Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire Fire On The Mountain
ColeI sat at the balcony of my hotel room, my laptop balanced on my legs, sipping a cup of coffee as I stared at the familiar face on the screen.Collins grinned at me through the video call, his cheeks glowing with joy and enthusiasm.“Cole, my man! This business you introduced me to is absolutely brilliant. I can’t thank you enough,” he said, practically bouncing in his chair.I gave him a half-smile. “I’m glad to hear that. How’s it going so far?”“Better than I ever imagined!” he chuckled. “My business partner, Madam Agatha? She’s a rare gem. One of the smartest and most capable women I’ve ever worked with. Sharp, firm, knows her numbers… she doesn’t let anything slip through the cracks.”“She’s the reason this project is taking off successfully. Do you have any idea the number of orders we already have at the moment?!” Collins went on excitedly. “It's just like magic!” I smiled, glad with the report I was receiving. “I've been in the business world long enough to know a potent

Skylar I should have known something was wrong the moment I stepped into the building.The air felt heavy. Not just the usual bustling morning activity, but something more. Something tense. Cold. Unwelcoming. It was in the way the front desk receptionist barely looked up when I greeted her, in the stiff silence of the elevator ride, and most of all, in the way my colleagues turned to look at me the moment I walked into the main floor.Their eyes didn’t just watch. They glared. Whispers rose like smoke. Some people nudged each other. Others looked away, pretending not to see me. One of my colleagues, whose name I couldn’t even remember at the moment, gave a dramatic scoff and rolled her eyes so hard I thought they’d fall out.Did someone die?What was with all the negative energy this morning?I tried to brush it off. Maybe it was nothing. Maybe I had toothpaste on my shirt or something. I just kept walking.The door to my office had never looked so far away.I had barely dropped my

The door hadn't even fully closed behind me when Celeste stormed up, her eyes blazing with fury and her phone shoved right into my face. Her voice, sharp and accusing, sliced through the air."What the hell is the meaning of this, Ethan? Huh?! You’re having an affair with one of your staff now? Seriously?!"I sighed, long and slow, dragging a hand down my face. Of course, she had seen it. Everyone had. The damn picture had exploded across every major gossip blog and news outlet overnight. And the moment I stepped into this house, I knew I was walking into a war zone."Celeste, please just calm down for a second—""Don't you dare touch me!" she snapped, jerking away as I reached out to hold her hand. "Don't you even dare, Ethan. This… this is Skylar, right? The same girl you mistakenly called me that night? The one you said meant nothing?!"Her voice cracked with hurt, and the pain in her eyes stung more than I expected."I just knew it," she continued, pacing the floor in our living r

SkylarI sat in my office, staring blankly at my computer. The office was quiet, but inside my head… it was chaos.I couldn’t stop thinking about the things I’d read online earlier. They weren’t just casual comments or offhand opinions. No, these were targeted, cruel attacks meant to break me.I had been called names I never thought I would ever be called in my life. Some said I was a lowlife homewrecker, a shameless seductress who preyed on ‘responsible’ men.Others suggested Celeste should confront me, drag me by the hair, and pull out every strand for trying to “steal her man.”One even said, “The shameless slut should be paraded through Times Square wearing a sign that says that.”Ninety percent of the comments labeled me a gold digger without hesitation. That part hurt the most. It was as if they had reduced every effort I’d made in life—my hard work and dedication, every success—down to one label.A gold digger.Speculations continued to spread like wildfire. One blogger said I

Skylar I was at my desk when Ivana poked her head in, pulling on her blazer. “You sure you’ll be fine on your own?”I looked up at her, trying to mask how tired I was. “Yeah, I’ll be fine. I don’t want to risk running into any reporters outside yet. Some of them are really quite good at hiding, interested in ruining other people's lives.”My mind drifted back to when my father's company got bankrupt. It was hell dealing with those nosy reporters that didn't care to actually find out the truth; only interested in getting something to gossip about you.Ivana crossed her arms and leaned against the doorframe, clearly not convinced. “Are you sure? It’s past six already, and you barely left your office today. Should I order take outs for you? You barely ate anything throughout today, giving me the excuse that you aren't hungry.”“Don't worry, Ivana , I'll be fine. Besides, I didn’t get anything done this morning. I was too wired up,” I said, shrugging. “I need to focus. I just… need to wo

ColeI was just about to head toward the car when I heard the elevator chime behind me.At first, I thought it was Xavier, probably done delivering the meal.I didn’t even turn at first and continued heading to the car to finally shut my eyes for a minute due to the jet lag.But then I heard my name.“Cole!”That voice.I froze. I knew that voice.My feet halted mid-step, and my heart lurched at the sound of her voice. My head whipped around before I could even think—and I saw her. Skylar—just stepping out of the elevator.My brows furrowed in confusion. How did she know I was down here? I had told Xavier specifically not to say anything.But there she was. Her eyes locked with mine, wide and filled with something I couldn’t name—relief, emotion… maybe even longing. For a second, she just stood there. Then, like something had snapped within her, she ran toward me.Before I could fully register it, Skylar threw herself into my arms.It happened so fast I instinctively took a step back

SkylarWe entered the elevator in silence. Cole stood just behind me, close enough that I could smell his cologne. I was happy that he was here with me, but after everything that had happened today, it dawned on me that I wasn’t even sure how I was going to explain the whole incident to him when we were finally alone. Once we stepped into my office, I moved quickly to take out the meal from the bag, trying to keep my hands busy.Cole sat silently, watching me with that same unreadable expression that always made me feel like he could see straight through me.I set everything in place carefully, portioning the food, handing him a plate and cutlery. “Here,” I said softly.“Thanks,” he replied, his voice low, calm, almost warm.We began eating in silence. The soft sound of utensils and the occasional sip filled the room. But my mind was somewhere else.Every now and then, I found myself stealing glances at him. His face looked calm, unreadable. That same calmness made it harder for me

EthanI parked my car in the company parking lot, about to head in to pick up some files I needed from the office.It was late, close to midnight. I had spent the whole day, every exhausting minute of it, with Celeste, trying to appease her and play the loving, loyal fiancée so that her trust in me wouldn't waver so easily.I was quite surprised that the scandal had burned so fast that before I could even act on it, it disappeared like it had never happened.It didn’t make sense to me that it could just disappear from the internet, so I dug deeper. I wanted to know how that could happen. That was when I discovered something even more surprising—the IT team from Buckman Corporation was the one that cleaned up everything. That could only mean one thing.Cole Buckman was involved.I let out a short laugh and smirked to myself. I could only imagine the expression on Cole’s face while he read the articles and blogs that had posted pictures of me and Skylar. He probably deleted everything

Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire Redemption
SkylarFrom the moment I stepped into the office building, I could instantly tell that something had shifted slightly. The hallway wasn’t filled with murmurs or eyes silently accusing me of things I hadn’t done. It was quiet.I blinked, wondering if I was dreaming or if maybe everyone had decided to take the day off.Had Cole done something? Was this what he meant by a "gift"?I didn’t have long to ponder before Athena, yes, Tara’s sharp-tongued assistant, walked into my office. She knocked lightly before pushing the door open, her expression surprisingly neutral. Not smug. Not irritated.“Miss Tara would like to see you in the boardroom, Skylar,” Athena said.Her voice wasn’t curt or laced with any sort of hidden contempt. There was even a calmness to it… maybe even admiration?I blinked again. “I’ll be there shortly,” I responded softly, grabbing a notepad even though I wasn’t sure I’d need it.Athena gave a small nod before stepping out.I smoothed down my skirt, took a calming br
Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire The Push I Needed
Skylar I was buried beneath my pillow, trying to drown out the morning light and the buzz of reality that I wasn’t ready to face. My phone had rung three times now, vibrating furiously on the nightstand, but I had no intention of picking it up. I just wanted to stay in bed. Forever, if possible.Work? That was a word I didn’t want to hear.The events of the past few days had worn me out. The promotion—if I could even call it that—felt like a punishment. My colleagues looked at me differently now. No one smiled at me in the hallways. Whispers always followed me wherever I went. Even the work atmosphere felt choking and suffocating, to the point that I couldn't really concentrate anymore.How could I work in such a toxic environment?This morning, I decided enough was enough. I wasn't going back to that office anymore.I pulled the blanket tighter around me, ready to resume sleeping when the door suddenly creaked open."Skylar?" Ingrid's voice came in soft, almost coaxing. "Aren't you

Cole"Fire him," I said flatly.Xavier, who had just stepped into my office, blinked. "Sir?""The guard you assigned to watch Skylar," I repeated, my voice colder now. "If he can’t do his damn job, then why is he employed?"Xavier didn’t even attempt to defend the man. He nodded immediately, his expression tight with regret. "Understood. I’m sorry for the way things have been going. Don’t worry, I'll personally handle it."I leaned back in my chair, fingers drumming on the surface of my desk. I didn’t care for excuses today. Not when everything was already spiraling out of control."And the reporter or blogger, whoever he is?" I asked, looking up at him. "The one who posted the videos and pictures?"Xavier hesitated. "We’re still tracking them down. They’ve covered their tracks well, but we’re working on it."I slammed my palm on the desk, the sharp sound bouncing off the office walls. "A single person, Xavier. One man. I don’t care what he’s done—he is not a ghost. Utilize everything
Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire Question Of The Heart
SkylarI stared blankly at the screen in front of me, my fingers resting on the keyboard but not moving at all. My body was there—sitting at my desk, dressed in work clothes, staring at data I couldn't process—but my mind was far, far away.Since the promotion announcement in the conference room, I felt like a ghost. Whispers followed me like shadows. Stares burned my back. Conversations fell silent the moment I walked into a room. And above it all, Ethan’s smug face lingered in my memory like a scar I couldn’t stop touching.I should have stayed strong. I should have ignored it all and focused on work. But it was so hard to focus when every time I blinked, I saw his eyes—that look of smug victory in the conference room. It made my stomach twist with dread—and a deep, pulsing anger.Ivana never came to check on me… as expected. Rather, she kept her distance, and I never saw her around.My phone suddenly rang.I blinked and looked down. Mom.My heart sank. Slowly, I picked it up and an

EthanI leaned back in my chair, watching the corners of my lips curl in amusement. The image of Skylar’s face back in the conference room was still fresh in my mind—tense, shocked, trying to piece together what had just happened. The memory brought a certain satisfaction, a sense of justice delivered in silence. She had thought herself clever, flaunting Cole in front of me that night, pretending I no longer existed. Well, let her enjoy the heat now.Mason stood across the desk, going through some documents, talking numbers and projections. I nodded now and then, pretending to listen, though my mind was elsewhere—until my phone rang. It was Celeste.“Why did you promote Skylar?” she asked immediately I picked the call, her voice sharp and direct.My grip on the phone tightened slightly. I exchanged a brief glance with Mason, who quietly excused himself, sensing the shift in my mood. I leaned forward and lowered my voice.“Celeste,” I said calmly, “where did you hear that?”“That wasn'

SkylarI stood there, stunned.My heart was pounding so fast, I could barely hear the sounds around me. Ethan's words kept ringing in my ears. "Skylar McLair is now officially promoted to the position of Senior Creative Manager."What did he just say?For a moment, I honestly thought I misheard him. When he started with the dismissal—announcing I would no longer be the junior creative manager—I wasn’t shocked. I even expected it. This was Ethan after all. Petty revenge was his favorite game. I braced myself for some cruel demotion, a transfer, or a public humiliation.But a promotion?Senior Creative Manager?And the lead for the entire biannual product line presentation?That was... insane. And he was just standing there, looking so smug, grinning like a fool who thought he’d just handed me the world on a silver platter.I wanted to shake him right there. To ask him what the hell he was thinking of giving me a promotion just when we were still recovering from a misunderstood scandal?
