Once you have another job offer, your acceptance could be with a start date more than two weeks away so that there is more time between letting people know you are leaving and your last day.
Two weeks notice is often discussed as a minimum amount of notice, not that employers feel bound by it when letting people go. But you can always give more notice...or less.
Anyway, there's no reason to feel bad about leaving other than missing the people or the work. It's a team that people are paid to be on. If it can't survive one person leaving the company is in trouble.
Finally, your relationship with the CEO appears not to be such that the CEO anticipated that you might leave and proactively taken steps to prevent it or at least discuss it.

Good luck.
