SOPHIA.

I froze.

My heart slammed so hard against my ribcage that I could hear it in my ears.

“I’m sure you’ve never heard of me, right?” Her sharp voice reached my ears.

She had a smile on her face, but her words were laced with a hidden mocking tone. Before I could reply, she beat me to it, adding, “Luca, don’t tell me you never told Sophia about us. She looks so surprised.”

A flare of fierce jealousy washed over me. How dare she call him by that name? Only I could call him Luca.

“Arelli…” Lucas said through gritted teeth. “Mind the way you speak to my wife… You and I were over a long time ago. And you know you’re not allowed to call me that.”

Arelli turned to look at Lucas, a sad look flitting through her eyes before glancing at her father. “Dad, see what I told you? This is why I needed you here to help me pump some sense into Lucas. I’m the only woman he can marry.”

The elderly man chuckled awkwardly.

“Lucas, I’m sorry about this. I spoiled my daughter so much. There was li

    CARLA. Hours earlier…“What did you say? Carla is carrying my brother’s child?” I froze. Silence fell upon the place, and my heart raced so hard, I could hear it in my ears. “Carla? Big sis? What’s going on?” Alice asked, approaching us. “Alice… hi,” Sophia said awkwardly. “Um… Carla, I think you should answer Alice.” I glanced at Alice, and I caught the reflection of my face in the mirror. It was as red as a tomato. “I guess I am carrying Caspian’s child,” I said, my stomach churning. How could I be pregnant?I still couldn’t believe it, and yet, Sophia was still holding the stick with the two red lines that kept glaring at me and giving me a headache. This wasn’t supposed to happen. I thought we were careful. How could we make such a mistake?“OH. MY. FREAKING. GOD!” Alice screamed after a few seconds of stunned silence. Her eyes lit up, and she stared at me like I was one of the seven wonders of the world. “Carla, you’re so naughty. I know my brother’s in love with you,

  • Caught In The CEO's Sweet Trap   Chapter 207~ A Dad

    CASPIAN. “Well done, son. I told you it was a good idea to have Lucas Hart as your friend,” Dad said, looking at the tablet displaying Gray Foods' portfolio. “This is what I’ve been saying. Form relationships with purpose. Getting close to Lucas was the right call.”The stock price of Gray Foods was now stabilising after weeks of being in the red zone. And that was because we partnered with Savvy Tech to help us create a few apps for the company for easier interaction with customers. I furrowed my eyebrows at Dad’s words. “I’m not his friend because of that.” “Whatever the case, he helped us a lot. Do you think he would have helped you if he wasn’t your friend?” Dad said, glancing up from the tablet. I clenched my fists. This was why I didn’t want to ask Lucas for help. Dad may have purposefully laid the foundation for us to be close friends, but I chose him as my friend and brother. I didn’t get close to him because of Dad’s ambitions. I genuinely liked having him as a friend

    CARLA. It had been weeks since I heard from him. Not that I was surprised. It was a known fact that he would eventually give in to his parents' wishes. Especially after that scandal almost crippled his company. There hadn’t been any official announcement yet, but since he didn’t look for me like he had promised, it means he had decided to marry that woman. The familiar squeeze in my chest made me gulp, the lump in my throat refusing to go down. This sucked. It had been weeks, and I still couldn’t forget about him. “Earth to Carla…. Hello?” Sophia’s voice brought me back to the present. I glanced at her and forced a smile. “Did you even hear what I said?”“Um… what did you say?” I asked. She rolled her eyes. “Are you still thinking about Caspian?”I shook my head. “No, I’m not. Why would I think about him?”“Yeah, and I’m not very pregnant,” she uttered, shaking her head. My eyes fell to her huge baby bump. It was so round and looked painfully heavy. Since she was carrying tri

    CASPIAN. When Bruno told me that Carla and Brian had gone to have lunch together after the auction event, I immediately dropped everything and rushed over to the restaurant. I sat in a corner, secretly watching them to see if there was something going on between them. But from what I could see, Carla was uncomfortable, and she looked like she didn’t want to be there. I smirked, knowing there was no way that bastard was her man. She didn't blush or smile at him the way she did when she was with me. In fact, she looked like she would take the chance to leave at any moment. I stepped in when I saw Brian grab her arm, trying to stop her from leaving. And then I learnt that he was her ex… my blood boiled with jealousy at the thought of her being with Brian, even though it's something that happened in the past. I wanted to be the only man in her life...I planned to make her change her mind about us today, however, my phone rang and I received disturbing news from Mateo. “Sir… there’s

    CARLA. “Brian Fletcher, how dare you touch my girl?” Caspian's words replayed in my head like a love song on repeat. My heart did a flip, making me bite my lower lip, my heart fluttering like a hummingbird's wings. Dammit. Why was I acting like a lovesick puppy? So what if he called me his girl?Yeah… it was hot. But so what? It wouldn’t change anything between us. However, I couldn’t deny the fact that seeing him here made warmth spread through my heart. Was he not going to give up, despite me telling him that I had someone?Or perhaps he never believed me in the first place. “Your girl?” Brian sneered, arching an eyebrow. His hold on my arm tightened, and I hissed, glaring at him. “Yeah,” Caspian said casually before grabbing my other arm and yanking me close. “She’s mine.” Brian pulled my other arm, his fingers digging painfully into my skin. “No, she’s not. The last time I checked, you were getting engaged.” The air around us turned frosty. I glanced at the two men and no

  • Caught In The CEO's Sweet Trap   Chapter 203~ My girl

    CARLA. I steeled my heart and walked away from Caspian. It took my all to not look back when all I wanted to do was listen to him… to believe that things between us could work out. But could they?I had been in this situation before. In the past, when I dated Brian, his family didn’t accept our relationship. His mother did all she could to break us apart. And of course, Brian didn’t stand up for me. I tried my best to be strong, but what was the point of fighting for the relationship when the one who was supposed to be protecting you wasn’t doing anything?He told me to be patient and that I would be accepted in the long run. But the insults became too much… Being constantly reminded that I wasn’t good enough... being looked down upon because of my background. And Brian did nothing to protect me from those insults. He just wasn't man enough, or maybe he couldn't stand up to his family back then. Eventually, I ended things after realising I couldn’t rely on anyone in this life.
