His Beloved Mate novel Chapter 2

As soon as Cassie walked out of the bathroom, she could see two people entering the room.

Holding Adam's hand, Alice gazed proudly at her.

Actually, Adam was already planning to break up with Cassie that day. Ever since she started writing books, she didn't have much time to be with him. Compared to Alice's frequent care, Cassie was much colder to him.

Besides, the only reason why he chased after her was because of the bet he made with his roommate. Obviously, he won that bet.

He actually liked Alice better. Besides, she was even more considerate than Cassie.

Adam actually refused to attend the annual meeting with Cassie because Alice wanted to go. This was why he said that he had other business matters to attend to. He came into this room with guilt rising in his chest,

but the moment he saw the scene right before him, he gritted his teeth in anger.

At the moment, Cassie was only wearing a bathrobe. Hickeys were displayed all over her neck and collarbone, giving him a hint of what had happened last night.

He looked at her in disbelief before gazing at his surroundings.

The dress and underwear that she had worn last night were still displayed on the ground. Without thinking, his palm fell on her face.

"Shameless!"

The impact made Cassie fall onto the ground.

A searing pain went through her cheek.

Alice hid her smirk as she rushed to Cassie's side. "Cassie, are you okay?"

She pretended to glare at the man. "What the hell? How could you hit her, Adam?"

Cassie had never been slapped her entire life. Her childhood years were spent being spoiled by her own parents. Tears streamed down her cheeks and fell on the carpet.

He had actually hit her... How dare him!

He slapped her.

When she heard Alice call him by his name, she froze.

Adam?

Cassie gazed at the pair in astonishment.

When did they become so intimate with another?

As if he could read her mind, Adam cleared his throat. "I was actually guilty when I came here to break up with you, but seeing that you've decided to sleep with another man, I guess we're even. We're over. Alice and I are in love now."

There was absolutely no guilt in Adam's voice. It was as if what he said made perfect sense.

Cassie felt sick all over as she clutched her stomach. She used to be so eloquent, but now, she couldn't even string a few words together.

She gritted her teeth as she gazed at the pair in disgust. "Get out!" she choked out.

With a mocking smile, he held Alice's hand. "Let's go."

Alice glanced at Cassie wearily. "Adam, I actually have something to tell her. Do you mind waiting for me outside?"

He smiled lovingly. "Okay, baby."

Once Adam had left, Alice crossed her arms and smirked at the fallen woman. "Cassie, how does it feel when your most precious thing has been taken away from you?" She cackled. "You can speak now."

The pride in her heart didn't allow her to cry. Cassie clenched her fists and stood up, sneering at her so-called best friend. "You tell me. What's the feeling of picking up someone's garbage?" she snarled.
