Skylar

I stared at the screen in front of me in excitement. The last few lines of detail on the design were finally complete.

After weeks of back-and-forth, long nights, and countless changes, I had finally reached the finish line. I leaned back in my chair and smiled to myself.

This one had taken everything out of me. The colors, the layout, the typography—every single thing.

I’d poured my heart into it, and now, looking at the final version, I felt proud. Really proud.

I suddenly heard a knock on my office.

“Skylar?” a familiar voice said.

I turned. “Tara.”

She stepped in, arms crossed loosely, a soft smile on her face. “How’s work going?”

“Good,” I replied with a grin. “Actually, I just wrapped up the final touches on the design I’ve been working on.” I turned my laptop a bit, giving her a peek at the screen.

Her eyes widened. “Wow, this is stunning. Skylar, you’re really doing something here.”

She looked from the design to me, and said with an encouraging smile. “Keep

  • Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire    The Voice

    CelesteI felt my heart stop. For a second, it was like my brain couldn’t even process the words Ethan had just said.No longer interested?My chest tightened, and panic shot through me like a knife.“What… what exactly is he talking about, Mom?” I blurted, my voice cracking as I turned toward my mom, desperate for her to explain, desperate for someone to tell me this was just some awful misunderstanding. “Mom, what’s going on?! What’s Ethan talking about?!”Nobody moved. The air in the room felt so thick. My father’s eyes darted between Ethan’s parents as if waiting for some sort of explanation from them, while my mom looked like she wanted to say something but couldn’t find the words.Jason’s jaw was clenched so tightly I thought his teeth might crack.The silence stretched until Ethan’s mother, Vanessa, finally broke it. She stepped closer to me, her face unusually calm.“Celeste, dear, let me go and talk to Ethan. I’m sure he didn’t actually mean what he just said,” she said softl

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

    CelesteI didn’t understand a single thing that was happening.One moment, the music was playing, people were mingling happily, sipping their champagne and chatting in little groups. It was my engagement party, and I was supposed to be glowing, smiling, and enjoying every second. Instead, the hall felt like it was spinning out of control.Skylar? Aurelia? Whoever she was supposed to be, her name was on everyone’s lips. I heard people whispering, pointing, exchanging shocked looks after Skylar and Cole left the hall.I glanced around and saw my mom standing stiff as a statue, her face pale and shocked. Dad had his arm around her, murmuring something in her ear as if trying to keep her from falling apart.Across the room, Jason was practically nose-to-nose with Ethan, yelling angrily at him. Ethan’s parents were standing protectively near him, throwing Jason angry looks while they tried to shield their precious son from the heat of the moment.It was chaos. Pure chaos. And it was ruinin

  • 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

  • Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire    Bare Truth

    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

  • Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire    Aurelia Rothem

    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

  • Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire    Masks of Innocence

    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
