LUCAS.

“We found high levels of scopolamine in your father’s system. Someone’s been drugging him,” Doctor Devon Kim, my father's personal doctor, said. “They might have switched out his medication when no one was looking.”

My hand clenched into a fist, anger searing through me.

“What does the drug do?” I asked through gnashing teeth, barely managing to mask my anger.

Who the fuck had been drugging my father and why? This was getting out of hand.

“It treats motion sickness and nausea, but if taken in high doses, this drug can lead to hallucinations, disorientation, temporary blindness, and it could lead to a coma,” the doctor answered.

“It seems whoever drugged him wanted him to either lose his mind or go blind. Perhaps they wanted him to do something against his will while in a disoriented state. Luckily, he collapsed while he was already here, otherwise, we wouldn’t have found out he was being harmed.”

I clenched my jaw, my stomach twisting and turning with worry.

I wouldn’t

    SOPHIA. A week later… I pushed Lucas’ wheelchair into his father’s ward. Doctor Devon had just given us the news that he had woken up from his coma. It took a few more days than we had expected, but luckily, the treatment had worked. Lucas asked to see him immediately, and since his left leg and right arm still had a cast, he could only move around in a wheelchair. “Dad,” Lucas said the moment we approached the bed. “How are you feeling?” I smiled at the old man on the bed. He looked like he had aged a few more years. A sigh escaped his lips. “If you didn’t tell me the cause of your mother’s death, I wouldn’t have collapsed, and no one would have known I was being drugged. Doctor Devon just told me what was found in my system.” “Do you have any idea who could have done this?” Lucas asked. “I don’t… everyone at home is trustworthy, and I don’t think they can do such a thing. It’s probably someone who’s not on my payroll.”“Dad, how can you be so sure? Even those on your payrol

    LUCAS. My brows creased. “Dad, you actually didn’t need to do this. I’m perfectly healthy…”“Nonsense! Of course, you needed it! How did you think I got your mother pregnant when I was in my forties?” Dad said. He looked around before leaning forward and whispering. “This tea is your great-great-grandfather’s recipe. Whenever the men from the Hart family take this tea, it takes just one shot to impregnate someone.” He dug into his pocket and took out a sachet like someone who was trying to get someone to join them in smoking some illegal stuff. “Here, I’ll give you some. Make tea every morning, during lunch and after dinner. I promise you, this place will be full of little Lucas and Sophias.”A wave of heat rushed through me, and I clenched my fists to make myself sober. “Are you kidding me? I’m the company’s CEO. Do you want me to stay home all day and make babies?”Dad had a mischievous look in his eyes. “Don’t tell me you’re that boring, son. You can visit your wife and do it in

    SOPHIA. My waist and back were in pain after riding Lucas the whole night. To avoid Steven, we stayed in bed the whole day after asking Sarah to bring breakfast and lunch to our room. Lucas had still not recovered, so I couldn’t go to the company yet. However, it seemed there was no chance for us to rest with the old man being mischievous with his crazy ideas. We couldn't send him back to the Hart mansion either, since his life was in danger. After spending the whole day sleeping and watching movies, the old man came to call us down for dinner personally. So we had no choice but to leave our bedroom and go down to join him for dinner.“So, how was your night?” He asked, glancing at us with a mischievous grin on his face.Lucas cleared his throat. “Thanks to you, Dad. We had a rough night.”Steven’s eyebrows hiked. “A rough night, huh?”He nodded his head too many times, his grin reaching his ears. “That is wonderful news!” He exclaimed, hitting the table with his palm. “I will be

    SOPHIA.“Good morning, Chairwoman. My name is Emily Green, and I’ll be your personal assistant from now on,” a young woman who seemed to be in her early twenties said the moment I stepped out of the car. It had been three weeks since the accident, and I finally reported for work after ensuring Lucas was almost fully healed. The cast on his arm was removed, but the one on his leg was still there. His leg needed more time to heal because he had broken the bone entirely, unlike the crack in his arm, which had healed after a few weeks. I breathed in the early morning air, glancing at the tall building before me. I had wasted so much time away from the company. Instead of taking care of my family’s business, I let Elias do whatever he liked with it in the name of love. It was foolish of me. Now that I was taking over running the business, every corrupt person will be fished out and sent to jail. Dad, Mom, I won’t let you down. Looking at the lady with brown skin, dark hair and brown

    CARLA. When I heard the board members had called for an emergency meeting, I already knew it couldn’t be anything good. Since Sophia announced that she was the chairwoman of the Adams Group, Elias had stormed into my office to harass me almost every day. He wanted me to hand over my position to him so that he could easily take over the chairman position. Luckily, I wasn’t one he could easily bully. He couldn’t strip me of my position without proper procedure. So, I stood up to him and continued working on the plan to open a subsidiary investment company.I was shocked when he claimed I should take responsibility for the missing hundred million dollars. I had been investigating where such a large sum of money had gone when I noticed the discrepancies in the financial statement. It was only this morning that I found out the truth. Elias bribed someone from the finance department and embezzled the funds as if the company belonged to him. A sigh escaped my lips as I sat in the confere

    CARLA.Daniel and a few other shareholders laughed at Sophia’s order. “Young lady, let me give you a piece of advice. You just showed up at the company for the first time since your father died. I don’t think you should start trying to showcase your power right now. Mr Hart has been in and out of this building so many times. No security team will disrespect him like that. Perhaps, they might even throw you out instead of him,” Daniel’s words came. “Are you saying the chairwoman has no say in her own company?” I questioned, anger flaring through me. These people were so shameless! Just because we were women, they thought we were an easy target to bully. Elias scoffed. “After spending so much time away from the company, her words hold no weight here. Sophia, stop embarrassing yourself and go home.” “The only one going home here is you, Elias,” Sophia responded coldly. I was impressed with how composed she was. Her face was unreadable, and she was exuding an air of confidence that s

    SOPHIA. “What if we sign an alliance with Savvy-Tech? Will that make investors trust us?” The folds between my eyebrows creased as I glanced at Carla in confusion. Why did she sound like we had already secured an alliance with Savvy-Tech? They had been unresponsive so far. I was even planning on choosing another tech company to partner with. As expected, Daniel scoffed at Carla’s words. “Yeah, right. Even Elias, the heir of the Hart group, couldn’t manage to get through to Savvy-Tech. How can you do it?” He mocked. “It doesn’t matter if you get rid of Elias Hart or not. Today, we will have to appoint another CEO. I won’t believe that you two managed to contact Savvy-Tech, let alone make them sign a contract with the company.”I internally rolled my eyes. Anyone could tell what Daniel’s agenda was. He was eying the CEO position. Poor Elias didn’t even know that he was being used. Once he was out of the picture, his so-called backer didn’t even care. To each his own, after all. S

    SOPHIA. “My husband is my only guardian angel. No man can ever compare to him,” I said, a smile crossing my lips at the thought of Lucas. Now that he had almost recovered, we had made an appointment to go for a checkup together two weeks from now.I couldn’t help but be nervous and excited at the same time. What would it be like to have little ones running around the house? My heart already felt full at the thought. “Of course he is… what I mean is, whatever the case, this alliance is good for us. It’s not for free, so I think Mr X has no hidden motives,” Carla replied. I went through the document over and over again, but I didn’t find anything fishy. The contract was straight to the point, and I didn’t find any hidden clauses. The alliance was beneficial to both parties. Carla was right; it was good for our company.“You’re right, I can’t find anything suspicious in this contract,” I murmured. “I told you so. It’s ok to sign it,” Carla remarked. “Besides, since Mr X is willing to

    ELIAS. I frowned deeply, looking around the long, oval-shaped oak table. Apart from the representative, there was no one else who was new. I knew everyone in this room. I chuckled nervously, starting to think this man and Mr X had tricked me. Did they chew my money for nothing?“Sir, you must be joking. Mr X is not here yet. Could he perhaps be outside the room?” I asked, looking at the doors again. Was this a prank?The shareholders began to whisper among themselves, and Dad frowned, making my stomach churn with nerves. No… this wasn’t happening. I had spent millions of dollars to get this deal for Mr X to disappoint me at the last minute. How could he not show up after promising me?“Mr Hart, do I look like a joker to you? My boss told me to come here today. He’s already in this room,” the representative said. He didn’t look like his arrogant self today. At first, I thought it was because the chairman of the Hart group was here, but now that I think about it, he was being too

    ELIAS. “Sir, we need to go to the company. The meeting is about to start,” Mike’s voice reached my ears. I groaned, my head throbbing as I squinted my eyes open. It felt like someone was hitting the back of my head with a hammer. I took too much whiskey last night. After the wedding, I had been drowning myself in alcohol every day. Even though I had discovered Violet had never been faithful to me, I still couldn’t get rid of her because she had found out about my secret and was using it to blackmail me. That witch... how did I not know she was so cunning?I had no choice but to keep her around. However, that didn’t mean things between us would remain the same. The past few days, I had been sleeping in the study after we returned to the villa hastily like we were being chased. I didn’t want to risk meeting my father and get another lecture from him. He was already upset that I had embarrassed him on my wedding day. It was a huge blow for me too... I thought the child would be my

  • Caught In The CEO's Sweet Trap   Chapter 109~ The taste of a pregnant woman

    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.

    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.
