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

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

"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

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

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
