Caught In The CEO's Sweet Trap Chapter 25~ Eldest son
RICHARD.I coiled my hands into fists, glaring at the bastard who was addressing the press like he owned the place. The moment he mentioned the partnership with Savvy Tech, the crowd went crazy. “Mr Hart, are you saying Mr X is willing to work with you?” One of the reporters asked. “Mr Hart, no one has ever seen Mr X. He’s a mysterious CEO who came out of nowhere. How did you manage to secure a partnership when you just returned to the country?”“How much is the partnership worth? Can we see the new product?” "You don't need to know the details. All you need to know is that Mr X and I are close. The partnership is worth a hundred million dollars and I have the contract with me. Mr X has already signed it, I just have to sign it and the deal is done,” Lucas replied arrogantly. I scoffed, my hatred for my so-called brother growing. How the hell did he manage to convince Mr X to give him a contract? Elias has been trying but he’s never gotten any response… not even a rejection. I

SOPHIA.“Congratulations on your first win, Luca!” I said the moment he walked through the door. “You were so cool!”He raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing on his lips. “You watched the press conference?” “Yes, I did. It was a chance to see Elias get defeated. It was satisfying to watch,” I replied, a huge grin on my face. I found out through social media that a group of protestors were making trouble at the Hart group, so I kept up with the news to see how it would turn out. For sure, Lucas didn’t disappoint. The way he handled the protestors… the way he handled the press and him slapping his brother and Elias’s face with a hundred million dollar contract… I wish I had been there to witness the looks on their faces myself. “This is just the beginning,” Lucas replied as he rolled his sleeves to his elbows. He looked at me, saying, “I hope you haven’t had dinner yet. I promised to cook for you.” “No, I didn’t. And I’m starving,” I replied, rubbing my stomach. “Then I better feed

SOPHIA.“Bon appétit!” Lucas said and I looked down at my plate filled with a well-done steak, mashed potatoes and sautéed veggies.I gulped, my mouth watering. Not only did it look delicious, but it smelled good too.Looking up at Lucas, I smiled. “Thank you for the meal.”Lucas sat across from me. We had moved to the dining area and I was still on my first glass of wine. I didn’t want to get drunk and misbehave like last time.We sat in comfortable silence and enjoyed the food.“I met the Adams Group CEO today,” I said after a while, my mouth full.Oh, that’s so ladylike Sophie. How can you talk with food in your mouth?“How did it go?” He asked in his deep voice before reaching over to wipe some sauce from my mouth.I blushed profusely but decided to play it cool.“She offered to help me win over the shareholders. I know I haven't been active for three years, it will take some time for me to earn their trust,” I replied.For now, I couldn’t show up at the company because Elias would

LUCAS. I awoke to a soft, warm body curled up against me. The TV was still on, still playing the series I had put on last night, but outside, the birds had already started chirping and soft morning light was beginning to seep into the room. I looked down at the beautiful woman sleeping beside me and arched my eyebrow. She had used my chest as a pillow and her leg was wrapped around mine like she didn't want to let go. It seems that while trying to watch the series, we somehow ended up falling asleep. I had promised her that I would leave once she fell asleep… but who knew I would be so relaxed with her next to me? I hadn't even realised when I had dozed off. Looking at her sleeping face, I couldn’t help but admire her. She looked so peaceful. Reaching up, I brushed the hair that had fallen on her face away before caressing her cheek lightly. She moaned in her sleep but instead of waking up, she tightened her hold around me and I gulped, my heart racing at the warmth radiating f

CARLA.“What are you doing here?” I questioned the man who was sitting in my chair like he owned the place. “Who let you in?” I had just returned from my secret meeting with Lucas Hart, the second son of the chairman of the Hart Group. When I got his invitation earlier, I wondered what he wanted to talk about but now that I knew he was on our side, I didn't have to fear the man seated in my office. “Carla Hopkins, you must have forgotten your place and started to think you’re a real CEO,” Elias Hart spat as he lightly swayed in my swivel chair. I clenched my hands into fists, glaring at him. “I was able to get this job because I was overqualified for any other job in this company. Don’t belittle me just because I’m a woman!” I spat. The man always came and went as if he was the actual CEO of the Adams Group. I tried my best to put him in line but there was only little I could do when he used his marriage to Sophia Adams to get away with anything. He let out a dark chuckle. “I f

SOPHIA. “The invitations to my welcoming party have been sent out. It will be held in three weeks,” Lucas said as he manoeuvred the car out of the yard. It took an hour for me to dress up for dinner and now, we were heading out to Lucas’s mysterious place. I had asked where he would like me to treat him to dinner and he said it was a surprise. I sighed at his words. “That night, everyone will know about our marriage,” I replied, suddenly feeling nervous. What would his father think? I had divorced his grandson and became his daughter-in-law instead.“Yes, and Elias will realise that you’ve upgraded,” Lucas remarked, smirking as he steered the car with one hand. “I hope you will be ready to face him then… it won’t be easy but it’s got to be done.” I bit my lower lip.The thought of seeing Elias again still made me anxious. But if I don’t brave myself and overcome my fears, he will hold me back forever. “I won’t back down! I can’t keep hiding forever. Besides, I need to return to

SOPHIA. “I just heard your voice and had to see you right away! So, how have you been? We haven’t talked in a while,” the woman said before Lucas could even respond. She was facing him, completely ignoring my existence. “Hello,” Lucas replied nonchalantly. He glanced at me. “Try the noodles, love. Aunt Elena makes the best noodles in the city.” I smiled but before I could respond, the woman placed her hand on Lucas’s arm. “Lucas, I know you love Mom’s noodles. This has been your go-to restaurant for years now. I learnt Mom’s recipe and my noodles taste the same as hers… I’ll be preparing them for you from now on.” I felt an odd twinge in my chest. Picking up the chopsticks, I twirled my noodles before taking them into my mouth and chewing them with fake calmness. My eyes subtly fell on her hand that was on Lucas’s arm and inexplicable anger rushed through me. Why was he letting her touch him like that?Lucas shook her hand off. “Kimberly, meet my wife, Sophia Adams,” he said,

SOPHIA. “Earth to Sophia!” Carla’s voice reached my ears, bringing me back to the present. “Um... I’m sorry. Where were we?” I asked, looking down at the documents on the table. Carla raised an eyebrow. “I can’t believe I spent thirty minutes talking to myself,” she complained. “You’ve been absent-minded since we started.”I sighed. “That’s true... I’m sorry, Carla. I called you all the way here and I’m not even paying attention.”My mind drifted to Lucas and what he had said when we left the restaurant the other day. “I’m all yours, Soph.”What did he mean?Those words had given me sleepless nights as I tried to figure out their meaning.A few days passed since that night. Lucas and I continued to live under one roof and I soon adjusted to my new life. Despite Lucas being extra busy now that he was working on a new project for the Hart group, he still made time to have dinner or lunch with me. Sometimes he cooked for me and I found myself wanting to eat the food he cooked more

Caught In The CEO's Sweet Trap Chapter 96~ Scammed
VIOLET. I clenched my hands into fists, jealousy rushing through me as I watched Lucas effortlessly pay two million dollars for a custom-made wedding dress for Sophia. The smile on her face was so irritating, I wished I could wipe it off her stupid face. It was supposed to be me getting this type of love and attention. This was the very reason I snatched Elias from Sophia. I thought he would spoil me beyond measure. Everyone thought he gave me the money he stole from the Adams Group, but in reality, I’ve never even seen a cent from the missing hundred million dollars. In his defence, he said he was buying a new villa for us since the one we were staying in once belonged to him and Sophia. However, that was a lie. I had never seen any house papers. He's the only one who knew where he took that money. As it turned out, I had shot myself in the foot. Elias was stingy as fuck. We came here to buy a wedding dress, but the moment he heard there was a second-hand wedding dress being

SOPHIA.“I’m surprised you can still walk after how hard I fucked you this morning,” Lucas whispered in my ear when we walked into a bridal store, my face burning at his words. Indeed, he was like a beast that had been unleashed from its cage this morning. I had to soak in warm water to soothe the ache between my legs. But I wasn’t complaining. It felt like heavenly bliss. "For a man who's been too overprotective recently, you sure didn't hold back," I teased. "Baby, the doctor said exercising is good for you. Sex is the easiest exercise," Lucas replied before whispering. "Fuck, thinking about the sex we had this morning has just made me hard. I want you again."A chuckle escaped my lips just as a man who seemed to be in his thirties approached us. He was dressed in a light blue designer suit, and he had short, dark hair which was slicked back with gel. “Hello, my darling, how can I help you?” He asked me, his voice soft and cheery. “Are you looking for a wedding dress?” I nodded
Caught In The CEO's Sweet Trap Chapter 94~ Breakfast
LUCAS. A groan escaped my lips, feeling intense pleasure rush through me just as my eyes snapped open. I found myself lying on my back, and my wife who had been sleeping in my arms was kneeling between my legs, sucking my cock like it was the best thing she'd ever tasted. My eyes slightly widened. “Soph, you–” I threw my head back as electric currents seared through me, hissing when she twirled her tongue around the tip of my rod. “Fuck, baby.” I never thought it would feel so good to wake up with my dick in Sophia’s warm mouth. But it did. So very fucking much. I swear, I could get used to this. This was the best breakfast in bed ever. “Oh fuck yeah… that’s it, baby,” I groaned, meeting her eyes as she looked up at me.I loved the way she looked right now. Her hair was tied up in a messy bun, a few strands framing her beautiful face. Her lips were stretched to the limit, wrapped around my cock like it was a giant lollipop. Her eyes were watery, probably stinging from the pressu

SOPHIA.“Dad, seriously? Do those look like cat clothes to you?” Lucas asked, throwing his head back in laughter. “What? They are not?” Steven glanced at the onesie again, his brows creasing. “They are too small for me, though. Are you sure this is the gift you got for me?”This time, I joined Lucas in laughter, the sound echoing around the room. We laughed so hard that we almost lost our voices. “Old man, you sure know how to ruin a surprise,” I said, wiping the tears from the corner of my eyes. I hadn’t laughed so hard in a while. “What, I ruined it?” He asked, turning the onesie this way and that until his eyes fell on the message on the front. His eyebrows almost touched his hairline as he read the message out loud. “Hello, grandpa. See you soon!” He glanced at us, his eyes rounding in shock. “You two are pregnant?” “You finally got it, Dad. I was starting to wonder if you were too old to catch on,” Lucas murmured, a smirk playing on his lips. “You’re about to be a grandpa a

SOPHIA. “Look at them. So adorable, I can't believe we made these,” Lucas said, holding the ultrasound image like it was more precious than gold. Well, this gift was greater than any treasure for us. A miracle.We were on our way back to the villa, and Lucas hadn’t stopped staring at the ultrasound image since we left the hospital. A smile crossed my lips when I saw the way his eyes gleamed with happiness. Lucas wanted to share the news with his father the moment we left the hospital, but I came up with a more fun way to give Steven the news that he would be a grandfather again. “Who do you think they will look like?” Lucas asked, still studying the image like he would see the answer there. He was like a child who had just gotten his first toy car. His face was beaming with pride and wonder. A smile crossed my lips. “I don’t know. Since there are three, one can look like you and the other like me. The third one can look like the both of us,” I replied, glancing at the ultrasoun

LUCAS. “You are already pregnant, Mrs Hart.” My breath caught in my throat, and I heard a small gasp escape Sophia’s lips. I glanced at the dark-haired doctor, my heart pounding at a thousand miles per second. “What did you just say?” I asked. Doctor Natalie smiled. “I said you two didn’t need this checkup at all. You’re both in good shape for conception. We have to do an ultrasound scan to check the baby. But the blood tests show that you two are going to be parents soon.” I froze. Her words replayed in my head like a broken record. Did she just say I was going to be a father?A soft sob caught my attention, and I turned to glance at Sophia. Her face was wet with tears, her lips trembling as she smiled through them. “My love…”“I’m pregnant!” She cut me off, looking at me, her teary eyes gleaming with joy. “We are going to be parents, Luca. I’m going to have your baby.” A flare of complex emotions rose in my chest… They were so intense and overwhelming that I felt the corner
Caught In The CEO's Sweet Trap Chapter 90~ A checkup
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

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. “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
