All Chapters of Falling For The Billionaire’s Trap: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

  Since everyone else had gone out, I busied myself dusting the shelves in the living room.  I was listening to some instrumental music when the telephone suddenly rang.  I quickly wiped my hands and answered it.  “Hello?”  “Miss Cassie?”  I recognized the voice immediately.  “Darren?”  Relief filled his voice.  “Thank goodness.”  “Are you at the mansion?”  “Um… yes.”  “I need a favor, I’m in a bit of trouble.”  My heart leapt. “Oh my God, are you being chased by loan sharks?”  “What? No, I’m stuck in traffic.”  “Oh…”   Usually when someone says that in my town it means their credit was due. I guess it’s different here.  “I urgently need some do

  The day of the scholarship results finally arrived.   The acceptance letter was still clutched tightly in my hands.   Even after reading it nearly twenty times I still couldn’t believe it.   “I got in…”   A smile slowly spread across my face.   No… Not just got in. I had ranked eighth among thousands of applicants who took the scholarship examination.   Eighth!   I hugged the letter against my chest before spinning around my tiny bedroom.   “Mom…” Tears gathered in my eyes. “I did it.”   If only she were here…   She would’ve been happier than I was.   …   Nearly three weeks had passed since the incident at the company.   Since that day… Azrael and I barely spoke. I mean we didn’t really speak that much to begin with, but this time it was zero words to each other.   Sometimes I would catch a glimpse of him leaving for work while I was wate

  The rain continued to pour outside. After taking turns using the bathroom, we were finally getting ready to sleep.  I stood in front of the mirror, quietly drying my damp hair with a towel.  The room was so quiet that I could hear the rustling of papers every time Azrael flipped another page.  Curiosity got the better of me.  I peeked outside.  He was sitting comfortably on the edge of the bed, wearing a pair of black lounge pants and a plain white shirt. A stack of documents rested on his lap while his reading glasses sat neatly on the bridge of his nose.  Even when he is just sitting and reading he looks extremely attractive.  I finished drying my hair before carefully opening the bathroom door. The moment I stepped out… He looked up. Our eyes met. His gaze slowly traveled over me.   I gulped nervously.  I instinctively lowered my head. Compared to the beautiful wo

  For the first time. I woke up before my alarm even rang.  The moment my eyes opened, excitement immediately washed away the last traces of sleep I had.  Today was the first day of my college life.  I sat upright on my bed, staring at the neatly folded uniform hanging beside my closet.  A bright smile slowly spread across my face. “I really made it…”  It still felt surreal.  Just a few months ago, going to college was nothing more than an impossible dream. Now… I was actually going.  I quickly got dressed.  The girls’ uniform was elegant yet simple, there was a crisp white long-sleeved blouse tucked into a navy-blue pleated skirt that reached just above the knees. And it was accentuated with a deep burgundy ribbon that was tied neatly beneath the collar, while a fitted navy blazer embroidered with Hail University’s golden crest rested over my shoulders.

  I remained on the cold marble floor for a few seconds, too stunned to move.  The girl stood over me, glaring as coffee dripped from the front of her white uniform. Two other girls immediately rushed to her side.  “Oh my God, Klare!”  “Your uniform!”  “What is wrong with you?” one of them snapped at me.  I hurriedly pushed myself up.  “I-I’m so sorry!” I bowed repeatedly. “I wasn’t looking where I was going.”  Without thinking, I reached for my handkerchief.  “Please… let me help.” I gently tried to wipe the coffee from her blazer.  “Don’t touch me!” She shrieked so loudly that I instinctively stepped back.  “Get your filthy hands off me!”  “I-I’m sorry…”  She slapped my hand away before glaring at me fr
