Skylar

It had been a long but good morning. I sat back on my chair and let out a soft sigh. My fingers hurt a little from typing, but I was satisfied. Tara had given me this task to finish before the weekend, and I was done before time. It made me feel proud of myself. Slowly, I leaned back and stretched my arms, feeling the little crack in my neck. It felt good.

I was about to close my laptop when there was a knock on my door. I looked up and saw Athena standing there.

“Hi, Skylar,” she said, stepping into my office a little nervously. “Uhm… me and two others were heading out for lunch. Do you… want to come with us?”

I blinked at her for a second. I wasn’t stupid. I could tell from the way she stood there, from the soft smile she forced on her lips, that this wasn’t friendship. It was nothing but pity.

The gossip was still going around the company. Some of my colleagues smiled to my face but whispered behind my back. I didn’t blame Athena much, but I wasn’t interested in fake smiles.

  • Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire    Necklace Betrayal

    Skylar I stood in front of the mirror, gently brushing my hair while humming a little tune. Today, I was in a good mood. Cole had told me to get ready because we were going to visit my mom. It was so unexpected, but it made me really happy. I wondered why he suddenly wanted us to go see her.I smiled to myself, remembering how Cole had said he even called my mom and she was happy to have us over. It had been a while since I saw her and I had really missed her.After I finished dressing up, I glanced one last time at the teardrop necklace around my neck. My fingers brushed softly against it, admiring its beauty. Cole had gifted it to me a few days ago, and asked me to wear it today. It quickly became my favorite piece of jewelry. It made me feel special, loved.I walked downstairs, ready to head out. As I moved to open the front door, I saw Cole standing beside the car, talking on his phone. I smiled, but before I could step outside, my eyes fell on Amelia.Ever since our confrontatio

  • Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire    The Necklace Surprise

    Cole It was already dark when I stepped into the house, but I couldn’t stop the big smile on my face. I was late today because I went to pick up the teardrop necklace. The designer had finally finished it. When I first laid eyes on the necklace, I was completely amazed. The black gem in the middle wasn’t just beautiful—it was unique. It had this deep, rich glow, almost like the midnight sky when the moon hides behind the clouds. The way the light bounced off it made it look like little stars were trapped inside. Everything about it screamed rare and special.I even took the extra jewelry set the designer had made from the necklace scraps. They looked nice and shiny, and though I didn’t know who to give them to yet. All I knew right now was that I couldn’t wait to see Skylar’s beautiful, happy smile. But I didn’t expect the first thing I would hear when I got home to be yelling.“If you ever try something like this again, you’ll be packing your things and leaving the next second!” S

    ColeI sat at the head of the long glass table, looking at the two people seated across from me—Mr. and Mrs. Langston. Their last name was well known in the real estate world, and now they were planning to make a huge investment in my company.Mr. Langston leaned forward with a warm smile. “Cole, your numbers speak for themselves. Growth. Vision. Stability. That’s what we see in this company.”Beside him, his wife, Eleanor, nodded gently. “And passion,” she added. “You have passion, and we believe in that.”I gave a polite smile and nodded. “Thank you. That means a lot coming from the both of you. We work hard, and we still have a long way to go.”“We know,” Mr. Langston said. “And we want to be part of that journey.”We talked a bit more—details about shares, plans, and timelines. I kept my answers clear and steady, but inside, I was honestly impressed by how sharp and focused the Langstons were. Even though they were older—probably in their seventies—they were sharp-minded and still

    SkylarI arrived at the restaurant just a few minutes past noon. The place was bright, not too crowded, and had soft music playing in the background. I looked around and spotted Amber almost immediately. She was sitting by the window, waving at me with a small smile on her face.I smiled lightly and walked over to her table.“Hey you,” Amber said as she stood to give me a short hug. “You definitely took your time.”“I know,” I said, sitting down. “I’m sorry.”A waiter came over and handed me a menu. I glanced through it quickly and ordered a glass of water while Amber asked for wine.As soon as the waiter left, Amber leaned forward, folding her arms on the table. She looked at me with that sharp look she always gave when she wanted answers.“And why didn’t you want to see me after everything? After the whole Amelia drama? I called, I texted. You ignored everything.”I lowered my gaze for a moment and let out a sigh. “Amber, it wasn’t personal. I just… I needed time. Alone. I had to cl

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

    Skylar I woke up feeling lighter than I had in days. There was no weight on my chest, no storm in my heart. Just quiet. A calm sort of quiet I hadn’t felt in a while.Yesterday, Cole and I finally sat down and talked—really talked. About Amelia. About the whole mess. About the conflict that had been growing between us and the arrangement he had made in the house without discussing it with me first.He opened up and told me everything. How the doctor had advised him to send Amelia to a psychiatric facility. How he couldn’t bring himself to do it. Not because he wanted her around, but because something in him still felt responsible for her.And I saw it clearly for the first time—he cared about Amelia, yes. But not in the way people whispered about. Not in the way I feared. His care wasn’t romantic or even emotional in that sense. It was the kind of care you have for someone who once mattered but now simply needs help. It was more like the burden of someone who didn’t know how to walk
