Cole

I stood at the sink, deliberately washing my hands slowly, not because I needed to — but because I was waiting. I knew it wouldn’t take long before Ethan showed up.

And as expected, I heard Ethan’s footsteps behind me enter the restroom before he spoke.

“Nice to see you again, Cole,” Ethan said, sliding in beside me with that old, smug grin. “I heard about your little stunt at the Westbrook meeting. Congrats on making more enemies. Celebrating with your wife, huh?”

Instead, I shot him a casual glance in the mirror as I continued washing my hands.

“Oh, you heard…funny,” I said evenly, “I noticed you are also here with your fiance- Did you also come to celebrate with her? Too bad I haven’t heard of any big moves from you lately—nothing that makes headlines, anyway. Guess there’s nothing to congratulate.”

His expression froze for a split second, but that was enough for me to see the flash of irritation in his eyes. His grin faltered. It was a small victory, but it felt satisfying.

  • Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire    A Remembered Memory

    SkylarI flinched the moment a hand landed on my shoulder.“Hey,” a voice said softly. “You okay?”I turned and found Jason standing there, looking at me with concerned eyes. I forced myself to nod quickly.“Yeah… I’m fine,” I muttered.Jason looked at me a second longer, like he wasn’t convinced. Meanwhile, the guard had already pushed Grandpa’s wheelchair away, disappearing down the hall with Mr. and Mrs. Rothem behind him.“You look a little pale,” he said softly the moment they were gone, tilting his head as though studying my face. “Are you sure you’re alright?”This time, I forced a smile. “I’m good. Just… a bit tired, that’s all.”Jason studied me again, but then he let it go. He leaned closer, brushing his lips gently against my forehead.“Call me if you need anything, okay?”I nodded, then he turned and left the room. The second the door clicked shut behind him, I let out a shaky breat

    Skylar The door slowly opened. “Skylar!” Jason came in, followed by Mr. and Mrs. Rothem. Cole slowly withdrew his touch and leaned back in his chair. Mrs. Rothem hurried forward and didn’t waste a second before she sat beside me, reaching for my hands. Her palms were warm, her touch so gentle that for a second, I thought I must be dreaming. “Oh, Skylar, how are you? Are you hurt badly? Do you feel pain anywhere?” Her voice trembled as she searched my face with worried eyes. “I…” My voice stuck in my throat. Before I could answer, she leaned forward and pulled me into her arms. I froze, stiff as stone, as she hugged me close. “I’ve been so worried about you, my dear. You have no idea how frightened I was when I heard what happened.” My arms hovered awkwardly in the air before I finally let them fall against her back. Was Mrs. Rothem… hugging me?

    Skylar At first, I wasn’t sure if I was dreaming or floating somewhere in between. My eyelids felt too heavy, and every time I tried to open them, a burning ache pulled me back into the dark. But after what felt like forever, I forced my lashes apart. White. That was the first thing I saw. White walls, too-bright lights stinging my eyes, and the strong smell of antiseptics. Everywhere was quiet, except for the slow, steady beep of a machine nearby. For a few seconds, I just stared, confused, until it all clicked together. A hospital. I was alive. I made it alive! Before I could breathe a sigh of relief, another thought hit me… Mother. I shot up from the bed so suddenly that I felt a sharp, hot pain in my thigh, making me groan loudly. I ignored it, my eyes flying around the room in panic. “Mother! Mother!” I felt tears burning behind m

    Celeste The air in the house felt heavy this morning. Everywhere was just too silent that one would even think our family was mourning or something. But that was because the day had finally come. I had prayed for time to slow down, but now the moment was here. The police were already waiting downstairs, ready to take me away. My parents had tried to stall, I knew they had. They had done everything they could to delay this day. But time does not stop, no matter how much you wish it would. My hands shook as I touched the door handle of my room. My heart pounded in my chest, each beat reminding me that I was not waking from a nightmare… this was real. When I finally opened the door, I saw Mother standing right outside. “Mother,” I whispered softly. She turned to me, and the sight of her nearly broke me. Her eyes were swollen and red, proof that she had been crying for

    Cole“Was loving you a crime, Cole?”For a moment, I just stared at her. I clenched my jaw, leaning forward.“No, Amelia. Loving me wasn’t a crime. But the things you did in the name of that so-called love… those were crimes. You destroyed lives. You hurt people who never wronged you. If you call this obsession love, then yes… it is a crime.”Her face crumbled at my words, though she said nothing. She lowered her head, her shoulders slumping, and I saw it; guilt, shame, and still, beneath all that, a longing she couldn’t hide.I exhaled slowly, rubbing my temples. If she truly hadn’t sent anyone else after Mr. McLair, then the pieces didn’t add up. That meant someone else had been there, someone else had poisoned him before Nathaniel got to him. Which meant the threat wasn’t over.As I was caught in my thoughts, Amelia’s voice cut through the silence. It was softer this time, almost hesitant.“If… if I had met you before

    AmeliaThe jingle of the policewomen’s keys filled the hallway as I was led on both sides by them. I tried to keep my head up, but inside, my chest felt tight.From the cells on either side came the usual laughter and jeers from the prisoners.“Hey, doll face!” one female inmate shouted. "Are you going to leave us today?"Another whistled low, followed by laughter that made my stomach twist.The policewomen made no move to stop them and guided me through another metal door, toward the visiting area.The air was cooler here, calmer, but no less suffocating. My eyes scanned the room quickly, and then they landed on him.Cole.He was sitting there already, waiting. His eyes were on me the moment I entered, and his expression was cold and unreadable.I froze in place. For a heartbeat, I thought about just turning back. Returning to the cell would almost be easier than facing him after everything that had happene
