Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 20:

Derek held the woman he desired in his embrace, and their wedding was just around the corner. Yet, he found himself hesitating.

Seeing Derek lost in thought, Madeline gently shook his shoulder and said with a pout, “I know you’re busy. If you’re too busy, we can chat later when you’re free. Right now, your career comes first.”

Wrapping his arm around her, Derek reassured her, “You’re my priority, not work. When will your parents arrive? I’ll make time for them.”

“You’re so kind, Derek!” Madeline smiled. “I asked my parents, and they said they’d be back in three days.”

Madeline’s parents had spent the past year overseas on business.

Derek tenderly held her face, sealing his words with a kiss. “I’ll do it because I love you. Whatever you wish, consider it yours.”

Madeline hesitated before voicing her desire, “What I truly wish for is that lakeside villa to be our wedding house.” Her eyes shone with hope.

Derek frowned, scowling. “That villa is meant for Norah. You should choose another place.”

Remembering Norah’s words, he gritted his teeth. What a wild one she was! Ever since she left the Carter family, she had been hooking up with… If it weren’t for her help in his recovery from the coma, he wouldn’t have given her a penny.

“Derek, Norah doesn’t deserve our kindness. We’ve been so good to her, but she treats us poorly and gets involved with Mr. Scott. Maybe they’ve been seeing each other for a while!” Madeline clung to him, unable to conceal the jealousy shining in her eyes.

Madeline knew Derek hadn’t completely let go of Norah yet. If he had, he would have said yes to her request. She hadn’t done everything she needed to; she still had to break Derek’s obsession with Norah.
