Skylar

I stared at Minister Adams, my entire body trembling, but not from fear—no, not anymore. It was anger. Deep, burning anger that seemed to rise from every part of me.

In that moment, as my gaze locked with his, something inside me hardened. I had already stared death in the face twice and yet, here I was, still breathing. Death didn’t scare me anymore. Not when I had already lost so much.

I raised my chin and glared at him, refusing to look away. “I don’t care what you plan to do with me. But one thing I know for sure… Cole will never turn out like you.”

His expression didn’t change, but I saw his jaw tighten slightly.

“Cole is not you,” I continued firmly. “He’s better. Braver. Stronger. And he will do the right thing. Even if I die here, I’ll die content, because I know you’ll eventually get what you deserve. You’ll suffer retribution for every terrible thing you’ve done.”

He looked at me for a long, tense, silent moment that I could almost hear the sound of my own breathing.

  • Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire    Blood and Defiance

    SkylarThe moment I saw Minister Adams standing there, my blood turned cold.Xavier immediately stepped in front of me, his body shielding mine.“You’re not going to hurt her,” he said in a low, firm voice.For a second, silence filled the room. I could hear nothing but the faint sound of my own heartbeat.Then Minister Adams laughed coldly, the kind of laugh that crawls under your skin and makes you feel sick.“Still the same fool,” he muttered. Then, without warning, his hand moved faster than I could see.Paah!The sound echoed across the room. I gasped.Xavier stumbled backward, the force of the blow sending him crashing to the floor.“Xavier!” I cried, rushing forward, but he raised his hand slightly to stop me. He wiped the blood from his lips with the back of his hand and looked back at his father with those burning eyes of his.Behind Minister Adams, several guards had already appeared. They stood still, watching the whole scene unfold, their faces blank, like shadows trained

    Skylar “Stay back!” I screamed, my voice shaking with both anger and fear. “If you come any closer, I’ll kill myself!”My hands trembled as I held the shard of glass to my throat. I could feel its sharp and cold edge pressing against my skin. I didn’t know if I truly had the courage to go through with it, but at least he’d keep his distance. At least I had some control.For a moment, Xavier didn’t move. He just stood there, watching me. His eyes looked heavy, like he was fighting an invisible battle inside himself.He slowly pulled out his phone, typed something quickly, and slipped it into his pocket. Then he leaned closer to the door and pressed his ear against it, listening. I held my breath, watching him cautiously.When he turned back to me, his expression softened. “Put that down, Skylar,” he said quietly. “You’ll hurt yourself.”“Don’t come closer!” I snapped, pressing the glass tighter. I felt the sting against my skin and almost winced, but I didn’t lower it.He raised both

    Xavier“Are you planning to let her go after the operation?”The guard’s sharp and suspicious voice sliced through the room. His words pulled me back to reality, forcing me to quickly regain my composure.For a second, I almost let my expression slip… almost. I quickly masked whatever emotion flickered across my face and turned to the guard with a cool, detached look.“What are you implying?” I asked, my tone calm but cold enough to make him take a small step back.The guard’s eyes narrowed slightly. “I’m just saying… you look surprised about the order.”I forced a quiet chuckle and folded my arms, pretending to be amused. “I just didn’t expect my father to give the command to get rid of her so soon,” I replied casually. “I had my own… plans for her in the guest room. I already made arrangements before we end this for good.”The guard raised an eyebrow in doubt, while Skylar, still tied to the chair, scrunched up her face in disgust as she glared at me.“You’re vile,” she spat, her vo

    XavierI stood there, watching as my father’s men led Skylar away. I tried not to show any emotion, not to let the flicker of guilt that burned inside me show on my face. But it wasn’t easy.As they pushed her toward the building, I clenched my jaw tightly. My hands balled into fists at my sides. Skylar looked so small, so helpless, yet her eyes still held that fierce light I had always known her for. She wasn’t afraid of me, rather she was disappointed. And that cut deeper than anything, but I had no choice.When she was out of sight, I called out to one of the guards, “Handle her carefully. I don't want to see any cuts or bruises on her. Am I clear?”The guard turned to me with a skeptical look. His lip curled slightly, as though he wanted to ask why I even cared. But after a few seconds, he gave a reluctant nod and left with the rest.I exhaled slowly, trying to calm the storm inside me. Then, suddenly, my second phone began to ring. The name flashing on the screen made my stomach

  • Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire    The Drive of Deception

    SkylarI sat in the back seat of the car with my wrists cuffed, and my hands resting on my lap.The cold metal bit gently into my skin every time the car hit a bump. Xavier sat beside me; silent, composed, and completely unrecognizable from the man I used to trust.If anyone had told me a few hours ago that he was behind all this, I would’ve called that person mad. But here I was, sitting beside him, being driven to God-knows-where.It all made sense now… the reason Troy and his men had so easily allowed me to leave the house earlier. No protests, no insistence to follow — something completely unlike them. I had found it strange at the time but brushed it aside, too focused on the warning about my mother. I thought they trusted me to handle myself.Now I understood.Xavier must have told them to stand down. After all, he was the head of Cole’s entire security network. His orders carried authority.I glanced at my small black handbag beside me and let out a quiet sigh. I turned my head
