didn't care about anything else.After all, only by going out would she get the chance to escape. There was nothing she could do if she were locked up here."Alright, let me change my clothes," she replied.Millie's eyes were noticeably brighter than before—a stark contrast to her earlier dead-inside look. Upon seeing her becoming more lively, Piercy breathed

    "You're cursing me in your head, aren't you?" Piercy stared at Millie intently, as though he could read her mind."Yes, I'm cursing you in my head, you damn psycho! Technically speaking, you're mentally ill. Should I harden my heart and send you to a mental asylum?""Millie, Pierce can hear everything you say, you know? Aren't you worried about hurting him with those words?"Millie's heart trembled slightly at the revelation, and she stared at Piercy in shock.In an instant, she lost interest in the food in front of her. "That's not what I meant."A chilling burst of laughter escaped Piercy's lips."So, you won't call Pierce crazy to his face, but you have no such qualms when it comes to me. You only care about his feelings but not mine, is that it?" Piercy's lips curved into a self-deprecating smile, with a hint of coldness seeping through.Millie calmly set down her cutlery. "What would you have me do? Treat you like how I do Pierce? Right now, you're nothing but a stranger

    A while later, Millie regained her composure. She was still alive because Piercy had stopped choking her.Piercy stared down at the disheveled woman. His thin lips parted as though he wanted to say something, but the words were lodged in his throat and refused to leave.He wanted to tell Millie that it wasn't Pierce who'd stopped him—it was he himself who truly couldn't bring himself to kill her.While Piercy indeed love Millie, that didn't happen right from the moment he was born. Rather, it took time.But on the contrary, Piercy was born because of her, and the instant he opened his eyes, he had already fallen in love with her.He had come to be during that kidnapping incident. Pierce had already accumulated enough negative emotions that left him with a terrifyingly sinister air, and that led to Piercy forming. However, Millie's appearance was like a ray of light pinning Piercy down, preventing him from truly emerging.And so, he waited for the right opportunity to come around.

    There were certain things Piercy couldn't let Tobias do as Pierce would find out once he woke up, so he had to get someone else to do it.After calling a certain number, he transferred some money before grimly ordering, "I want you to kill Sarah.""Understood."Just as the person acknowledged the order and was about to hang up, Piercy stopped him."Wait!" After a moment of hesitation, he added, "Give her some money and tell her to get lost. She's never to return to this country. Otherwise, if I see her again, I'll really kill her."In the end, he didn't choose to end Sarah's life. It wasn't that he was showing her mercy, it was simply that Millie didn't like it when he killed.He could live like a normal person and obey the laws, but Milie didn't believe he could.Now, he was choosing to leave, but that didn't mean he would make things easy for Pierce.He hadn't actually slept with Sarah, but who else knew the truth except the two of them?Millie was the sort of woman who coul

    At last, Piercy couldn't take it anymore. He grabbed his phone and sent his location before texting, "I want you to sneak into the water right now and put a huge 40-pound fish on my hook! You're dead if Millie discovers you."Thankfully, the river was deep enough that an adult could swim in it unnoticed.A man hurried over as quickly as he could and stopped upstream. After putting on an oxygen mask, he slipped into the river and began to slowly swim downstream.All this had taken a considerable amount of time and effort, so Piercy remained empty-handed for the next hour. Meanwhile, Millie's bucket was already full. After losing interest in fishing, she started preparing lunch.They had brought enough food, plus she didn't know how to gut and clean fish, so she could only take them back home."Forget it if you can't catch any fish. It's time to eat," she told Piercy."Wait! I have a feeling I'm about to catch a big one." Piercy refused to give up. At that moment, he felt a tug o

    Was Millie answering his question? Or was it something she said subconsciously in her sleep?Either way, those words brought Piercy immense comfort. If she would think of him, then he could die without regret. Piercy continued to watch Millie nap, unable to get enough of her.Time passed by slowly, and Piercy wished he could freeze this moment forever.Millie slept until 4:00 pm. Those past few hours had been the most peaceful time they had spent together thus far.That evening, they had fish stew. Piercy had already arranged for someone to come and get the fish and make the stew. The food was then delivered to where they were.As the sun set, Millie held the bowl in her hands and sipped the flavorful fish stew. A warm sensation spread through her stomach, making her feel completely at ease.She had been on edge for so long. Now that she was far from the hustle and bustle of the city, even her soul felt a little lighter.How wonderful it would be if the one sharing this moment

    "Alright, I'll do it." Millie acquiesced after some deliberation.She forced herself to suppress the aversion in her heart and closed her eyes. Then, she placed a light kiss on Piercy's lips. It was just a fleeting peck that was light as a feather and nothing more.This was the best she could do."I have no regrets dying at your hands," Piercy declared.Of course, those words were a blatant lie. How could he have no regrets? He was just deluding himself. Wracked with despair and pain, he closed his eyes. Then, a glistening drop of tear slipped from the corner of his eye.It took him a long time before he slowly opened them again.Millie watched him nervously and expectantly. Just then, his deep-set eyes opened and locked onto hers. They were filled with a love so overwhelming yet restrained that it felt boundless.Millie could no longer hold back. Tears freely rolled down her cheeks as she sobbed uncontrollably.Pierce used all his strength to pull her into a tight embrace.

    That night, Millie locked herself in her room. She had always longed for Pierce to come back, but now that he was really back, she felt lost and unsure of how to face him.Although it was Piercy who did all those outrageous things, it was still Pierce's body. She felt troubled about the possibility that Pierce had slept with another woman. After all, she and Pierce were still married, but his body had been with someone else.If they had already broken up, it wouldn't have mattered how many people he had slept with. However, this unfortunate incident had happened during their marriage.She knew it wasn't Pierce's fault and that she shouldn't take it out on him, but she couldn't get past it herself. So, she decided to find Pierce to talk things over.Before she went over, she had already packed her bags.When she came out of the master bedroom, she saw Pierce standing at the door. She had no idea how long he had been waiting there."Mills." Pierce's expression was complicated. Hi

    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

    Samantha looked at Stefan in disbelief. "You still have feelings for Millie… Is that what you're saying?""What else? Do you expect me to have feelings for you? As long as you stay in your place, I won't make things too difficult for you. But don't overestimate yourself," Stefan sternly warned."You… You weren't like this before! I'll abort this child and make you regret it for the rest of your life! I'll really do it—try me!" Samantha cried.Stefan didn't bother mincing his words. "Do you think you can threaten me? There are plenty of women who want to have my child. Who do you think you are? If you don't give birth, Wanda will probably be thrilled. "The Atkinson family doesn't want you anymore. So, you're no longer some rich heiress. You're just Betty Miller now. If you leave me, who else can you rely on?"Ever since Samantha got pregnant, Stefan's goal had already been achieved. He didn't even care about his own child. He was happy to let Samantha and Wanda fight to the death,

    For the next two days, Millie still didn't see Pierce.During that time, she continued visiting the hospital every other day to check on Stefan's condition. There were signs of improvement, but because of the sulfuric acid burns and the severity of the wounds, recovery would not be a quick process.Since they didn't have much to talk about, Millie simply read to him to help pass the time."I'll come back the day after tomorrow," she softly said, setting the book down.Stefan nodded, unsure whether he should keep holding on or let her go for good.Just as Millie reached the door, he couldn't help but call out to her again, "Do you regret it?""Regret what?" Millie turned back to look at him."Regret… being with me."Millie replied, "I do. But people don't have the ability to see the future. So, some mistakes are worth experiencing because at the very least, they teach us lessons. "I've learned to approach love with more clarity now. I will love myself first before loving any

    Stefan said, "I'll take good care of myself…" Then, he suddenly started coughing. At this point, he couldn't tell whether the pain in his body was worse or if his heart hurt more.Millie panicked. If Stefan's condition worsened, how would she explain things to Agnes? So, she quickly got Stefan a glass of water and helped him take a sip. Only then did he finally manage to catch his breath.Millie felt completely useless sitting there. No matter what they talked about, it felt inappropriate. Her presence might even be making things harder for him."How about I turn on the TV for you? It'll help pass the time." Millie suggested."You don't need to do anything. Just stay here with me quietly," Stefan said."Alright then." So, Millie picked up a book and began reading to him.Her voice was as sweet as a songbird's. However, Stefan couldn't focus on anything she was reading—the only thing he saw was her delicate face.Time ticked by slowly.Meanwhile, Pierce stood outside the
