All Chapters of Mr. CEO, Be Careful With My Heart: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

The drive to Derek's estate was silent and Camilla preferred it that way. She needed time to prepare herself mentally for what was about to happen. "How's your mom like?" She asked, unable to keep still. "You'll love her." Derek answered, one hand spinning the wheel as the Rolls-Royce sped down the highway. "She's the sweetest soul you'll ever meet, but mess with her and risk unleashing the fury within her." Camilla gulped nervously. "She sounds–scary." He chuckled and reached over to pat her hand. "You'll be fine. As a matter of fact, you remind me of her in a way." Camilla was taken aback by his words. So that was what he meant when he said she reminded him of someone dear to him, back at the motel the night they had that dinner. She had assumed he meant a lost love. After what seemed like an eternity, they arrived at the grand estate. The large silver gates automatically pulled open as the Rolls-Royce slowed down in front of it. The estate was magnificent. The front yard

The moment the news of Derek and Camilla's engagement hit the media, it seemed the entire New York had been hit by an earthquake. Every news channel and social media took up the news. The headlines were bold and blaring: New York's billionaire heartthrob breaks the ice as he shares photos of his gorgeous fiancée, Camilla Rosenberg. The press and paparazzi were constantly gathered around Derek's estate, eager to see the new couple, waiting with their cameras and millions of questions. The news spread from mouth to mouth until the entire New York was breathing the same word. Billionaire CEO, Derek Donovan had finally found a bride. Derek knew this was what would happen the moment the news became known, but he had planned it well. This time, he wasn't trending because of a scandal. The news would actually increase his fame and skyrocket his companies and businesses.As for Camilla, she was still trying to get used to this new fame. Seeing pictures of her face splashed all over the n

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

"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

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
