Millie just transferred the money to Wanda.Wanda called right away and asked, "What's this about? Why are you suddenly giving me money?""The money is from Stefan. He thought I might be struggling and told me to spend it however I wanted. He even mentioned I could ask for more if needed, but I didn't want it. Since he refused to take it back, I figured giving it to you was the same. After all, you both are family.""Are you serious? There's no way Stefan is giving you money.""Think whatever you like."After hanging up, Millie sent a text to Stefan. "I don't want your money. We've cut ties, so you have no reason to spend on me. I handed all the money to Wanda.""Why are you so difficult, Millie? I've said everything I could, and you still won't budge."Stefan was quite annoyed with Millie repeatedly turning down his kindness.Millie didn't bother replying. Stefan should worry about handling Wanda instead.At this point, Millie had finished making Pierce's custom suit. But S

Pierce held Millie's waist firmly, relishing the moist, velvety touch of her tongue. Her lips, soft as velvet and painted crimson, kissed him with a tenderness that seemed to be stealing his very soul. By the time Millie was done, several hickeys were visible. "That should be enough, right?""Yeah, that should do the trick.""If there's nothing else, I'll head out first. Make sure to try on the sample outfit later and see if it fits. If it's not the right size, we'll fix it."Millie wanted to go, but Pierce still held her tightly in his arms. "What are you doing?""Well, I need to return the favor.""What do you mean? It was you—"Millie gasped in surprise. Instead of leaving hickeys on her neck, Pierce gently tugged her collar open, kissed her on the collarbone, and slowly kissed down from there.He continued kissing her, his breath a gentle caress as he savored every moment. But he seemed to know his limits and didn't take things too far, making it as intimate as possibl

Millie thought Pierce brought up marriage during the press conference to deal with his parents. But when she saw the news about Atkinson Group's stock soaring, she realized he was all about business.Pierce was upfront about being married. His sense of responsibility made people more confident about him taking over Atkinson Group.People on the Internet usually shared this same attitude. "A man who's willing to take on family responsibilities is usually a good catch. He's miles ahead of those who are secretly married and cheating."Thanks to Pierce's reputation and his honest demeanor, Atkinson Group's stock kept going up. It was hard to tell if the increase was due to the chip development or his charisma.The press conference at Atkinson Group swiftly made it to the top of trending topics. Many people talked about it on the Internet.Everyone started to wonder who Mrs. Atkinson was. She was so lucky to land a guy like Pierce, and she probably smiled in her sleep every night.Mil

Pierce pursed his lips and continued, "The wedding dress is for Sammy."Millie was taken aback and felt a little embarrassed. It turned out she was overthinking it. "Are you looking for anything in particular?""Go with what you think looks good. I want it ready for her to wear when she gets married. She's around your height and build, so just use yourself as a reference.""Sure, I'll take care of it. Just a heads-up. Making a wedding dress is a lot of work and can take some time.""Take your time."They went back together after dinner. The next day, Millie found out at her studio that Celia had closed a deal. However, the client had requested to meet with the designer. They preferred to see a portfolio to clearly understand her work."Alright, let's have Julian handle it.""But the client requested the clothes for his wife, so it's probably better if you go instead, boss."Mille nodded in agreement. She was indeed the better candidate for the task.The appointment was sched

Alex asked, "Did you bring your measuring tools? How about you take my measurements and make a custom set for me?""We have a male designer in our studio. I can introduce you to him and get you a discount," Millie responded."I don't want anyone else. I want you to do the design. Hurry up and take my measurements. Make sure you do it right.""Let's leave it for next time, Mr. Thorne. We can go over it when Cindy is here. I've got other appointments, so I'll head out now."Alex's lecherous demeanor was gross, and he kept crossing the line with Millie.Fuming, Millie grabbed her things and tried to leave. But as soon as she stood up, she felt light-headed, and her vision went dark.What went wrong? She didn't touch the drink Alex ordered at all.Puzzled, Millie looked at the glass before her, having not taken a sip."There's nothing with the alcohol; it's the lemonade. Didn't you notice it yet?"Alex chuckled.Millie's heart raced. A waiter brought over the lemonade, so she tho

Millie struggled to open her eyes, trying to make out who it was. But with the light streaming in behind them, all she could make out was a tall silhouette and nothing else."Who are you? How dare you mess with me? Do you know I'm—"Before Alex could finish, the newcomer sent him flying with a heavy kick. The next moment, Millie found herself in a warm embrace.Millie couldn't open her eyes because her eyelids felt too heavy. Despite that, she could vividly sense his presence. The newcomer had to be Pierce. After all, she felt a cold and aloof air, as if he stood apart from everything.The worry that had been weighing over her chest melted away. Having him nearby always brought her comfort.Pierce gently brushed Millie's cheeks with his hand. Even in her unconscious state, she winced in pain.Feeling a pang in his heart, Pierce withdrew his hand because he was scared of hurting Millie further. He gently set her down on the couch and draped his coat on her to keep her covered. T

Pierce could feel Millie's warm tears seeping through his shirt.After some time, Millie finally returned to her senses. She looked up, teary-eyed."What are you doing here?""I heard you calling for help."They were destined to meet. Whenever she was in danger, he always managed to show up in the nick of time. He was like her lucky star."Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"Mille shook her head."Are you tired? You should take a nap.""Stay with me," Millie asked softly. She knew she was being unreasonable, but she was still shaken from the ordeal. Alex's touch made her feel like she had fallen into an abyss. That was her greatest fear.Pierce pursed his lips as he made up his mind. "Alright. I'll stay with you.""Not on the couch. Stay with me by the bed. Is that okay?" Millie pleaded. Having him closer would make her feel safer."Alright. Whatever you say."Pierce was incredibly gentle and patient that night. He complied with all her requests.Millie leaned

Millie's hand froze in place, awkwardly lingering where it had landed. At that moment, she wished she could just disappear."I was just checking out your chest muscles. You work out a lot, so I wanted to see how they were."She tried to sound calm as she slowly withdrew her hand, patting his chest. "It's not bad. It feels quite firm. Impressive."Pierce raised an eyebrow and watched as she babbled on with a straight face."I'm going to freshen up." Millie turned and quickly left without looking back, feeling the weight of his intense gaze on her the whole way.Once inside the bathroom, she locked the door and leaned against the wall. Of all the times for him to wake up, why did it have to be right then?After washing up, she came out and saw Pierce changing clothes. His back was facing her, and his pants were already on, revealing his strong and muscular back.His body was covered in scars, some from bullets, others from sharp weapons. He wore each one like a badge of honor.A

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
