Caught In The CEO's Sweet Trap Chapter 21~ An agreement
SOPHIA.“Mr Hart sent me to deliver this,” a young man who seemed to be in his mid-twenties said, handing me a bouquet of red and gold premium roses. I was in the middle of making a plan to take control of the Adams Group when Sarah, the housekeeper, told me I had a visitor. When I descended the stairs, I found that it was Wilson Adler, Lucas’s assistant. He had medium dark curly hair and dark eyes and he wore glasses. In a neat three-piece gray suit, he stood in the living room holding the bouquet of flowers, ready to give them to me. I raised an eyebrow as I received the bouquet and brought the roses to my nose, taking a whiff. This was so sweet… I had never received flowers before. My heart couldn’t help but skip a beat. “Thank you for delivering the flowers. I’ll call him to thank him,” I said, smiling as I held the flowers like they were the greatest treasure I had ever had. I never knew it felt so good to receive flowers and it made my stomach flutter with butterflies.

SOPHIA. I frowned, seeing none other than Violet and Olivia walk into the restaurant. Since when had those two been so close?Our eyes locked and they seemed surprised to see me. Violet suddenly smiled. She hooked an arm around Olivia’s and approached us. “Sophia, what are you doing here? Do you know that Elias has been looking for you like crazy?” Violet’s fake worried voice came and I sneered. What a good best friend she was. So, she’s here acting like she’s in support of me getting back with Elias? We both know she’s fake… A green snake in the grass. All this while, she had been concerned about my marriage, always asking how things between Elias and I were going. Little did I know that she was actually just a monitoring spirit. All her smiles, her concern, her care- they were all fake!I glanced at her, arching an eyebrow. “Are you sure you want him to find me? Shouldn’t you be happy that I escaped? You can have the cheater all to yourself. The two of you deserve each other.

SOPHIA. Have you ever kissed someone and felt a sudden jolt of electricity course through you the moment your lips touched?That’s what I felt when I kissed Lucas in an attempt to hide his face from Violet. Fisting his collar in a tight grip, I pressed my lips to his, trying to ignore the way my core clenched with something I didn’t want to name.Lucas froze, not expecting me to kiss him but a second later, he cupped the back of my head and deepened the kiss. My breath hitched at the intensity of it all– he kissed me gently, yet deeply and I felt my stomach flip. Oh my God!I had never felt such intense tingles in my life before… Lucas placed his other hand on my lower back, pulling me closer and I arched my back. The space between us disappeared as I melted into the kiss, kissing him back with equal intensity. I resisted the urge to clamp my legs shut as he kissed me, my heart hammering in my chest as he alternated between my upper and lower lip… there was no tongue, but the kis

LUCAS. “We have protestors outside the company and the board members want you to sort it out.”Dad’s voice echoed in my head on my way to the company. “Sir, why are we the ones dealing with this problem? Those phones were sent into the market by Elias without a proper quality control check and testing. He used low-quality and counterfeit parts to cut costs but he just incurred losses for the company instead,” Wilson said as he drove the car. “This is an opportunity to show how useless Elias is,” I replied, a small smirk playing on my lips. Elias and my brother thought pinning the faulty phones on me would make me look like an incompetent CEO, little did they know that they just gave me an opportunity to make a lot of money for the group. The board members who are on their side won’t be anymore once they see which side is fattening their greedy pockets more. “Sir, we are here,” Wilson announced a few minutes later and I looked out the window. A sea of people had gathered in fron

RICHARD.I coiled my hands into fists, glaring at the bastard who was addressing the press like he owned the place. The moment he mentioned the partnership with Savvy Tech, the crowd went crazy. “Mr Hart, are you saying Mr X is willing to work with you?” One of the reporters asked. “Mr Hart, no one has ever seen Mr X. He’s a mysterious CEO who came out of nowhere. How did you manage to secure a partnership when you just returned to the country?”“How much is the partnership worth? Can we see the new product?” "You don't need to know the details. All you need to know is that Mr X and I are close. The partnership is worth a hundred million dollars and I have the contract with me. Mr X has already signed it, I just have to sign it and the deal is done,” Lucas replied arrogantly. I scoffed, my hatred for my so-called brother growing. How the hell did he manage to convince Mr X to give him a contract? Elias has been trying but he’s never gotten any response… not even a rejection. I

SOPHIA.“Congratulations on your first win, Luca!” I said the moment he walked through the door. “You were so cool!”He raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing on his lips. “You watched the press conference?” “Yes, I did. It was a chance to see Elias get defeated. It was satisfying to watch,” I replied, a huge grin on my face. I found out through social media that a group of protestors were making trouble at the Hart group, so I kept up with the news to see how it would turn out. For sure, Lucas didn’t disappoint. The way he handled the protestors… the way he handled the press and him slapping his brother and Elias’s face with a hundred million dollar contract… I wish I had been there to witness the looks on their faces myself. “This is just the beginning,” Lucas replied as he rolled his sleeves to his elbows. He looked at me, saying, “I hope you haven’t had dinner yet. I promised to cook for you.” “No, I didn’t. And I’m starving,” I replied, rubbing my stomach. “Then I better feed

SOPHIA.“Bon appétit!” Lucas said and I looked down at my plate filled with a well-done steak, mashed potatoes and sautéed veggies.I gulped, my mouth watering. Not only did it look delicious, but it smelled good too.Looking up at Lucas, I smiled. “Thank you for the meal.”Lucas sat across from me. We had moved to the dining area and I was still on my first glass of wine. I didn’t want to get drunk and misbehave like last time.We sat in comfortable silence and enjoyed the food.“I met the Adams Group CEO today,” I said after a while, my mouth full.Oh, that’s so ladylike Sophie. How can you talk with food in your mouth?“How did it go?” He asked in his deep voice before reaching over to wipe some sauce from my mouth.I blushed profusely but decided to play it cool.“She offered to help me win over the shareholders. I know I haven't been active for three years, it will take some time for me to earn their trust,” I replied.For now, I couldn’t show up at the company because Elias would

LUCAS. I awoke to a soft, warm body curled up against me. The TV was still on, still playing the series I had put on last night, but outside, the birds had already started chirping and soft morning light was beginning to seep into the room. I looked down at the beautiful woman sleeping beside me and arched my eyebrow. She had used my chest as a pillow and her leg was wrapped around mine like she didn't want to let go. It seems that while trying to watch the series, we somehow ended up falling asleep. I had promised her that I would leave once she fell asleep… but who knew I would be so relaxed with her next to me? I hadn't even realised when I had dozed off. Looking at her sleeping face, I couldn’t help but admire her. She looked so peaceful. Reaching up, I brushed the hair that had fallen on her face away before caressing her cheek lightly. She moaned in her sleep but instead of waking up, she tightened her hold around me and I gulped, my heart racing at the warmth radiating f

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
Caught In The CEO's Sweet Trap Chapter 104~ A revenge plan
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
Caught In The CEO's Sweet Trap Chapter 102~ The letter
SOPHIA.I took a deep breath as I stood outside my late father’s lawyer, Abraham Marshall's, office. After Daniel Walter left my office earlier, I kept recalling how his gaze shifted to the bookshelf behind me when he thought I couldn’t notice. Since he was once my father's close friend, he must have known there was a hidden safe in the chairman's office. And from the way he was giving the shelf secret looks, he surely knew what was inside that safe. Perhaps that could be the reason he’s been hanging around the company a lot despite not having any position there. That was the reason I chose not to waste time and came to see my late father's lawyer.The sooner I found out about what was in the hidden safe, the better. I raised my hand and knocked on the door. Twice. And then three times. After a few seconds of silence, a deep voice echoed from inside the office. “Come in.” I opened the door and walked in, finding Abraham Marshall seated behind his desk. He was an elderly man i

SOPHIA.My heart ached. So all this while, I thought Elias saved me, but it turned out he had taken the credit when it wasn’t his to take in the first place. I know I was the one who mistook him for the man who saved me, but why didn’t he correct me? He just went along with me, pretending like he was the man I thought had come to my rescue. As it turned out, it was Lucas all along. “Why didn’t you tell me? I ended up falling in love with the wrong person,” I asked, tears rolling down my cheeks. I couldn’t believe I had wasted my time, my emotions and my love on the wrong person. There were so many wasted years...Lucas was silent for a few seconds. He frowned, looking at me. “If someone else saved you today, would you fall in love with him?” I furrowed my eyebrows, shaking my head. “No, I wouldn’t. Why would I fall in love with just anyone because they saved me…” I trailed, realising why he asked that question.He arched an eyebrow. “You see? I don’t think you fell for Elias b

##Flashback to nine years ago##LUCAS's POV. I had just gotten off Dad’s private jet when I saw Caspian waiting for me near his Lamborghini. “Hey bro!” He yelled, waving at me like a fool. I shook my head. This fucker loved getting on my nerves. So he came all the way here just to embarrass me? When I reached his side, he spread his arms wide. “Aren't you gonna hug your best buddy?” “Fuck off,” I said before getting into the car. Caspian entered the driver's side car and drove off. I glanced at him, saying, “Let’s stop at a flower shop.”“You just returned, and you can’t wait to see your first love? Are you finally going to confess your feelings?” A small smile crossed my lips. “Yes, I am. I can’t hold back any longer. I missed her so much.” “What if she doesn’t like you that way?”A lump formed in my throat. That was a possibility. But I wouldn’t know unless I tried, right?“We shall cross that bridge when we get there,” I said, looking out of the window. Dad had sent me abr

LUCAS. I froze. I hadn't expected that we would run into Sophia's high school tutor, much less that he would bring up the past. “What do you mean? When did Lucas save me?” Sophia asked him, giving him a questioning gaze. I gave the man a pointed look, hoping he would keep his words to himself. However, he chuckled when he saw my glare, looking back at Sophia. “Don’t tell me you forgot. Lucas once saved you when you were attacked on your way home,” Adil Patel uttered, ignoring the daggers I was shooting at him with my eyes. Sophia gasped, glancing at me with rounded eyes. “Is that true? Were you the one who saved me that time? How... it was clearly Elias...”Alarm bells went off in my head at those words. What the hell did that mean? Was she about to say Elias was the one who had saved her?Adil laughed. “I see.... Lucas must have kept it a secret because he didn’t want you to feel burdened."He chuckled again, glancing at me. "How noble. I’ll see you around, and congratulation
