Semua Bab Caught In The CEO's Sweet Trap: Bab 181 - Bab 190

LUCAS. “Sir, Mr Bennett is attending a charity event at a public hospital. He’s donating to the maternity ward and also doing voluntary work there,” Wilson reported as I sat on my swivel chair in my office. “Call the foundation and tell them I’ll join the event too. Donate two million dollars to the foundation and the maternity ward,” I instructed, my eyes narrowing.I had been trying to contact Gregory for the past few days, but he had been avoiding me. It’s not like I could just barge into his residence and force myself in. I didn’t want to find myself on the wrong side of the law. Now that I had so much to lose, I didn't want to find myself in a position where I would be separated from my family. So, regardless of the power I had, I opted to use a much simpler way to resolve issues. Attending the charity event is the only way I would get a chance to give Gregory a warning about his daughter. I knew he was using his influence to make her life in jail easier, but that could also l

LUCAS.Everything else that happened after that was a terrifying blur. Miss Brown ended up in the theatre, and although she had cried for a C-section, it was not the easy way out either. I was able to watch the operation through a glass outside the theatre, and it left me shaken to the core. Watching as they cut the belly open, the different layers they had to cut through to get to the baby... Then there was the headaches she got after the C-section. I could hear her cries from across the ward as I helped out other mothers. I couldn't even imagine what kind of pain women go through. The pregnancy itself comes with many struggles, but the labor part? There was no word to describe it… I couldn’t even describe it because I couldn’t put myself in Sophia’s shoes. My stomach twisted with fear… Sophia was carrying triplets. She would have to go through the pain three times, each delivery with a pain of its own. I learnt a lot during this activity… Women go through a kind of war during c

SOPHIA.A relaxed sigh escaped my lips as I stared at the sky above. The sun shone brighter today, and the air was filled with a sense of peace that I hadn’t felt in a long time. Yes… It was finally over. A few days ago, the high court convicted Elias and the others. Normally, a trial could be dragged out for years, but using the power of the Hart family, we were able to push for the quick hearing of their crimes. Elias and Daniel were sentenced to death for the murder of my parents. And I was glad that justice was finally served. However, it wasn’t known when they would carry out the sentence, it could be ten years or decades from now. Regardless, what mattered was that they finally got the punishment they deserved. Arelli was sentenced to life imprisonment for murdering Violet thanks to her powerful Dad, who hired a good lawyer. She managed to avoid the death penalty. I didn’t really care about her sentence since she was out of the way anyway. She was already paying for her acti

SOPHIA. It had been a beautiful day, and before we knew it, night had already fallen. We were seated in the garden around a long table that had replaced the round white tables which were there earlier. The moonlight illuminated the lawn in a soft glow, giving the place fairytale vibes with the lanterns that hung overhead for more lighting. The ambience was warm and welcoming, giving one a sense of belonging. Laughter spread through the air, blending with the soft music in the background. Carla’s giggles were the loudest. Her cheeks were rosy from having too much wine, and Caspian kept pouring wine into her glass after he poured himself some. “I don’t think she should continue drinking,” Alice said, an amused look on her face. “Are you trying to get her drunk, big bro?” Caspian smirked. “I normally wouldn’t allow a woman to drink this much, but she seems happy today and keeps drinking the wine like it’s juice. Let her be, I’ll take her home.”“Of course, I’m happy! I have a fami

CARLA. My face burned. This wasn't the first time I was hearing this. A lot of people didn't believe that a man and a woman could be friends. They said there was always someone who had feelings for the other. "Ah, the lady is blushing. I must be right," Marco said, making my face turn a shade darker. “Don't mind him. Take a seat,” Caspian said, leading me to an empty couch, and I was grateful for the interruption.A few minutes later, a waiter came and Caspian ordered a bottle of wine. “Where's everyone?” He asked his friend, who was still enjoying a lap dance on the other couch. Wasn't this too explicit to do in public?The stripper ground herself on Marco, releasing a lewd moan that could make a virgin bride blush. Heck, I wasn't innocent, but I was dying from embarrassment. Couldn't they get a room or something? I stole a glance at Caspian, and he looked unbothered. Did he do this as well? An uncomfortable feeling settled in the pits of my stomach. “They will be here soon. I
