Semua Bab Caught In The CEO's Sweet Trap: Bab 111 - Bab 120

LUCAS. A smirk curled on my lips as I watched everyone's shocked faces. A few weeks ago, Wilson had reported that Elias had been trying to reach me through my alias, Mr X. I decided to give him a little push by instructing my representative, Josh Hawkins, to give him some attention. As expected, Elias took the bait. He didn't shy away from announcing to the whole world that he had managed to bag an alliance with Savvy Tech, not knowing it was all a trap to make him lose everything. This was not how I planned to reveal my identity to my father, but Elias had to be put in his place, lest he think we were of the same level. “I had no clue. Why didn't you tell me?” Dad asked, his voice sounding a little sad at first. However, he quickly recovered, a huge grin that reached his ears curling on his lips. “I can’t believe this! I always knew you were hardworking, but this? Savvy Tech is a company that thrived to the top and got listed within three years. It’s been bagging the business of

SOPHIA. My head throbbed as I squinted my eyes, opening them slowly. What happened? I remembered going through baby stores with Carla, and then while we were looking at a few cute clothes, I felt a sharp sting in my neck. The last thing I heard was Carla's scream before I lost consciousness.My heart sank to my feet when it dawned on me. I had been kidnapped. The first thing I did was to place a hand on my belly as though I was checking if my babies were ok. Since it was a multiple pregnancy, I had already started showing, although to others, it would look like I was just bloated or I had gained a little weight. “It’s about time you woke up. I was beginning to think you were dead.”A voice brought me back to the present, and my heart sank when I saw the man who was seated on a couch near the window. I was in a room with a large bed and a balcony. It looked like a normal villa... not the usual place someone would take someone they kidnapped. I glared at Elias. “Why did you brin

VIOLET. I clenched my fists as I watched Elias being taken away by the police, anger flashing through my eyes. Dammit! I didn’t expect him to be so foolish as to kidnap Sophia. What was he thinking? Of course, Lucas would find a way to locate his wife. Elias had brought his downfall upon himself. Now, what will happen to me and my child? Earlier, a few men came to get me, and then they called Mike and forced him to spill where Elias had taken Sophia. Afraid of what might happen to me, Mike caved and told them Elias's location. I didn’t know how they found out about us, they must have kept this card so they could use it later. And it worked since Mike has always been foolishly in love with me. However, his foolishness made him fall into their trap. They act like they are good people. But they are so cunning and calculating, using whatever means they can to get the information they want. Now, my only source of livelihood had fallen, how was I going to survive from now on?“Let’s

SOPHIA. My heart slammed against my ribcage as Lucas’s words sank in. So, he married me because my father offered him twenty percent shares of the Adams Group?I felt my heart clench as a wave of anger washed over me at the betrayal. Please tell me this wasn't real... Lucas wouldn't do that to me, would he?“So you’re one of the major shareholders in the Adams group? Why didn’t you tell me? Were you afraid that I wouldn’t marry you and you wouldn’t get your hands on the shares?” I questioned, yanking my hand out of his hold. Hurt flickered through his eyes at the move. “Soph, my love, it’s not what you think. I didn’t marry you because of the shares-““But you just said my father had offered to give you shares if you agreed to marry me. How long had you been plotting to marry me so you could become a major shareholder in my company? I thought you were sincere with your feelings. And that story about how you've loved me for years... was that a lie too?” A glint of guilt flashed t

SOPHIA.I froze. My heart slammed so hard against my ribcage that I could hear it in my ears. “I’m sure you’ve never heard of me, right?” Her sharp voice reached my ears. She had a smile on her face, but her words were laced with a hidden mocking tone. Before I could reply, she beat me to it, adding, “Luca, don’t tell me you never told Sophia about us. She looks so surprised.” A flare of fierce jealousy washed over me. How dare she call him by that name? Only I could call him Luca. “Arelli…” Lucas said through gritted teeth. “Mind the way you speak to my wife… You and I were over a long time ago. And you know you’re not allowed to call me that.” Arelli turned to look at Lucas, a sad look flitting through her eyes before glancing at her father. “Dad, see what I told you? This is why I needed you here to help me pump some sense into Lucas. I’m the only woman he can marry.”The elderly man chuckled awkwardly. “Lucas, I’m sorry about this. I spoiled my daughter so much. There was li
