All Chapters of Mr. CEO, Be Careful With My Heart: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

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

Minutes later, Camilla stepped out of the room and joined Derek in the dining room. Derek was still on a call, his back turned towards her. From the sound of his voice, she could tell he was pissed. She silently walked past him, but his arm shot out suddenly and wrapped around her waist. She stared at him in surprise, her eyebrows raised. But he ignored her and kept giving orders to the person on the other end of the call. "Get back to me immediately you're done." He ended the conversation and hung up. Then he turned to face her, smiling teasingly. "Are you okay?" He asked. "Yes. Why wouldn't I be?" Camilla replied, frowning up at him. "I was just concerned for my wife." He said. Camilla looked away from him, unable to keep eye contact. Whenever he addressed her as his wife, it always made her heart flutter. Derek smiled at her reaction, glancing over the light pink night dress she chose to wear. The matching jacket hid most of her figure from his gaze and he frowned in discomf

"I have an important meeting with some business associates today." Derek said as he stood before the mirror, buttoning his shirt. Camilla turned around on the bed and gazed at him. He was impeccably dressed, and he stood before the mirror, fussing with his tie. "Would you like to come with me?" He asked further when she kept staring at him. Camilla jerked her eyes away from his muscled abs and broad shoulders, and looked at him. "Do you mind if I stay back?" She murmured. "I'm still shaken from the incident that occurred on our wedding.""Don't worry about any of that." Derek assured her with a smile. "The police are doing everything they can. But until then, remember what we discussed. I know it would be bothersome to you, being trailed by bodyguards. But it's the only way I can be assured of your safety.""I understand." Camilla nodded. She got off the bed, tightening the belt of her robe another waist. "I was thinking of going shopping today. I barely have anything to wear, so i

"The police are on their way." Shirley said smugly, dropping the phone. "As for this black card, I think I'll hold on to it until they find out who you stole it from.""You have no idea whom you're dealing with." Camilla muttered. She didn't bother to trade words with them because she knew it would cause a scene. She moved away from them and brought out her phone. The first number she dialed was Derek's and he picked on the first ring. "My love, are you okay?" His voice was both deep and relaxed when he answered. "I hope I didn't interrupt your meeting." She said apologetically."Of course not. You're more important." Apparently, Derek was in the middle of a very important meeting with his business associates when he saw her call. But he answered nonetheless, interrupting the middle aged man who was still speaking. "I need your help."Derek could hear the discomfort in her voice, even though she tried to hide it, and it piqued his attention. He got up instantly and walked out of

"Would you wait here for me? I have to return to my meeting." Derek said as he stepped into his office with Camilla beside him. Camilla looked up at him in surprise. "You left your meeting because of me?" She asked. "Derek you really didn't have to...""Camilla you're my wife. Anything that concerns you, concerns me." Derek gently interrupted her. "What did you expect me to do when you called? Tell you to figure it out yourself?"Camilla shrugged and looked away. She hadn't really expected him to leave such an important meeting. If she had known he was in the middle of something important, she never would have called. Derek then took her to the large executive chair behind the desk and lowered her on it. Then he leaned over her, his hands trapping her on the chair. "I know our marriage is based on a contract, and there are rules to follow." He said. "But we are legally married. You're my wife, and I am your husband. We should care...""Care about each other always, whether in publi
