Amelia

I stared at my phone, frozen.

I looked down at the screen again, hoping I had made a mistake—hoping I had dialed the wrong number or spoken to the wrong person. But no. It had been Cole. My Cole.

The call had lasted barely a few seconds, but his voice—his cold, distant tone—it was like a slap across my face.

He had never spoken to me like that before. Not even when he was angry. And now, he had the audacity to say he was with Skylar?

My throat tightened. My hand shook slightly as I lowered the phone from my ear. I wanted to scream, throw something, punch a wall—anything to stop the anger in my chest.

He picked Skylar over me.

Again.

Just then, a loud, exaggerated cough echoed beside me. I turned my head slowly, and there she was—Ingrid.

She was pretending to dust the television stand, but I could tell she was eavesdropping.

“The works of the wicked shall not prevail,” she said, loud enough for the entire house to hear.

I narrowed my eyes at her, my fists tightening by my sides

    ColeI stepped out of the car and walked over to Skylar’s side. Slowly, I opened the door and offered her my hand. She placed hers gently into mine, and I helped her out of the car with care, keeping one hand steady on her back.“Easy,” I murmured, steadying her.She raised her brows, a teasing smile forming on her lips. “Cole, I’m pregnant, not made of glass.”I let out a breath and smiled.“Still… you need to be extra careful. You're carrying our child.”Skylar rolled her eyes playfully but didn’t argue.After I’d told Grandpa about Skylar’s pregnancy, he was so happy. He’d laughed heartily over the phone and then insisted on seeing us the very next day for dinner. He said the whole family needed to come together to celebrate.We walked through the tall oak doors of Grandpa’s estate, Skylar’s hand tucked inside mine. As soon as we stepped into the hallway, Grandpa appeared. He looked… younger, his eyes gleaming with joy and energy.“There she is!” he exclaimed, spreading his arms wi

    SkylarCole hadn’t stopped smiling since the doctor gave us the news. He looked like a man who had just won a lottery worth billions.He stood at the side of my hospital bed, holding my hand gently. He didn’t even hesitate before grabbing his phone and calling my mother.I could hear her squealing, laughing, and crying all at once, asking to speak to me.He handed the phone to me.“Mum…” I said softly.“My baby girl,” her voice cracked through the line. “I’m so happy for you! You’re going to be a mother! Oh, Sky… this is the best news I’ve heard in a long time!”I wiped at my eyes even though I wasn’t sure when I had started crying. “I’m happy too, Mum.”“I’m on my way,” she said quickly. “I need to see you.”It didn’t take long before the ward became full. Mum was the first to arrive, of course. She rushed in, her arms already outstretched, and pulled me into a soft, motherly hug that somehow made me feel like a little girl again.“Oh, Sky,” she whispered into my hair. “You’ve made m

  • Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire    Unexpected Joy

    ColeThe moment Xavier left, I sat down and rubbed my hands over my face. Everything felt like a mess.I took a deep breath, trying to manage my emotions. After I felt calmer, I reached for my phone and dialed Tara's number to ask about Skylar, as I intended to do before Xavier came in. She picked up immediately.“Sir! I was just about to call you,” Tara said breathlessly, her words tumbling over one another. “Skylar… she just collapsed. She’s at the hospital.”My heart stopped.“What? What do you mean collapsed?!” I quickly shot up to my feet.“She was in the middle of a meeting, and she suddenly passed out! Please get here fast!”I didn’t even stop to think. I threw on my coat and rushed out of my office while asking Tara for the hospital address.As I rushed through the hallway, I spotted Xavier, who was standing by the hallway talking to someone. He looked confused as our eyes met.“Cole? What’s going on?” he asked as he started walking beside me, his eyes filled with concern.“It

    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
