"Just dump her here. What a stroke of bad luck." "Dying on this ship is going to cause me so much trouble. We need to get rid of her now”. Tatiana struggled to open her eyes. Suddenly, she was thrown out by a force, and she began to plummet rapidly. Thud! Her body crashed into the deep blue sea! Her consciousness began to fade… Suddenly— The woman floating in the water snapped her eyes open. Tatiana smirked, her eyes glinting with cold light and murderous intent. She quickly absorbed the memories flooding into her mind. She had been reborn in a parallel world, where the original owner shared her name and even her appearance. The original Tatiana had been arranged by her stepmother to be thrown onto a boat headed for another city. She had developed peritonitis and, when she was about to die the captain decided to toss her into the sea at just 18 years old. As the world’s number one assassin, now that she has taken over ths body, she was determined to take revenge! She must find who tried to kill her in her previous life and so find out who killed the previous owner’s mother. From the memories she received it seems that her mother's death was orchestrated. Tatiana narrowed her eyes and noticed something unusual in the water nearby—a gray dorsal fin was appearing and disappearing. It was a tiger shark! Tiger sharks were swimming fast towards Tatiana from all directions. She remembered suddenly that the original had secretly carried a dagger with her. Drawing it out, she aimed for the nearest shark's eye and plunged the blade in without hesitation... After a while, the sea was littered with the bodies of the tiger sharks. “Splash—” was the sound of a dagger hitting the water. This body was too weak; if it were her original body, she wouldn't feel so exhausted. Just then, a small boat finally appeared on the endless sea. Tatiana swam with all her might toward it. On the boat lay a man in his twenties, completely still, his fate unknown. She climbed onto the inflatable boat and checked his breathing—he was still alive. As she examined his face more closely, she noticed his smooth, fair skin and perfectly sculpted features. This face was definitely to her liking. However, his lips had an unusual bluish tint. Tatiana checked his pulse; it was weak, indicating he had been poisoned for a long time. An injury on his arm had caused the poison to flare up. She glanced around and jumped back into the sea, quickly diving to the bottom. She gathered a few plants and climbed back onto the boat. She selected some leaves, crushed them together, and applied the mixture to his wound. Ten minutes later, his injury suddenly swelled alarmingly. Without hesitation, she took her dagger and gently cut open the swollen skin. Dark blood oozed out, and she leaned down to suck the blood from his wrist, spitting out the tainted blood afterward. She tore off some of his clothing and quickly bandaged him up. She wasn't some kind-hearted healer; she just thought it would be a shame for someone so handsome to die. After a while, she checked his pulse again, and it was noticeably stronger. In her previous life, although she was an assassin, she was also a skilled healer. This poison was potent, but to her, it was nothing she couldn't handle. At that moment, the man coughed a few times and slowly opened his eyes. His gaze instantly turned icy, and he swiftly pulled out a dagger, pointing it at her with decisive and fierce movements. Tatiana frowned. Was he serious? This guy wanted to kill his savior the moment he woke up? Maxim squinted slightly, his voice hoarse. "Who are you?" "Watch your knife." Her voice was soft, but there was an underlying chill that could be felt through it. Only then did Maxim get a good look at the girl's face. Her features were striking, with delicate brows and captivating eyes that sparkled like an endless galaxy, mysterious and alluring, making one instinctively want to draw closer. Maxim was momentarily taken aback, a flicker of surprise crossing his eyes. “Why does she look so familiar, she-”. Before he could think further, she spoke again, "I'm your savior." "Savior?" Maxim frowned in response. Tatiana remained calm. "You have a condition. Don't you know? Or do you want me to spell it out for you”. Maxim's expression turned cold in an instant. "Are you looking for trouble?" "I guess you often suffer from amnesia at night, and no one can help you with it," Tatiana said, raising an eyebrow as she tended to the wound on her leg. Maxim remained silent, but the slight widening of his pupils betrayed his emotions. “That poison is called Heart Eater, and I’ve already neutralized it for you,” Tatiana said cryptically. Maxim's voice was icy as he asked, “How do you know all this?” Tatiana feigned mystery, replying, “Some secrets are not meant to be revealed.” Maxim’s expression remained cautious. Suddenly, Tatiana frowned, a sharp pain gripping her abdomen in waves. Damn it, this body is too weak; the appendicitis was flaring up. Seeing her distress, Maxim noticed shedidn’t seem to be pretending. “What’s wrong with you?” he asked. Before she could respond, she fainted. Immediately, he pressed the button attached to his bracelet to give signals to his crew. “Sir, are you okay?. We are coming in now. His secretary’s sounded from afar. Tatiana’s opened, staring at her environment but before she could utter a word, she fainted again. Someone was approaching. Tatiana suddenly opened her eyes and grabbed the arm of the person coming near her. “Ouch! That hurts! You need to calm down ma'am” exclaimed a middle-aged man in a white coat. From the doctor, she learned that after she had passed out, her bodyguard found Maxim and brought both of them onto the ship. Maxim had asked the doctor to help her recover. “You’re awake,” a deep voice said.Three days later—The first thing Tatiana saw when she opened her eyes was a blanket of white. After a few moments of confusion, she blinked and slowly turned her head to look around, realizing she was in a hospital.Before she could take in her surroundings, she heard the sound of a door opening. Turning toward the noise, she saw Maxim walking in.When Maxim saw Tatiana awake and looking at him, he felt a rush of excitement. He quickly approached her and asked,"You’re finally awake! How do you feel? Is there anywhere that still hurts?"Tatiana slowly shook her head, wanting to speak, but her throat was dry and raspy. Instead, she looked at Maxim, hoping he would understand that she needed water.Fortunately, Maxim got the hint. He smiled at her and hurried over to pour a glass of warm water. After helping her drink, Tatiana felt a wave of relief wash over her. "I’m fine. How long was I out?""Three days," Maxim replied, his eyes filled with an emotion she couldn't quite place.Emo
With that thought, Riley quickly left those people behind.Tatiana, on the other hand, was unaware of Riley's situation. She stood facing the assassin in front of her, her expression icy."Miss, we hope you can leave this place. We don't want to harm you; we just need you to leave that man behind. We assure you, you can leave here safely."These people had been here for a long time, trying to persuade Tatiana to leave. Their boss had ordered that she couldn't be harmed, but they couldn't understand why this woman refused to budge. They had been standing there for what felt like ages.Realizing that convincing Tatiana was futile, the leader turned his attention to Mazim. "Maxim, are you still a man? Hiding behind a woman?”Maxim pressed his hand against his shoulder, his face pale from blood loss. He managed a weak smile and replied, "Better than being unprotected like you."Though he said that, deep down, he hoped Tatiana would leave soon. He didn't know how long they could mainta
Crushing the herbs and applying them to the wound, then bandaging it up was all she could do for now. After tending to his injury, he looked at Tatiana and said, "You need to get out of here quickly. They’re not after you, and they won’t chase you. Find a way back and get someone to rescue me."Tatiana replied, "By then, it won’t be about saving you; it’ll just be about collecting your body."Seeing Maxim’s pale face, Tatiana insisted, "I’m not leaving. It was my idea to come here, and I won’t just abandon you.""Why are you being so foolish?" Maxim's lips curled into a slight smile. In such a dire situation, all he wanted was for Tatiana to leave.She was the girl he liked, and he wanted her to be safe, away from this suffering. But why, upon realizing she wouldn’t leave, did he feel even more touched and reluctant to let her go?"I’m not foolish. I’m with you, and we’re married—even if it’s just pretend. We’re friends, right?" Tatiana said, helping Maxim to his feet as they slowly
The man didn’t even have time to react before he collapsed unconscious.The commotion drew attention, and all eyes turned toward Tatiana.“Run!” Tatiana shouted, grabbing Maxim’s hand and sprinting toward the nearby trees.Her shout jolted everyone awake, and the leader yelled for the others to pursue both of them.As Tatiana saw that they were about to disappear from sight, the leader at the front suddenly darkened his expression. He quickly pulled out something and fired a shot toward Maxim.Tatiana turned around just in time to witness this scene, and immediately grabbed Maxim, trying to switch places with him. But little did she know, Maxim had also spotted the bullet heading his way.The leader initially thought the bullet might miss Maxim since the woman beside him was ready to take the hit, but to his surprise, her didn’t let her take the bullet for him.“Bang—”The sound of the gunshot echoed, startling the birds perched in the trees, sending them flying off into the distance
Moreover, John had sent someone to wait for them so early. If they hadn't arrived earlier, and had waited until later to come, things would have been even more complicated.With these thoughts in mind, Maxim felt even more determined. Once they were out of here, he would make sure to pull John down from his position as soon as possible. Someone like him didn’t deserve to be in the company.He believed that his grandfather would never allow such a person to be part of the company either.The next morning, sunlight streamed through the leaves, casting bright rays that pierced Tatiana's eyes. She blinked a few times, slowly waking up.As she looked around, her mind began to piece together the events of the previous day. At that moment, Maxim also stirred awake as Tatiana shifted away from his shoulder.He had barely slept at all last night, finally drifting off only as morning approached.Tatiana stood up and checked her phone, only to find there was still no signal. She turned to Max
"The place ahead is Sylvia's home. Do you think they might not be looking for us and instead have gone to kill them?""No way, these assassins are all managed by someone. They only target their assignments and won't harm anyone else, so we need to protect ourselves first." Tatiana said this without a hint of hesitation, but then she realized that as a young lady, she probably shouldn't know about such things.Thinking this, Tatiana cautiously glanced at Maxim. His expression didn’t seem strange, so he likely hadn’t caught on to what she was implying. With that thought, she quietly sighed in relief; otherwise, she would have to find a way to explain everything, which would only complicate matters. She didn’t want Maxim to get dragged into this mess.With that in mind, Tatiana said, "Let’s stop talking about this and get out of here. We can’t stay for long, and we can’t be sure they won’t come back.”As she spoke, she tugged on Maxim's shirt and led him toward the exit. However, as she
