Pierce turned around when he heard the sound. Millie grabbed her chance to check his shoulder area.There wasn't any injury.It was all in her mind.She let out a relieved sigh as she really hoped Pierce wasn't her assaulter. Before long, she panicked again, as she had seen his naked body.She lifted her head stiffly and peered into his eyes. They were shining so brightly and scarily.She was doomed!Her first instinct was to escape, but he beat her to it. He quickly slid on his bathrobe before catching up to her.He grabbed her by the neck and dragged her into the bathroom. "Were you peeping when I showered?"She shook her head. "No, I didn't. Listen to me. This is a misunderstanding. I was sleepwalking. Yes. I have a condition…" Her voice trailed off. She was too embarrassed to keep lying under his scrutiny.Oh, what was she blabbering about? No one would believe in that flimsy excuse!"Did you regret your decision and hoped for some sexy times?" He gripped her waist tigh

"Millie, stop messing around. Pierce keeps his distance from women," Stefan snapped with a frown.In his eyes, Millie would always belong to him."Millie, take a seat by my side. I'll apologize to you for the misunderstanding last time. I have so much to say to you—""Who do you think you are? Stop speaking to me in that disgusting tone when we aren't even close," Millie retorted instantly.Wanda paled and teared up."Wanda, just ignore her. She'll behave once Pierce kicks her out," said Remi Burnett, Stefan's lackey.While speaking, his eyes hardened. Pierce did not stop Millie from taking a seat by his side as if he had given her the seal of approval."Pierce…""Yeah? What?" Pierce replied coldly.Everyone was at a loss for words. Stefan fixed a malicious look at Pierce.Someone suggested, "Let's play some games rather than just drinking."Millie nodded fearlessly. However, she lost in the first round because she rarely played the game.Before Remi announced the dare, Wan

"I wouldn't," Pierce replied.Everyone stared at Millie with amusement. No one noticed that Stefan heaved a sigh of relief, except for Wanda. Her heart dropped.Millie tried to stay composed. Although Pierce humiliated her, he was speaking the truth. Their contract marriage would end after Bill's death. A man as wealthy and distinguished as Pierce would never set eyes on her.Still, she felt humiliated. She lost the next round, maybe because she was distracted or because Pierce deliberately elbowed her.Anyway, she lost the round. Pierce smiled at her. "Ms. Jordan, you're unlucky today. Truth or Dare?""Truth," she cautiously replied as she struggled to gauge his attitude."Did you enjoy the kiss just now?" The look in his eyes deepened. "Do not lie. I was a cop, and no lies go undetected by me."Her heart nearly stopped. Was he trying to put her on the spot? She became sure that he must have deliberately elbowed her so she'd lose the game.Pierce might look unserious, but he w

Pierce studied her with amusement. "Are you sure?""I-I'm sure…" She was tongue-tied.He closed in and placed a hand on the back of her head and another on her waist.Their bodies pressed against each other. She clearly sensed his muscular chest and the warmth that radiated from under his shirt.She held her breath. Her eyes wavered in shock."Looks like I failed to pleasure you because I am not good at kissing. I'll make it up to you." With that, he started kissing her.Her body stiffened, and her mind went blank. She should have shoved him away, but she could not move as though someone had cast a spell on her.Pierce's kissing skills improved like crazy. He no longer caused her pain like before, when he had kissed her aggressively.His damp and warm tongue traced her lips before slithering into her mouth. He even exchanged positions with her, so she could take a breather.It was a long, tender, and heart-fluttering kiss.After what seemed like an eternity, he pulled back

"God knows what's going on in that bastard's mind! Millie, don't waste your time grieving over him. He's not worth it!" Sharon fumed.Millie finally gave up on making sense of Stefan's decision because she could not wrap her head around it.She would be lying to claim that she wasn't heartbroken. After all, she truly loved Stefan.She could not believe that her three years with him were an illusion. She lived like a fool!She wasn't grieving over losing Stefan; she felt sorry that she wasted her true love on a jerk. Ultimately, she felt sorry for herself."Millie, where are you? I'll meet with you.""It's fine. I'm okay. I need… some alone time." Millie cut off Sharon and ended the video call abruptly.Staring at her face in the mirror, she took in her reddened eyes, but she refused to let her tears fall.Dotting away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Millie swallowed hard and put on a determined look. She did not regret offering up her body during the abduction in exc

Millie halted in her tracks. She could behave recklessly if she wanted, but she'd never risk the well-being of her family.How could Stefan threaten her with her family? Since when had he changed into such a vile man?"I can crush your family like they're bugs. All I want is for you to apologize to Wanda. Is that a difficult task?" "Is it that difficult for the two of you to apologize to me?" Millie retorted."Millie—" Stefan seethed in anger in the face of her stubbornness. She was gentle and compliant back when they dated. She always looked at him with light in her eyes, but now, she stared at him coldly as if he were a stranger.Millie was at the door. She could not believe that Stefan refused to let her go. He asked the security to stop her."Get her back here. I want her on her knees!""Stefan, I'm scared…" Wanda whined."Don't be. I'm here."Unable to fight against the security guards, Millie swiftly grabbed the fruit knife from the table. Seeing that, Stefan barked,

Before Millie could react, Pierce had already put down his cutlery and sent the photo to Bill.Soon, Bill responded with a voice message."Very well. It puts my mind at ease to see you two getting along. You need to take better care of Millie. She's too skinny. Make her put on some weight, or people will think you're letting your wife waste away."Millie understood that this was all just an act to reassure Bill. However, Pierce's sudden action could easily lead to misunderstandings."Eat up," Pierce said, resuming placing food on her plate but did not feed her again."Grandpa is right. You're too skinny. If word got out, people would laugh at me for failing to care for my wife. They might think that I'm depriving you of food.""That won't happen. Our marriage is a secret; no one knows I'm your wife," Millie replied without thinking.Pierce's hand paused slightly. Then, he stopped serving her, and the harmonious atmosphere abruptly became tense.Millie didn't know what she had s

"She has the same demeanor and mannerisms... It should be her.""What do you mean, 'should'?" Stefan roared, slamming the table.Jerry's legs finally gave way, and he collapsed to the floor."Maybe... maybe it wasn't her…" he mumbled incoherently.Wanda clutched her chest, looking devastated."Millie, you're implying I framed you. What would I gain from that? Have you seen my injuries? If Stefan had arrived a few minutes later, I might have bled to death."Also, Stefan has already decided to be with me. Why would I risk my life to frame you?""How would I know—"Millie started, but Stefan cut her off with a furious expression, "How much did you pay him to act out this charade with you?"Hearing this, Millie finally understood that no matter how solid her evidence was, Stefan wouldn't believe her. His bias toward Wanda was blatant and unwavering."Stefan, tell her to leave. I don't want to see her. I won't pursue this matter any further. The guilty will get their karma. Stefan

Stefan felt a wave of emotion as he stepped forward to check the young woman's injury. He then fetched the first aid kit and carefully bandaged her wound.When the alcohol touched her cut, she sucked in a sharp breath, wincing from the sting."I'll be more careful," he said, his voice instinctively softening. It was as if he was afraid of startling her.Once he had finished, he finally asked, "What's your name?""Edith Zeller," the woman nervously answered, reciting her name like a rehearsed line."And do you know who I am?""Mr. Hudson told me everything. You're Stefan Leach, the CEO of Leach Group and my benefactor.""How do you plan to repay me?"Edith replied earnestly, "I-I'll do anything you want, Mr. Leach. I can bear you a child. If you don't think I'm worthy enough for that, then I can just stay with you for a few months. I dare not hope for anything else."You gave me so much money and never asked for anything in return. I… I'd feel guilty if I don't do anything for

Stefan rarely went outside.Mark brought work documents to him every day, and all his meetings were held online.Meanwhile, his health was worsening too. The injury on his back still hadn't fully healed, and since he lived alone, he didn't take care of himself properly. Not to mention, he avoided people and refused to step outside.Mark became increasingly worried. He even reached out to Agnes and Robin, but it was useless.Finally, he went to Millie. "Ms. Jordan, please go and see Mr. Leach. He's in terrible condition. Now that Wanda and Samantha are gone, it's like he doesn't know who to hate or fight against anymore. He has nothing to hold on to.""And what makes you think my visit would help?" Millie countered."It definitely would!" Mark insisted.Millie remained unmoved. "He and I have nothing to do with each other anymore. He did this to himself, not me. I have no obligation to be responsible for him.""Ms. Jordan, how can you be so heartless? He's like this because of

Stefan repeated, "You will never have children in this lifetime.""T-Then why did you give me so many fertility supplements? Why did you still sleep with me after you married Samantha? Why—"Wanda's lips trembled violently. She couldn't believe it and desperately searched for any reason to deny the truth. She needed to convince herself that Stefan had to have some feelings for her—even just a little bit. She refused to believe that he had manipulated her all along. It was impossible!Stefan smirked, but the smile never reached his eyes. Instead, it was icy and devoid of any warmth. "I gave you hope so that you'd believe that having a child would secure your place as Mrs. Leach. Otherwise, you wouldn't have gone all out against Samantha. "You were both pawns, but you thought you were so clever.""That's not possible!" Wanda wailed in denial.Stefan went on, "I did love you once, but you destroyed every last bit of that love. Since you don't want my love, then try my hatred inst
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 617
Millie was stunned and unable to speak for a long time. She could hardly believe that the man who had once been so gentle had now become someone who manipulated hearts and lives so effortlessly."Am I a terrible person now?" Stefan's lips curved into a bitter smile."Take care of yourself. That's your business, so I have no right to comment. I'm going to check on Pierce," Millie replied. She had already called Rachel to come and take care of Stefan.Stefan watched as Millie walked away. He knew that from this moment on, they would only grow further apart. There would be no second chances.Nevertheless, he didn't regret it. If he could do it all over again, he still would have made the same choices.…Millie returned to the hospital room and saw Pierce sitting at the bedside. He was staring at Samantha without saying a word.When he heard her footsteps, he finally said, "You're back, Mills. I've already arranged for her funeral.""Where will she be buried?" Millie inquired."Sh

Pierce saw Stefan standing alone outside the operating room with the doors wide open.A feeling of doom crept into his heart."Where is she?" His emotions surged uncontrollably as he grabbed Stefan by the collar."She's inside," Stefan said.The moment Pierce heard that, he strode toward the room. But just as he reached the doorway, Stefan spoke again, saying, "She's already dead."As his words fell, Pierce's steps froze, and his entire body started shaking.Not too far away, Millie heard Stefan's words too. Her chest tightened upon learning of Samantha's departure. They had rushed over as fast as they could. Yet, they still hadn't made it in time.Pierce moved forward with heavy steps.Inside the room, Samantha had already been tidied up. The blood-soaked sheets had been changed, and she was now dressed in her favorite outfit. Ironically, Pierce himself had bought that outfit for her. After she married Stefan, she took it with her and held on to it dearly.As Pierce looked

"Pierce… Pierce…" Samantha murmured weakly in her final moments as her vacant eyes stared up at the blinding ceiling lights. "Do you want to see him?" Stefan asked in a low voice."I… I'm dying. Can he… Can he come and see me one last time?" Her voice was barely a whisper. It was so faint that it was almost inaudible.Stefan couldn't bring himself to refuse her. He immediately called Pierce and told him about Samantha's condition."What did you just say?" Pierce couldn't believe what he was hearing. For a moment, he thought he had misheard."If you come now, you might still get to see her one last time." Stefan deadpanned.Pierce opened his mouth, but no sound came out.Just then, Millie took the phone from him. "We'll be there right away."No matter how deep their grudges had been, what was left to hold onto now that Samantha was on her deathbed? If Pierce didn't see her one last time, he would regret it for the rest of his life.Throughout the entire drive to the hospital,

At that moment, Samantha felt a searing pain in her abdomen. It was so painful that her face paled dramatically, and cold sweat drenched her body."Stefan… Stefan…" Samantha called out for help.Since she was already at the hospital, the medical staff quickly rushed over. A group of onlookers surrounded her too. She frantically scanned the faces around her, but Stefan was nowhere to be seen."It hurts…" She could feel something hot gushing down her legs."Why won't the bleeding stop?" one of the medical staff frantically asked."I have… a blood coagulation… disorder…" Samantha summoned all her remaining strength and managed to utter those words before losing consciousness completely."This is bad! What's her blood type? Where are her family members? Do they know about this?"It was then that Stefan finally arrived. Without hesitation, he provided Samantha's blood type so that the doctors could begin treatment immediately. The doctors immediately made it clear that the baby c

"You… You must be hungry. I'll heat the stew," Wanda said and went to prepare the food.To prevent miscarriage, Samantha had opted to have as little contact with the outside world as possible. She even had her doctor conduct the blood tests for antenatal care within her home.How was Wanda supposed to create the opportunity to get at Samantha now?"Samantha will visit the hospital for her first pregnancy check-up in a few days. I'll be accompanying her," Stefan said. Samantha needed a B-scan ultrasound done to look at the baby. In this way, Stefan intentionally divulged a way for Wanda to cause trouble."Is… Is that so? Then, it's better to prioritize your child. I won't get jealous," Wanda said."I knew you wouldn't. If you bore my child, I would cherish it much more than Samantha's. I wouldn't miss any of your pregnancy check-ups. You know this, Wanda. I would like for you to give birth to my heir. The baby's gender wouldn't even matter, as long as it's ours."Stefan placed g
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 612
"Alright then," Millie replied.Stefan had gotten injured because of her, and besides, she had promised to visit too. And since Stefan had personally asked, she decided to stay a little longer.Meanwhile outside, everything had quieted down. Millie assumed that Wanda had already left and thought nothing of it. But two hours later, when she stepped out, she was surprised to find Wanda still there.For once, Wanda seemed to know her place. Knowing that she had no status or title now, she didn't dare to throw a tantrum.If this were in the past, she would have already stirred up quite a scene at the hospital.Wanda shot Millie a venomous look, like a snake poised to strike. She looked as though she wanted nothing more than to sink her fangs into Millie and deliver a deadly dose of poison.Not long ago, Wanda still looked in the pink of health. But now, she was visibly thinner. No matter how good the supplements were, consuming so much of them would only end up wearing her body dow
