Sweet Submission: Love Me, Mr. Billionaire
Skylar McLair’s world falls apart when her father is caught in a scandal that leaves him bankrupt and in a coma.
Just when she needs him most, her boyfriend Ethan turns cold and proposes to a wealthy heiress- claiming Skylar is no longer worthy to be his wife. Instead, he offers her something cruel: become his mistress, and he’ll save her family's status and reputation. After all, he is the heir to the powerful Buckman Corporation.
But fate steps in… wearing Cole Buckman’s name.
Cole, Ethan’s distant and mysterious stepbrother- and the true heir to the Buckman empire, comes into Skylar’s life through a contract marriage she never expected. To the world, he’s ruthless and unreadable. But to Skylar, he becomes something else entirely.
Every time she stumbles, he’s right there- steady hands catching her before she falls. And whenever trouble finds her, he shows up without fail, like he’s been watching over her all along.
She begins to think he’s simply a good man caught in the middle of a family war.
What she doesn’t see… is that Cole has been drawing her in from the very beginning.
Step by step.
And by the time Skylar realizes she’s fallen into his trap- one built not of lies, but of desire and something else…her heart may already be his.
As for Ethan?
Let’s just say… he never saw it coming.

Chapter: Uninvited EncounterSkylarI didn’t expect this restaurant to be so expensive, and to make things worse, Cole picked the most expensive dishes on the menu. I felt like I’d wandered into a luxury auction instead of a dinner date.The prices were way beyond my budget, and for a moment, I couldn’t help but wonder if Cole was deliberately ordering the most expensive dishes on purpose. But when I looked into his eyes, they looked so calm and sincere. Maybe I was just overthinking it. Maybe he didn’t even notice how costly everything was. Still, as the waiter listed off their chef’s specials and Cole ordered without a hint of hesitation, I felt my stomach tighten into knots.He picked the Chilean sea bass carpaccio, and the A5 Wagyu ribeye — not just one, but two portions. Two. My heart nearly stopped. I knew Wagyu was expensive, but when I saw the price printed on the menu — two hundred and fifty dollars per slice — I could practically hear my savings account cry out in agony. It became so obvious that I

Chapter: Price TagCole “You look stunning tonight,” I said as soon as I approached her, watching her cheeks flush just slightly, the way they always did when I caught her off guard.She tried to play it cool, brushing a strand of hair away from her face.“Thanks,” she murmured, that proud little smile tugging at the corner of her lips. “Shall we?”The second we walked in, a sharply dressed waiter, hands clasped neatly behind his back, appeared and showed us to our table.As soon as we sat down, I turned toward Skylar, leaning back slightly.“So,” I said, tilting my head. “Mind explaining what you meant by this arrangement? You were pretty quick to make it sound like you had a plan.”Skylar met my gaze, her fingers lightly brushing the edge of the table, her expression soft. Her lips curved into a playful smile. "I wanted to do something for you. Since you celebrated my success with that incredible, delicious Beef Wellington meal you made for me, and since I can't exactly return the favor in the kitc

Chapter: Elysian Crest Cole"Yes, Mr. Bernard, the contract terms are clear. I'll have the paperwork finalized and sent by Monday." I leaned back against the office chair, my fingers drumming lightly against my desk.A smirk tugged at the corner of my lips as I heard my client's promising words over the phone. "Pleasure's mine, Mr. Bernard. I assure you, we won't disappoint."A few more pleasantries, some minor confirmations, and the call ended. The moment the line went dead, I let out a breath I didn't realize I'd been holding and threw my fist into the air."Yes!" I muttered excitedly.It hadn't been easy getting this particular client. The foreign investor had been elusive, difficult to impress, and impossible to pin down, but today, all the effort had paid off. I could almost hear the sound of new doors swinging wide open for the company.The hours slipped by unnoticed as I wrapped up the last bits of paperwork, and before I knew it, night had fallen. I shut down my computer, grabbed my suit jacket, an

Chapter: Getting To Know Him MoreSkylarCole stood at the doorway, suit jacket off, tie loosened, eyes darting between me and Ingrid.“What’s going on here?” he asked, stepping inside.“Welcome back, Young Master,” Ingrid chimed in smoothly, her voice calm as if she hadn’t just spent the last ten minutes trying to drag me out of the kitchen. Then, without missing a beat, she turned to me — arms folded, one brow slightly raised — her whole stance screaming ‘I told you so’ without even needing to say a word. I could feel my cheeks burn as I stood there, caught red-handed with an apron around my waist, a spoon in my hand, and guilt practically written all over my face.I rubbed my arm, feeling the embarrassment crawl all over me.“I… passed the assessment test at Elegance Jewelry today,” I confessed quietly. “And I wanted to celebrate with you. So, I thought I’d cook.”I stole a quick glance at him, half-expecting the usual — a lecture or at least a reminder about how I wasn’t supposed to set foot in the kitchen after

Chapter: Cooking Gone WrongSkylarAfter I left the café that afternoon, I couldn’t stop smiling. My heart felt so full it might burst. The talk with Mom had gone better than I dared to hope.For the first time in a long while, her coldness had melted—even if just a little.Hearing her proud voice, seeing her tear up over my new job at Elegance Jewelry, felt like a piece of my world sliding back into place.And I couldn’t wait to share that joy with Cole.The second I walked through the door, the house felt too quiet, too ordinary, for the way I felt. I wanted to mark the day, to make it special. I wanted to do something for him for the encouragement and support.I thought about what I could do for him.I knew money was never a problem for Cole. It never had been, and honestly, I didn’t have the kind of wealth he was controlling anyway. Throwing gifts or fancy things at him would be meaningless. I realized I needed something real. Something he would actually appreciate. And then it hit me — I could still cook

Chapter: Mother & Daughter MeetingSkylarThe past few weeks had been a whirlwind of anticipation, but today, as I stepped out of Elegance Jewelry's sleek headquarters, a radiant smile spread across my face. Clutched in my hand was the official letter confirming my position as a jewelry designer at one of the most prestigious companies in the world.My fingers trembled slightly, not from nerves, but from sheer joy. I wanted to laugh, cry, and scream all at once. I had done it! I was in! Without hesitation, I pulled out my phone and dialed my mother’s number. Even with all the excitement bubbling inside me, my first instinct was to call her — the woman who had shaped so much of who I was, the reason I had fallen in love with making jewelry in the first place. Growing up, I had spent countless hours watching her craft beautiful pieces, and somewhere along the way, that passion had rooted itself deep in me. The line rang a few times before she finally answered. "Hello?" Her voice was cool, a bit cold, remindi

Chapter: Where I BelongREGINA I made my way to Marcy’s room shortly after seeing Lionel. She looked so small lying there, her face pale but serene. Her hands rested on her swollen belly protectively, even in her sleep. My heart clenched at the sight of her. The sister I had thought I’d lost forever was here again, and despite everything we had endured, there was hope. Then I thought of the tragedy that had befallen her—of Silas and everything else. Victor had indeed taken more than we could imagine. “Marcy,” I whispered as I approached her bed. Her eyes fluttered open, groggy but quickly filling with recognition. “Regina?” she murmured, her voice hoarse. I nodded, tears already welling up. “It’s me.” She eased into a smile. “I just knew you could do it. I just knew you could. You’ve always been just too strong.” I laughed as I planted a kiss on her forehead. “How’s the b

Chapter: A New Dawn
LIONEL The first thing I noticed was the sterile smell of antiseptic. My body felt heavy, but the softness of the hospital bed was comforting. Slowly, I blinked my eyes open. Regina’s face came into focus. Her hair was slightly disheveled, dark circles shadowed her eyes, but she was the most beautiful sight I’d ever seen. Her hand rested on mine, her touch grounding me. “Lionel,” she whispered, her voice filled with relief and tenderness. Tears welled up in her eyes as she leaned closer. “You’re awake.” I managed a weak smile. “Hey…” Before I could say more, Grandpa appeared by her side, his face a mixture of concern and relief. Ryker and Gwen were there too, their expressions lighter than I’d seen in days. “You gave us quite the scare, kid,” Grandpa said, his gruff tone unable to mask the emotion in his voice. “Victor?” I rasped, the memories of the fight f

Chapter: ShowdownREGINA “No,” I whispered, cradling Lionel closer. His breathing was shallow, his usually vibrant eyes clouded with pain. Victor stood a few paces away, lowering his weapon with a chilling casualness. “You should've just cooperated with the plan, Regina.” He chuckled disdainfully. “You and that pathetic excuse of an alpha.” “Don’t you dare!” Marcy’s voice cut through the tension, and I turned just in time to see her charging at Victor. “Marcy, no!” I screamed, but it was too late. Victor swatted her away like she was nothing, sending her flying into the side of the truck. She hit the metal with a sickening thud, collapsing in a heap. My mouth dropped open, my scream coming uncontrollably. “Stay down, girl,” Victor sneered, turning his attention back to me. I froze, my arms tightening protectively around Lionel. Every instinct screamed at me to fight, but my b

Chapter: Let’s End ThisREGINA I and Marcy had been together in the room, waiting, when we heard the sounds of the war going on outside the building. Lionel was here. At first, a feeling of joy and assurance rushed to me, but almost immediately, a certain panic rushed through me when we had waited for quite long enough and Lionel was yet to show up. “Are you sure he’s still okay?” Marcy asked, the fear in her voice evident. “He is okay.” I replied with all certainty. “Nothing could happen to Lionel!” Then the men suddenly stormed in, barking orders. Marcy and I rose hastily and followed the men down the corridors, all the way to the back of the warehouse. Soon, we were out in the dark and there was nothing but the dim lights of the moon to guide us through. I could still hear the faint buzz of war on the other far end of the building. Axel led the group of Victor’s men, his expression unreadable, but

Chapter: Final ConfrontationLIONEL His taunting words drove me mad, but I refused to give him the satisfaction of seeing me fall apart. I clenched my jaw, focusing on my breathing as I adjusted my stance, preparing for the next round. But Victor wasn’t done. He was playing with me, like a predator toying with its prey. He danced just out of reach, circling me, his every movement calculated, precise. “You know, Lionel,” he began. “I’ve always admired your strength. But strength doesn’t mean anything when it’s built on lies. Your so-called ‘perfect love’ with Regina? It’s a joke. You’re both weak, just like your parents were. Too sentimental. Too tied down by your pathetic little bond.” His words struck harder than any blow he could throw, reminding me of all the mistakes I’d made, of all the things I’d failed to protect. The past kept clawing at me, refusing to let go. I roared in fury, charging toward him once more, but this time, I cou

Chapter: AmbushLIONEL All I needed was a location and just that, Arturo had provided. Another site, another holding of Victor’s. Even if it meant going to a hundred locations this same night, as long as I was not dead, I was going to set my eyes on Regina and there was nothing that could be done to change that. As we drew closer to the warehouse where Regina was supposedly held, we knew better than to just storm our way in. We needed to maintain a low profile. The warehouse loomed ahead, its corrugated metal walls dull and rusted under the dim glow of the moonlight. A faint chill ran down my spine as I scanned the perimeter. This was the place. I could feel it in my gut. Regina was inside, and I wasn’t leaving without her. Ryker crouched beside me, his face set in grim determination. Arturo and his men from the Eric Circle pack fanned out behind us, their movements silent and purposeful. Each of them carried
