Caught In The CEO's Sweet Trap

SOPHIA. I should have known better that I wouldn’t be able to escape. Especially when my ex-husband, Elias Hart, was watching my every move like a hawk. After what felt like an eternity but was only a few hours, night had finally fallen and I was ready to execute my escape plan. Again.It has been two weeks since my divorce from Elias Hart was processed. Two weeks since he locked me up after he realised I had signed the divorce papers and submitted them to the local court. Elias and I had been married for three years. However, I caught him in our matrimonial bed with my best friend, Violet Miller. Instead of being sorry, all Elias said was, “She’s pregnant. I can’t abandon her. I want a divorce to give my child a complete family.” My heart clenched with pain. Tears rolled down my cheeks, my stomach churning at the betrayal. I never expected the closest people to me to stab me in the back like this. Elias was my first love and Violet had been my best friend since childhood, yet

SOPHIA. My stomach churned when I found Elias and my best friend in our matrimonial bed. I could hear their loud moans from downstairs. Even though I took slow steps, ascending the stairs slowly, my heart kept sinking little by little the closer I got, knowing I would find my husband in our bed with another woman. Minutes later, he was shoving divorce papers in my face and forcing me to sign them. There was no sign. There was no warning. I never once imagined the man I loved would one day betray me like this. This felt like a nightmare. “Sign the divorce papers, Sophia! I want to marry Violet! She’s carrying my baby!” Elias’s cold voice sent a chill down my spine. I glanced at the paper that he had thrown my way, my heart clenching in pain. “And if I don’t?” I replied defiantly, not wanting to go down without a fight. Elias’s eyes flickered with anger. He ran a hand through his hair before coming towards me and grabbing my neck. “Don’t test my limits, Sophia. It’s either you

LUCAS. I slammed my fist on the table, anger bubbling up in my chest at what I had just read. So, Elias only married Sophia to use her, not because he loved her. To think I sat through dinner with this type of person fills me with disgust. I’ve never really been a fan of my brother or his son because they treated me like an enemy in the past but I didn’t think Elias’s character was this bad. At least I thought he really loved Sophia and made her happy. That's why...“Is this all?” I asked Wilson while waving the file at him. Something seemed to be missing but I couldn’t put my finger on it. After having dinner, I got a call from Wilson and he told me he had found the information I needed.This was why I liked Wilson. He was swift and reliable when it came to getting stuff done.So, before I drove back to my villa, I quickly passed through the office to see Wilson and see what he found about Sophia.My blood boiled when I realised what kind of dick Elias had been to Sophia.Not on

SOPHIA. The sun's rays flitting into the room woke me up the next day. I squinted my eyes, stretching and still feeling a little sleepy after having spent almost the whole night tossing and turning in bed. Lucas gave me some time to think about his offer and I couldn’t sleep because I spent time thinking about our conversation. Finally, I had made a decision after weighing my options. What more did I have to lose?I quickly got up from bed and freshened up before going downstairs to look for Lucas. As I descended the stairs, I felt my heart racing a little faster than normal. Was I really doing this?Just as I stepped down the last step, I almost bumped into someone in a neat, tailor-made black suit. I looked up and found Lucas staring down at me with that same serious look on his face. He towered over me, but my view from down here was spectacular. God knew what he was doing when he was creating this man. He was so fine.In this proximity, I could smell his manly cologne that

SOPHIA.We were back at the villa and although I knew I shouldn't let Elias affect me, I had been in a bad mood since I saw him. I hated him for cheating on me and locking me up against my will but I couldn’t deny the other part of me that still longed for him. And I hated myself for it. “Are you ok?” Lucas’s voice reached my ears and I looked up to find him staring at me with concern flitting in his blue eyes. Was I ok?I wasn’t. I didn’t think I would be able to face Elias at the party. Back there on the road, he didn’t even know it was me but I was so affected, I couldn’t stop trembling. “Can I not go to the party?” I asked Lucas, biting my lower lip. “I don’t want to see Elias.” Something flashed through Lucas’s eyes but it was so quick I couldn’t make out what it was. “Are you afraid he would ask why I’m going with you?” He asked in a dangerously low voice. “Do you regret marrying me after seeing him again?”My eyes rounded at Lucas. “What? No… I don’t. I just don’t want t
