Chapter 471

"Let me drive you home," Tobias offered.On the way, Millie couldn't shake her unease. Why had that dream felt so vivid?"Tobias, have you heard any news about Pierce?" She couldn't help but ask."No, Millie. Don't worry. Pierce will surely be fine," Tobias comforted."Alright," Millie replied absentmindedly, too distracted to notice the slight tremble in Tobias' voice.When she returned to the villa, she didn't go to her room to rest. Instead, she headed to the study. Her workspace was there, right next to Pierce's desk, in the spot with the best lighting and view.Half of the bookshelf was filled with her fashion magazines. Whenever she was tired, she liked curling up on the chaise lounge to read.Their first time had been here, too.Knowing it was her first time, Pierce had bizarrely refused to let anyone clean the carpet. Instead, he had carefully cut out that section, preserved it in a box, and stored it as a keepsake.Millie had been mortified but didn't bother scolding

When Millie heard those words, her blood went cold. "W-What did you just s-say?" she stammered, struggling to get the words out."I'm no good at all. Don't love me anymore.""You're the one who made me fall for you! You're the one who insisted on keeping me by your side! And now you're telling me not to love you? Pierce, you bastard! You're an absolute bastard!"If I get together with someone else, I won't ever think of you again!""Mills…" Pierce sounded panicked. He called out her name as if trying to stop her.A flicker of hope ignited in Millie's heart. Pierce wouldn't let her go just like that. He had fought so hard to get to her, so he wouldn't give up now.To her surprise, his shoulders suddenly slumped as he let out a heavy sigh. "That's for the best."He uttered those four words in despair. Millie's body went stiff, and all color drained from her face.In an instant, the figure before her disappeared.Millie opened her eyes, realizing she had been dreaming again. Sh

"Alright. We'll do as you wish. I'll have the doctor come to the villa to treat you," Tobias said.Millie returned to the villa in silence. She didn't say a word the entire way. She was unnervingly quiet, and Tobias couldn't help but worry. If Pierce saw her like this, he would surely be heartbroken.Tobias sighed and wondered where he was.When Millie arrived at the villa, she was surprised to find that she couldn't even get inside. Pierce's parents and Samantha were there. Millie's belongings had been thrown onto the ground in a mess. Her clothes were strewn everywhere, and they were covered in footprints. They had clearly been trampled on countless times.Tobias' anger flared immediately. "Who allowed any of you to do this? Have you lost your minds?""It was me." Samantha stepped out, her gaze filled with resentment as she glared at Millie.If it weren't for her, Samantha wouldn't have been sent out of the country. She wouldn't have missed seeing Pierce one last time. To her

Millie picked up her phone and dialed 911. "Hello, officer? There are intruders in my house, and things got violent. Please send someone over to handle this."After reporting the incident, she turned to Samantha. "You've trespassed into someone else's house. I'd shown mercy by merely giving you a few slaps. I'll check my belongings later. If anything is missing, I'll press charges for theft.""Are you out of your mind?" Melissa screeched. Then, she fumed righteously, "This is my son's house. I'm his mother. I have every right to be here. All of you are hired by Pierce, so who do you answer to?"The maids spoke in unison. "Mr. Atkinson, of course." "And who did he instruct you to listen to in his absence?""Madam Millie…" one of the maids replied hesitantly."I'll be the one paying your salaries from now on. Get these people out of here immediately!" Melissa ordered.Millie had no intention of trying to stay on good terms with them. Everyone knew about Pierce's strained relati

Millie got up and opened the door. "What is it?""Why the hostility?" Donald queried."I don't like anyone who Pierce doesn't like," she replied flatly."And how do you know he doesn't like us? Every family has its own skeletons in the closet. Nothing is ever absolute."Donald sat down at Pierce's desk—the very spot Millie had just occupied a moment ago.Millie frowned slightly. She had been sitting there simply because she missed Pierce. But Donald sat there as though it were a seat of authority.Folding his hands in front of him, he said, "My son liked you very much and left you quite a lot. Don't worry, the Atkinson family won't try to take it back."His words made Millie realize that he thought of her as the kind of woman who married for money."I admire your courage from earlier, so I'll give you a friendly piece of advice—cut ties with Pierce. This time, he offended many people. The Atkinson family will publicly sever all ties with him and select a new successor to the co

"This is the rest of Pierce's assets. Apart from what he'd given to you before, there's also this. He asked me to manage it over the years. These are his private assets, so it has nothing to do with the Atkinson family," Tobias informed solemnly."Please leave. I'd like to be alone for a while," Millie murmured.Tobias nodded in understanding and left the room.The room was simple. There was only a bed and a desk in it. In silence, Millie began opening the letters one by one, starting with the first one Pierce had ever written.He had served in the force for eight years. By the age of 20, he was already the most outstanding student at the police academy and had been assigned an overseas mission before even graduating.He had started writing to her in his first year of service.Some missions lasted only a month, while others spanned up to two years. Each mission, whether short or long, was incredibly dangerous. Pierce rarely had any time to rest, let alone time for himself.He'd

"I'll see to it, Millie." Tobias assured her."And another thing…" Millie exhaled deeply, fixing a determined gaze on Tobias."I want to meet with Mr. Sommers. Can you help me arrange it?"Though puzzled, Tobias nodded and made the arrangements.Jacob agreed to her request immediately. He even set aside his work to meet her as he felt deeply guilty toward Millie."If you're here to scold me, go ahead. You can even hit me if that makes you feel better," Jacob said apologetically.He felt deep remorse over Pierce's death. But for the greater good of society, he had no other choice."Pierce's identity was exposed, which led to his death in the mission. Will those criminals retaliate against his family?" Millie asked bluntly.Jacob replied, "Well, they wouldn't dare touch the Atkinson family, but you're in real danger. I'm afraid they'll come after you. I've made plans to assign plainclothes officers to protect you. I've also coordinated with the precinct in your area to amp up the

During this time, Millie couldn't afford to dwell on her grief because she had work to do. She was making Pierce's suit for the wedding. With the delays over the past few days, she feared she wouldn't finish it on time. She worked tirelessly and late into the night.The embroidery on the cuffs was her own handiwork. They were stitched carefully by hand using a unique double-sided technique. On the surface were some dark green motifs, but when flipped, the embroidery inside revealed words that reflected Millie's wishes.One side read, "Till death do we part."And the other side read, "Forever united in heart."She had locked herself in the study to focus on her embroidery, but a maid interrupted her solitude."Mrs. Atkinson, Mr. Leach is here and insists on seeing you.""I won't see him.""But… But he's already forced his way in."Millie frowned. "Then call the police!""Come out, Millie! Don't lock yourself away. Get out of the room!" Stefan's anxious voice came from outside t

Millie didn't even stop to check her injury. Instead, she clutched the mannequin tightly, murmuring dazedly, "Thank goodness…"Thankfully, the suit wasn't damaged. She planned to bury this suit alongside the clothes Pierce often wore. If she died as well, she wanted to be buried in the same coffin as him, wearing her wedding dress.Stefan watched as she protected a mere suit so fiercely. If it had been Pierce himself, how much more would she have cared?Once upon a time, this woman had been willing to give up her life for him. But in the end, he lost her completely.Stefan staggered backward, gripping the desk to steady himself. "How… How did we end up like this? I was wrong, Millie. But what about you? How unwavering had your feelings for me been? Perhaps… You never loved me at all."Millie couldn't hear his words clearly. But even if she had, she wouldn't have cared to respond.Stefan left the room in staggered steps. As he reached the door, he paused, still unwilling to give u

The wedding day arrived quickly.Millie had painstakingly worked on Pierce's suit, so she didn't have time to spare for her own dress. She just ordered one for herself—the one Pierce had chosen before. She trusted his taste completely. He never got it wrong.She had always admired Pierce's sense of style, thinking it was on par with hers. Later, she realized it was because he had secretly studied fashion on his own. Over time, his eye for detail became exceptional with all he learned.He had always worked so hard to catch up to her.Millie departed for the castle, which was one of Pierce's properties. It was secluded, with idyllic surroundings, thereby making it the ideal location. The fact that it was far removed from the hustle and bustle of the city also made it perfect for those who were plotting harm to act.She hadn't invited anyone she knew. Instead, the police and CBP officers would pose as the wedding guests. She arranged for an announcer to stand by the entrance to the h
