"How long do you plan to stay in my arms?" I asked in a cold tone.

Skylar briefly met my eyes before quickly pulling away as she regained her composure.

I'd just left the building where I went to see a business client when I saw Skylar heading toward the busy street. In an instant, a car came speeding down the road. I didn’t even think twice.

I ran after her and reached her just in time. I grabbed her arm and pulled her away from the danger. The truck roared past us, and for a moment, my heart pounded with relief as well as anger. I couldn’t believe that Skylar would run into traffic like that. It felt as if she didn’t care about her own safety at all.

Without wasting time, I carried Skylar into my car. As I pulled her inside, my eyes burned with both worry and anger.

Did she even know how close she was to being hit by that truck?! The thought made my heart pound as my hand tightened on the steering wheel. She had no idea—no idea how one small mistake could have cost he

  • Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire    No More Hiding

    ColeThe anger on my face was obvious. I didn’t care who saw it. I stormed past everyone blocking my path and headed straight to her—Skylar. She was on the floor, her legs folded to one side.One hand was pressed against the ground for support, while the other was wiping the blood from her lips. Her face was pale, but her eyes were sharp—burning with defiance as she glared hard at Ethan and Celeste. Even in pain, she refused to look weak.Xavier was right behind me, his eyes scanning the room like a hawk. Always alert. Always watching.When I got to Skylar, I bent down and picked her up gently. That’s when I saw them—red finger marks on her face.Who the hell had the guts to lay hands on her?Skylar looked up at me, her eyes widened in disbelief. She asked in a low, unsure voice, “Cole? How… how are you here?”I didn’t answer her question directly. Instead, I leaned in and murmured, my voice low but firm, “Don’t worry, the only thing that matters is that I’m here now… I’ll handle ever

    ColeThe necklace looked quite simple, yet stunning. Small, clear diamonds sat gently along a thin silver chain. It was the kind of piece that didn’t scream for attention but held your gaze all the same. I stared at it carefully, imagining how it would look on Skylar. I could already see it resting just above her collarbone, catching the light when she smiled.She’d love it.I had flown back into New York late last night. Business had gone smoothly—better than expected, actually. But instead of going home, I stayed the night in one of my penthouses on the Upper West Side, so that I could get her a gift first before seeing her.Skylar had joked with me during one of our calls. “Get something for me whenever you're coming back,” she had said. I laughed it off then, but it stuck with me. She never asked for much, infact, she never did at all. So this time, I wanted to surprise her with something nice.As I headed out this morning, I found myself inside one of the best jewelry stores in

  • Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire    The Second Blow

    SkylarCeleste had just slapped me!For a long second, all I could hear was the ringing in my ear. My face burned with the sting of her palm, and the room had gone deathly quiet, as though the entire company floor had frozen in place. My cheek throbbed, but that was nothing compared to the fire rising in my chest.I stood frozen in shock, my hand clutching the side of my face. The shame, the humiliation, the audacity—That was when I noticed Ethan. He stepped forward quickly, inserting himself between me and Celeste like he was protecting her from me. His hand came up gently as he turned to her, speaking in a soft tone."Celeste, calm down, okay? Just breathe. Let's not cause a scene."Was he serious?I stared at him in disbelief. That was his first reaction? Not concern. Not apology. Not even an ounce of guilt—just worry that his precious fiancée might be embarrassing herself.Celeste wasn’t the least bit interested in calming down. Her cold eyes zeroed in on me, her voice sharp and

    Skylar "Let me help you understand." Her voice rang out, louder and clearer. "I came here today because I wanted to see you for myself. The woman who’s been trying to steal my fiancé behind my back."For a moment, I stood frozen.What?My heart stopped for half a second. Did I just hear that right?Celeste... actually came here—to my workplace—to confront me about stealing Ethan?Was this really happening?My mouth opened before my brain could fully process the shock. "There must be some kind of mistake," I said quickly, trying to remain calm, although my voice came out a little sharper than I intended. "I don’t know what you think you’ve heard, but Ethan and I—there’s nothing going on between us. Absolutely nothing."Celeste let out a low chuckle and crossed her arms over her chest like she’d been expecting that answer all along. "You really think I’m that much of a fool? You think I would show up here without doing my research first? Did you really believe I wouldn’t know what’s

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

    SkylarIt had been a relatively quiet afternoon in the design department.I was in my office, eyes glued to the screen, fingers busy sketching new patterns on my tablet. The lines transformed into shapes, curves, and color combinations that had been playing in my head for days. Working on new designs was my escape, especially with Tara still breathing down my neck as my supervisor.Tara was firm but fair, and even though her gaze often felt like a silent critique, I had come to accept that she pushed me only because she believed in my potential. I was already mapping out a new collection line that could rival my last for the Biannual Collection Event. Ideas poured in faster than I could sketch, and my fingers barely paused.The silence and peace at home since Cole traveled had started to gnaw at me. It was just me and Ingrid now. Too quiet, too many spaces in between the hours. But working overtime, pouring my mind into my designs, it helped me stay afloat.Still, there was something

  • Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire    A Thorn In The Silk

    CelesteIt was one of those sunday mornings where everything just felt... perfect.I sat with my dearest friends – Allegra, the heiress of the Rosenthal fashion line, and Noelle, the daughter of a real estate mogul. Between us were half-eaten fruit tarts, delicate macarons, and chilled mimosas.We were discussing the usual—fashion gossip, celebrity scandals, and the latest designer collaborations. Allegra was in the middle of narrating how her boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend had tried to show up uninvited to his last movie premiere.“She had the audacity to wear a gown from last season. Can you imagine?” Allegra scoffed, her manicured fingers swirling her champagne glass.I chuckled lightly, resting my elbow on the table, watching the city stretch below us. It was a good day.Then it happened.“Ms. Celeste!”A voice rang out, sounding too loud, too desperate for such a poised setting.We turned. I frowned.A lady was rushing toward us. She looked… average, and there was this kind of despera
