SOPHIA.

“I didn’t expect your father to agree so easily,” I said, looking out the window and noticing that we weren’t going in our usual direction.

“To be honest, Dad surprised me too,” Lucas replied.

We were in the limo that he had sent for me, and he poured us two glasses of champagne, saying we needed it after that nerve-wracking moment in the lounge.

“I think Elias is going to try something,” I remarked, turning to look at Lucas. “Be careful.”

I still couldn't shake off the look of hatred he was throwing at us. It was like he had already killed us in his mind.

Lucas glanced at me, a small smirk playing on his lips.

He arched an eyebrow. “Are you worried about me?”

I playfully rolled my eyes.

“Isn’t it obvious?”

He let out a low chuckle.

“Don’t worry. I won’t give Elias or his wife the chance to hurt us,” he said, taking a sip of his champagne. “He should be the one worrying instead. I have a lot of scores to settle with him.”

I sighed, looking out the window again. We had

Lucas is the sweetest. He’s been in love with her. I believe dad has always known also and that’s why he gave in so easily.

  • Caught In The CEO's Sweet Trap   Chapter 52~ His confession

    SOPHIA. My heart slammed against my ribcage like a war drum being beaten into action. He wanted to say he would do it because he was my future husband? But that was nine years ago…A breath caught in my throat at the thought that crept into me. I looked up into gorgeous blue eyes that always seemed to be too intense when staring at me. “Luca… you—”“Come, let’s go in,” Lucas said, placing his hand on the small of my back and leading me into the villa. I temporarily put that thought aside, but my heart couldn’t stop racing. The possibility of Lucas…No, he didn’t, did he? That would mean…When we walked into the villa, I gasped, taking in the beautiful interior. Plush white sofas in the living room with a cozy fireplace, an open-plan kitchen on one side and a dining area with dinner for two already set up on the table. A bedroom lay on the other side of the villa, featuring a king-sized bed draped in sheer white curtains, a soft glow from bedside lamps casting warm light over the r

    LUCAS.There. I said it. The instant relief that washed over me made me question why I kept this to myself all these years…It felt good to finally voice my feelings. To finally tell the woman of my dreams how much I loved and cherished her... “Lucas…” Sophia’s eyes widened in shock. “Are you saying you’ve always been in love with me?” I nodded, my fingers caressing her smooth skin as I cupped her cheek. “I have…” I replied. “I love you, Sophia Adams Hart.” Silence fell upon us, but we maintained our position, simply looking into each other’s eyes as Sophia tried to process my words. “Can you tell me why you left three years ago? Is it because I married Elias?” She asked, her eyes watering with tears. I sighed, recalling the past. When Elias proposed to Sophia and she accepted, that was the worst day of my life. I couldn’t take it. So, I gave up everything and left. I tried to move on… I even dated a few other women to try and move on, but I failed. Terribly. My heart, my so

    SOPHIA. A gasp escaped my lips when Lucas ripped my dress off, the sheer force leaving a stinging pain on my skin. “Luca…”“Yes, love?” Lucas arched an eyebrow before raking his eyes over my body. My face burned. Instinct kicked in, making me cover my breasts with one hand while the other one cupped my crotch. Lucas let out a low chuckle. “You’re so cute, you know that?” He said, a smirk tugging at his lips. “What part of you haven’t I seen? Why are you hiding yourself? Not like it would stop me from devouring you anyway…” Butterflies fluttered in my stomach. I bit my lower lip, my heart pounding hard in my chest. I loved everything about this night... his confession, the scenery... the fact that I could see stars while lying in this position made it all too perfect. Reaching up, I grabbed Lucas’s shirt and tugged at it. “Take this off. I don’t want to be the only one naked,” I uttered in a low voice. Lucas’s smirk deepened. “Gladly.” He knelt on the bed, making me watch as

    SOPHIA. “Ah... Luca! Right there!” A horny sound escaped my lips as Lucas ate me out. I was seated on top of the dining table, our used plates were swept to the ground by a very hungry and impatient Lucas. My legs were spread apart and held in place by strong, manly hands. Lucas, while on one knee, had his face buried in my core, eating me like a man who had been starved for years… Earlier, he made love to me, taking me in all sorts of positions that I never knew existed. The passion, the pleasure, the intensity... I was floating on cloud nine. After he rested for a little while, he had carried me to the dining area and placed me on top of the dining table before getting down to business.“Oh, Luca! Oh yes!” I cried out when he sucked my pleasure nub, intoxicating pleasure rippling through me. He looked up, one of his hands reaching for my breast. “Fuck, I did well to save the best for last. Your exquisite taste is just what I needed for dessert,” he murmured, his voice deep

    SOPHIA. “Sophia… I’ve been waiting for your call, but you didn’t call me. You wanted me to come for you, right?” Elias said, shocking me to the core. I looked at the stuff in his hands, my eyebrows furrowing. “Elias–”“It’s ok… I’m here. I’ve done what you want. Now come home with me, you don’t belong here,” Elias confidently said, making me wonder if he had a few loose screws. Was he for real?“And where do I belong?” I sneered. “With you? You have some nerve coming here.” “Of course you belong with me! Not here… anywhere but here! Do you even know my uncle very well? He–”“Shut up! I don’t want to hear it! Leave my house!” I yelled, frustration creeping into me. Who did he think he was?“Sophia…” Elias said, taking a step forward, but I stepped back. “Stay where you are! Elias, why are you here?” I questioned, glaring at the man I once thought was my whole world. Looking at him now felt like I was looking at a total stranger. Funny how that works. I took out my phone and text

    LUCAS. I was in a meeting with some potential business partners when Sophia sent me a text.Everyone looked at me when my phone chimed, probably wondering why my phone was not on silent during a meeting. I smirked, opening my phone. “Wait…” I said to the project manager who was giving a presentation of his company’s proposal. “I just got a text from my wife. I need to read it.”“Uh… o-okay, Mr Hart,” he responded as I opened the text, only for my eyebrows to furrow. What the fuck was Elias doing at my house and why the fuck wasn’t I alerted? I checked and found several missed calls from the security team. Shit. My phone is usually on silent mode whenever I’m in a meeting. Only Sophia’s call was set to ring whenever she called. I clenched my hand around the phone. How dare Elias go to my house to seduce my wife?“M-Mr Hart, should I–”“This meeting is over,” I said coldly, getting to my feet and walking out of the conference room as I dialled my wife’s phone.

    SOPHIA. “How was my reminder?” Lucas asked as he dressed up, ready to go back to work. I blushed, recalling how he took me while I leaned against the wall. The way he held me... the way he kissed me like he was trying to carve his mark into my soul... his sharp and powerful thrusts that made me see stars...My God...It was so hot… I couldn’t stop thinking about it. He then dragged me into the shower and we had another round while at it. He had turned my back against him while my hands were braced on the tiled walls. He then raised my right leg while he penetrated me from behind and fucked me hard. I bit my lower lip, looking at him as he buttoned up his shirt. “I think I’m suffering from memory loss… maybe you should try to remind me again tonight,” I said, my face burning. Lucas’s eyes darkened with desire. “Getting greedy, are you?” He asked with an arched eyebrow. I shrugged, a small smirk tugging at my lips. “You started it. You need to see to it that I remember who I bel

    SOPHIA. I knew Violet was up to no good, but this… this was purely evil. How could she use her innocent baby’s life in her schemes? Tears rolled down her cheeks as she looked up at me. Anyone seeing this would think I had really pushed her. “Help me, Sophia. I don’t want to lose my baby. I’ll divorce Elias, I promise," she pleaded, making me roll my eyes. Was she a villain in her past life? She was so good at playing pretend.However, I was the only one who could see through her crocodile tears. Gasps and murmurs rippled through the crowd, my stomach knotting at the sheer weight of their whispers and judgmental stares. “What a vicious woman! She pushed a pregnant woman and couldn’t even help her out!” “She’s a monster!”“It seems she’s this poor pregnant lady’s husband’s mistress. How shameless!” “Has anyone called the police? We have a husband snatcher on the loose!”I clenched my fists, not bothering to defend myself. After all, with this scene, nothing I say would make the c

    SOPHIA. My eyes fluttered open when I felt Lucas placing soft kisses on my jaw. He kissed my nose gently, then my eyes, before pressing his lips to mine.After looking into my eyes briefly, he buried his face in the crook of my neck before sucking lightly. My eyes rolled to the back of my head, and an erotic sigh escaped my lips as tingles coursed through my body. "You're done with your business?" I asked, my breathing becoming laboured as he continued to suck on a sweet spot on my neck. "Yes, I'm done. Now I'm here for a snack," he murmured, his hand sliding into my pajamas. "We are still celebrating today's win, you know." I arched an eyebrow. "And this is how you want to celebrate?" My body trembled when he cupped my core, his finger teasing my clit lightly. "Yes... I'm addicted to the taste of a pregnant woman. And right now, I want my daily dose."Before I could tell what was happening, Lucas removed my pajamas. He was about to climb on top of me when I pushed him down on

  • Caught In The CEO's Sweet Trap   Chapter 108~ Celebrating a win

    LUCAS. “Did you see the look on Elias’s face?” Carla said, and Sophia laughed, throwing her head back. Her eyes gleamed as she laughed heartily, the sound echoing around us. “I’m sure he thought no one could ever cheat on him,” she uttered. "It felt so good to see him at a loss for words. That's what he gets for being a jerk to me. It's not like there's anyone out there who chooses to have difficulties with having children. But he never failed to remind me every day that I was a woman who couldn't bear children." My heart clenched at the reminder. Whatever Elias was going through after the revelation was not painful enough. He deserved the worst for how he treated Sopia. She's a woman I wanted to treat like a Queen for the rest of my life. Knowing she was once mistreated by a man she trusted always fills me with regret. I shouldn't have left the country back then...We had all gone to the restaurant in the hotel to have lunch and a few drinks as a way to celebrate our first win.

  • 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

    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
