I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Selene gave a cold smile. She had always known someone was behind the scenes, but she never expected it to be the person she cared about the most. Hya's hands were stained with blood because of her. Selene lowered her eyes and after a moment, looked up at Hya. "Where is Terrence?"

"I don't know," Hya replied. "I fired a shot, the car started leaking oil. I fired another shot, and the car exploded. But before the explosion, Terrence and his assistant jumped out. After that, I left." "Did Master instruct you to do this? Why?" Selene had too many questions. "You never miss when you act. Didn't you confirm whether Terrence was dead?"

Hya shook her head. "Master didn't want Terrence dead, just wanted to teach him a lesson."

"A lesson?" Selene was even more puzzled. "Did Terrence offend Master?"

"I don't know," Hya said. "I just follow Master's orders without questioning them."

"You really are Master's perfect weapon," Selene mocked herself and walked towards the river.

"Selene, if you want to leave Celestial Alliance, I can help you," Hya suddenly said. "I will help you achieve everything you want."

To Hya, Selene was the most important person. She was even willing to sacrifice her life for Selene. After ten years of being inseparable, acting as Selene's shadow, she had become one with her. Today, she had disobeyed Master's orders by revealing herself to Selene.

Selene turned to look at Hya; the wind tousled her hair. The good sister she hadn't seen in ten years was now unrecognizable.

"Why?"

Hya walked towards Selene and hugged her. "You are me, and I am you. I want you to be happy, Selene. We are both controlled by Master. Even if you surrender yourself, Master will have someone silence you. We are all Master's experiments; without the antidote, we won't live long. I know Master has the ultimate antidote. Once taken, everything will be fine. I'll get it for you so you can completely break free from Celestial Alliance."

Selene was stunned. Hya reached out to caress her face, her eyes filled with reluctance and a different kind of emotion.

Selene became frightened and took two steps back.

It was this action that made Hya's eyes darken, invisibly wounding her heart.

Hya withdrew her hand and said, "Selene, you must stay alive. Before leaving Celestial Alliance, don't reveal your thoughts. In the future, if there's something you don't want to do, don't be afraid; I'm here for you." With these words left behind, Hya turned around, got into her car, and drove away.

Selene stood by the river, recalling every mission over the past ten years. If it weren't for Hya, she wouldn't know how many times she would have died.

Selene knew that Ethan Channing must be dead; she hadn't killed him-Hya did it. Otherwise, Hya wouldn't have appeared here.

She and Hya were not biological sisters, but she knew that if danger ever came their way, Hya would sacrifice her life for her.

Selene stayed by the river for a while before returning home. She acted as usual as if she had never seen Hya or known that Hya was still alive.

As soon as she stepped into the living room, she was attacked; pain shot through her foot as she fell heavily to her knees. Surrounded by Celestial Alliance members on both sides, she looked up to see Reginald Hawthorne sitting on the sofa. In agony, Selene cried out, "Master."

Reginald Hawthorne took a puff of his cigar and said, "Selene, your performance tonight has greatly disappointed me."

"I'm sorry, Master. I failed," Selene lowered her head and recalled Hya's words. "Please give me another chance."

As soon as she finished speaking, Reginald Hawthorne placed a bottle of medicine on the table-the same medicine Selene had given Damien.

Seeing that bottle made Selene's face turn pale; she realized how foolish she had been. She was trained by Reginald Hawthorne; how could she possibly outwit him?

"Go back to headquarters and reflect on your actions," Reginald Hawthorne said calmly with a wave of his hand. The next second, Selene was knocked unconscious and taken away. Ethan Channing was dead; that night the police station was brightly lit and bustling with activity.

The victim was dead but the murderer hadn't been caught; this angered their superiors.

Liam Michaelson was also very frustrated; Ethan Channing had too many clues on him that were of great value.

The next day.

Meredith learned about Ethan Channing's death and was only briefly surprised as if she had already anticipated it.

Meredith didn't know why it happened this way either but when Ethan Channing refused to reveal Terrence's whereabouts, she realized he would be silenced.

Rick had mentioned that a car had crashed into Ethan Channing's vehicle and fired shots at him; failing to kill him the first time meant there would definitely be a second attempt.
