Chapter 1~ A prisoner

SOPHIA. I should have known better that I wouldn’t be able to escape. Especially when my ex-husband, Elias Hart, was watching my every move like a hawk. After what felt like an eternity but was only a few hours, night had finally fallen and I was ready to execute my escape plan. Again.It has been two weeks since my divorce from Elias Hart was processed. Two weeks since he locked me up after he realised I had signed the divorce papers and submitted them to the local court. Elias and I had been married for three years. However, I caught him in our matrimonial bed with my best friend, Violet Miller. Instead of being sorry, all Elias said was, “She’s pregnant. I can’t abandon her. I want a divorce to give my child a complete family.” My heart clenched with pain. Tears rolled down my cheeks, my stomach churning at the betrayal. I never expected the closest people to me to stab me in the back like this. Elias was my first love and Violet had been my best friend since childhood, yet

Chapter 2~ I am back

Caught In The CEO's Sweet Trap/Natie

LUCAS.I got off my private jet and frowned deeply when I saw the convoy of cars waiting for me. I didn’t want to draw any attention to myself just yet. I began to walk toward them when my phone buzzed in my pocket. Glancing at the screen, I saw Caspian’s name flash on it and I raised an eyebrow as I swiped to answer the call. “As usual, you didn’t take long to call me. Were you staring at your phone to check when my line would be available?” I asked on the phone.A chuckle came through the speaker. “You’re finally back, Luca!” Caspian exclaimed, making me furrow my eyebrows. “The fuck. I told you not to call me that,” I growled, pinching the bridge of my nose. I didn’t like it when other people called me by that name. “Come on, Luca… it’s just like good old times!” Caspian replied, totally ignoring my words. Caspian was a very good friend of mine. I don’t know if I can call him my best friend. I never had best friends. But he was the closest thing I had to a best friend. Whe

Chapter 3~ Good friends

Caught In The CEO's Sweet Trap/Natie

SOPHIA. My stomach churned when I found Elias and my best friend in our matrimonial bed. I could hear their loud moans from downstairs. Even though I took slow steps, ascending the stairs slowly, my heart kept sinking little by little the closer I got, knowing I would find my husband in our bed with another woman. Minutes later, he was shoving divorce papers in my face and forcing me to sign them. There was no sign. There was no warning. I never once imagined the man I loved would one day betray me like this. This felt like a nightmare. “Sign the divorce papers, Sophia! I want to marry Violet! She’s carrying my baby!” Elias’s cold voice sent a chill down my spine. I glanced at the paper that he had thrown my way, my heart clenching in pain. “And if I don’t?” I replied defiantly, not wanting to go down without a fight. Elias’s eyes flickered with anger. He ran a hand through his hair before coming towards me and grabbing my neck. “Don’t test my limits, Sophia. It’s either you

Chapter 4~ A plan

Caught In The CEO's Sweet Trap/Natie

LUCAS.I didn’t expect to run into Sophia the moment I returned to the city, but I did.Now she was lying in my bed, her skin a little pale, her eyes filled with sadness and a shell of herself.“Elias and I divorced two weeks ago,” she remarked in a low voice and although my face was devoid of any emotion, deep down, I was shocked.Elias and Sophia used to be so in love with each other. What happened for them to divorce?I wanted to ask more but I changed my mind, seeing how the topic was uncomfortable for Sophia.“You rest. I need to meet a few friends later on,” I said before leaving her room with the tray.Heading downstairs, I placed the tray in the kitchen and took out my phone. Dialling Wilson’s number.“I knew you wouldn’t cast me away the moment you returned!” His voice boomed over the speaker and I pinched the bridge of my nose.“Cut it out. I need you to investigate everything that happened to Sophia in the last three years that I’ve been gone,” I instructed.There was somet

Chapter 5~ Help

Caught In The CEO's Sweet Trap/Natie

LUCAS. I slammed my fist on the table, anger bubbling up in my chest at what I had just read. So, Elias only married Sophia to use her, not because he loved her. To think I sat through dinner with this type of person fills me with disgust. I’ve never really been a fan of my brother or his son because they treated me like an enemy in the past but I didn’t think Elias’s character was this bad. At least I thought he really loved Sophia and made her happy. That's why...“Is this all?” I asked Wilson while waving the file at him. Something seemed to be missing but I couldn’t put my finger on it. After having dinner, I got a call from Wilson and he told me he had found the information I needed.This was why I liked Wilson. He was swift and reliable when it came to getting stuff done.So, before I drove back to my villa, I quickly passed through the office to see Wilson and see what he found about Sophia.My blood boiled when I realised what kind of dick Elias had been to Sophia.Not on

Chapter 6~ Repaying the favour

Caught In The CEO's Sweet Trap/Natie

SOPHIA.I blinked once. And then twice. Lucas’s words hung in the air and my jaw dropped to the floor. Wait… what? Did he just propose to me? It took a moment, but I soon came back to my senses and burst into laughter. I laughed so hard that my insides hurt. “Oh, Luca… when did you start telling jokes? Did you not only change but you tried to become funny too… haha,” I said in between laughter. I saw Lucas frown deeply, his face serious like he was one of those CEOs in short dramas. My laughter began to fade, awkwardness falling between us as I studied his expression. He didn’t look like he was joking. So, he really wanted to marry me?“You’re not serious, are you?” I asked, my voice low. Lucas glanced at me, a calm look on his face. I couldn’t tell what he was thinking because his face did nothing to betray his emotions. This was not the Lucas I knew. This one was a bit cold, distant even. Did something happen while he was away?“I’m serious,” he replied in his deep husky vo

Chapter 7~ Married again

Caught In The CEO's Sweet Trap/Natie

SOPHIA. The sun's rays flitting into the room woke me up the next day. I squinted my eyes, stretching and still feeling a little sleepy after having spent almost the whole night tossing and turning in bed. Lucas gave me some time to think about his offer and I couldn’t sleep because I spent time thinking about our conversation. Finally, I had made a decision after weighing my options. What more did I have to lose?I quickly got up from bed and freshened up before going downstairs to look for Lucas. As I descended the stairs, I felt my heart racing a little faster than normal. Was I really doing this?Just as I stepped down the last step, I almost bumped into someone in a neat, tailor-made black suit. I looked up and found Lucas staring down at me with that same serious look on his face. He towered over me, but my view from down here was spectacular. God knew what he was doing when he was creating this man. He was so fine.In this proximity, I could smell his manly cologne that

Chapter 8~ She still loved him

Caught In The CEO's Sweet Trap/Natie

LUCAS.Finally, she was mine. I glanced at the blonde beauty seated next to me in the backseat of the car and my heart felt at ease. Never would I have imagined that I would get married the moment I returned to Edenport City. Dad had been trying to arrange a marriage for me with one of his childhood friends' daughter, but I had refused. He gave up and begged me to choose a bride of my liking, but I was still uninterested because no woman appealed to me.However, when I realised Sophia was now available, I quickly took the opportunity to marry her and here we are.“Are you going to work in the Hart Group?” She asked me. I internally scoffed at the idea. After the way I was treated three years ago, the Hart Group will have to beg me to join them since my dear nephew has done nothing but let the company sink faster than the titanic. Looking at Sophia, I replied, “I’m not sure. I’ll see.”Sophia frowned. “How are you going to help me with my revenge when you’re not part of the compa

Chapter 9~ Mrs Hart

Caught In The CEO's Sweet Trap/Natie

SOPHIA.We were back at the villa and although I knew I shouldn't let Elias affect me, I had been in a bad mood since I saw him. I hated him for cheating on me and locking me up against my will but I couldn’t deny the other part of me that still longed for him. And I hated myself for it. “Are you ok?” Lucas’s voice reached my ears and I looked up to find him staring at me with concern flitting in his blue eyes. Was I ok?I wasn’t. I didn’t think I would be able to face Elias at the party. Back there on the road, he didn’t even know it was me but I was so affected, I couldn’t stop trembling. “Can I not go to the party?” I asked Lucas, biting my lower lip. “I don’t want to see Elias.” Something flashed through Lucas’s eyes but it was so quick I couldn’t make out what it was. “Are you afraid he would ask why I’m going with you?” He asked in a dangerously low voice. “Do you regret marrying me after seeing him again?”My eyes rounded at Lucas. “What? No… I don’t. I just don’t want

Chapter 10~ Take care of her

Caught In The CEO's Sweet Trap/Natie

LUCAS. I looked out the window and frowned deeply before putting my phone away. I had just been on a call with my father. He asked me to show up for work today. The only reason I would work in the Hart Group is if I’m the CEO. I didn’t even need the Hart Group anyway; I built my own empire. However, Dad didn’t sound so good. The company wasn’t doing so well and he needed me to come in and help. I will work with them, but I’ll be taking my rightful place as the CEO. Not because I need the Hart Group but because I have to teach Richard and Elias a lesson.My mind flittered to the beautiful woman in the other bedroom and a small smile crossed my lips. Things were beginning to get into place one at a time. I quickly showered and dressed up in a dark suit before heading downstairs. My eyes widened when I found Sophia setting up the table. Her blonde hair was tied into a messy bun and she had a white apron on. She looked cute.Sensing me, she looked up and smiled.“Breakfast?” I ar
