Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire

Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire

Skylar McLair’s world falls apart when her father is caught in a scandal that leaves him bankrupt and in a coma. Just when she needs him most, her boyfriend Ethan turns cold and proposes to a wealthy heiress- claiming Skylar is no longer worthy to be his wife. Instead, he offers her something cruel: become his mistress, and he’ll save her family's status and reputation. After all, he is the heir to the powerful Buckman Corporation. But fate steps in… wearing Cole Buckman’s name. Cole, Ethan’s distant and mysterious stepbrother- and the true heir to the Buckman empire, comes into Skylar’s life through a contract marriage she never expected. To the world, he’s ruthless and unreadable. But to Skylar, he becomes something else entirely. Every time she stumbles, he’s right there- steady hands catching her before she falls. And whenever trouble finds her, he shows up without fail, like he’s been watching over her all along. She begins to think he’s simply a good man caught in the middle of a family war. What she doesn’t see… is that Cole has been drawing her in from the very beginning. Step by step. And by the time Skylar realizes she’s fallen into his trap- one built not of lies, but of desire and something else…her heart may already be his. As for Ethan? Let’s just say… he never saw it coming.

Skylar“Skylar, I swear if you don’t talk to him right now, I’m calling the police!” Amber’s voice blared through the phone.I pulled the phone slightly away from my ear, wincing at the volume. “Amber, calm down. What’s going on this time?”“What’s going on?” she repeated, her tone sharp. “What’s going on is that Xavier is in my apartment… again! He’s pacing around like some kind of bodyguard and won’t even let me leave because I said I was going on a date with Marcus! I can’t even breathe in my own house!”I sighed, rubbing my forehead. “Oh, not again.”Honestly, I was tired. Deep down, truly tired of the endless push-and-pull between those two. They acted this same way at my wedding. One minute, they were fighting. The next, they were acting like nothing happened. Then they’d fight again, and somehow, I was always the one stuck in the middle trying to fix things.Why couldn’t they just either break up for good or get back together already?“Skylar, are you listening to me?” Amber sn

SkylarThree months later…The soft knock on the door stirred me awake, and I couldn't help but smile the moment I opened my eyes.This was finally it… the day I had been waiting for. Yes, you guessed right… it was my wedding day!I jumped out of bed, feeling my heart race with excitement, and hurried to open the door.Standing there, with a mischievous grin and bright eyes, was none other than Amber.“Good morning, our beautiful bride!” she sang dramatically, her arms spread wide. “Ready for the biggest, happiest day of your life?”I couldn’t help but laugh. “I was born ready.”Amber squealed and wrapped her arms around me tightly. “Oh, Skylar… I’m so proud of you. I’ve watched you fight through storms, pick yourself up when life knocked you down, and still manage to love with all your heart. You deserve every bit of happiness coming your way.”Her words hit deep, and I hugged her even tighter. “Thank you, Amber. You’ve been my sister in every way that counts. You stood by me when I

Cole“What do you mean the company will no longer be funding me?” Rufus’ voice thundered across the room.“Exactly what you heard, Sir,” I said calmly. “The board of directors agreed that the company can no longer allocate monthly funds to you. The money you’ve been receiving was only meant for shareholders, and since you don’t hold any valid shares anymore… well, that privilege doesn’t apply to you.”Rufus’s face darkened. He looked like he’d just been slapped. “You’re joking,” he said in disbelief. “The Buckman Corporation belongs to this family! MY family! You think a bunch of old men can sit in a boardroom and decide to cut me off?”Before anyone could stop him, he reached for the glass antique vase on the nearby shelf and slammed it to the floor. The sound of shattering glass filled the room, followed by his ragged breathing.I didn’t flinch.In fact, I kept my face perfectly composed, especially with Grandfather sitting quietly on the couch nearby, his walking cane resting besid

Amber“Amber, you need to be very careful with men,” Xavier said firmly. “Sometimes they can have ulterior motives… especially when you least expect it.”I blinked at him, trying not to laugh. Was he been serious right now?Rolling my eyes, I crossed my arms and gave him a look. “Wow, really, Xavier? You’re giving me ‘boy’s advice’ now?”He frowned. “I’m just saying…”“I have everything under control,” I interrupted, my tone calm but sharp. “Marcus is my business client. We were talking about business. So where is all this coming from?”Xavier’s jaw tightened. He looked like he wanted to argue, but I wasn’t done yet.“And besides,” I continued, tilting my head, “we’re not even together anymore, remember? We’re just friends now. So… why do you care so much?”For a second, he just stood there — mouth slightly open, no words coming out. Then he closed it again, exhaled, and looked away.“I’m just looking out for you,” he muttered, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly. “That’s all. I kn

AmberI checked my watch again and sighed deeply. “Patience, Amber. Just have patience.”I took another sip from my glass of water, trying not to lose my composure. The client I was supposed to meet in this restaurant was already twenty-five minutes late.Twenty five whole minutes.I wasn’t usually this patient, but this deal was too big and important to just walk away from. Still, if I waited another five more minutes and didn’t see him, I would leave. People who couldn’t respect time wouldn't possibly understand how to efficiently run a business, no matter how rich they were.To distract myself, I pulled out my phone and called Skylar. She picked up on the first ring.“Amber! You sound stressed already,” Skylar teased.I groaned. “That’s because I am. Can you believe this man hasn’t shown up yet? It’s been almost half an hour, Sky. Half an hour! Not even a call or text. Some of these clients think they’re gods, that people should wait around for them. If this deal wasn’t so importan

Cole“How could you be so stupid, Vanessa?!” Rufus shouted, his voice trembling with rage.I sat quietly on the sofa beside Grandfather, both of us watching the chaos unfold in front of us. Vanessa was kneeling on the floor, sobbing uncontrollably.“I-I didn’t know, Rufus!” she cried. “I didn’t know that Mr. Raph was going to dupe me! I was only trying to help our son! He promised me that…”“Enough!” Rufus snapped, cutting her off. “You never listen, do you? I told you to let me handle it! But no! You just had to go behind my back!”Vanessa suddenly snapped.“Were you expecting me to just sit and wait forever?” she shouted through her tears. “You kept saying you’d take care of it, but you did nothing! My son is suffering in that godforsaken country, and you expect me to sit quietly and watch?!”Rufus clenched his fists tightly in anger. “Do you even realize the depth of what you’ve done?” he yelled. “In your stupid attempt to ‘save’ your son, you tricked me into signing documents that

Chapter: Where I Belong
REGINA I made my way to Marcy’s room shortly after seeing Lionel. She looked so small lying there, her face pale but serene. Her hands rested on her swollen belly protectively, even in her sleep. My heart clenched at the sight of her. The sister I had thought I’d lost forever was here again, and despite everything we had endured, there was hope. Then I thought of the tragedy that had befallen her—of Silas and everything else. Victor had indeed taken more than we could imagine. “Marcy,” I whispered as I approached her bed. Her eyes fluttered open, groggy but quickly filling with recognition. “Regina?” she murmured, her voice hoarse. I nodded, tears already welling up. “It’s me.” She eased into a smile. “I just knew you could do it. I just knew you could. You’ve always been just too strong.” I laughed as I planted a kiss on her forehead. “How’s the b

Chapter: A New Dawn
LIONEL The first thing I noticed was the sterile smell of antiseptic. My body felt heavy, but the softness of the hospital bed was comforting. Slowly, I blinked my eyes open. Regina’s face came into focus. Her hair was slightly disheveled, dark circles shadowed her eyes, but she was the most beautiful sight I’d ever seen. Her hand rested on mine, her touch grounding me. “Lionel,” she whispered, her voice filled with relief and tenderness. Tears welled up in her eyes as she leaned closer. “You’re awake.” I managed a weak smile. “Hey…” Before I could say more, Grandpa appeared by her side, his face a mixture of concern and relief. Ryker and Gwen were there too, their expressions lighter than I’d seen in days. “You gave us quite the scare, kid,” Grandpa said, his gruff tone unable to mask the emotion in his voice. “Victor?” I rasped, the memories of the fight f

Chapter: Showdown
REGINA “No,” I whispered, cradling Lionel closer. His breathing was shallow, his usually vibrant eyes clouded with pain. Victor stood a few paces away, lowering his weapon with a chilling casualness. “You should've just cooperated with the plan, Regina.” He chuckled disdainfully. “You and that pathetic excuse of an alpha.” “Don’t you dare!” Marcy’s voice cut through the tension, and I turned just in time to see her charging at Victor. “Marcy, no!” I screamed, but it was too late. Victor swatted her away like she was nothing, sending her flying into the side of the truck. She hit the metal with a sickening thud, collapsing in a heap. My mouth dropped open, my scream coming uncontrollably. “Stay down, girl,” Victor sneered, turning his attention back to me. I froze, my arms tightening protectively around Lionel. Every instinct screamed at me to fight, but my b

Chapter: Let’s End This
REGINA I and Marcy had been together in the room, waiting, when we heard the sounds of the war going on outside the building. Lionel was here. At first, a feeling of joy and assurance rushed to me, but almost immediately, a certain panic rushed through me when we had waited for quite long enough and Lionel was yet to show up. “Are you sure he’s still okay?” Marcy asked, the fear in her voice evident. “He is okay.” I replied with all certainty. “Nothing could happen to Lionel!” Then the men suddenly stormed in, barking orders. Marcy and I rose hastily and followed the men down the corridors, all the way to the back of the warehouse. Soon, we were out in the dark and there was nothing but the dim lights of the moon to guide us through. I could still hear the faint buzz of war on the other far end of the building. Axel led the group of Victor’s men, his expression unreadable, but

Chapter: Final Confrontation
LIONEL His taunting words drove me mad, but I refused to give him the satisfaction of seeing me fall apart. I clenched my jaw, focusing on my breathing as I adjusted my stance, preparing for the next round. But Victor wasn’t done. He was playing with me, like a predator toying with its prey. He danced just out of reach, circling me, his every movement calculated, precise. “You know, Lionel,” he began. “I’ve always admired your strength. But strength doesn’t mean anything when it’s built on lies. Your so-called ‘perfect love’ with Regina? It’s a joke. You’re both weak, just like your parents were. Too sentimental. Too tied down by your pathetic little bond.” His words struck harder than any blow he could throw, reminding me of all the mistakes I’d made, of all the things I’d failed to protect. The past kept clawing at me, refusing to let go. I roared in fury, charging toward him once more, but this time, I cou

Chapter: Ambush
LIONEL All I needed was a location and just that, Arturo had provided. Another site, another holding of Victor’s. Even if it meant going to a hundred locations this same night, as long as I was not dead, I was going to set my eyes on Regina and there was nothing that could be done to change that. As we drew closer to the warehouse where Regina was supposedly held, we knew better than to just storm our way in. We needed to maintain a low profile. The warehouse loomed ahead, its corrugated metal walls dull and rusted under the dim glow of the moonlight. A faint chill ran down my spine as I scanned the perimeter. This was the place. I could feel it in my gut. Regina was inside, and I wasn’t leaving without her. Ryker crouched beside me, his face set in grim determination. Arturo and his men from the Eric Circle pack fanned out behind us, their movements silent and purposeful. Each of them carried
