SOPHIA.

I narrowed my eyes when I left Lucas’ ward and found Elias waiting for his father in the hallway.

How dare he come here?

His eyes widened when he saw me, a flicker of worry flitting through them.

I scoffed. Who was he trying to fool? Whatever worry he was showing was fake.

“Sophia, are you ok…”

“Why are you here? Haven’t you done enough?” I cut him off, my voice laced with so much venom.

His eyebrows furrowed. “What are you talking about?”

I sneered, glaring at him.

“Don’t pretend like you don’t know what I’m talking about. You tampered with the car’s brakes and caused our accident!”

Elias’ eyes grew wide like dinner plates. He shook his head, saying, “I did no such thing. I didn’t even know where you guys were.”

I clutched the arms of my wheelchair, anger bubbling up within me.

Apart from Elias, I couldn’t think of anyone who would want us dead. He seemed to be telling the truth, but I wasn’t so sure. He was a master at lying and pretending after all.

“Look, Sophia

  • Caught In The CEO's Sweet Trap   Chapter 79~ A grudge

    UNKNOWN POV. “Boss, Lucas is admitted to the hospital with his wife. I'm sorry, we failed you." I swiped the contents on the table to the ground, banging the side of my fist on the surface of the table. “Fools! All of you! How can you fail to get rid of that bastard and his stupid wife?” I snapped, anger bubbling in my chest. They had one job... To kill Lucas and make it look like an accident. But what did they do? Lucas and his wife were still alive! "Perhaps I should kill you for failing to do your job." The man who had come to report shivered, making me scoff. “We did what you told us to do. Didn’t you tell us to make it look like Sophia’s parents’ accident, so that no one can trace it to you? That’s what we did. We just didn’t expect Lucas to be so good at defensive driving.” “Nonsense! How many times will you give me excuses? You all fail to do anything until I do it myself!” I hissed, glaring at him. I never addressed him or any of my men by their names. Those were my ru

    LUCAS. “We found high levels of scopolamine in your father’s system. Someone’s been drugging him,” Doctor Devon Kim, my father's personal doctor, said. “They might have switched out his medication when no one was looking.” My hand clenched into a fist, anger searing through me. “What does the drug do?” I asked through gnashing teeth, barely managing to mask my anger. Who the fuck had been drugging my father and why? This was getting out of hand. “It treats motion sickness and nausea, but if taken in high doses, this drug can lead to hallucinations, disorientation, temporary blindness, and it could lead to a coma,” the doctor answered. “It seems whoever drugged him wanted him to either lose his mind or go blind. Perhaps they wanted him to do something against his will while in a disoriented state. Luckily, he collapsed while he was already here, otherwise, we wouldn’t have found out he was being harmed.” I clenched my jaw, my stomach twisting and turning with worry. I wouldn’t

    SOPHIA. A week later… I pushed Lucas’ wheelchair into his father’s ward. Doctor Devon had just given us the news that he had woken up from his coma. It took a few more days than we had expected, but luckily, the treatment had worked. Lucas asked to see him immediately, and since his left leg and right arm still had a cast, he could only move around in a wheelchair. “Dad,” Lucas said the moment we approached the bed. “How are you feeling?” I smiled at the old man on the bed. He looked like he had aged a few more years. A sigh escaped his lips. “If you didn’t tell me the cause of your mother’s death, I wouldn’t have collapsed, and no one would have known I was being drugged. Doctor Devon just told me what was found in my system.” “Do you have any idea who could have done this?” Lucas asked. “I don’t… everyone at home is trustworthy, and I don’t think they can do such a thing. It’s probably someone who’s not on my payroll.”“Dad, how can you be so sure? Even those on your payrol

    LUCAS. My brows creased. “Dad, you actually didn’t need to do this. I’m perfectly healthy…”“Nonsense! Of course, you needed it! How did you think I got your mother pregnant when I was in my forties?” Dad said. He looked around before leaning forward and whispering. “This tea is your great-great-grandfather’s recipe. Whenever the men from the Hart family take this tea, it takes just one shot to impregnate someone.” He dug into his pocket and took out a sachet like someone who was trying to get someone to join them in smoking some illegal stuff. “Here, I’ll give you some. Make tea every morning, during lunch and after dinner. I promise you, this place will be full of little Lucas and Sophias.”A wave of heat rushed through me, and I clenched my fists to make myself sober. “Are you kidding me? I’m the company’s CEO. Do you want me to stay home all day and make babies?”Dad had a mischievous look in his eyes. “Don’t tell me you’re that boring, son. You can visit your wife and do it in

    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

  • Caught In The CEO's Sweet Trap   Chapter 84~ A meeting

    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

    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

  • Caught In The CEO's Sweet Trap   Chapter 95~ Wedding preparations

    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
