I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Liam Michaelson raised his voice, causing Joy Chaucer to shudder in fear, her heart trembling along with her body. “I’m pregnant, you can’t do anything to me, the law protects pregnant women,” Joy Chaucer declared, adept at finding legal loopholes. “The child inside me is innocent, you can’t hold me responsible for my crimes.”

Liam Michaelson sneered, enlightening Joy, “Being pregnant is not a get-out-of-jail-free card. Once the child is born, you will face the full force of the law, Joy Chaucer. No one is above it.”

Frightened, Joy Chaucer’s hands, though handcuffed, desperately reached for Liam. “Officer Michaelson, I admit my mistake, I was coerced! It was Ethan Channing who wanted to harm Ruby, not me,” she blurted out, attempting to shift the blame. “Just let me go, and I’ll do whatever you say from now on.”Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

As she spoke, Joy Chaucer began to undress. Disgusted, Liam quickly intervened, “Put your clothes back on, there are cameras watching, Joy Chaucer. Don’t try any tricks.”

Despite her upper garment being removed, she loudly exclaimed, “Rape! Liam Michaelson is raping me!” Liam was left speechless, and other officers who heard the commotion came in. A female officer quickly helped Joy get dressed. Without the surveillance footage, Liam knew he would have a hard time proving his innocence.

For the time being, Joy Chauder was taken away, and Liam returned to his office, seething with anger. His colleague Veridian remarked, “Why get angry at such people? You’re not new to policing; you’ve seen all sorts of rascals.”

Liam sighed deeply. “Despite being a wealthy heiress, Joy Chaucer is utterly shameless. Thank goodness for the surveillance, or I’d be in deep trouble, just like Terrence once was.”

After taking a sip of tea to calm his nerves, Veridian noted, “At least we have the evidence. That settles Ruby’s case, and there are plenty more charges against Joy Chaucer to keep us busy.”

“How are things on your end?” Liam asked. “The person who targeted Ethan Channing that night, are they connected to the assassination attempt on Terrence?”

Both seasoned detectives, they had a sharp insight into criminal investigations. “The first and second shots that night were by different shooters,” Veridian reported, having investigated the sniper’s position across from the hospital. “The first shot was never meant to kill Ethan Channing, similar to Terrence’s encounter where the first shot hit his car tire.”

Liam pondered for a moment, “You mean, within this group, one person didn’t want to kill them but the second shooter did. What does that mean?”

“We need to catch the culprit to find out,” Veridian replied. “I consulted with Captain Kendall yesterday. They’ve been tracking a major case related to these incidents. They’ve traced it to assassins from the Celestial Alliance, and Ethan Channing was likely one of them.”

The police were slowly unraveling the truth. “Celestial Alliance assassins are elusive. This organization has been around for many years, abducting children every five years to turn them into killers. I remember Captain Kendall mentioning his sister disappeared twenty years ago. He found some clues recently; she was probably taken by them too,” Liam recounted.

“Yes, so Captain Kendall has been on the trail of the Celestial Alliance,” Veridian added. “After Ethan Channing’s death, their assassins have gone quiet. These people operate globally and are skilled at disguise, making them hard to capture.”

“How did the Sterling family offend the Celestial Alliance?” Liam wondered aloud. “I need to visit Terrence, remind him to increase security to ensure his safety.”
