After Millie had drifted into slumber the previous night, Marcus had risen from
bed, taken a bracing cold shower, and then positioned himself on the balcony,
yearning to disperse the restless heat coursing through his veins.
If this pattern persisted, Marcus couldn't help but sense that there would come a
moment when he wouldn't be able to deny his desires any longer, when he would
yearn to possess her entirely. And he harbored a burgeoning premonition that
this day was drawing closer.
Trapped within his grasp, Millie found solace on a stone stool adjacent to the
rocking chair, retorting with a touch of playfulness, “Alright, I, a wealthy billionaire
lady, will be keeping you company for a while.”
Marcus had merely intended to take a brief nap, but two hours had slipped by
before he finally stirred awake.
Upon opening his eyes, Marcus was met with the sight of Millie, still perched
serenely beside him.
Beneath the shade of a willow tree, its branches swaying gently, the sunlight
filtered through the leaves, casting a cool shade.
His gaze briefly lowered to his hand holding Millie's, their fingers entwined.
Today marked his first visit to the Brown family, an effort to delve into Millie's past
life.
It was an endeavor prompted by Derek's message, stating that Gianna had
called and invited him for lunch at the Brown family’s residence. Initially, he had
been inclined to decline the invitation.
However, Derek mentioned that Millie would also be present, and after some
consideration, he chose to accept. It was in accordance with the agreement
made before their marriage. A final financial settlement was due.
His mind harked back to the night preceding his journey to Snow Mountain Villa.
Millie had nearly been kidnapped, and she had alluded to the outstanding
payment, questioning if he might choose not to fulfill that financial obligation to
the Brown family.
“Are you awake?” Millie’s gentle voice broke the silence.
After a brief moment, she retrieved the card from her bag and handed it to
Marcus.
“I'll return this card to you. I can’t hold onto a billion dollars like this.”

But in truth, Millie had another critical reason for stashing the card with Marcus.
