All Chapters of Falling For His Dirty Trap: Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

Hillary Optimistic—that’s the word that could sum up everything I feel right now. My life is pretty great. I got engaged a month ago, and I proudly wear my boyfriend—I mean, my fiancé’s—ring every day. I’m still not used to it. Jake and I have been dating for four years. The rude, bad boy I had a heated argument with on the very first day of class in my third year in college is now the same man I’m going to marry. It feels like a dream come true. Dragging my suitcases behind me, I step out of the airport and try to flag down a taxi that will take me “home.” Can I even call this place home? Boston feels like an entirely different world compared to Utah. Honestly, if someone showed me pictures of Boston and told me it was New York, I’d probably believe them. The tall buildings, the energy, the aesthetic views—it’s all so beautiful. No wonder Jake wanted us to settle here. Every time Jake and I talked about marriage, he’d mention how he wanted us to build a life in Boston. Now th

Then she gawks at my half-naked state like a creep. “Do you want me to get you a camera so you can take a picture, frame it, and hang it in your room?” I quirk an eyebrow. “I’m sorry,” she blurts quickly, walking over to the bed to drop the suit. “Emm… would you like me to make you coffee? Or tea? Or toast for breakfast? Or would you want me to—” My sigh cuts her off. I already don’t like her. Truth is, I had decided that long before meeting her, and meeting her only validated it. She’s all the things I hate—chatty, clumsy, loud, and full of pointless questions. “Coffee is self-destructive, and breakfast is for people without goals.” She stares at me like I’ve just

HillaryThe willpower it takes me to shut off my alarm and roll out of bed today could lift this entire penthouse. Jake must know how much I love him—and how badly I want to marry him—to put up with all of this.I’ve never had a problem waking up early. In fact, one of the best parts of my mornings back in college and in Utah was running at dawn and grabbing my favorite cup of coffee.But not today. I barely slept four hours. I was up all night working after Ben yelled at me for ruining some documents, and my ankle hurts three times worse than it did on Monday. A deep purple bruise is spreading, but I don’t even care.I drag myself into the bathroom, brush my teeth quickly. Today is Friday—Rhiannon’s last day of coaching me, covering for me, and my first full week completed without crashing out.My self-respect is bruised, but my bank account is glowing.Rhia has been avoiding me ever since I caught her humping her boss a few weeks before her wedding, but honestly, I don’t care.
