CARLA.“What are you doing here?” I questioned the man who was sitting in my chair like he owned the place. “Who let you in?” I had just returned from my secret meeting with Lucas Hart, the second son of the chairman of the Hart Group. When I got his invitation earlier, I wondered what he wanted to talk about but now that I knew he was on our side, I didn't have to fear the man seated in my office. “Carla Hopkins, you must have forgotten your place and started to think you’re a real CEO,” Elias Hart spat as he lightly swayed in my swivel chair. I clenched my hands into fists, glaring at him. “I was able to get this job because I was overqualified for any other job in this company. Don’t belittle me just because I’m a woman!” I spat. The man always came and went as if he was the actual CEO of the Adams Group. I tried my best to put him in line but there was only little I could do when he used his marriage to Sophia Adams to get away with anything. He let out a dark chuckle. “I f

SOPHIA. “The invitations to my welcoming party have been sent out. It will be held in three weeks,” Lucas said as he manoeuvred the car out of the yard. It took an hour for me to dress up for dinner and now, we were heading out to Lucas’s mysterious place. I had asked where he would like me to treat him to dinner and he said it was a surprise. I sighed at his words. “That night, everyone will know about our marriage,” I replied, suddenly feeling nervous. What would his father think? I had divorced his grandson and became his daughter-in-law instead.“Yes, and Elias will realise that you’ve upgraded,” Lucas remarked, smirking as he steered the car with one hand. “I hope you will be ready to face him then… it won’t be easy but it’s got to be done.” I bit my lower lip.The thought of seeing Elias again still made me anxious. But if I don’t brave myself and overcome my fears, he will hold me back forever. “I won’t back down! I can’t keep hiding forever. Besides, I need to return to

SOPHIA. “I just heard your voice and had to see you right away! So, how have you been? We haven’t talked in a while,” the woman said before Lucas could even respond. She was facing him, completely ignoring my existence. “Hello,” Lucas replied nonchalantly. He glanced at me. “Try the noodles, love. Aunt Elena makes the best noodles in the city.” I smiled but before I could respond, the woman placed her hand on Lucas’s arm. “Lucas, I know you love Mom’s noodles. This has been your go-to restaurant for years now. I learnt Mom’s recipe and my noodles taste the same as hers… I’ll be preparing them for you from now on.” I felt an odd twinge in my chest. Picking up the chopsticks, I twirled my noodles before taking them into my mouth and chewing them with fake calmness. My eyes subtly fell on her hand that was on Lucas’s arm and inexplicable anger rushed through me. Why was he letting her touch him like that?Lucas shook her hand off. “Kimberly, meet my wife, Sophia Adams,” he said,

SOPHIA. “Earth to Sophia!” Carla’s voice reached my ears, bringing me back to the present. “Um... I’m sorry. Where were we?” I asked, looking down at the documents on the table. Carla raised an eyebrow. “I can’t believe I spent thirty minutes talking to myself,” she complained. “You’ve been absent-minded since we started.”I sighed. “That’s true... I’m sorry, Carla. I called you all the way here and I’m not even paying attention.”My mind drifted to Lucas and what he had said when we left the restaurant the other day. “I’m all yours, Soph.”What did he mean?Those words had given me sleepless nights as I tried to figure out their meaning.A few days passed since that night. Lucas and I continued to live under one roof and I soon adjusted to my new life. Despite Lucas being extra busy now that he was working on a new project for the Hart group, he still made time to have dinner or lunch with me. Sometimes he cooked for me and I found myself wanting to eat the food he cooked more

SOPHIA. “But… What if it doesn’t work out?” I remarked, worry creeping into me. I didn’t want to lose Lucas. He was the only one who was on my side. I know we had somehow drifted apart as friends the past few years but ever since he came back…. I didn’t feel like I was alone anymore. His presence gave me the strength I needed to forge ahead. A heavy sigh escaped my lips, my brows meeting. “My first marriage failed despite me loving my husband. What if Lucas and I don’t work out in the end? I don’t want to ruin our friendship.” Besides... what if he didn't want to be more than friends?Carla studied my face. “So, in short, you’re scared about what may happen in the future?” She asked. I nodded, trapping my lower lip between my teeth. “I am… getting hurt again terrifies me.”“You only got hurt because you married the wrong man,” Carla reasoned. “I think a relationship that starts with friendship is bound to withstand all obstacles. Friends understand each other more without judg

ELIAS. “Did you see that?” I asked the men I was with. “What is it, Sir?” One of them who’s named Mike, asked. “Sophia… didn’t you see her?” I replied, looking ahead. I don’t know if I was hallucinating but I had seen someone who looked like Sophia in the hallway, however, a second later, she disappeared. “We didn’t see her, Sir,” Mike answered. I clenched my hands into fists. “I want you to search this place thoroughly. If she’s the one, make sure you bring her to me,” I ordered before walking away. I had a meeting with a few shareholders here, however, I didn’t expect to see someone who looked like my wife. Was it really her?The past few days have been hectic. I’ve been frantically searching for Sophia like a mad person. After seeing her with another man, I realised I didn’t want to lose her. She loved me– she must have been with that man to spite me. I was going to find her and bring her back home. Violet could be on the side while Sophia stays as my official wife. It

VIOLET. I sneered internally. Elias was a fool. For this little bastard in my belly, he would do anything for me.After meeting Sophia at the restaurant, I made sure I had someone follow Elias to make sure he never gets the chance to find that bitch. Although, it seemed she had already moved on since was kissing another guy in a luxurious car. That bitch always found the good ones. Was it because she’s from a wealthy family?What do rich outstanding men see in her?Regardless, I couldn’t risk Elias finding her before he married me. Today, I knew he was about to go and search for Sophia from my source, that’s why I faked a miscarriage and called him. As expected, he abandoned everything and rushed over to me. What a fool. “Can we go now? I don’t want to stay in the hospital,” I said, making sure to sound as vulnerable as possible. Elias glanced at me and I saw the way his eyes flickered with guilt. Good. As long as he felt guilty towards me, I had him by the balls. “Let me

LUCAS. “Sir, we’ve received some news from our men,” Wilson reported. He pushed his glasses up his nose and continued, “Elias just applied for an express marriage registration.” I arched an eyebrow, a smirk playing on my lips. Finally… Took him long enough.“Help him out secretly. Make sure nothing goes wrong. I want that fucker to get married before he finds Sophia,” I instructed. Rick told me Elias had seen Sophia at the mall earlier today, so I deliberately released some information to make him feel like he was close to finding her. He was lucky, chucky, that lying girlfriend of his called him just in time and distracted him. Otherwise, I wanted to play with him a little… he would have found someone else had he continued to follow the car that Sophia was supposedly in. “Noted, sir,” Wilson responded and was about to leave when I stopped him. “Wait… send him a wedding present from his uncle when he registers his marriage. I’m very, very happy for him,” I said with a satisfied

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.

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
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
