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.

Chapter: Silent Distance
Skylar“You have to watch her closely,” Dr. Nathaniel said. “No late nights, no stressful conversations, no work and no overthinking. Skylar needs peace of mind more than anything. Her body has gone through trauma, but her mind…” he paused, adjusting his glasses, “…her mind must heal too. Limit visitors. Give her nutritious meals. And most importantly, listen when she wants to talk.”Mother nodded like a student before her teacher. “Of course, Doctor. We will follow every instruction, one after the other. Not a single thing will be missed. I promise you that.”Cole, who had been standing beside her with his arms folded, stepped forward and shook the doctor’s hand. “Thank you, Dr. Nathaniel. Really. Thank you for everything you’ve done for my family.”I managed a small smile. “Thank you, Doctor.”In my heart, I was just glad this would be the last time I would hear his lectures inside this white, cold building. I was finally leaving this h

Chapter: Wild Temptation
AmeliaThe moment Cole’s car disappeared through the gate, my tears instantly stopped.I clenched my fists in anger and before I could stop myself, grabbed the flower vase on the center table and smashed it to the ground.“Damn you, Celeste!” I hissed, my voice trembling with fury.That spoiled, arrogant brat! She dared to open her stinking, rotten mouth!Margo stepped into the living room, her eyes widening as they darted from the broken vase to my face. “Ms. Amelia, are you… are you alright?”I turned on her sharply. “Did I call for you? Did I send for you? Get out of here!”“I—I’m sorry, Ms. Amelia,” she quickly muttered and fled.I took a deep breath, trying to control my temper, but I just couldn't!Celeste. This was all her fault! This was exactly why working with immature, spoiled brats was so exhausting. She had nearly ruined everything. Everything! I had worked so hard, planned so carefully, la

Chapter: One Last Chance
Cole“Cole?” Amelia's eyes widened in surprise immediately she opened the door and saw me. “I didn't know you were coming.” She moved aside quickly, ushering me in. “Come in, please. Is everything okay?”I walked past her into the living room. The smell of fresh coffee lingered in the air. On the table were a few magazines and a half-finished cup. “How’s Skylar?” she asked quickly, shutting the door and following me. “Is she… is she doing okay? Is the therapy helping her recover? I’ve been so worried.”I stared at her. This was someone I had taken as family, protected her and provided her with nothing but the best. She sounded all concerned about Skylar, but behind her soft voice, behind those questions, I kept hearing Jason’s words. The money transfers. The evidence. Why?Why would Amelia do this?I thought back to the time she had shown Skylar those pictures and videos of me with Luciana. Had her goal always been to

Chapter: The Weight Of Proof
Cole “What?!” The word ripped out of me before I could hold it back. I shot to my feet, my chair screeching loudly against the floor. I couldn’t believe what Jason had just said. Jason, however, didn’t flinch. His face was calm, too calm, though I saw the exhaustion in his eyes. With a heavy sigh, he reached into his briefcase, pulled out a thick folder, and tossed it onto the table between us. I looked at the folder. I couldn’t bring myself to touch it. A small part of me wished Jason would laugh and tell me it was a cruel joke, that he was simply trying to prank me or something. But the way he leaned back in his chair, his expression cold and serious, told me this was no joke. “Go on,” Jason said quietly, “see for yourself.” My throat was dry. My fingers twitched, but I still didn’t move. I looked up at him, hoping for a sign that this wasn’t real. But he only nodded, insisting with his eyes

Chapter: A Foolish Heart
JasonI fastened the strap of my wristwatch and adjusted it over my wrist. The day ahead of me wasn’t one I was looking forward to, but it had to be done. I had put it off long enough. Cole needed to know everything, and after that, both of us would decide what would happen next and the next step to take.I pushed open the door of my room and stepped into the hallway. I had barely taken three steps when I heard a faint voice behind me.“Brother…”I stopped. My jaw tightened as that weak, pitiful, annoying tone reached my ears. I didn’t even bother to turn.“Weren’t you asked to remain in your room?” I asked coldly.Behind me, there was a shaky sniff. I finally turned. Celeste stood there, her face pale, her eyes red and wet with tears… typical Celeste.Her lips trembled as she whispered, “Please, brother… I came to beg you one more time. I know I disappointed you, and I also know you’re angry with me. But… I don’t want to go to jail.”I stared at her for a long moment, unmoved by the

Chapter: Deep Chills
ColeA few minutes earlier…Keith’s name flashed on my phone, and the moment I heard his voice, I could already tell something was wrong.“Sir,” Keith began, “Mr. Ethan is with Mrs. Buckman.”I froze. “What do you mean he’s with her?” I snapped.“He insisted on seeing her, and when I tried to stop him, Mrs. Buckman… she was the one who ordered that he be allowed in.”My jaw tightened so hard. My hand gripped the phone until my knuckles whitened. “She allowed him in?”“Yes, Sir.”Why would Skylar do this? She knew very well what Ethan was capable of. She knew the chaos he carried with him. Yet she disregarded my instructions and let him into her ward.“Alright. I’ll handle it myself,” I muttered over the phone and I ended the call.Without wasting another second, I grabbed my keys and stormed out. By the time I reached the hospital, my blood was already boiling.I walked quickly down the corridor, my chest tight with anger. When I reached her ward, I was ready to push the door open and

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
