LUCAS.

“You too, Sophia,” Dad’s voice came.

I arched an eyebrow, curiosity creeping into me. What did he want to talk about with such seriousness?

Sophia and I shared a look. I laced our fingers and led her to the two-seater couch where Gregory and his daughter had been sitting earlier.

“Is something wrong, Dad?” I asked.

He stared at me without saying anything for a little while.

I started getting worried. “Dad?”

He sighed heavily. “It’s such a relief that you and Sophia found each other in the end. I would have died a guilty man had you married that vicious woman.”

“Dad, you don’t need to feel guilty. Everything worked out in the end–”

“No, son. I used to force that woman on you, not knowing she was of bad character. How could I have been so blind? I know I just wanted you to move on from your heartbreak, but I should have done a proper research about the man I called a friend and his daughter.”

“You’re not the only one, Dad. I was also a bad judge of character. They fooled u

  • Caught In The CEO's Sweet Trap   Chapter 151~ The news

    ELIAS.“Here’s your lunch. The boss said as long as you keep quiet, he will take care of you,” the warder who always brings my secret meals said. “Did he say anything else? I need to get out of here,” I replied. The warder scoffed. “Are you aware that you’re in here for murder, attempted murder, and kidnapping?” “I already told you. I wasn’t behind the recent accident that Sophia and Lucas were in! Someone is just using me to hide their crime! Clearly, those two have too many enemies if a lot of people want them dead,” I uttered, anger bubbling up in my chest. “I had already admitted to the other charges, but for that one, I never will because I wasn’t behind it. They just made it look similar to Sophia's parents' accident.” I glanced at the warder and continued, “Tell my father he needs to find a way to get me out of this dump. I can’t live like this.”The warder sneered. “Do you think you're still a billionaire heir? You should be grateful for what you have right now. Trust me, y

  • Caught In The CEO's Sweet Trap   Chapter 150~ My bride

    LUCAS. I had wanted to see my bride before leaving for the venue, however, Carla and Alice proved to be very difficult bodyguards. I mean, there was nothing wrong with seeing MY wife and giving her a kiss before I left, like I always did. The myth that seeing the bride before the wedding would bring bad luck never made sense to me. Especially that, legally, Sophia was already my wife. The wedding was just a ceremony meant to solidify our union. It was more of a declaration to the entire world that I belonged to her, and she belonged to me, and no man, or woman, should try to put asunder. My convoy of Rolls-Royce cars arrived at the venue in time to find the reporters already stationed outside. They were given the go-ahead to livestream the entire event for those who were unable to attend to serve as witnesses to Lucas and Sophia’s love story. “Damn, are you going to have an interview?” Caspian asked when we stepped out of the cars. Damian and Adrian stepped out of their cars too

    SOPHIA. “How about I pamper you tonight, my love?” Lucas’s voice reached my ears as I stood by the mirror, removing my clothes. “Since we won't be having any parties on the night before our wedding, I thought of doing something for you still,” he added. I arched an eyebrow. “And what does the pampering package include? I already went to the spa with the girls earlier today, but I wouldn’t mind being spoiled by my husband.” Lucas smirked, stepping closer with a loving look in his eyes. “Well, first, I’ll give you a body scrub, and then I’ll give you a slow massage. I’ve prepared everything.” A soft chuckle escaped my lips. “Nice… sounds relaxing, baby. You must know though, the massage shouldn’t be an excuse for you to get some tonight. Remember, we agreed to wait until our honeymoon.” “It’s not like we’ve not done it before,” Lucas said. “We can do it tonight, and do it tomorrow too.” He reached my side and wrapped his arms around me from behind. A smile curled on my lips, and

  • Caught In The CEO's Sweet Trap   Chapter 148~ Make things right

    LUCAS. I frowned when we found a familiar car in the driveway. “What the hell is he doing here?” I practically growled, anger flaring through me. The car belonged to none other than my brother, Richard Hart. He had never been to my house, and I hadn’t heard from him ever since Elias got arrested. I had been investigating how they ended up lying that Elias was their real son. But so far, everything I found suggested Olivia had been pregnant at the same time as my mother. There were even medical records showing that she had been going to her doctor's appointments and scan images. Could it be that she had been pregnant but somehow, the baby died, so they looked for a replacement?It didn’t make any sense, so I told Caspian’s men to keep digging into that matter. “Maybe he has something to say,” Sophia said. “I don’t have anything to say to him,” I said through gritted teeth. He had always hated me since I was young, and I had long since moved on from thinking we could ever have

  • Caught In The CEO's Sweet Trap   Chapter 147~ Cake tasting and shopping

    SOPHIA. “Mmmm, this is so good! More! I want more! I’ll go crazy!” “Here’s more cake for the pregnant momma,” Elena, the owner of the cake shop, said, handing me a slice of rich chocolate cake. I grinned like a child who had been given a toy. “Thank you! This cake is so good! I can’t stop eating!” I remarked, and then I suddenly frowned when I looked at myself. “I think this is my last one. I don’t want to gain a lot of weight.” “You said the last one was the last piece of cake you would eat,” Carla teased. I pouted. “You can’t blame me when Elena is such a great baker. The triplets can’t get enough of it.” Lucas let out a chuckle. “Eat all the cake you want, my love. Don’t worry about your body, I'll still love my food even if it has a lot of meat in it.” A few whistles reached my ears, making my face burn. I slapped his thigh playfully. “Mind what you say in front of our friends,” I whispered. We had all taken a day off to go to one of the best cake shops in the city. Our w

  • Caught In The CEO's Sweet Trap   Chapter 146~ It's over

    LUCAS. Sophia gasped, glancing at me. “What just happened?” A few minutes earlier, we had watched how Arelli was shoved into the back of the police car and driven away. Everything was broadcast on national TV. Everyone around her, including herself, was shocked, to say the least. Arelli probably didn't think that a day when she would be dragged away by the police would come.It must have been her most embarrassing moment. Her plan to ruin me with the news of her lawsuit backfired. And that was because I was a few steps ahead of her. She was a threat to my wife, and I wasn't going to have a repeat of what happened a few days ago just because my guard was down.Sophia's security was my priority, this was why I made sure I beat Arelli at her own game. The call I received when Sophia got stabbed almost ruined me. I was so worried and afraid that I had lost her, even though I knew she was wearing protective armour.The armour was man-made after all... anything could happen. What if it
