ELIAS.

“Sir, we need to go to the company. The meeting is about to start,” Mike’s voice reached my ears.

I groaned, my head throbbing as I squinted my eyes open. It felt like someone was hitting the back of my head with a hammer. I took too much whiskey last night.

After the wedding, I had been drowning myself in alcohol every day. Even though I had discovered Violet had never been faithful to me, I still couldn’t get rid of her because she had found out about my secret and was using it to blackmail me.

That witch... how did I not know she was so cunning?

I had no choice but to keep her around. However, that didn’t mean things between us would remain the same.

The past few days, I had been sleeping in the study after we returned to the villa hastily like we were being chased. I didn’t want to risk meeting my father and get another lecture from him.

He was already upset that I had embarrassed him on my wedding day.

It was a huge blow for me too... I thought the child would be my

    ELIAS. I frowned deeply, looking around the long, oval-shaped oak table. Apart from the representative, there was no one else who was new. I knew everyone in this room. I chuckled nervously, starting to think this man and Mr X had tricked me. Did they chew my money for nothing?“Sir, you must be joking. Mr X is not here yet. Could he perhaps be outside the room?” I asked, looking at the doors again. Was this a prank?The shareholders began to whisper among themselves, and Dad frowned, making my stomach churn with nerves. No… this wasn’t happening. I had spent millions of dollars to get this deal for Mr X to disappoint me at the last minute. How could he not show up after promising me?“Mr Hart, do I look like a joker to you? My boss told me to come here today. He’s already in this room,” the representative said. He didn’t look like his arrogant self today. At first, I thought it was because the chairman of the Hart group was here, but now that I think about it, he was being too

    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

    LUCAS.I got off my private jet and frowned deeply when I saw the convoy of cars waiting for me. I didn’t want to draw any attention to myself just yet. I began to walk toward them when my phone buzzed in my pocket. Glancing at the screen, I saw Caspian’s name flash on it and I raised an eyebrow as I swiped to answer the call. “As usual, you didn’t take long to call me. Were you staring at your phone to check when my line would be available?” I asked on the phone.A chuckle came through the speaker. “You’re finally back, Luca!” Caspian exclaimed, making me furrow my eyebrows. “The fuck. I told you not to call me that,” I growled, pinching the bridge of my nose. I didn’t like it when other people called me by that name. “Come on, Luca… it’s just like good old times!” Caspian replied, totally ignoring my words. Caspian was a very good friend of mine. I don’t know if I can call him my best friend. I never had best friends. But he was the closest thing I had to a best friend. Whe

    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 didn’t expect to run into Sophia the moment I returned to the city, but I did.Now she was lying in my bed, her skin a little pale, her eyes filled with sadness and a shell of herself.“Elias and I divorced two weeks ago,” she remarked in a low voice and although my face was devoid of any emotion, deep down, I was shocked.Elias and Sophia used to be so in love with each other. What happened for them to divorce?I wanted to ask more but I changed my mind, seeing how the topic was uncomfortable for Sophia.“You rest. I need to meet a few friends later on,” I said before leaving her room with the tray.Heading downstairs, I placed the tray in the kitchen and took out my phone. Dialling Wilson’s number.“I knew you wouldn’t cast me away the moment you returned!” His voice boomed over the speaker and I pinched the bridge of my nose.“Cut it out. I need you to investigate everything that happened to Sophia in the last three years that I’ve been gone,” I instructed.There was somet

    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.I blinked once. And then twice. Lucas’s words hung in the air and my jaw dropped to the floor. Wait… what? Did he just propose to me? It took a moment, but I soon came back to my senses and burst into laughter. I laughed so hard that my insides hurt. “Oh, Luca… when did you start telling jokes? Did you not only change but you tried to become funny too… haha,” I said in between laughter. I saw Lucas frown deeply, his face serious like he was one of those CEOs in short dramas. My laughter began to fade, awkwardness falling between us as I studied his expression. He didn’t look like he was joking. So, he really wanted to marry me?“You’re not serious, are you?” I asked, my voice low. Lucas glanced at me, a calm look on his face. I couldn’t tell what he was thinking because his face did nothing to betray his emotions. This was not the Lucas I knew. This one was a bit cold, distant even. Did something happen while he was away?“I’m serious,” he replied in his deep husky vo

    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

  • Caught In The CEO's Sweet Trap   Chapter 109~ The taste of a pregnant woman

    SOPHIA. My eyes fluttered open when I felt Lucas placing soft kisses on my jaw. He kissed my nose gently, then my eyes, before pressing his lips to mine.After looking into my eyes briefly, he buried his face in the crook of my neck before sucking lightly. My eyes rolled to the back of my head, and an erotic sigh escaped my lips as tingles coursed through my body. "You're done with your business?" I asked, my breathing becoming laboured as he continued to suck on a sweet spot on my neck. "Yes, I'm done. Now I'm here for a snack," he murmured, his hand sliding into my pajamas. "We are still celebrating today's win, you know." I arched an eyebrow. "And this is how you want to celebrate?" My body trembled when he cupped my core, his finger teasing my clit lightly. "Yes... I'm addicted to the taste of a pregnant woman. And right now, I want my daily dose."Before I could tell what was happening, Lucas removed my pajamas. He was about to climb on top of me when I pushed him down on

  • Caught In The CEO's Sweet Trap   Chapter 108~ Celebrating a win

    LUCAS. “Did you see the look on Elias’s face?” Carla said, and Sophia laughed, throwing her head back. Her eyes gleamed as she laughed heartily, the sound echoing around us. “I’m sure he thought no one could ever cheat on him,” she uttered. "It felt so good to see him at a loss for words. That's what he gets for being a jerk to me. It's not like there's anyone out there who chooses to have difficulties with having children. But he never failed to remind me every day that I was a woman who couldn't bear children." My heart clenched at the reminder. Whatever Elias was going through after the revelation was not painful enough. He deserved the worst for how he treated Sopia. She's a woman I wanted to treat like a Queen for the rest of my life. Knowing she was once mistreated by a man she trusted always fills me with regret. I shouldn't have left the country back then...We had all gone to the restaurant in the hotel to have lunch and a few drinks as a way to celebrate our first win.

  • Caught In The CEO's Sweet Trap   Chapter 107~ A death wish

    ELIAS. I stood at the altar, my heart rejoicing about how things were working in my favour so far. With Mr X coming to personally hand me a contract next week, my position in the family was as good as sealed. Today, I made sure all of the company’s shareholders had been invited to the wedding. My plan was to talk about my heir at the reception to impress the shareholders. The shareholders cared a lot about reputation, and a CEO who was a family man with good morals was their ideal type of leader. I could still hear Dad’s warning in my ears when we talked earlier today. “After today, don’t create any more scandals. We can’t afford to have any more stains if we are to chase Lucas out of the family. Don’t disappoint me.” It was the first time I saw a proud look on his face. Although he didn’t approve of Violet because of her background, he still tolerated her because she was carrying my heir. My child...Or so I thought. I didn’t expect her, of all people, to lie to me. When So

    SOPHIA. It had been a few days since I opened Dad’s safe, and it took everything in me to hold back and not confront the culprits. Having them arrested immediately would be going too easy on them. Elias, especially, since he loved stabbing people who were good to him in the back, I wanted him to know how it felt to be betrayed. As the officiant was giving his speeches, Lucas grabbed my hand, squeezing it in assurance, and I looked up at him, giving him a small smile. I got this. Compared to what Elias and Violet did to me, this was nothing. "Since there's no objection. I will proceed with..."“I object!” I yelled, getting to my feet. Gasps echoed around the venue. I could feel all eyes turn toward me as I slowly walked towards the altar. Elias glanced at me with wide eyes while Violet’s face turned pale as if she had been drained of all blood. “May I ask who you are and why you object to this wedding?” The officiant asked, clearly shaken by the interruption. He must have been

    VIOLET. “You look beautiful,” the makeup artist said after doing my makeup. A small smile crossed my lips. "Thank you. I've always wanted to be a bride."I glanced into the mirror, looking at the pretty face that looked back at me. Finally, the day of my wedding had arrived. Although Elias and I had already gotten married, this wedding was more of a confirmation of my position in the Hart family. As the first grandson of the chairman, Elias still had some sort of power in the Hart family. It’s the first heir who always inherits a family legacy anyway, so ninety percent of what Steven Hart owned would belong to Richard, and in the end, Elias would be the benefactor. I was having this wedding not to wait for the two old geezers to die, but for me to have an opportunity to get rid of all of them. What if I died first and ended up not getting anything? I needed to secure the future of my child. At least, he should have a different life from the one I had. As Mrs Hart and the mother

    SOPHIA. “I came as soon as possible,” Lucas said as he entered my office. I had been stuck in my chair for close to an hour, replaying the video I had found over and over again after copying it to my laptop. I looked up from the laptop, my eyes blurry from the tears I had been shedding. “You were right,” I said, sniffling. "Elias was involved. Dad found out what they were up to, but he still failed to prevent his death.”Lucas approached me, worry flitting through his eyes. He grabbed my hand and helped me up before sitting on my chair and placing me on his lap. He then coiled his arm around my waist, looking down at me with a gentle gaze.“I’m going to make him pay. I’ll destroy him,” I said, tears rolling down my cheeks. My father was betrayed by his friend just because he couldn’t give him a job he wasn’t qualified for. That man worked with Elias to get rid of my father… They even had the guts to stick around and try to take over the company. Dad was good to Elias, but how c

    SOPHIA. My heart pounded in my chest as I opened the envelope and pulled out the letter. It seemed it was written a week before Dad and Mom had the accident that claimed their lives. My dear sweet little angel,My eyes stung, and I sniffled to hold back my tears when I read the first line. This was so Dad… still calling me his little angel when I was a grown woman. I guess to him, I was still that little girl he taught how to walk or ride a bike... I was daddy's little girl till the very end.My chest constricted with pain. I miss you, Dad…If you’re reading this, it only means I’m no longer in this world, and you’re now ready to take over the family legacy. Don’t feel bad if it took some time for you to take over, it’s never too late to find the right path. I know you must be married now. With me gone, I trust you made the right decision and married the right man for you… The one who makes your heart skip a beat. If he looks at you the way I looked at your mother, then you’re in
