บททั้งหมดของ Caught In The CEO's Sweet Trap: บทที่ 71 - บทที่ 80

CASPIAN. “Have you sorted out the problem?” I asked one of my men on the phone, my eyebrows furrowed in worry. “Sir… I’m sorry, we’ve failed to trace the murderer,” Justin reported.I clenched my fists. This was bad… with a murderer on the loose, Lucas and his wife would be in danger. Two days ago, I had received good news from one of the men who were investigating Lucas’s mother’s death. They had found out who the real culprit was and just needed to secure the proof. The proof was Lucas’s former nanny… she had agreed to testify and reveal the killer if we promised to keep her safe. The only condition was that she would only mention the killer's name once she was certain that her family wouldn't be harmed. We were in the process of moving her family to a safer place. I had even instructed a few of my men to stay with them until all this was over. However, the nanny, including the man who had found her, was killed mysteriously. I couldn’t tell Lucas about it because of his plans

SOPHIA. “I’m so hungry!” Alice exclaimed as we walked towards the long wooden table that was set on the beach.The sun had set below the horizon, casting a golden-red glow over the ocean. We had already changed into dry clothes when we got called for dinner at the beach. I looked around, loving the set-up. Lanterns hung from nearby trees, illuminating the table that was laden with grilled seafood, roasted vegetables and lots of other foods. “You'd be hungry after all that screaming. Jeez, I thought someone was trying to kill you or something,” Caspian remarked, earning a glare from his sister. “Are you even my brother?” She questioned. “How could you splash water at me like that? I’ll tell Dad and Mom that you bullied me on this trip.” “What are you? Five?” Caspian asked, laughing. “Go ahead… they are going to tell you to get a husband instead.”“You–” Alice fumed. She rushed towards Wilson and grabbed his arm. “I already have a husband. This one.”We all froze. Dead silence fell

SOPHIA. My head throbbed as I struggled to open my eyes. Where was I?I gulped, trying to swallow, but I felt like I had swallowed a piece of hot coal. “Water,” I croaked out, wincing. It was too painful to talk.No. It was painful to do anything, even breathing. “Here’s water,” a female voice reached my ears, and my eyes slowly fluttered open, my headache feeling more intense at the blinding white light. A glass of water was brought to my lips, and someone helped to prop my head up. I took a sip of the water, and my throat instantly felt better. “Thank God you’re awake now. I was so worried.” Now that my head was clear, I could make out the voice that was speaking to me. I turned slightly to look at Carla’s worried face. Alice was by her side, looking down at me with tears filling her eyes. “What happened?” I asked, realising I was in a hospital ward. Suddenly, a flash of memories rushed through my mind, making my heart pound like a galloping horse. Our car was hit by a tru

CASPIAN.“Shit,” I cursed, looking down at the vast city below us.I was never one to make mistakes but this... this was a total fuck up. I knew Lucas would never blame me. As expected, he said he would have still gotten into an accident if it was meant to happen. But I begged to differ... if I had updated him, he would have been more cautious. The only relief was that he didn't get killed in that accident. Otherwise, I would have never forgiven myself. Ever. Glancing at Carla, I admitted, “You were right. I should have told Lucas. All this is my fault.” We had gone out to a balcony at the far end of the hallway, wanting to give the couple privacy. “Don’t blame yourself… I also knew, but I didn’t say anything either. Who would have thought they would make a move while we were on the island?” She replied, tucking her short hair behind her ear. There was some stray hair that kept blowing in front of her face, and I was tempted to brush it away for her. I looked away, placing my han

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
