Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire Between Two Identities
ColeI stood there, frozen, staring at the hurt in Skylar’s eyes. That look… it hit me harder than any punch could.She didn’t have to say a word. For the first time in a long while, I didn’t know what to say or where to even begin.Jason and I had been right — someone had overheard us talking earlier. And out of all the people it could have been, it had to be him.Ethan. That shameless, troublemaking, annoying scumbag.“Skylar… I can explain,” I began.But she didn’t even give me a chance. She gave me that same piercing look she had thrown at Jason a moment ago, her eyes already filled with tears.She shook her head fiercely, as if shaking away every single word she'd heard, and clamped her hands over her ears.“I don’t want to hear it!” she burst out, her voice breaking. And then she turned, running out of the hall.“Skylar!” I called after her, already moving.Jason moved to follow too, but I stopped him. “I’ll handle Skylar. You stay here and… deal with the mess inside.”Jason hes

SkylarI yanked my hand out of Ethan’s grip so fast it was as if touching him had scorched me.“What is the meaning of this?” I asked sharply.He didn’t even flinch. That smug smirk—one I’d seen more times than I cared to remember—curled at the corners of his mouth. It was the kind of expression that made my skin crawl because it always came right before he said something to wreck the mood.Before he could speak, Celeste recovered from her shock and stepped forward, folding her arms tightly across her chest.“You must have had too much to drink, Ethan,” she said sharply. “Because that’s the only reason you would be saying such rubbish in front of everyone. How could this lowlife be my sister?”I was ready to roll my eyes, maybe even snap back at her, but then I saw Mrs. Rothem’s face.The blood had drained from it completely. She wasn’t angry, or offended, or irritated. She was… frightened.A soft, strangled gasp left her lips. Her knees seemed to buckle, and she swayed. Mr. Rothem qu

EthanA hand clapped against my shoulder, and I turned to see an old friend grinning at me.“Ethan! Congratulations, my friend. You’ve done so well for yourself. And to have Cole Buckman himself at your engagement party… that’s really huge, man.”I gave him a tight smile and nodded politely. “Thank you for coming,” I murmured, and soon he moved on to greet someone else.But my head wasn’t in the room. Not really.My thoughts were still stuck on what I had just seen… or rather, what I had just heard.Who would have thought?Just a few minutes earlier, I had been standing near the balcony, eyeing Jason across the hall. I’d been meaning to speak to him about business, and had started moving toward him when I saw it.A brief glance.Jason’s eyes met Cole’s, and in that one silent exchange, something passed between them. They didn’t even need to speak. They just… left. Together.It was strange enough to make me pause. My instincts instantly kicked in — I felt there was something those two

SkylarAmber and I stood near the wine table as we sipped our drinks, slightly apart from the crowd.“You know… you really shouldn’t have doubted me,” she said suddenly.I arched a brow at her. “About what?”“About Amelia.” Amber’s lips curved in a knowing smile, but her eyes were serious. “What if she had actually deceived you all and her meeting with Cole wasn't even a coincidence?”I exhaled slowly, glancing at my fruit wine. “I don’t know, Amber… Sometimes I still found it hard to believe that someone who looked so innocent and pure could be… that deceptive. I mean, I even pitied her once when I heard her sad story.”Amber scoffed — loudly enough for a couple of guests near us to turn briefly. “And that’s the problem. The most dangerous ones are usually the ones who wear masks of innocence and purity. They act harmless so you lower your guard, but once they drop that mask… you’ll see how ugly they are on the inside.”Then she added, “I sincerely wish that Cole could just send her
Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire The Long Lost Truth
ColeThe day of Ethan’s engagement party had finally arrived.I heard my father and Vanessa had gone all out for the event. I also knew that this event was a place for my father and Ethan's supporters to gather, so I was anticipating seeing some of them today at the party and also reminding them that, even with the support of the Rothem family, they did not stand a chance.But my thoughts froze the moment I saw her.Skylar was slowly descending the staircase, and for a second, I forgot about the party, about Ethan, about everything else. This was the first time — thanks to Amber’s influence — that I’d actually let Skylar choose her own dress instead of having my designers prepare something for her.And I had to admit… she’d done more than well. She looked breathtaking. The dress she chose brought out her elegance in a way I hadn’t quite expected, and yet it still held a quiet confidence that was all hers.For a brief moment, I was pulled back to the first time we’d gone to the family

ColeI was deep into a stack of reports, while my mind kept ticking through the next set of calls I had to make. I didn’t notice the time until my phone rang.It was the internal line from my secretary.I reached over and picked it up, my eyes still on the papers.“Yes?”“Sir, your wife is here to see you,” she said.My pen froze in place.Skylar?I glanced at the clock.Wasn’t she supposed to be shopping with Amber? She had told me that morning that they were going shopping for the engagement and probably wouldn’t be back till early evening.“She’s here?” I asked, leaning back in my chair.“Yes, sir.”“Let her in,” I said without hesitation. Then I added, “And next time, there’s no need to alert me when she comes. She can always come in.”“Yes, sir.”I set the phone down and looked toward the door, wondering why she’d be here so suddenly.A few seconds later, the door opened, and Skylar walked in.The first thing I noticed wasn’t her clothes, her hair, or even the shopping bags she d
