Mr. CEO, Be Careful With My Heart Chapter 25: The engagement party
Derek's lips were just mere inches away from Camilla's. He could feel her breath on his face, and the sweet flowery fragrance of her cologne. Her lips were slightly parted, eagerly waiting for his. Her eyes were closed in anticipation. She looked utterly irresistible at that moment, and he could feel his groin twitching in response. She hadn't even made a move to touch him, yet his body was responding to hers. She was like a delicate flame just waiting to blaze, and he knew he would get burned if he didn't move away. To hell with all that. He wanted to get burned. His eyes slowly closed and just as his lips brushed against hers, Jeremy's voice interrupted the serene moment. The compartment dividing the driver's seat from the rear of the limo slid open and he poked his head through. "Boss, we're here." He said, then froze when he realized what he interrupted. His mouth formed a little 'o' and he quickly moved away, shutting the compartment again. Derek had already released Camil

Camilla knew she had just stepped into a den of angry lionesses. Retreating was the only thing she could think of. But as she turned to leave, one of the women, a brunette, rushed forward and stopped her. "Oh come on in, Miss Rosenberg." She said with a bright fake smile. "We're all women here. There's nothing to be shy about."Camilla's smile was stiff as she let the brunette pull her back into the restroom and shut the door. The other women, all five of them, moved back, creating a path for her. "Thank you." She mumbled and walked towards the faucet. The restroom was deathly silent and the only sound was from the rush of water as she began to wipe her dress. She was already feeling uncomfortable with the silent stares and occasional whispers, so she hurriedly dried her hand and turned to leave. The brunette who pulled her back in appeared beside her and began to touch up her own make up. "You dress is absolutely lovely, Miss Rosenberg." She observed. "It must have cost a fortu

"Mr. Donovan!" Shelly shrieked, hurriedly backing away. The other women who were shocked to see a man in the ladies room quickly scampered out, clearly embarrassed. Derek entered the bathroom further and the door slammed shut behind him. "Take your hands off my wife." He uttered coldly, his hard eyes glaring straight at Melissa. Camilla shoved Melissa's hand away and took a step back. "Derek!" Melissa voiced out, her voice almost hysterical. "This is clearly unacceptable. Just because you're engaged to this woman doesn't mean she has the right to treat me this way. We were once a couple Derek."But to her utter shock, Derek totally ignored her. He didn't even spare her a single glance. He took Camilla's hand and turned towards the door, but Shelly's voice stopped him. "Mr. Donovan, you can't just barge in and out of a ladies room so freely." She said in that annoying high pitched voice of hers. "If word about something like this gets out, it could soil your reputation."Derek tur

Camilla opened her eyes to see Derek lying beside her, one hand wrapped firmly around her waist. She was in his room, with the bed sheets scattered around her legs. She was still dressed in the diamond gown she wore to the engagement party. But that wasn't what stole her breath. Derek was staring at her intently. He propped up himself on his elbow, while his other hand gently drew lazy circles round her waist to her hip. His eyes were half closed, the pupils hazy and dark as the night sky. He looked so breathtaking and Camilla felt her heart beat speed up. Their faces were just inches apart, and if she decided to move, her lips would touch his. Why was she in his embrace? Why was he gazing at her in that seductive way? "Derek?" She whispered. "Yes my love." He whispered back, and the endearment spoken in that raspy deep voice made her heart leap. "What–what are you doing?" She asked."Nothing. I love to watch you sleep. You're so beautiful." Derek replied. He lifted his hand to

The week flew by rapidly and before Camilla knew it, it was the day of her wedding. She would be getting married to Derek Donovan. She would be Mrs Donovan, billionaire wife. It all still felt like a dream to her. Just a few months ago, she had been kicked out of her ex husbands house, penniless and alone. Yet here she was, about to get married to the wealthiest billionaire in the city. If it was a dream indeed, she never wanted to wake up. As she took a relaxing warm bath that morning, her mind played over the events that had occurred the entire week. Derek had taken her with him to numerous important meetings with his business clients and partners. He wanted her to get familiar with the life she was about to step into, because she would need to play her part perfectly for the next three or more years. It had been one hell of a week, and with Derek's constant display of love and affection, the ice around her heart had begun to melt. It was inevitable and Camilla knew it. Derek w

Camilla stood in the middle of the room, staring at her reflection in the mirror. Her wedding gown screamed of luxury. Made from the finest and most expensive material, adorned with pearls and jewels. The top of the gown wrapped her chest snugly, before flaring out from her waist, covering her legs and feet. The veil swirled down her hair, making a long train behind her. Her make-up was perfection, and so was the flower bouquet she held. The emerald pearl necklace rested comfortable around her neck, the gemstone glittering prettily. She was rendered speechless as she stared at the mirror in awe. She hadn't felt this way during her first marriage with Nick. Right now, she felt like a real bride. The door opened and Lydia stepped in with Mabel. "Oh my dear child." Lydia gushed, her hands over her mouth. "You look so beautiful. The perfect bride."Camilla smiled shyly and slowly turned around to face her soon to be mother-in-law. "I'm so nervous." She whispered. "It is totally nor

Camilla felt a persistent ringing in her head, and every other sound gradually faded away. Her gaze fell on the gunshot wound on Derek's chest, bleeding profusely. The ringing intensified until it pounded in her head and ears. She stood frozen, oblivious of the chaos around her. Someone pushed past her violently and she staggered to the side, yet her gaze remained on Derek's bloody chest. There was so much blood. She felt he would collapse any minute. Yet he stood straight, barking orders to the armed body guards around him. Some of the armed security had rushed Lydia Donovan out of the church while everyone else was trying to run for cover. Derek then turned to Camilla and found her staring at him silently. Her eyes were glazed over, her lips slightly parted, her face pale. It seemed she was in a trance, and her gaze was lowered to the wound on his chest. Gritting his teeth against the pain, he held her arms and gently shook her. "Camilla! Camilla I am okay. I'm not hurt."But C

It didn't make sense to Derek at all. Why would someone deliberately target Camilla? He quietly stepped out of the room so he wouldn't disturb her. "I don't get it. Are they targeting her because she's my wife?" He asked angrily. "It's more complicated than that, Mr. Donovan." Perkins answered. "Are you aware of your wife's past marriage to Nick Sinclair?""I am. Don't tell me that bastard is behind this." Derek ceased his pacing, his jaw tightening with suppressed rage. He still remembered how Nick almost hit her that day at the lounge. It was the same man that had treated her like trash when they were married. "Not at all, but these are just speculations." Perkins said quickly. "We have no leads yet on the suspect behind the shooting. My men are doing all they can to dig out the shooter's identity. But until we find out who is behind it, I would advice she stay indoors at all times.""I'm not going to cage my wife just because some bastard wants to hurt her." Derek snapped. "I wa

In the blink of an eye, one week flew by. One week of pleasure, desire and whispered promises. Camilla wished they could stay a little bit longer in Paris. But she knew it was impossible. Their honeymoon was over, and Derek needed to return and take charge of his company. The flight back to New York was silent, but it was a comfortable one. Camilla slept all through, tired and content, snug in Derek's embrace. As for Derek, he tried not to let his annoyance show as he read through the text messages Jeremy had sent him. Apparently, Andrew had managed to get a few of the shareholders on his side and they were planning on sabotaging the entire company and gaining half of his entire assets. Derek didn't feel an ounce of worry. He knew the likes of Andrew Houston and he also knew how to deal with them. What he was bothered about was the fact that Andrew might make a move on Camilla or his mother, using them to get to him. He would have to protect them every way he could. The flight
Mr. CEO, Be Careful With My Heart Chapter 60: You ride me so good
"I want you to make love to me."Camilla's words echoed in Derek's ears until every other sound faded. His eyes darkened and without warning, he lifted her until her weight was in his hands, his fingers curling around her buttocks. "I'm not going to ask if you're sure." He rasped, his lips brushing over hers. "I am sure. I want you Derek. Make love to me."Her whispered response was all he needed. He strode into the room, with Camilla still cradled in his arms, tights claspsed tightly around his waist. He paused at the edge of the bed and slammed his lips on hers in a hot desperate kiss. It started slowly, gathering speed and momentum as they each tried to dominate the other. His powerful hands tightened around her buttocks as he rocked against her, his thick bulge straining for release. They broke the kiss, each gasping for air for a moment. Then Camilla tangled her hands in his hair and pulled his mouth back to hers. Her head fell back in surrender, her lips parted in a silen
Mr. CEO, Be Careful With My Heart Chapter 59: Make love to me
Paris was everything Camilla always dreamed about, and more. The city of love and romance, like her father used to say. She couldn't believe she was finally in her dream city, with the man she loved. The private jet landed at the airport and crawled round the tarmac until it came to a stop. She was still staring through the window, her gaze pinned on the scenario below her, when she felt Derek's warm touch. She turned around, and when he saw the tears gleaming in her eyes, he panicked for a moment. "What is it my love?" He asked worriedly. Camilla smiled and quickly wiped her eyes. Then she shook her head and looked back at him. "Nothing. I'm just a little bit emotional. I can't believe I'm actually here with you. Everything is so perfect and I can't help but feel overwhelmed."Her voice faltered when Derek leaned in and silenced her with a kiss. She shut her eyes and sighed, her lips moving slowly with his as he deepened the kiss. He gently grasped her chin, his thumb stroking
Mr. CEO, Be Careful With My Heart Chapter 58: Just you and me
"Marry me again, Camilla. For real this time."Camilla felt her heart leap within her, pounding hard against her chest. Her gaze clashed with his, her lips parted in shock, her expression one of disbelief. "What?" She whispered. "I know this is unexpected." Derek continued, then let out a soft chuckle. "Hell, I never expected to be in this position again. My heart has been closed off for ten years. But I met you, and your warmth thawed the ice around my heart. I love you desperately, Camilla. I want to spend eternity with you."Camilla was still in shock. Her heart raced, her mind wild with a million thoughts. Everything was happening so fast and it made her a bit terrified. One thing she had learned over the years was, whenever things were going perfectly for her, something always ruined it. She was terrified that something would ruin this peace and serenity she had with Derek. But on the other hand, she could no longer imagine a life without him. A life without waking up next to

"Do you remember this place?" Derek asked, slowly taking off his hands from her eyes. Camilla opened her eyes finally and looked up at the tall building before her. She smiled as memories assailed her mind. Of course she remembered it. Paragon Dining. It was the place she and Derek had their first dinner, before pictures of them flooded the internet. It was a fond memory, one she would never forget. "I do." She said, smiling up at him. "But why did you bring me here?""Impatient much." He said, gently taking her hand in his. "You'll find out soon enough."Camilla silently followed him, all the while wondering what he was up to. It was a cool evening and the night air caressed her bare hands. She had on a gorgeous, black, sleeveless evening dress, with silver heels and matching jewelries. Derek, as usual, looked utterly good looking in his grey tux. He had never looked more handsome. The parking lot of the diner was deserted, just as it had been that first time. To her surprise, t
Mr. CEO, Be Careful With My Heart Chapter 56: I feel the same way too
"How did you put the tracker in the necklace?" Camilla asked. She was seated in front of the mirror, staring at her reflection, then at Derek who stood behind her, drying her hair. They stood in the middle of the room before the large mirrors, wearing matching robes. Derek held a hair dryer and he raised it above her head, letting the hot air dry her damp hair. After several moments of pleasure, they finally left the bathroom. Camilla sat with her legs crossed on the sofa, smiling up at Derek who was playing with her hair as he dried it. "It was easy." He answered. "After our argument, I did a lot of thinking. I knew I had no other way of proving Nick's lies. So I told Perkins to run a background check. It turned out that video Nick showed you was a fake one.""It was?"Derek nodded. "It was edited, all to lure you out. I knew you would never believe me, so I had to find another way. Perkins had his men place a tracker on the necklace, and I gave it to you. With that, I would know
Mr. CEO, Be Careful With My Heart Chapter 55: Don't speak... just feel
When Derek arrived home with Camilla, he dismissed his entire staff. He didn't want her to feel worse than she already felt. The sports car slowed to a stop in the estate's parking lot and he got down. Camilla watched him walk round to the passenger's side and opened the door. Just when she wanted to come down, he leaned down and lifted her in his arms. "Derek... I can walk..." She protested softly. "I know that." He said. "But you and I know you're still shaken up with what happened. Don't pretend you're okay."Camilla opened her mouth to argue, but she realized he was right. She would probably collapse if she tried to walk. She could feel herself trembling, even in his arms. For a few seconds, Derek stood before the front door, staring silently at her. His stare was deep, intense, his eyes swirling with nameless emotions. He breathed her name, so soft that she almost didn't hear it. "What's wrong?" She whispered. Derek smiled and shook his head. "Nothing." He rasped. "I'm jus
Mr. CEO, Be Careful With My Heart Chapter 54: Let me take you home
"Get away from my wife." Derek said in a deadly calm voice. His eyes blazed with fury, his pupils dilating like black holes sucking in the light around him. Nick rolled away from Camilla, his expression one of extreme shock and a hint of fear which he tried to hide. How did Derek find their location? He zipped up his pants and stood there, trying to put on a fearsome look. "You have no business with her anymore Donovan. She divorced you. She's mine now." Derek's gaze didn't falter as he stepped further into the building. The other men backed away, their gazes flickering between him and the unconscious Craig. Two of the men brandished weapons, their eyes alert and ready to attack. Derek ignored them and walked over to Camilla who was huddled beside the wall, hugging her body and trembling. When his gaze fell on her ripped dress and the bloody bruise on her face, something snapped within him. As he crouched before her, Nick moved and grabbed his shoulder, pulling him back vici
Mr. CEO, Be Careful With My Heart Chapter 53: Get away from my wife!
Derek's handsome face was a mask of fury as he pressed down on the accelerator, zipping through the highway at top speed. Jaws clenched tightly, knuckles white from his hard grasp around the wheel, he navigated through the busy road, swerving occasionally into different lanes. As he drove, his gaze lowered to his cellphone. The red icon was still on the move, and there was quite a distance between him and the icon's location. He looked away and floored the pedal, making the sleek sports car jerk forward with insane speed. "Hold on, my love. I won't let that bastard hurt you." He murmured, his thoughts on Camilla. He should have tried harder in convincing her not to go. He had been so annoyed when she chose to go back to her him. Even when he knew she was going back to him because of her father, it didn't stop him from feeling a bit jealous. And now she was in danger. If anything happened to her, he would never forgive himself. He cast one last look at his cellphone before taking
