All Chapters of Mr. CEO, Be Careful With My Heart: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

"Ma'am watch where you're going!" A voice snapped at Camilla, pulling her out of her daydream. She whipped around, her gaze falling on the irritated customer she almost ran into. The man glared at her before turning away, pulling his cart along with him. "Sorry." Camilla muttered, even when she knew he wouldn't hear her. Sighing softly, she pushed her own cart towards the counter, yawning tiredly and rubbing her eyes. While she waited for her turn to pay, her eyelids drooped sleepily.If she could just get a few hours of undisturbed sleep, she would feel much better. But that was a luxury she knew she wouldn't get. Her mother-in-law had barged into her room that morning before the sun crawled up. In her high pitched voice, she ordered Camilla to get up and prepare breakfast for the entire family, because they would be having an important guest. As usual Nick, her husband, didn't say a word to stop his mother. He had never defended her nor taken her side whenever she was being mis

The first voice Camilla heard when she gained consciousness was from a doctor. "She will be fine. She's just under a lot of stress and extremely fatigued. She will need a lot of rest."Another voice spoke out. "I was so close to hitting her." From the sound of his voice, he seemed relieved that she was okay. "You're lucky the car stopped just in time." The doctor replied. "It would have been a fatal accident. Do you know if she has any relatives we could reach out to?""We don't know her." The other man spoke again. "I was driving too fast and almost didn't see her in the middle of the road. I don't even know who she is."There was a short bout of silence, and then the doctor spoke out. "I really appreciate your help in bringing her here, Mr Donovan. I know how risky this is for you. We will get in touch with her family if they live in the city."Mr Donovan. The name sounded strangely familiar to Camilla. She waited for him to speak. He did after a while. His voice was musical, de

The moment Derek's lips closed over hers, Camilla's entire body froze. Her eyes remained wide open in shock, her hands pinned to her side with his large palms. He was leaning over her, but he held her tightly against his chest.She stayed frozen for a few more seconds before coming back to her senses. With a deep frown, she raised her hands to push him away from her, but Derek's grip tightened. When she tried to twist her face away, he reached up and gently grabbed her hair, keeping her in place. Fortunately, Jeremy and the other workers paid no heed to them. They stepped through the front doors of the motel and disappeared inside. Relieved that he hadn't been discovered, Derek pulled back and let out a sigh. But what happened next shocked the hell out of him. Camilla slapped him. Her palm connected solidly with his cheek and he felt the sting go over his face. He even staggered slightly with the force of it. "You bastard!" She shrieked, moving away from him. "How dare you put you

It was almost noon when Camilla awakened the next morning. She opened her eyes and gazed at the digital clock on the bedside table. 11:48AM Surprised that she had slept in really late, she rolled over and stretched. She couldn't remember the last time she had such a good sleep. Back in Nick's house, her mother-in-law would have dragged her out of bed even before sunrise. It was so nice to be finally free. Now all she had to do was find a job that would pay well. Then rent a nice single room apartment. She would be alone, but happy and content. She pushed the covers away and got out of bed. Her nose wrinkled with distaste when she started at her rumpled dress. She needed new clothes. The men who tried to rob her the previous night had stolen her box which contained the few clothes she had and some cash. Making up her mind, she hurried into the bathroom to freshen up. Putting on the same old dress after showering was difficult, but she had no choice. Just as she was about to

"You? You did this to me?" Derek stood before his mother, staring at her unbelievably. When Kyle told him that the photo had been traced to his mother's personal bodyguard, he had been in denial. She wouldn't do something so atrocious to him. But as he stood before her now, staring at her defiant expression, he realized his mother would go to any length to pair him with a woman. "Yes I did Derek, and I don't regret it." Lady Donovan said. "A mother must do all she can to help her child if that child insists on not helping himself."Derek opened his mouth to speak, then stopped and took a breath. If he spoke with the rage he was feeling, it wouldn't end well. And with his mother's fragile health, he had to be careful with her. He took another deep breath to calm himself before opening his eyes. "Have you seen the news mother?" He asked quietly. "There's a reason why I try to keep myself away from the press, and you know that reason. Which makes me wonder why you would do something
