All Chapters of The CEO's Unwanted Bride : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Derek’s POV I took a step closer to Lily, not sure what to do or say. After Lucas had said those horrible things the other day, I was expecting something crazier or less crazy about Lily or how my mom found her. When my mom first introduced her, I wasn’t in my right senses to actually think about her name but now, it suddenly made sense.   “My mom gave you a new name last year,” She nodded. “Yes for a reason that I can’t tell you,” She replied, breathing heavily.   “Why?” I inquired. She had been repeating the words for some reason because she doesn’t want to say what I actually want to hear. “I’m sorry,”   “I’m not asking you to apologize because you haven’t done anything wrong, I’m just asking you to tell me why you’re Lily Miller instead of whatever name you’re supposed to bear,” After a long silence, she managed to say. “It’s a long story,”   “Luckily

LILY’S POV “Good afternoon, Miss, how may I help you?” “Hello, I’m Lily Miller and I’m here to see Derek Miller,”   The text I received from Mrs. Miller was about Derek and she told me he was at work, sick, and being too stubborn to leave so his father demanded I bring him home. On my way here, I’d tried calling his number but he wasn’t picking up. I tried calling Q as well but he also didn’t pick up my call. If I say I wasn’t worried, I would be lying.   “Do you have an appointment with him?” She asked and I nodded. “I think I do,” I answered. The lady nodded, she looked down at her laptop, checked then looked back up at me.   “I’m sorry Miss Miller but I’m afraid you don’t have an appointment and I can’t find your name on the visitor log as well. I’m sorry,”“You’re saying I can’t see him without an appointment, right?” I asked here. She nodded with a smile again.  

Derek’s POV “You were the last person I was expecting to see in my house this evening,” Caster clicked his tongue, and walked into the kitchen.   I got discharged from the hospital a few minutes ago and arrived at my house to meet Caster eating at my dining table. It wasn’t something I’d expected in any way and that was the same way I didn’t expect to be hospitalized yesterday at the hospital.   After the doctor ran some tests and found out it wasn’t anything major, I was surprised when he said I had to stay back for the day so they could monitor my health status. I argued for a long time but he won’t change his decision or bulge and I didn’t have a choice but to stay.   Remind me next time not to use that damned family hospital again.   “I thought you died,” Caster replied, walking back into the dining room. I cocked my eyebrow. “Were you disappoint

LILY’s POV“Girl, you look so good,” Scarlet gushed as she moved closer to me. She placed her nose on my neck and sniffed. I moved my shoulder and shifted her head while giggling. “You smell like a bag of money, God!” I laughed. “What’s up with you, tonight?” I asked her. Scarlet wasn’t the type to layout compliments like that. I don’t know if she was as reserved as I was or if she was giving out the same vibes she got from me but she had never been that loud about how I looked or how I smelled. It was Friday night already. When I told scarlet I would be attending the party with her, she was super excited about not going alone. She decided to pick me up tonight by eight and this was two hours after Derek left the house. He didn’t say anything about the party or asked me to be careful like I expected from him. I was actually surpri

LILY’S POV My heart aches for you, Lily and yes, I’m crazy about you,” My world went silent almost immediately and all I could feel were butterflies fluttering inside of me. My heart raced at his words and I didn’t know what to make of them. “Derek!” his name was the only thing that made sense. That was all I could bring myself to say. I thought he had played me earlier when he waited for the bad guy to attack me before he intervened. I was so mad at him that I ignored him throughout the ride even though a part of me wanted to cry in his arms.“Fuck it,” his groans dragged me back to life and made me realize he was right in front of me. I grabbed hold of his hands as I looked up at him. There was a burning passion in his eyes and I found myself arching my body towards him. This was the man I hated, the one who haunted my dreams and reality, the same person I can&
