Ethan

I tapped my fingers against the table, lost in my thoughts. It had been almost a month now since Skylar had started working at Elegance Company.

A full month.

When I first heard that she had been hired here, I could barely contain my excitement.

I remembered the feeling vividly — that rush of satisfaction knowing that finally, finally, I had her where I wanted.

In my territory.

Under my thumb. Just as I wanted.

She hadn’t even realized it then — how naive she had been to think she could step into my world and not pay the price.

From the moment she arrived, I made it my personal mission to make every single day difficult for her.

It wasn’t long before her colleagues caught on.

They were smart enough to sense where the wind was blowing. They adjusted quickly, treating Skylar with the same cold indifference I showed her.

Some even went out of their way to be cruel, hoping to score favor points.

My plan had been working beautifully.

And the best part?

    AmeliaThe moment I heard footsteps approaching, my entire body instantly tensed on instinct. I heard the rattling of keys for a few seconds before the door finally pushed open.I exhaled slowly when I saw who it was. “Gwen…”She stepped inside carrying a tray, the warm aroma of food drifting into the room at once, making my stomach growl loudly.She closed the door behind her and walked toward the small table against the wall.The moment the tray touched the table, I rushed toward it like a starving animal. There was rice, chicken, and even fruits. Actual fruits. I blinked at the plate, stunned. They usually fed me dry bread, watery soup, or tasteless slop that barely kept me alive.But today… this?My stomach rumbled so loudly I winced.I didn’t care why. I didn’t care how. I was too hungry to think or question anything yet. I picked up the spoon and shoveled a bite of rice into my mouth. The taste hit me; warm, real, actual food, and I almost groaned out of relief.I took a few mor

  • Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire    Fallen Mask

    AmberI took a long, shaky breath the moment I stepped out of my car.I needed to do this.I had to do this.It was the only way I could silence the guilty conscience that had been eating at me for almost a week. Every night, the same knot tightened in my chest, reminding me that I was avoiding something I shouldn’t be running away from.I closed my eyes for a second and whispered to myself, “Get it together, Amber. You really need to do this.”When I opened my eyes, my gaze landed on the tall glass building in front of me—the headquarters of Marcus’ company.Ever since that stupid, impulsive night when Marcus kissed me, everything between us had changed.He pretended nothing happened, maintaining a polite distance. We still attended a few meetings together, still exchanged necessary information, still acted like professionals. He kept his composure perfectly.But for me?I wasn’t comfortable around him anymore.I wasn’t comfortable around myself either.No matter how hard I tried to

  • Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire    Lost Signal

    Cole“Find him! Right now!”My voice thundered through the operations room, making half the team flinch.The analysts from Unit Viper, the division responsible for tracking field operatives, scrambled back to their stations, fingers flying across keyboards as they tried to reestablish a visual feed of Xavier.My chest tightened with each passing second.Goddamn it, Xavier.He had promised. He had promised he would keep the line open, keep the cameras on, keep communication steady.He had promised he wouldn’t go rogue.And yet here we were.“Sir…” one of the technicians stammered, “w-we still can’t locate the signal. All feeds from the cameras and the comm device have been…”“Destroyed?!” I snapped. “Then try harder! Do your goddamn job and find him!”The room fell into a tense, panicked silence as they pushed even faster, screens flashing lines of code.I turned sharply toward Inspector Fred.“Send the unit closest to his location,” I ordered. “Now. Tell them to move in immediately. S

    Xavier“Welcome, Mr. Xavier.”My whole body tensed instinctively as I turned toward the direction of the sound, but being blindfolded, I saw nothing but darkness.For the past hour, maybe more, I had been driven around in circles, transferred between two different cars, and escorted by silent masked guards who didn’t speak a single word to me. My questions went unanswered. My attempts at conversation were all ignored.And now… we were here.Wherever “here” was.I heard footsteps approaching. A hand brushed near my face, and then fingers tugged at the fabric tied around my eyes.Light burst in.Not painfully bright, but enough to make me squint hard as the blindfold was pulled off completely. It took me a few seconds before everything stopped blurring.Two men stood in front of me wearing black suits.“Thank you,” I muttered.“Please follow us,” one of them said.I stole a quick glance behind me at the masked guards who had brought me here. Even now, they still hadn't said a word. They

    AmberI smiled politely as Marcus shook hands with our last client of the day as the man finally stepped out of the private dining room.As soon as the door closed, I instantly dropped the fake smile, slumped back into the chair, and let out a long, weary sigh I had been holding in for hours.Marcus chuckled.“Are you alright?”I didn’t even have the strength to pretend and simply shook my head.It had been meeting after meeting. Negotiations. Calls. Dinners. Strategic alliances. Trying to win support, charm investors, reassure hesitant partners… and still—nothing. Not a whisper, not a rumor, not even the faintest hint about the Eurasian project.“I don’t even know anymore,” I muttered, rubbing a hand across my forehead. “Some days it feels like we’re making progress. Like things are moving. And then the next minute… it’s like we’re right back where we started. I don’t understand what’s going on.”Marcus didn’t respond immediately. He exhaled slowly and said, “You need to exercise a l

    ColeXavier and I stepped out of the car and headed straight to Grandpa's house.“Wait for me in the living room,” I said to Xavier as I took off my coat.He nodded and sat down while I headed straight for Grandpa’s study to speak with him.The moment I pushed the study door open, Grandpa looked up instantly and closed the thick book in his hands. He removed his reading glasses, placed them carefully on the desk, and gave me a small smile.“Cole.”“Grandpa,” I greeted, bowing my head slightly.He studied me for a moment. “And how are Skylar and my great-grandchild doing?”“They are doing quite well.”Grandpa was quiet for a moment, his eyes drifting away as if he was thinking about something heavy. Then he finally asked,“Did you deliver my letter to Ethan?”I nodded. “I told Dan to give it to him. He must have received it by now.”I didn't know what Grandpa wrote in the letter, but I made sure to add my own… message to it.Grandpa exhaled slowly, rubbing a hand over his face.“I just
