Chapter 266 The Truth Sometimes Hurts
June shot her a disdainful look as he continued, “Cassie, do you even realize that you’re the one who screwed yourself over? I was genuinely being nice to you, but you insisted on being loyal to a guy who doesn’t even care about you! Now that he has humiliated you, you come crawling back to me for help? Well, guess what? I’m not a cheap wh*re like you, Cassie! Still, I must say… You’ve done such a great job at being a shameless wh*re that even I’m starting to question my taste in women!”
Having finally regained her composure, Cassie sprung to her feet and jabbed a finger at June as she shouted angrily, “Who are you to talk to me like that, huh? To me, you’re nothing but a little pet that nobody wants! So what if I’m cheap and shameless? You came all the way to Chanaea for me anyway! If I’m a cheap wh*re, then you’re the cheapest of all wh*res! We’re two birds of a feather, so you have no right to criticize me!”
June simply glared coldly at her in response.
Cassie turned around and began walking away, only to have June grab her by the arm seconds later.
“I thought you just called me a cheap wh*re, didn’t you? Why are you grabbing my arm, then?” she yelled while glaring viciously at him.
“You are cheap, but I’m worse.” The cold look on June’s face vanished as he said that, and he went back to being his usual carefree self again.
“Let go, you piece of sh*t!” Cassie mocked him and brushed his arm off as she prepared to leave.
“Keep walking if you don’t want to get your revenge on Oscar.”
Cassie stopped in her tracks immediately upon hearing that.
“Get back here.”
After a brief moment of hesitation, Cassie made her way back toward June.
He then lifted her chin and said, “I’ll do everything I can to help you get revenge on Oscar if you please me tonight and surrender the rest of your life to me. What do you say?”
Cassie glared daggers at him. He’s clearly taking advantage of my predicament, but his offer is too tempting to refuse!
“Come on, think about how Oscar has humiliated you repeatedly. If you agree to be my kept woman, I will help you destroy him completely. Isn’t this a great deal?” June’s deep voice made it sound incredibly tempting.
Cassie remained silent as she contemplated on whether or not she should accept his offer.
She really wanted to get her revenge on Oscar, as she hated him as much as she loved him.
Had she been a bystander, she would never have agreed to June’s deal, as it involved sacrificing her honor and pride. Given her impressive family background and personal traits, she could easily marry a man of equal status. However, she was so consumed by hatred that it clouded her judgment.
“No deal?” June was in no rush. His goal was to rid Cassie of all her pride and have her become his obedient little pet that he could have his way with.
He liked Cassie for the feisty tigress that she was, but he much preferred her being a gentle and submissive kitten instead. She was his love at first sight, and he had given her everything he had. As such, he refused to let anyone steal her from him.
His love for her had turned into a form of possessiveness so twisted that he would rather clip her wings and keep her in his little cage where he could have her all to himself.
“That’s fine. I can always seek pleasure from other women anyway. I doubt if you can get your revenge on Oscar all by yourself, though!” June shrugged and acted all nonchalant about it.
He knew Cassie all too well and had waited patiently until her love for Oscar turned into hatred from being repeatedly humiliated. After that, all he needed to do was to provide that spark to ignite her flames of hatred.
Seeing as the timing was perfect, June pulled out his trump card by saying, “I’ll be returning to my country soon, so you no longer have to worry about me harassing you. Honestly, I’m not really that interested in ‘used goods’ and don’t fancy playing the role of a ‘recycle bin’ either. We’re done here. Goodbye.”
Cassie hesitated as she watched him start walking away from her. Moments later, she closed her eyes and said, “All right. I accept your offer.”
June broke into a gleeful grin upon hearing that.
If Cassie could be described as a proud peacock who thought too highly of herself, then June was a cunning wolf that had manipulated her into becoming his pet.
He then quickly grabbed her by the hand and dragged her into a nearby hotel. Upon entering the fancy presidential suite he had just booked, June pretended to be a gentleman and said, “Honey, just so you know, it’s still not too late to back out now. Once you become my woman, there will be no turning back.”
Cassie shot him a conflicted look before saying scornfully, “June, do you know what the biggest difference between you and Oscar is? He’s a lot more charming than you are and has a unique way of wooing women, while you’re just a mere copy of him at best. It’s true that I hate him, but that also means I will never forget him. You may have my body, but you will never have my heart. I will never love you, June.”
June stared deeply at her and let out a chuckle as he whispered into her ear, “You really are a feisty one, which is exactly how I like my women! I love dominating a woman who acts all disdainful toward me!”
Cassie grabbed his shirt collar and pulled him toward her. “Come on, then. Show this cheap wh*re how much you like her!” she said mockingly as their lips touched.
June broke into a mischievous grin and wrapped his arm around her waist while whispering into her ear, “I’ll do to you exactly what Oscar did earlier. I’m going to remove every trace of him left on your body and make you completely mine.”
The look in Cassie’s eyes grew icy-cold.
“You’d better make sure to deliver on your end of the deal, June. If you fail to destroy Oscar, I will show you what happens to those who mess with women.”
June simply responded by covering her mouth with one hand while undressing her with the other. The look in his eyes went from a gentlemanly gaze to that of a wild beast as he assaulted her mercilessly.
Already exhausted from doing it with Oscar for a few hours, Cassie simply went limp and lay there like a ragdoll while June had his way with her. By the time he was done, her eyes had lost all focus.
June gently caressed her sweaty cheeks as he said, “You still taste as good as I remember, Honey. As long as you obey me, I will let you enjoy all the pleasures money can buy.”
Cassie simply continued panting until she regained some of her strength before turning toward him. “I’m tired. You can f*ck off now.”
With a terrifying look in his eyes, June squeezed her face and said, “You know, Honey… Women should learn to be a little submissive every now and then if they want men to like them.”
Cassie smacked his hand off in disgust. “Get lost!”
“Don’t forget that you’re my pet now, Honey. Since when has a pet ever told its owner to get lost?” June said while biting down hard on her shoulder.
“You’re a f*cking pervert, June!” Cassie shouted with a vicious look on her face.
“We’ve known each other for so many years, and you only realize that now?” June didn’t even bother denying it. He then grabbed both her hands with one arm and leaned in close for a kiss before going at it again.
As dawn arrived, Oscar was panting heavily outside a tall building while calling out to Hugo and his men who were running toward him, “Did you manage to find my wife?”
Hugo shook his head. “Boss, we’ve mobilized all of our resources and practically turned the entire city upside down looking for her, but there’s no sign of her anywhere. Do you think she could’ve gone home?”
The sun is coming up, and everyone is tired after spending about five hours searching the city. I’ll never be able to find her if she’s deliberately hiding from me, so it’s pointless to keep this up any longer. She may not want to see me now, but she definitely will want to see Tony. I’ll just wait till she shows up after thinking it through.
With that in mind, Oscar told them, “You guys can head back for now.”
He could’ve easily had two bodyguards protect Amelia in secret, but he had promised her not to do so without her consent.
As he chose not to break that promise for fear of losing her trust, he had absolutely no idea where she was.
Oscar then went to a café in a nearby hotel for breakfast. He was staring blankly at the passing crowd on the street when his phone rang all of a sudden.
The sight of Amelia’s name on the caller ID got him so worked up that it took a few attempts just to hit the answer button.
“Amelia, is that you? Please don’t hang up, okay? Let me explain. What happened between Cassie and me isn’t what you think. We—”
Oscar anxiously tried to explain himself, but Amelia cut him off by saying, “Where are you right now, Oscar? I’ll go see you so we can talk about this.”
Oscar tensed up instantly upon hearing that. Amelia sounds way too calm about this… That must mean our marriage is in serious trouble!
Although he was afraid, he decided to tell her where he was anyway.
“Wait for me. I’ll be there in a minute,” Amelia said before ending the call.
Oscar tugged at his hair in frustration and stared at the screen of his phone as it went black.
Tiffany drove Amelia to the café. When Amelia got off the car, Tiffany asked, “Are you sure you can handle it by yourself? Do you want me to go in there with you?”
Amelia shook her head. “No, I’m good. You should go get something to eat if you’re hungry. I’ll take care of my problem with Oscar myself. He is technically in the wrong, so I’m going to make use of his guilt to achieve my goal. I don’t know if he’ll hate me if he discovers the truth someday, but it doesn’t matter anymore. Of course, I hope he’ll never learn the truth.” Amelia’s heart ached at the thought of her beloved man. After all, the truth sometimes hurts too much.
“All right. Be careful, then. Give me a call if anything happens.”
Amelia nodded and got out of the car.
She took a deep breath before heading over to the fancy hotel that Oscar was in.
Every step she took felt incredibly heavy, and she wished she never had to go in there.
