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

SOPHIA. The crowd became louder, their angry voices drawing everyone's attention. More people stopped and came to watch the scene.“We say no to unfair treatment! Don’t fire workers due to personal reasons!” “The chairwoman must step down!” “You can’t fire a pregnant woman with no pay! The chairwoman is a vicious woman!” Carla glanced at me. “Sophia, you leave with the squad members. I’ll deal with this.”I could already see my security team holding off the protestors, and some were already near me, ready to protect me in case of anything. “This war is between me and Violet. If I don’t fight back today, she will think I’m easy to bully,” I replied in a low voice. “Sophia, I know you hate me because I’m carrying Elias’s child, and you couldn’t. But that’s not a reason to fire me without my severance pay,” Violet’s sharp voice echoed around us, a triumphant smirk on her lips. She held her small baby bump like it was an award she didn’t deserve. “Elias is my husband now, and we a

SOPHIA. Days came and went. Life went on for Lucas and I. On the surface, we looked like we were just minding our own business without caring about what had happened in the last few weeks, but in reality, Lucas and Caspian had intensified the investigations. There were three cases we wanted to solve. My parents' murder, Lucas’s mother’s murder and the accident that almost killed us. Regardless, we didn’t let these issues stop us from enjoying our marriage. We went on dates, made love so many times and sometimes, Lucas and Steven spent time playing chess while I went out with Carla and Alice for a girls-only night. Despite having some enemies lurking in the shadows, life was perfect. Lucas stepped out of the car, balancing his right leg on the ground to avoid putting pressure on his left leg, which was still in a cast and healing. He no longer used a wheelchair, but he still needed crutches to move around. I followed him out, and he closed the car door for me. “Are you ready?” H

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.

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
