All Chapters of Falling For The Billionaire’s Trap: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

  “So why did you suddenly think of coming here?”  I looked up at him.  “Oh…umm… Sofia invited me to a party.” I answered carefully. “She said I needed to buy a dress. The seniors are throwing it.”  His footsteps slowed.  “A party?”  I nodded.  “Sofia insisted I come.” I muttered.  For some reason, the atmosphere around him suddenly changed. He stopped walking altogether and I almost bumped into his back.  When he turned around, his sharp eyes settled on me.  “Have you already picked a dress?”  I blinked before shaking my head.  “N-No.”  “I was actually planning to wear one of my old dresses.” I smiled awkwardly. “It’s still in good condition. The clothes here are just too expensive.”  His brows drew together.

  “What the hell is she doing here?!”  The sharp voice echoed through the hall.  The warmth that had begun settling inside me vanished instantly.  I slowly turned around.  Klare was marching toward us, her heels clicking loudly against the polished floor. Her face was twisted with undisguised anger, and several girls hurried after her.  “I knew it.” She laughed mockingly. “You really have no shame.”  The conversations around us slowly died down as more and more students looked in our direction.  My fingers tightened around my clutch.  “I didn’t come here to cause trouble,” I said quietly.  Klare stopped a few feet away from me before looking me up and down. Her lips curled into a sneer.  “No?” She gestured toward my dress. “Then leave! I don’t want to see you here.” Her voice rose loud e

  Everything happened so fast that my mind struggled to catch up.  The man writhed in pain, his face contorted as Azrael’s hand tightened mercilessly around his wrist.  “Agh! Let go!”  His voice cracked as he tried to yank himself free, but it was useless.  Azrael didn’t even seem to be using all his strength. He simply looked at the man with cold, emotionless eyes. Then, in a terrifyingly calm voice, he asked,  “Do you want me to break it?”  The air around us seemed to freeze.mMy breath caught. The man’s face was drained of color hearing what he had just said.  “W-What?”  Azrael tilted his head slightly.  “Your hand.” His grip tightened another fraction. A horrible cracking sound echoed.  The man screamed.  “I asked…” Azrael repeated quietly, “…if you want me to

“I’m sorry.” The words left my mouth almost immediately as I took a step back. “I wasn’t looking where I was going.” I added. He merely glanced at me for a few seconds before brushing an invisible speck of dust from the sleeve of his uniform. “Tch.” He scoffed. Without saying another word, he walked past me. “…” What the… Seriously? He didn’t even acknowledge my apology. Just as he was about to disappear down the hallway, I hurried after him. “Wait!” Before I could think twice, my hand instinctively grabbed his arm. The moment I did. He stopped walking. Slowly… His gaze dropped to my hand that was clutching his sleeve. Then it traveled up to my face. Those icy golden eyes were so sharp they made my heart skip. I immediately let go. Feeling a bit embarrassed. He didn’t talk. He just stared at me. I couldn’t help but stare back. For some reason, his brows creased as he looked at me intently. His eyes wandered all over my face and I suddenly felt conscious. “

  “Cassie?”  I blinked.  “Huh?”  Sofia was already staring at me suspiciously.  “You’ve been spacing out for the past five minutes.”  “Oh…Sorry.”  She plopped down beside me on the couch and dramatically threw a pillow onto her lap.  I was about to go home earlier but then I bumped into Sofia on the street. And the next thing I know, I was taken back to her place.  I kept replaying Kai’s words inside my head.  “Be careful.”  “He doesn’t believe in love or commitment.”  “He’ll only play with your heart.”  No matter how hard I tried, those words refused to leave me alone.  “Ugh, this is such a headache.” I groaned, running a hand through my hair.  “Headache…” Sofia suddenly repeated th
