I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 9
"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

"Do you like it?" Pierce suddenly asked."Of course. Who wouldn't like something so brilliant and beautiful? It's a shame it's so fleeting and impossible to hold onto."Pierce pressed his lips together, choosing not to respond.Meanwhile, Millie had forgotten about her sadness after having so much fun.By the time they were heading back, it was already past midnight. Tired, Millie fell asleep in the car with her head resting on Pierce's shoulder.Pierce glanced at her briefly, then continued working on his documents.Soon, they arrived at the villa."We're here—""Quiet," Pierce ordered softly.Tobias immediately fell silent.Pierce then gently lifted Millie in his arms and carried her upstairs, laying her down on the bed."It's amazing how soundly you sleep," Pierce remarked as he tapped her forehead lightly. He watched her for a while before leaving the room.It was a beautiful night, the moon shining brightly, accompanied by a light breeze.Early the next morning, Milli

"Does he have a gun? The very powerful kind?" Caleb asked."Of course," Millie replied without hesitation. "His aim is legendary. He could hit a target a hundred yards away." Millie started shamelessly fabricating the story.Caleb's eyes sparkled with awe, all traces of his earlier fright gone. "Can he turn invisible?""Sure. He can easily climb walls and move things without touching them!""Does he shoot webs like a superhero?""Only foreign superheroes can do that, but we're not into that. Instead, he's mastered martial arts and street fighting."Pierce had been away for over ten minutes, and Millie spent every second of it exaggerating his feats.She didn't notice Pierce at all even though he was standing beside her, still enraptured in her fabricated storytelling.She continued, "He can even capture ghosts! If someone dies unjustly, he can negotiate with the devil in hell and bring them back.""Wow, that's so amazing!" Caleb exclaimed."Millie, if you were Pinocchio, your

Millie's eyes widened in disbelief. She couldn't believe that such a bold statement had come from a little boy."H-How old are you? Do you even know what it means to get married?" Millie asked."I'm already ten. I'm not a kid anymore. Of course, I know what it means—it's spending my whole life with you. I'll be good only to you, and you'll only be good to me," Caleb replied matter-of-factly.Millie was stunned, but more so by the fact that he claimed to be ten! He barely looked six or seven, and his frame was frail—a clear sign of malnutrition."Why do you want to get married? You're just a child," Millie exclaimed.Caleb dropped his head, his expression crestfallen.He began, "When Mom passed away, she held my hand and said that she wouldn't get to see me grow up and get married. I… I won't get to grow up into an adult either. So, I just want to make her wish come true and find a bride ."Millie's heart clenched at his words.His mother had died. And he was sick—gravely ill, j

The post was likely from a socialite, with tags like "wedding of the century" attached.In the photo, everyone stood clapping and cheering. Among the crowd, someone had captured a faint silhouette through the gaps between the people.Onstage, a couple was locked in a passionate kiss. Offstage, another couple was also stealing a quiet moment, their embrace and kiss going unnoticed by most.Someone commented, "What a beautiful shot."Millie zoomed in again and again. Whether it was due to the filter or the angle, the image was unclear and showed only two vague outlines.Still, she knew without a doubt that it was her and Pierce.They had kissed in secret, and somehow, it had been caught on camera and shared online.Fortunately, the image was blurry, and the publisher didn't elaborate. So, the viewers had no idea who the couple was.Millie locked her phone. But moments later, she unlocked it again. Almost without thinking, she saved the photo. After all, it was quite a beautiful

Millie woke up to find a familiar face staring at her.She immediately felt a wave of overwhelming emotions and clung to Pierce's neck, holding him tightly.She felt like a child, utterly helpless in that moment.Pierce's heart ached for Millie as he gently stroked her head. His voice was soft and comforting as he whispered, "I'm sorry I'm late."He had believed that Millie and Samantha were taken away in a cleaning cart and had immediately chased after the vehicle, but it had all been a diversion.He'd realized his mistake and turned back, but the delay had cost him precious time. By the time he returned, the press conference was nearly over.Millie cried for a while before gradually calming down.She didn't blame Pierce. Anyone would have assumed that it was a kidnapping. But in reality, it was just a tactic that Stefan had used to ensure she missed the press conference."Is Samantha okay?" Millie suddenly asked, concern flashing in her eyes.Even though Millie didn't like S

Millie felt a wave of dizziness and collapsed to the ground.The sight of her falling made everyone's chests tighten.Stefan instinctively ran off the stage toward her, but before he could reach her, Millie had already fallen into Pierce's arms.The moment Millie saw Pierce, she whispered his name, "Pierce…" With that, her strength gave out entirely, and she slipped into unconsciousness.Pierce's heart clenched at the sight of the deep gash on Millie's calf. Without hesitation, he scooped her up into his arms and rushed to the hospital.The wound on Millie's calf needed more than a dozen stitches. On top of that, the rust in the wound raised her risk of contracting tetanus, so the doctors had started her on antibiotics right away.However, Millie's immune system was weak. So, she experienced a high fever for days and remained unconscious.At the time of the attack, Tobias had found Samantha while checking the cleaner's room. She had been drugged and was unconscious.Since Milli

"Really? Can you be more specific?" a reporter pressed.But Millie didn't have any evidence to pin the blame on Stefan. So, she forced a weak smile onto her pale face and said, "Well, it was just an accident. I was joking."The reporters saw that Millie was struggling to move forward, so they parted in sync to let her through.Climbing the stage was now an effort for her. The moment she stepped up, she wobbled and nearly fell.Instinctively, Stefan approached to steady her.However, Millie had already steadied herself and unhesitatingly avoided him.Stefan's hand hovered in mid-air before he slowly pulled it back."Wanda, I'm here now. It's time for you to give me a proper apology," Millie said. She stood at the center of the stage, her icy gaze locked onto Wanda.Wanda bit her lip, her gaze darting around. It was obvious that she didn't want to apologize to her.Wanda's doctor seemed to read her mind and spoke up, "Ms. Jordan, Mrs. Leach isn't avoiding her apology. She'd alre

Wanda continued, "I'm really sorry for letting everyone down. I hope the public can give me another chance to make things right. "From now on, I'll be more careful with my words and actions. Meanwhile, I promise that I will never make bets with anyone again," Wanda said.Her last line carried a subtle jab at Millie, hinting that Millie had despicably tricked her into making the bet."Thank you, everyone!" Wanda concluded. With that, she bowed deeply for the third time, acting out genuine sincerity.Just as the reporters in the audience were about to ask their questions, Wanda's doctor stepped in. He then explained that her throat hadn't fully recovered, so she was unable to speak any further.But Wanda insisted, "Just go ahead and ask. I can handle it."The doctor replied, "Ms. Lytle, you're still a patient, so please listen to your doctor. If you keep talking, your vocal cords could be permanently damaged. Do you really want to risk losing your voice forever?""But…" Wanda hes

After checking the surveillance footage, Pierce noticed a group of suspicious people pushing a large cleaning cart. Given how petite Millie and Samantha were, they could easily be stuffed inside it. His chest tightened with worry for their safety, and he immediately started tracking down the group. …Meanwhile in the lounge, Mark was updating Stefan on the situation. "Alright," Stefan replied coolly. The room was filled with the rhythmic tapping of his fingers on the table. Feeling frustrated, he narrowed his eyes and murmured, "Pierce, I never thought you'd care about her so much that you'd lose your cool. "How could she pour her heart into making you love her but not me? Millie, have you ever really loved me over these past three years?"Just then, Wanda finished putting on her makeup and walked out. The crutches already made her look fragile, but the pitiable makeup further drew out a sense of sympathy."Make her lips a little paler," Stefan instructed.At his request,

Samantha panicked for a moment but quickly composed herself. After all, her background was only transparent to the Atkinsons, and there was no way anyone else could have found out about it, including Millie.Pierce had always been careful to guard the secret too. If word got out that she was adopted, rumors would spread like wildfire, and this would lead people to gossip endlessly. Eventually, it would affect her emotional well-being, too.Therefore, to the world, Samantha was an Atkinson by blood. And that was also the reason why she could never express how she truly felt about Pierce.She was certain that Pierce would never have told Millie about her background. Millie must've been bluffing, and there was no way Samantha was going to give herself away. She quickly gathered herself and said, "Millie, what do you mean? I'm his real sister—of course he'll take care of me for life. "But you? That's a whole different story. If you two ever get divorced, who knows how he'd treat you
