SOPHIA.

The cool breeze brushed against my skin, carrying the scent of the ocean.

I stood by the bow, my fingers wrapped smoothly around the railing as I stared at the faint lights a few miles ahead- an indication that we were about to reach the island.

Warm, strong arms wrapped around my waist from behind, and a man’s scent seeped into my nose.

A smile crossed my lips. I didn’t have to turn to see who was holding me.

His scent, his touch, the feel of his body against mine... I could be blindfolded, but I could still know it’s him.

My husband, Lucas Hart.

I leaned back into him, my hands falling on his.

“A trip to an island, huh? I thought we were going to the club or something,” I said, loving the way it felt to be held in his arms.

I may still have things I needed to achieve, but so far, life was perfect with Lucas by my side.

Lucas leaned down and gently nibbled on my earlobe.

I bit my lip as a jolt of electricity rushed down my spine.

“It’s a celebration trip before we become bu

  • Caught In The CEO's Sweet Trap   Chapter 131~ Can never go broke

    SOPHIA. “You crushed them, girl! That was badass!” Carla exclaimed as we walked out of the Adams Group building. I smirked. “I liked it too. It felt refreshing to give them a taste of their own medicine. Too bad I couldn't see their faces. It would have been satisfying to watch.”“How did you manage to get the Pablo Investments deal?” She asked, her voice filled with curiosity. "I had been trying, but the company representative told me they had already partnered with someone else." I smiled. “I called Pablo and gave him our company’s business proposal.”“And he agreed just like that?” I shook my head. “He loved our proposal. But he wasn’t sure about partnering with us since he was new in the City. They are opening a branch here for the first time, so they were skeptical about whom to partner with. All I did was suggest he do a little research on us and on Arelli’s company, which he wanted to partner with since they were topping the business charts. He must have seen for himself t

  • Caught In The CEO's Sweet Trap   Chapter 130~ Claim my place

    ARELLI. The press conference ended, and I watched with hatred as Sophia left the podium, the sound of applause from the crowd sending a flare of irritation through me. That fucking bitch!!!How dare she humiliate me like this? Everyone knew L&A was my company; her discrediting of Violet meant she had discredited me, too! Aargh! This was so infuriating!I clenched my fists, my acrylic nails digging into my palms so hard, if they were sharp like claws, they would have cut through my skin, drawing blood. After leaving the media page that was streaming the press conference, I opened my contact list and called the representative from Pablo Investments. How did they end up partnering with that bitch? Our alliance was supposed to be the dagger that would kill Sophia's company for good. “What the hell happened? I thought we made a deal that you would make an alliance with us?” I questioned through gritted teeth the moment Jose Fernandez answered the call. “Oh, that? I was about to call

    SOPHIA. [Divorce Lucas if you want to save your company. The press conference won’t help you... You will end up losing everything.]I read the message and clenched my fists, anger and irritation flaring through me like a hurricane. Such petty tricks never scared me anymore, but they annoyed me to the core. They could only be done by cowards who could only hide behind phones or use the media to attack someone. Arelli Bennett thought she had me in a corner, but one thing she didn’t know was that I was a soon-to-be mother, and I would protect my assets like they were my life. The investment company was part of the legacy I was building for my kids. There was no way I would sit still and watch it crumble before my eyes, especially by a woman who was just throwing a jealousy fit. I let out a scoff and deleted the message before continuing with preparing for the press conference. If Arelli thought her stupid message would make me back down, she was fighting a losing battle. My past ta

  • Caught In The CEO's Sweet Trap   Chapter 128~ Backed down

    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 rep

  • Caught In The CEO's Sweet Trap   Chapter 127~ Women's business

    SOPHIA. I clenched my fists as anger bubbled up within me. Violet had gone too far. How dare she go on TV and ask me to sell my company? That was an insult! She made it sound like I couldn’t control my company’s current crisis. Like I wasn’t equipped for this type of situation. Like I was still the weak, clueless, housewife I was some months ago.This was a company I created to mark the decision I made to get involved in the business world. It served as a reminder of how I had survived through betrayal and humiliation. How dare she think I would let myself lose to her again?I knew this was her own twisted way of reminding me of the woman I used to be. She wanted me to crumble and accept defeat before I could even fight for anything. But that wasn’t going to happen. Not today. Not ever. I wasn’t going to give up or forsake anything. Not the company, or my husband. I would protect the things that belonged to me like my life depended on it. “This news is going to make our stocks

  • Caught In The CEO's Sweet Trap   Chapter 126~ A message

    SOPHIA. “How bad is it?” I asked Carla when I arrived at work the next day. We were in my office where Carla was briefing me about what I had missed when I took the day off the previous day for my hospital appointment. A new investment had suddenly joined the market yesterday and immediately started poaching our investors. I found it strange that they began to go after our investors the moment they launched their company. It was only after Lucas told me it was Arelli Bennett’s doing that I understood what was going on. This was personal. She was probably trying to use money and power to intimidate me, but that wasn’t going to work on me. If she was picking a fight, it was gonna be a losing battle for her. I didn’t start the investment company to let anyone trample on it just because they thought they ruled the world. “It’s really bad. As it stands, our investment company has been pushed back from its initial progress. L&A investment company is rising every minute that passes,”
