Cole

I hadn't expected my remark to provoke such a strong reaction from Skylar.

She misunderstood me, but I didn't bother to explain. I never ate breakfast at home—it simply wasn't a habit of mine. But I let her believe whatever she wanted.

At least she had the energy to be upset, to argue, to vent her frustration. It meant she was recovering from yesterday’s events, regaining the fire I saw in her when she yelled at me. That was a good sign.

I watched her glare at me, her lips pressed together in defiance, and for some reason, I found it amusing. I felt an unexpected tug at the corner of my mouth—a smile forming before I even realized it. How odd.

But as my car approached the company building, the amusement faded, replaced by the cold, detached expression I usually wore. There was no room for warmth in the world I had to navigate. I had work to do.

Xavier stood by the company door, already waiting for me. Immediately I got to him, I asked in a serious tone. “Are you ready?”

  • Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire    Crossroads

    Cole“You want to leave me, my love?”The words slipped from my lips before I could think.I had rushed back home the moment Amelia’s case was settled. After everything, after finally exposing her schemes, after watching the police take her away, my heart had been burning with only one desire; to return to Skylar. I wanted to hold her, to explain, to finally tell her the truth she had long deserved to hear.But I had not expected this.When she saw me standing at the doorway, she turned her head away. She wouldn’t look at me.I stepped inside slowly and walked toward the bed, but before I could reach her, Mother stood up and blocked my way.Her eyes were calm but firm. “Cole,” she said in a low voice, “maybe it’s best you leave her for now.”Leave?“Please,” I said quickly, shaking my head. “Please, Mother, I need to explain. I need her to hear the truth. Let me just speak with her… she’ll understand the reasons for my actions.”Mother hesitated for a brief moment before she turned ba

  • Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire    Wanting To Go

    Skylar I stepped out of the car the moment Xavier stopped. My legs moved before he could even open his mouth. “Skylar…” he tried to call after me, but I didn’t stop. I didn’t want to listen. Not anymore. I was done… done with the excuses, the lies, the endless explanations that only twisted me further inside. I stormed away, refusing to even look back at him. I pushed open the door of the house and stepped inside. The first person I saw was Ingrid. She sat in one of the living room chairs, her hands tightly clasped, her lips moving silently as if she was praying. “Ingrid…” I called softly. Her head shot up as if my voice had startled her. Her eyes widened, and she gasped. “Thank you, Abba Father!” she cried out, springing from the chair. In the next second, she was rushing toward me. She wrapped her arms around me with such force that I staggered. “Thank you, Mother Mary! Thank you!” she sobbed. She clung to me so tightly, her body shaking, her voice breaking with relief. I co

  • Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire    Deciding Her Fate

    AmeliaI could hardly say a word as I stared at Cole. My lips parted, but nothing came out.Why? How? When the hell did Cole figure everything out?He had been with me earlier today, he had even attended my birthday party. He smiled at me, spoke gently, acted as if nothing was wrong. Not a single crack had shown in his calm face. Not a single sign that he knew all the things I had done. Yet here he stood before me, his eyes burning, his voice sharp… I couldn’t understand it.What exactly was going on?My gaze darted to the cleaner and Dr. Nathaniel, both kneeling on the ground, trembling like leaves. Their eyes were wide, and their hands shook as they pointed fingers at me.I knew right then; whatever happened here at the warehouse, whatever was said in this very moment, would decide my fate.I had thought everything was settled when Officer Rodriguez and his team took Lorenzo’s body away, dragging out the injured men with them. I had thought it was over. That I had once again managed

  • Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire    Forced To Choose

    Cole“Why, Cole?!” Skylar demanded. She turned to me, her face wet with tears and anger. “Why do you always choose to be deceived by her over and over again? What is your problem? Has she bewitched you or something?!”She pushed angrily at my chest, her small hands trembling yet strong enough to make me stumble a step backward.“I thought you came here to save me!” she yelled, her voice cracking. “So why are you still concerned about her?!”I tried to hold her in my arms, but she wasn't having it. She shoved me again, harder this time, and screamed, “Choose, Cole! Choose right here, right now! Me or Amelia! Who do you want?!”Her tears ran down in rivers, and I hated myself for being the reason she was hurting this way. I stared at her, her face flushed red, her eyes burning through me. Every part of me wanted to pull her close, wipe away those tears, and tell her the truth. My hand rose toward her cheek, wanting to comfort her,

  • Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire    Pulling Strings

    AmeliaIn a sudden, swift move, I shoved the hidden gun with me into Lorenzo’s hand. My fingers trembled as I lifted both hands in the air, making it look like I was surrendering.“Cole!” I screamed in fear. “Help me! Please… he won’t let me go! Lorenzo won’t ever let me be free!”Lorenzo’s face turned pale, his eyes wide, stunned like a deer caught in a car’s headlights. He looked at me with pure confusion, shaking his head slightly.“Amelia… what are you doing?”I lowered my voice so only he could hear and muttered, “I won’t let you drag me down with you.”Then I pulled back and raised my voice again, throwing myself against him like a woman desperate to protect others. “I won’t let you hurt Skylar!” I shouted, thrashing, clawing at him. “I won’t let you hurt anyone else!”“Stop!” Lorenzo yelled, his voice raw and confused, but I didn’t stop. I pressed forward harder, ramming my body against his, scratching a

  • Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire    Special Forces

    AmeliaThe sound of the gunshot rang in my ears. For a moment, I thought it had hit Skylar, but then I saw Lorenzo’s gun fly out of his hand, clattering across the floor.Skylar screamed in horror, probably thinking she had been shot as she trembled where she sat.My heart jumped to my throat. Who fired that bullet?Lorenzo’s men reacted instantly as guns were pulled out. They aimed in every direction, waiting for a shadow, a move, something. Lorenzo, slightly startled, bent down, reaching for his fallen gun. Just as his fingers brushed the handle, a deep and commanding voice rang out.“Police! Don’t move!”I froze. Police?My chest tightened as my eyes darted to the door. How was that possible? This place was one of Lorenzo’s secret warehouses. Hidden, locked, a place only a few trusted men even knew about. How could the police have found us so quickly?About a dozen policemen streamed in, guns raised
