I leaned back in my seat, letting out a soft sigh of contentment. The food the chef brought up had been delicious, and after resting a bit on the couch, I finally stood up, brushing my dress straight.

"Thank you for the meal," I said softly, reaching for my bag. "I think I’ll head back to the company. I need to hand over some files to Tara, and then I’ll make my way to the celebration party."

Cole looked up at me, his expression unreadable. He gave a small, stiff nod and looked away.

I paused, my hand still on the strap of my bag. "Are you okay?" I asked, tilting my head slightly.

He didn't respond for a second, then just muttered, "Yes."

I frowned. There was something off about him, but I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. He had been so warm earlier, yet now he was acting like I’d wronged him somehow. I sighed quietly. Cole was still a mystery to me in so many ways. Sometimes it felt like he was putting up walls right in front of me, and no matter how much I tried, I could

    Skylar"Skylar, slow down with the drink," Amber said softly, watching me with worried eyes.But I didn’t listen. I grabbed the glass and emptied it in one gulp, the bitter liquid burning my throat as it went down. I wanted the bitterness, I wanted to feel the sting. I wanted something, anything, to drown out the sharp pain in my chest.Amber sighed and leaned back in her seat. "I shouldn’t have told you like that," she muttered, sounding guilty. "I should have waited. Maybe told you after you had calmed down, or better still, told you to go home first and think it through before confronting Cole."I shook my head firmly and set my glass back on the table with a loud clunk. "No, Amber, don’t blame yourself," I said quickly. "You did the right thing. I needed to know immediately. I would have been angry if you hid it from me. You did nothing wrong. It’s just… Cole…" I couldn’t finish. The words got stuck in my throat, and I swallowed hard.Amber reached out to pat my hand gently, but I

  • Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire    Boardroom Confrontation

    ColeThe moment Amelia walked out of the office, I leaned back in my chair, my eyes trailing after her figure until she was completely out of sight. I turned towards Xavier, who was standing by the window, tapping away on his tablet."Do you think it’s safe for her to come out like this?" I asked. "The owner of the Eclipse Club is still searching for her, isn't he?… making a public appearance like this could cause problems."Xavier paused and looked at me. He closed his tablet slowly before speaking."From what I could gather, it seems like the searches for Amelia have been minimized. Almost completely. It seems like whoever was behind the search has backed off. I haven’t seen any movement or heard anything from their end in a while."I frowned, confused. That didn’t sound right. I thought the Eclipse Club owner wasn’t someone to give up so easily, especially after what happened. Still, if Xavier said things were quiet, then maybe it was fine… at least for now."Even so," I muttered,

    SkylarI was sitting in my office, staring at my laptop screen while finishing up the last few sketches of my task. My hands moved quickly over the drawing tablet, adding soft lines and sharp details to make the design perfect.Just then, I heard a soft knock on my office door before it opened right away. Tara stepped in, her face glowing with excitement.“Skylar!” she called out, almost bouncing where she stood. “I have amazing news!”I blinked in surprise and sat up straight. Seeing Tara so happy made my heart race. “What is it?” I asked, my voice almost shaking.Tara hurried to my desk, still smiling brightly. “The directors have finished reviewing your design collection.”I leaned forward, my heart thumping with anticipation. “And…?”Tara clapped her hands, her smile widening. “They loved it, Skylar! Your collection has been approved!”I gasped loudly, covering my mouth with my hands. “No way… you’re serious?!”“Yes!” Tara nodded, her eyes sparkling. “Completely serious!”I couldn

  • Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire    A Sweet Little Visit

    AmeliaI stood by the window, staring at the quiet street outside. The house was so empty now. Cole and Skylar had both left for work earlier. I listened carefully to make sure Ingrid was busy in the kitchen. When I was sure no one was near, I took out my phone.I dialed my friend, Caro, a reporter who always loved a good gossip. She picked up on the first ring."Hey," I said sweetly. "I have something interesting you might like."Caro giggled on the other side. "Tell me, Amelia. You know my ears are already itching to know.""Oh, it’s very good," I whispered, lowering my voice. "Something about Cole Buckman and Skylar McLair being in a fake, contract marriage.”“What?! Are you serious, Amelia? But how could that be?”“Think about it, Caro. Why do you think a billionaire like Cole Buckman would marry someone so simple and mediocre like Skylar? It's obvious he clearly just wanted something from her and hence, a contract marriage was formed. I don't really know the details, but I'm cert

  • Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire    Bottom Drawer

    AmeliaI sat in my room, my fists clenched in pure rage. My chest was just burning with anger.This was not how I imagined things would go. Not even close!I had played my cards well. I had broken that useless jewelry set, skillfully planted it carefully inside Skylar’s room when I was searching the drawer, and stirred up trouble with just the right amount of tears. But instead of Cole throwing Skylar out or at least being mad at her, he didn't even do anything! Nothing at all!With a loud growl, I slammed my palm against the lamp on my bedside table. The lamp tumbled to the floor, the light flickering before it died out.Damn it all!Cole was supposed to be in my grasp by now. I had been so sure he had completely softened towards me. All those smiles, the kind words, the attention—I had thought I already had him wrapped around my fingers. Clearly, I had been so wrong.I spent the entire day in my room, too angry to do anything. I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t even bring

  • Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire    Breaking the Illusion

    ColeMy eyes widened in shock as I stared at Skylar. My mind couldn’t process what I was seeing. Slowly, I turned to look at her, hoping for some kind of explanation, anything to make sense of this mess.She was still standing at the entrance of the room. Her arms were crossed, her face calm, as if she wasn’t bothered at all by what we just found."Skylar," I said, my voice lower than usual, "what is the meaning of this?"Skylar suddenly clapped her hands together, a mocking chuckle escaping her lips. It wasn’t the laugh of someone feeling guilty. It was the laugh of someone who had enough."Wow," she said with a bitter smile, "what a spectacular show. Amelia, you really outdid herself with this performance."I blinked, confused, still trying to understand when Amelia stepped forward. Her face looked so sad, her eyes watery like she was about to cry again any second. Her voice came out soft and wounded. "Skylar… why did you do this? Why did you take my jewelry set… and break it like
