I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Hya pushed Selene aside and immediately engaged in combat with several people. Hya's words struck Selene like a blow to her soul. Ever since she lost her memory, she had been having a recurring dream where a woman's voice urged her to run. She didn't remember Hya, but she had seen her in her dreams. She had even asked Harvey who Hya was before. When Hya appeared, Selene believed her and sensed that Hya meant no harm.

Hya held off the assassins from the Celestial Alliance to give Selene a chance to escape. But how could Selene leave? She wouldn't abandon Hya. Gritting her teeth and suppressing her discomfort, Selene saw Hya being ambushed. She stepped forward, grabbed the attacker's shoulder, and threw him over her shoulder. The attacker landed on his feet and launched another attack at Selene.

Trained by the Celestial Alliance, each opponent was highly skilled and armed with specially designed soft knives, aiming for lethal strikes. Outnumbered, Selene relied on muscle memory to fight back, but the effects of the drug in her system soon took their toll. She sustained injuries to her abdomen and back.

Seeing this, Hya panicked. "I'll go back with you; let Selene go."

"Master Reginald's orders are unconditional," Lia said, exuding killing intent. "I also want to see who is stronger."

In the Celestial Alliance, only the fittest survived. Many wanted to challenge Selene's position within the organization. "Shameless," Hya fumed.

Hya fought fiercely and quickly took down one opponent, but she was soon entangled by others and couldn't help Selene. Selene was overwhelmed, receiving cut after cut as they toyed with her.

Hya knew that if this dragged on, both of them would be done for. She glanced at the nearby river, made a split-second decision, and pulled Selene into the water.

The river's current was strong, quickly submerging them both. The Celestial Alliance members saw this and shouted, "Chase downstream; don't let them escape."

Selene and Hya were excellent swimmers, thanks to their training in the Celestial Alliance. Instead of heading downstream, they dived underwater and swam upstream with all their might.

As the Celestial Alliance members searched along the riverbank, police sirens approached, forcing them to leave quickly.

Selene briefly lost consciousness after entering the water but was awakened by the waves. By the time they reached the shore under a bridge upstream, several minutes had passed.

Selene coughed violently and took a long time to recover. Hya anxiously asked, "Selene, are you okay?"

"I won't die," Selene replied groggily. "What about you?"

"I'm fine," Hya said, feeling pained by Selene's injuries. "We need to get to a clinic."

Selene had multiple cuts from the soft knives and had been soaking in water for too long; her wounds looked horrific.

"Going to a clinic will expose us. I won't die; these injuries are nothing compared to what I endured during training."

"Training?" Hya was surprised. "Selene, have you remembered?"

Prompted by Hya's words, Selene realized she had regained her memories and was equally shocked. She also noticed that the severe abdominal pain was gone.

"Hya, could it be that the medicine you gave me was actually an antidote?" Selene asked in confusion.

"I don't know," Hya replied uncertainly. She had stolen it from a lab and initially thought it was an antidote. But when members of the Celestial Alliance mentioned it was prepared specifically for Selene, she feared it might be poison. "Selene, have you really remembered everything?" Hya found it hard to believe. Could it be that she had accidentally stolen the antidote?

Selene rubbed her temples; she remembered everything now. She knew she had become expendable to the Celestial Alliance-they wouldn't keep her alive. Having spent so much time with John Wilkinson, even if she claimed not to have betrayed the Celestial Alliance, Reginald wouldn't believe her.

She couldn't return to the Celestial Alliance anymore.

Struggling to stand up, Selene looked at Hya and asked, "What are your plans?"

At least she was John Wilkinson's biological sister; no matter how bad things got for her, they wouldn't be too dire. But Hya was different-her hands were stained with blood; neither the police nor the Celestial Alliance would let her go now.
