Ivana

Was Skylar really to blame?

The question rang through my head like an annoying alarm I couldn’t turn off. It wasn’t just Ethan’s words lingering inside me—it was the way he had looked at me, like I was nothing. Like I was stupid not to see it all along.

“If there’s anyone you should hate, Ivana… it’s Skylar.”

I had left Elegance Company without looking back. Not because I didn’t want to scream and cause a scene—believe me, I still wanted to curse out Ethan loudly and make everyone see the bastard he was—but because my body betrayed me.

My legs felt weak, and the hot embarrassment I felt when the guards stared at me smugly. My eyes were red, but I refused to let the tears fall. I wouldn’t give Ethan the satisfaction.

As I stepped out of the tall, guarded gates, the sun hit my face again. It was scorching. My blouse clung to my back with sweat, and the heat was making my already pounding headache worse. I felt like I was dragging myself through a desert with no end in sight. I cro

  • Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire    Black Nine

    Skylar “Stay back!” I screamed, my voice shaking with both anger and fear. “If you come any closer, I’ll kill myself!”My hands trembled as I held the shard of glass to my throat. I could feel its sharp and cold edge pressing against my skin. I didn’t know if I truly had the courage to go through with it, but at least he’d keep his distance. At least I had some control.For a moment, Xavier didn’t move. He just stood there, watching me. His eyes looked heavy, like he was fighting an invisible battle inside himself.He slowly pulled out his phone, typed something quickly, and slipped it into his pocket. Then he leaned closer to the door and pressed his ear against it, listening. I held my breath, watching him cautiously.When he turned back to me, his expression softened. “Put that down, Skylar,” he said quietly. “You’ll hurt yourself.”“Don’t come closer!” I snapped, pressing the glass tighter. I felt the sting against my skin and almost winced, but I didn’t lower it.He raised both

    Xavier“Are you planning to let her go after the operation?”The guard’s sharp and suspicious voice sliced through the room. His words pulled me back to reality, forcing me to quickly regain my composure.For a second, I almost let my expression slip… almost. I quickly masked whatever emotion flickered across my face and turned to the guard with a cool, detached look.“What are you implying?” I asked, my tone calm but cold enough to make him take a small step back.The guard’s eyes narrowed slightly. “I’m just saying… you look surprised about the order.”I forced a quiet chuckle and folded my arms, pretending to be amused. “I just didn’t expect my father to give the command to get rid of her so soon,” I replied casually. “I had my own… plans for her in the guest room. I already made arrangements before we end this for good.”The guard raised an eyebrow in doubt, while Skylar, still tied to the chair, scrunched up her face in disgust as she glared at me.“You’re vile,” she spat, her vo

  • Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire    A Son’s Burden

    XavierI stood there, watching as my father’s men led Skylar away. I tried not to show any emotion, not to let the flicker of guilt that burned inside me show on my face. But it wasn’t easy.As they pushed her toward the building, I clenched my jaw tightly. My hands balled into fists at my sides. Skylar looked so small, so helpless, yet her eyes still held that fierce light I had always known her for. She wasn’t afraid of me, rather she was disappointed. And that cut deeper than anything, but I had no choice.When she was out of sight, I called out to one of the guards, “Handle her carefully. I don't want to see any cuts or bruises on her. Am I clear?”The guard turned to me with a skeptical look. His lip curled slightly, as though he wanted to ask why I even cared. But after a few seconds, he gave a reluctant nod and left with the rest.I exhaled slowly, trying to calm the storm inside me. Then, suddenly, my second phone began to ring. The name flashing on the screen made my stomach

  • Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire    The Drive of Deception

    SkylarI sat in the back seat of the car with my wrists cuffed, and my hands resting on my lap.The cold metal bit gently into my skin every time the car hit a bump. Xavier sat beside me; silent, composed, and completely unrecognizable from the man I used to trust.If anyone had told me a few hours ago that he was behind all this, I would’ve called that person mad. But here I was, sitting beside him, being driven to God-knows-where.It all made sense now… the reason Troy and his men had so easily allowed me to leave the house earlier. No protests, no insistence to follow — something completely unlike them. I had found it strange at the time but brushed it aside, too focused on the warning about my mother. I thought they trusted me to handle myself.Now I understood.Xavier must have told them to stand down. After all, he was the head of Cole’s entire security network. His orders carried authority.I glanced at my small black handbag beside me and let out a quiet sigh. I turned my head

    ColeI flipped to the last page of the folder, my eyes narrowing as the words sank in.“This…” I muttered under my breath before finally looking up at Amber. “Where exactly did you get this folder again?”She stood across the desk, her posture stiff and expression serious.Even Marcus, who was standing beside me, looked equally taken aback. He leaned forward, eyes scanning the documents carefully.“These are solid,” he said quietly, almost in disbelief. “Even my top investigator couldn’t dig this deep. Whoever compiled this… they knew what they were doing.”Amber sighed softly, her voice firm. “That’s because it came from a father who risked everything to gather this evidence. I told you the late family lawyer gave it to Skylar before he was killed. Apparently, Mr. McLair was already compiling proof before his death. It’s clear Minister Adams Buckman was behind it all.”I looked down at the open folder again. Every page was another glimpse of the kind of corruption and cruelty Uncle A

    Skylar“Head back home without me,” I told the driver the moment the car stopped in front of the hospital gate.He blinked, looking puzzled. “Ma’am, are you sure? Troy isn't here and you might need me to…”“No,” I interrupted softly. “Just head home.”He hesitated for a few seconds before nodding. “Yes, ma’am.”I gave him a faint smile, though my heart was far from calm. As soon as the car pulled away, I let out a slow breath and looked down at my phone. It was switched off. I had to do it. I had no choice.For a moment, I stood there in silence, gripping my phone tightly. Then I glanced at my wristwatch. Amber must have reached Cole by now. She would have given him the folder, just as I planned.That thought brought a small wave of relief. I trusted Cole enough to handle the folder and make sure that Minister Adams’ lies and deceit were exposed to the public and that he paid for everything he did to my father. As for me, I needed to handle something else.Taking a deep breath, I walk
