ARELLI.

I threw my head back in laughter as I watched the interview.

“Jax, have you seen this? This woman is the perfect pawn I could ever find,” I said, my lips curling into a wicked smirk.

Jax nodded. “You’re right, Miss. Violet Miller is doing her job well.”

I continued to watch the interview as Violet said whatever I asked her to. A few days ago, she went to the hospital to have an abortion. She was ruthless. Who gets rid of their unborn child without hesitation just like that?

However, her resolve to destroy Sophia no matter what she lost in the process was what made me like her.

She was going to do all the dirty work while I waited in the background for Lucas to finally be mine.

Jax’s phone buzzed in his pocket, and he excused himself to answer the call.

“Miss Bennett, there’s a response from the Adams Group. Sophia Adams plans to hold a press conference this evening. If she has a way to deal with her company’s crisis, she might manage to flip this to her favour,” Jax repo

    VIOLET. I kept staring at my phone, the palms of my hands getting sweatier with every minute that passed.So many emotions were coursing through me at the moment. Anxiety, stress, fear and anticipation. I couldn't wait to get a call from Mike telling me that Sophia was no more. That bitch had gotten on my nerves for too damn long. Even Arelli agreed that she would be better off not existing in this world. That was the only way we would all have peace and achieve all our goals. Sophia was the obstacle that needed to be taken out of the way. "My My, what's gotten you so worked up?" I raised my head when Arelli's voice reached my ears. "I didn't hear you come in. What time did you come back?" I asked. She smiled and sat on the couch next to me. "Just now. You were so engrossed in your thoughts. I'm sorry if I startled you."I shook my head. "No, you didn't. I'm just nervous, that's all." "Nervous? About what?" "Well, I asked someone to help me get rid of Sophia. Now I'm waiting

  • Caught In The CEO's Sweet Trap   Chapter 137~ Who sent you?

    SOPHIA. The culprit met my eyes, and his eyes widened in shock. His face turned pale like he had seen a ghost, terror flashing through his eyes. Well, he did stab me earlier, so it was strange to see me standing before him, completely unharmed. "Y-You... H-How are you still alive? I clearly killed you! I stabbed you multiple times just like I was instructed!" He shrieked, his words making me clench my fists. "Those wounds should have killed you. How are you still ok?""Who sent you?" I questioned through gritted teeth. "Who tried to kill my unborn babies?" He stabbed me too many times that I could still replay the moment in my mind. What if I hadn't been wearing the protective vest? I would have died a horrible and painful death. These people were too cruel. The thought of my unborn triplets' lives being taken before they even had a chance to live made my blood boil. How evil could someone be to go as far as trying to kill a pregnant woman? I couldn't help but wonder... were th

    SOPHIA. Earlier today, Lucas made me wear a vest. It was a bit heavy and uncomfortable; however, no matter how much I complained, he didn’t let me have my way this time. “Please endure it, love. Just for now and until we deal with Arelli. I can’t seem to shake off the bad feeling I have,” he said. "To be honest, I would rather you stay home and chat with Dad. But since you want to go to work, I won't stop you from doing what you want to do."I sighed, looking at the vest I was wearing. It made me look fatter than I already was, but it didn’t seem strange since I had already gained some weight due to the multiple pregnancy I was carrying. It was only at this moment that I realised why Lucas made me wear this vest before I left the villa today. I was lying on the ground, expecting to feel pain and bleed to death. But as I lay on the ground with a hand over my stomach, I realized there was no pain or bleeding. I just felt intense pressure from the sheer force of the stabs I had recei

    LUCAS. I sat across from Caspian in my office, my eyebrows furrowed as we discussed our next course of action.He had come to see me the next day, narrating how he had received a threatening message just after he sent Carla off the previous night. It seemed we were facing a formidable foe. They seemed to know everything about us, and yet, we had no idea who they were. Which was very dangerous for all of us. At first, I suspected Richard. I mean, he even went as far as adopting a child and lying about it just to make sure he got the majority of the Hart's legacy. So, I thought he was the one who killed my mother, and was now targeting everyone around me to stop me from finding out. However, he wasn't smart enough to pull that off by himself. There was someone who was playing with us, and I wasn't going to rest until I found them and made them pay. Caspian had just told me how Carla was now being used to make him stop digging into my mother's murder case. As it turned out, he was be

    CASPIAN. I sat across from Carla, wondering what the hell I was doing here. When Lucas called earlier, he asked me to take the guys to have dinner, but when I heard Carla was there, a certain part of me that I couldn’t fathom actually didn’t want to call the other guys. So, I kept the news of the free dinner to myself and came over here. I glanced at Carla as she ate her food. Now that we were here, something occurred to me. Why did I not want to tell the other guys to come over? Could it be that I wanted to be alone with her?My heart skipped a beat. No way… why would I want that? I knew better than to indulge myself in…“So, what happened to your family? How long have you been by yourself?” I suddenly asked, and Carla visibly stilled. Her eyes slightly widened, and I had a sudden thought that I had asked something that I shouldn’t. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t–”“I don’t remember,” Carla replied, glancing at me. “I just woke up one day and found myself in an orphanage. I don’t kn

    CARLA. ##FLASHBACK TO THE KIDNAPPING INCIDENT##Everything happened so fast. One moment, Sophia and I were looking at cute baby clothes, picturing how the triplets would look in them, and the next, a tall figure was standing behind Sophia, and I saw her lose consciousness. "Ah-"I barely managed to get a scream out before a long needle was injected into the side of my neck, and the world spun before I lost consciousness as well. I seemed to have a dream, but I didn’t know what it was about. Maybe my childhood, I wasn’t sure. There was a fire, and I stood in the middle of it, crying for my mother. "Mommy? Where are you? I'm scared!" I cried out, but my little voice was swallowed by the huge flames. The heat was intense, everything around me was engulfed in flames, and I was so scared, it felt like I was right there, experiencing the traumatising ordeal. I clenched my fists, trying to escape, but I failed, my legs feeling like they were made of lead. Why couldn’t I get away from t
