Chapter 627

Penulis: Feminine Blade
"Is your back injury fully healed?" Millie asked when she saw Stefan.

"You should divorce Pierce." Stefan got straight to the point, leaving Millie completely bewildered.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I will never divorce him."

"I just received news that many people from Solandra want Pierce dead. Multiple factions have joined forces, and they've even hired an S-rank assassin from the black market to eliminate him."

"What?" Millie shot up from her seat, her heart pounding. "Does Pierce know about this?"

"He doesn't."

Stefan had blocked all information from reaching Arbelton. With his current influence, he could hide this from Pierce for at least three days. And in those three days, the assassins would already be on the move.

By the time Pierce found out, he wouldn't have enough time to counter such a well-planned attack even if he made last-minute preparations.

"I must tell him about this!" Millie turned to leave immediately, but right as she was about to take another

    Stefan did not stop her again, and Millie left without looking back.Just as she was about to go downstairs, Stefan's voice echoed from above, "If you agree to get back with me and stay by my side, I'll step in and save him."Millie halted her steps as a chill ran down her spine. She hadn't expected Stefan to make such a demand."In your dreams!" she defiantly yelled back."This time, Pierce is facing certain death. It's fine if you don't believe me. You can die with him. Or the two of you can both live—it's up to you," Stefan responded.Millie's expression grew complicated. She couldn't bear to see Pierce die, but she couldn't agree to get back with Stefan either. She no longer loved him, nor could she even be bothered to hate him anymore.They couldn't be lovers, nor could they be friends or enemies.Stefan's footsteps drew closer, each one heavy and oppressive in the silent house. Each echo of his footstep weighed heavily on Millie's heart."Pierce is in grave danger. Yo

    The bullet grazed past his ear, instantly splattering blood everywhere. But this outcome was already the best possible one. It was still far better than taking a bullet to the head.Within a split second, the scene turned chaotic, and screams filled the air as people panicked.When Millie saw the moment the blood sprayed out everywhere, her heart tightly clenched.Tobias then quickly arranged for Pierce to get into the car. But instead of boarding his usual vehicle, Pierce chose another one from the back.Halfway through, the car that he was originally supposed to ride in suddenly exploded. The unlucky driver was killed on the spot, while Pierce narrowly escaped yet another assassination attempt.The footage was very nerve-wracking to watch. If not for Pierce's keen instincts, he might have already died multiple times.Later on, even the police sent some officers to protect him. Fearing that widespread panic would break out among the public, the authorities prohibited any media

  • I'm Out of Your League Now   Chapter 1

    Millie Jordan was about to experience what a woman would go through if she were abducted by a group of perverted kidnappers.A dark cloth was tied over her eyes and her mouth was taped shut. She shivered in a corner like a frightened animal. Her body was littered with cuts and bruises all over. The rope around her neck was only less than three feet long. If she moved any further forward, the rope would tighten around her neck, making her unable to breathe.She'd tried struggling many times before, but she always ended up breathless and blue in the face. Her voice was hoarse, and her throat hurt. She simply couldn't get away.She could hear the abductors angrily cursing at her outside the door. They had tried forcing themselves on her just now, but she fought back and bit one of them harshly in the throat. She'd bitten him so hard that his laryngeal bone nearly broke and she nearly killed him.That was the reason why she was beaten half to death and tied up in a corner like this.

    Verdier Club was a place Stefan often frequented to drink and hang out with his friends. Millie's conscience told her that the abductor had been lying to her, so she shouldn't be believing what he said. However, she just couldn't stop herself from coming over to have a look for herself.She had been with Stefan for three years and knew the private room he was often in. She rushed there at once."You lost, Ste! So, truth, or dare?""Truth.""Alright then. Who is the woman you love the most?""How's that even a question? Of course, it's Wanda.""Ooh!"Everyone in the private room started to laugh and riot.Millie stood outside the door, her face turning more pale with every second. Her legs felt like lead, and her hand hung mechanically in the air. She couldn't bring herself to knock on the door.A while later, the people in the room seemed to have played another round of "Truth or Dare", and the "Wanda" from before seemed to have lost."You lost, Wanda! So, truth, or dare?"

    Pierce extended his hand toward Millie. His fingers were long and slender, and he had a large palm.Millie was frozen in place when she heard his voice again. She was shocked. However, the drunk man rushed up to them just then. Still under the influence of alcohol, he yelled, "Are you fucking blind? Did you not see me standing there? I'm going to skin you…"Pierce said nothing. He handed the umbrella over to Millie and grabbed the drunk man, forcing his arms behind his back.Then, he pulled out his phone and called someone. A while later, the police officers from the nearby station showed up."This man harassed a young woman on the street. He should be a repeat offender. Take him back to the station as a fair warning to him.""Alright, we'll take care of him," the police officers said politely before taking the drunk man away.Millie should have grabbed the opportunity to run while Pierce was busy talking to the police. However, her legs refused to budge. She was still rooted t

    Pierce was on the phone with someone and didn't notice Millie coming out."Alright, I'll go shopping with you this weekend. I'm driving now, so I'm hanging up. Okay, I'll do whatever you say."Pierce gave off the impression that he was a tough guy who spoke his mind in an assertive way. However, he was now speaking gently into the phone with a ghost of a smile on his lips. Suddenly, he didn't look too intimidating anymore.He was most probably talking to someone he liked on the phone. Since he used to work with the law, he upheld it and didn't drive while talking on the phone.Millie looked like she'd just seen her savior. She hurriedly knocked on the driver's door.Pierce frowned and rolled the windows down. "What?" His voice was tinted with suspicion."I'm hanging up now. Something just came up. You can do whatever you want to me next time."Pierce seemed like he was trying to pacify the other person on the line before he hung up. Then, he stayed inside the car while looking a

    Millie was shocked. She hurriedly called for the nurses at once.Bill had just been eating a second ago, but now, he was being wheeled into the emergency ward. Meanwhile, the sanatorium also hurriedly called Bill's relatives to inform them of the matter.Millie waited anxiously outside the ward. About an hour later, someone arrived in a hurry."Officer Atkinson?""What are you doing here?"Pierce frowned when he saw Millie. Bianca hurriedly explained, "She's a regular volunteer here, and Bill loves her the most. He's been complaining of shallow breathing lately and often wakes up in the middle of the night. We never thought his condition would suddenly relapse…"Pierce didn't bother chatting with Millie and continued asking about his grandfather's condition instead. It was only then that Millie finally learned of Bill's full name—Bill Atkinson.Bill was later wheeled into the operating theater for an emergency operation. He was only wheeled out four hours later.By the time B

    Upon hearing that, Wanda glared at her friend before taking Millie's hand with enthusiasm. "Ms. Jordan, you must be here to give me your blessing, right? I knew you weren't a petty woman. I would rather receive your blessing than the blessings of hundreds of others. Only your blessing will make me happy."Wanda's eyes sparkled innocently. What a fake bitch!Millie snapped, "Don't put words into my mouth. I'm here for lunch. I had no idea Stefan would be here."She was about to leave, but Wanda grabbed her arm and wouldn't let go. Wanda even shed a few tears in sadness. She lamented, "You still refuse to forgive me, right? I know I wronged you, and I'm willing to do anything to make it up to you. How about I go down on my knees?"Before Millie could speak, Wanda shakily went on her knees while sobbing, which attracted the attention of customers at the restroom.Infuriated, Wanda's friends went up to help her up from the ground.One of them yelped, "Why did you get down on your k

    That night, Pierce was not as aggressive as usual. Instead, he was gentle and affectionate as he merged their bodies together.Millie had grown used to being carried to the bathroom afterward, where Pierce would help her clean up and wash away the traces of their passion. Millie was also accustomed to Pierce tenderly drying her hair, running his fingers through each strand until it was completely dry.She was used to the way he always held her tightly afterward, with his warm chest pressed against her back."Say, why do you think I haven't gotten pregnant yet?" Millie murmured."There's no rush," Pierce reassured her.Millie then suggested, "How about you get yourself checked too? We should determine if there's any issue with you too. If something's wrong, we'll fix it.""Alright. I'll do whatever you say," Pierce replied.Millie was exhausted and quickly fell into a deep sleep. But Pierce couldn't sleep at all. In a very low voice, he whispered so softly that his voice was

    "Let her go, and you can do whatever you want to me tonight. Okay?" Millie forced herself to say those shameless words, ignoring the heat of embarrassment that scorched her face.Pierce's footsteps paused slightly as he carried Millie back to the bedroom. His breathing became somewhat uneven too. Millie was his greatest weakness. He clenched his jaws, and his lips pressed into a taut line. Millie couldn't tell if he agreed or not. Pierce then placed her on the bed, then turned and left. Millie had no idea what that meant. If even she couldn't rein Pierce in, she dreaded to think what he might become if left unchecked.Later on, Pierce returned after washing up. Then, he lay perfectly still beside Millie to the point where it seemed as if he had fallen asleep.Millie hesitated for a moment before reaching out in the darkness and groping around. But before she could move further, a strong hand suddenly gripped her wrist."This trick won't work," Pierce said."Really? Because

    "Mills, I can't promise you that. I finally found her. I need to know the truth," Pierce firmly stated."And what if she refuses to speak?" Millie asked."I have my ways to make her talk," Pierce coldly said."Pierce! I—" Millie wanted to say more, but Pierce cut her off. "I will handle this. I promise that I won't kill her.""But—""Tobias, take Millie home."Tobias hesitated. He knew Pierce wasn't himself anymore. Bringing Millie here had been the right move, but deep down, he feared it wasn't enough.In the end, Millie was forcibly led away. As she was pulled out of the room, she shouted in Sarah's direction, "Piercy was wrong, Sarah. Don't be stubborn!"With that, Millie was taken back to the villa. Yet, she couldn't sit still. She had no idea what Pierce was going to do.Minutes turned into hours, and night fell. Pierce still hadn't come home.At that moment, Millie curled up on the couch. She didn't even have the appetite to eat dinner. After a long wait, exhaus

  • I'm Out of Your League Now   Chapter 623

    Millie's gaze was sharp. "Did he tell you about his connection to Pierce?"Whether Piercy had slept with Sarah or not no longer mattered. What mattered was whether or not Sarah knew the truth. If she knew nothing, she would only assume that Pierce was mentally unstable. But if Piercy had confided in her, then she had a dangerous secret in her hands.Sarah gleefully said, "Why, he has split personality disorder, doesn't he? Who would have thought that the CEO of Atkinson Group is actually a lunatic—"Before Sarah could finish speaking, Millie coldly cut her off. "If you say one more word, I will knock out all your teeth!""But I'm just stating the truth. What's this? I can't even say what's—""Shut her up. Slap her until she knows her place," Millie icily ordered.Just like that, Tobias instructed his men to go forward and slap Sarah hard. They struck her across the face over and over.Sarah screamed in pain. "I'm sorry! I won't say anything! I'll stay quiet!"Her face swelled

    "What do you want in return for telling me this?" Stefan shrewdly asked."Marry me and make me Mrs. Leach." Wanda still refused to give up on her fantasies.Stefan coldly scoffed. "Like hell I'd do that."Wanda didn't look particularly hurt. "Then give me a large sum of money and send me abroad. I promise never to interfere in your life again."Still, Stefan didn't release her just yet. Until he verified the truth, Wanda wasn't going anywhere. If she was telling the truth, she might have one last chance to live. So, Stefan ordered his people to keep Wanda under strict watch and launched a full investigation into the events from three years ago. Even though so much time had passed, he was determined to uncover the truth.…Millie heard about Wanda's "death" sometime later. She felt a little surprised that Wanda had gone insane and soon died from her illness. But since Wanda was dead, there was no point in holding onto old grudges anymore.From that point on, things settled do

    "What did you mean by that message? If my parents' deaths weren't an accident, then who killed them?" Stefan anxiously demanded.Wanda bargained, saying, "If you find a way to get me out of here, I'll tell you. Otherwise, you'll spend your whole life in the dark like a fool while the person who murdered your parents is still out there. "You never avenged your parents. What a pathetic son you are.""Do you really think I don't know what you're up to? You're trying to trick me into helping you get out of here," Stefan said with a scoff.At this point, he was just half-convinced. He suspected that Wanda was only saying this as a ploy to get out of prison.Wanda simply smirked. "You can choose not to believe me."With that, she hung up the phone and turned away.Stefan's heart pounded violently. He couldn't afford to let this go since it concerned his parents. If Wanda was lying, he would make her suffer horribly once she was out. But if she was telling the truth, then she had on
