Amelia

I 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

    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

    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

    SkylarI was having a quiet sleep, lying close to Cole, feeling his warmth beside me. I didn't really feel good last night after leaving Amelia's room. Cole had asked what the problem was when I got back to the room, but I came up with an excuse and told him I was tired and just wanted to sleep. But my peaceful sleep was cut short when I heard a knock on the door. I frowned in my sleep, trying to ignore it, but the knock came again, louder this time.I slowly opened my eyes, feeling a little annoyed. Who was knocking this early? I blinked and turned my head, trying to clear my sleepy mind. Beside me, Cole also stirred awake, his voice groggy and low as he mumbled, "Who's there?"The knock came again, and Cole sighed before sitting up. I watched him get off the bed and walk towards the door. My eyelids felt heavy, and I was about to fall back to sleep until I heard it—the sound of Amelia crying.My eyes shot open, and I instantly sat up on the bed. Amelia? Crying? What was she doing

    AmeliaI smiled smugly the moment Skylar’s face changed. Oh, this was exactly what I wanted. I had been waiting for this reaction from her, and now that it finally happened, it felt so good. I could almost taste her shock and confusion in the air. But I quickly hid my satisfaction. I had to play my part well."Oh," I gasped suddenly, pretending to act surprised. I moved closer to Skylar and gently touched her necklace, letting my fingers brush over the shiny teardrop gem. “Skylar… this necklace… it looks a lot like my jewelry set.”I took a small step back, making sure my face showed fake curiosity. I opened my eyes wide and tilted my head slightly, adding, “I just realized my set doesn’t have a necklace. Could it be…”Skylar didn’t even let me finish. Her eyes turned cold, and in a split second, she smacked my hand away. I didn’t even feel offended. I watched as she stormed out of my room, not even bothering to say a word. She left so quickly, like her whole world had just crashed. I
