The ticking of the wall clock in my office had never sounded this loud before. Every second dragged like a chain scraping the floor. I sat at the edge of my seat, tapping my pen against the desk, eyes flicking to the door every few seconds. They were taking too long. Far too long.

What the hell was going on in that room? Xavier had been there for an hour to interrogate Ivana, and yet there was still no update.

I stood abruptly. I couldn’t sit still any longer. This wasn’t just about Skylar and some stupid design theft—it was about keeping myself far away from the mess Ivana had stirred up. I had played my part from the shadows. That was the deal. That was the plan.

Unable to take it anymore, I left the office and made my way down the corridor toward the presentation room.

Coincidentally, I saw Ivana, sandwiched between two of Xavier’s men, being led out of the presentation room. Her eyes locked with mine for the briefest second.

Fury. Disgust. Betrayal.

  • Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire    Official Meeting

    SkylarThe moment I stepped into my office, I felt like a heavy blanket had been wrapped around me. My legs felt a little weak, and my head ached slightly. I dropped my bag on the desk, letting out a quiet sigh as I slowly sank into the chair behind it. I rubbed my forehead gently, trying to shake off the tiredness I was feeling.I didn’t understand what was happening to me. Was it just the stress? Or was I falling sick? Either way, I couldn’t deny that something was off. I wasn’t just feeling like myself lately. Maybe everything going on in the house had taken a toll on me. The tension, the arguments, the cold silences—they had all worn me down.I closed my eyes for a second and leaned back into the chair, letting my thoughts drift. Why did everything in the house… particularly Cole, now make me so angry? Even the smallest things irritated me. I had tried to stay calm. I had tried to be understanding. But I just couldn’t anymore.There were times I wished I could just disappear for a

  • Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire    Office Confrontation

    ColeI sat in my office, my fingers lightly tapping the edge of the desk, my mind miles away. The morning had been slow, but my thoughts raced restlessly. I couldn’t help but think about home—how everything now seemed divided. It was as if Amelia and I were in a silent battle with Skylar and Ingrid.Nothing felt normal anymore.Skylar’s words still rang in my head. Her anger, her bitterness, the disgust in her voice—it had shaken me more than I cared to admit. And the worst part was, I didn’t know if she really meant those things she said, or if it was just stress. Maybe she was exhausted. Maybe she hadn’t slept well. Maybe work was draining her more than usual.A part of me wanted to drive down to her office, just to see her. Not for any serious talk, but just to check if she was doing okay. If she was eating right. If she wasn’t pushing herself too hard. Or maybe I could just call Tara and ask her for updates without making it obvious.But before I could make up my mind, there was a

  • Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire    Nauseous Morning

    SkylarI came down the stairs, still adjusting the strap of my bag over my shoulder. I had taken extra time getting ready for work this morning—not because I wanted to impress anyone, but because I needed the distraction. Something to keep me from thinking too much.But the second I stepped into the dining room, all thoughts came flooding back.There he was. Cole. Sitting at the table beside her.Amelia.He was gently placing food on her plate. His voice was soft as he urged her to eat, as if she were a weak, wounded child. Amelia sat still, her shoulders hunched and her head slightly lowered, like she was weak or scared… or probably acting to be both. Her hair was tied loosely, and she was still in her pajamas.I stopped in my tracks.The image hit me like a punch to the chest.The memory of last night flashed in my mind—the moment Cole had carried her into the house. His arms around her. Her head against his chest.I had been waiting for him. Sitting on the couch for hours, going ov

  • Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire    Aftermath

    ColeMy heart dropped the second I turned around.There she was.Amelia.She stood frozen, arms slack by her side, eyes wide with horror. A gun lay on the ground in front of her, still hot from the shot she had just fired. Her hands trembled violently.For a moment, everything else disappeared—the trees, Xavier’s shouts, the bruised bodies on the ground. All I saw was her.Pale. Shaking. Broken.She had just killed two men.I rushed toward her, my eyes filled with surprise. Her body swayed like she could collapse any moment.“What happened, Amelia? Why did you kill them?” I asked as soon as I got to her side.“Are they dead? Oh my God,” she sobbed, stumbling into my arms. “I killed them. I just... I killed them!”Her voice cracked. She broke into tears, loud, aching sobs that pierced the silence of the woods. I wrapped my arms around her, holding her tightly as her whole body shook against me.“Hey, hey... shhh... it’s okay,” I whispered, brushing her hair away from her tear-streaked

  • Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire    Transaction Gone Wrong

    ColeThe air was heavy with silence as I stood beside Xavier, both of us waiting with our eyes scanning the shadowy forest ahead. He held the suitcase tightly—a black, solid case filled with $50 million in cash. The amount felt ridiculous for a man's greed, but Amelia's life was worth more than every dollar in that case.We had arrived at the transaction ground not long ago. It was deep in the outskirts, surrounded by trees that stretched far beyond the eye could see. The kidnapper’s instructions had been clear—I was to come alone, no guards. I had argued to follow through. But Xavier refused."You think I'm going to let you walk into a lion's den with no protection? Think again, Cole. You're not going there alone," he had said earlier.We fought about it for a while. Xavier wouldn’t let me go alone, no matter how much I yelled or insisted. In the end, he agreed to one compromise: no guards, just him and me.Now, here we were.The air reeked of damp earth and moss. Somewhere in the di

  • Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire    Viper's Game

    ColeI was pacing back and forth in my office, worried for Amelia's safety as I pressed the phone to my ear again. The line kept ringing. No answer."Come on, come on, someone pick up!" I muttered through gritted teeth.Just minutes ago, I had been on the phone with Amelia. She sounded frightened, saying she was being followed. I told her to stay calm and keep talking. But then—a loud gunshot.Then—silence.Nothing.I had been calling nonstop since then, trying to get through to my special forces team, checking every contact I had, demanding updates. My phone was already overheating, and I was on the verge of losing my mind.*Amelia. Where are you?*As I reached for my phone again, the door swung open and Xavier quickly walked in. I turned around."Tell me you've got something," I said in a sharp, expectant voice.Xavier gave a short nod, pulling out a tablet. "We were able to get into the city surveillance system. We tracked the road Amelia was last seen on. We managed to get footage
