All Chapters of Caught In The CEO's Sweet Trap: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

SOPHIA. “Food is ready, milady,” Lucas said, placing a plate on the table. “Prepared with love by your special chef.” I let out a chuckle, the aroma of the food seeping into my nostrils. It smelled so good. “Thank you, my love,” I replied. “I always enjoy your food.” He sat across from me with his own plate of food. We ate slowly, chatting about this and that. Laughter filled the room as we had our dinner, letting ourselves relax after a whole day of work and chaos.After Richard was arrested, I started receiving threats on my phone. Lucas managed to block any messages from an unknown number from reaching my phone, but we were aware of the threat that was looming around us. Regardless, we didn't let those issues get in our way. We tightened our security and helped the police with the search for Olivia by offering a reward to anyone who found her and reported her to the police. So far, she hadn't made a move. But I was sure she would soon. After all, those who lost everything we

CASPIAN. My phone buzzed, indicating that I had received a message. My heart slammed hard against my ribcage as I looked at the screen, unlocking it to read the message.Unknown: [You didn’t listen. Now this bitch will die.]I clenched my hand into a fist. They still got to her. Despite keeping a distance from Carla, this unknown psycho still got to her and kidnapped her because of me. My mind reeled with so many thoughts. Carla and Uncle Steven were kidnapped on the same night. Was it a coincidence?“Caspian…”Lucas’s voice brought me back to the present. Fear crept into me, making my stomach twist and turn. I had never felt fear like this in my life. Anger bubbled up in my chest, and I felt suffocated. Was this meant to distract me? “I think Olivia did this. If we search for her, we might find Carla–”“What if it wasn’t Olivia? Carla could be killed because of me!” I yelled, my heart slamming violently in my chest. “I would never forgive myself if anything happened to her!”

OLIVIA. I walked into the warehouse, my eyes falling on the man seated on a chair, looking frail. I didn’t bother to tie him up. He had no strength to escape. What could an old man like him do anyway?“You don’t look so good, my dear,” I said, approaching him. He glanced at me, his eyes cold. So he was no longer pretending to be nice to me. That cold gaze of his reminded me of the past… a past that was a thorn in my heart. A past when I was rejected and humiliated by this man. All I did was love him. I wanted to be his wife, the one who would stand by his side as his equal. But he trampled on my feelings like I was nothing, falling for another woman and shoving her in my face for me to see. That’s right. Steven Hart was the love of my life. Despite our age gap, I fell in love with him at first sight. I loved how powerful he was, how his presence commanded the room. And goodness, there was just something about a man with gray hair who was still hot and had a body to die for.

CASPIAN. Olivia’s taunting laughter reached my ears, making me coil my hands into fists. “My, my… who would have thought the great Caspian Gray would one day kneel before me? And it’s all because of a woman. So pathetic,” she sneered. Her words didn’t affect me at all. The only thing that was able to affect me at the moment was Carla’s safety. Knowing she was within reach but still in danger felt like hell on earth. A complex emotion flared through me, and I felt like I was hanging over the edge of a cliff. I needed to get her away from that man and his gun. I gritted my teeth and looked up at Olivia. How did I miss the fact that she was the bad guy all along?“I’ve done what you’ve asked. Now let Carla go, and my life will be yours to take,” I stated. “Caspian, what the hell are you doing? Get up! Do you think I will like my freedom knowing you traded your life for it?” Carla yelled.Of course, her feisty self couldn’t help but talk too much despite the scary situation she was

SOPHIA. “Someone’s in a good mood,” I said, glancing at Carla, who couldn’t stop smiling to herself. “Am I?” She remarked. “I guess knowing there’s no longer someone threatening me makes me feel free and relaxed.”I arched an eyebrow. “Or maybe a certain someone is responsible for that smile.”“What?!” She exclaimed, rounding her eyes at me. “No… why would I smile because of him? We decided to just be friends. He's not available.”“I didn’t mention any names.”Her face flushed to an adorable pink. “Um… haha. I thought you were talking about Caspian. We talked it out last night and agreed to just be friends. I mean, it’s not like he had asked me out or anything. I’m the one who kissed him first, and then got pissed when things took a wrong turn,” she said, her words coming out in a non-stop sentence.I let a smile form on my lips. I guess Lucas was right. Carla and Caspian would be ok… they just needed to realise their own feelings and stop trying to run away. “Well, I wish you the
