Renting The Billionaire's Heart Chapter Eight
Miracle I was troubled and restless, tossing and turning from the strain of a sleepless night. The tangled sheets, soft sighs, and occasional frustrated mutters escaped my mouth as the hours of the night ticked away.It was stupid of me to have offended Leonel. I needed to apologize right away and get back into the game. I simply couldn't afford to lose the contract. It wasn't difficult to pretend to be his lover for three months, but it broke my heart that Travis appeared at this time.The night seemed to drag on. My mind wandered from one thought to the next, and my body refused to rest. The only option was to wait.At exactly six a.m., I got out of bed, put on a robe, and dashed downstairs to the kitchen in search of Leonel. The aroma of brewing coffee hit me, and there in the warm glow was Leonel, leisurely sipping his coffee. He had already dressed for work, with a jacket draped over one arm.When his gaze fell on mine, I felt a flash of panic."Good morning," I managed to say.

LeonelThe company's quarterly meeting at the headquarters brought executives, managers, and shareholders together.Sadness hit me as I stared at the director's vacant seat. I missed my dad so fucking much.My mom stepped forward, took a seat beside my Uncle Romeo, and whispered to him. Then she raised her head and stared at me. "I need everyone to congratulate my son Leonel on his successful bid for the government contract. This is a tremendous accomplishment, and he has truly outdone himself by working tirelessly and with great dedication."A loud cheer rang out across the conference room as I stood up and shook hands with everyone except Lenny. I would rather have my hand amputated. "Son, I'm proud of you." Uncle Romeo tapped me on the back, and when I saw my brother's dark expression, I felt supreme confidence and burst into an arrogant laugh, dominating the room."Did you hear that, Lenny?" I said, walking around with a swagger. "Another major victory for the company."My mom s

Miracle I was stretched out on Leonel's patio, surrounded by twin palm trees, relaxing and taking in the scenery, when my aunt called.Even though I was twenty-two years old, my heart galloped and pulsed. I was afraid she would find out the truth about the contract. My muscles twitched as I fidgeted with my phone. My aunt was the only relative I knew. After my mom drowned when I was eight months old, she took me in because my dad wasn't involved in my life.Although living with her wasn't easy, given the abuse I received from her husband and the painful neglect from my aunt herself, she was my blood, and I loved my twin cousins so much that I couldn't transfer my animosity towards their father to them."Hi, Aunt," I said, masking my nervousness with happiness. "I was just about to call you.""I guess I beat you to it." Her voice sounded flat over the phone. "I received an email from my bank confirming that you transferred fifty thousand dollars into my account. Can you explain what's

MiracleEvery time I lie, my heart physically burns with guilt. Right now, I wish I could skip through this three-month contract and be free of all the lies. It was exhausting to continue pretending and deceiving my family and friends.Travis remained on the phone, and I paced around the room, feeling guilty for chasing him away. "I’m glad for you, Mimi," he said sadly. “You deserve to be happy.”"Thanks," I replied, barely recognizing my voice. "I asked if you were with anyone during our lunch date, and you denied it. There's nothing to be ashamed of. Unless, of course, the man in question has a questionable personality.""Of course not," I replied, and a painful silence fell between us. "He's the best.""How long have you been seeing this person?""We met six months ago.""Oh, I see," Travis replied, his voice tight. "So, who is he? "What does he do?""He works as a real estate agent. His name is Chris.""It must be very successful," he said, prolonging the conversation. "I suppose

MiracleWhen my cousin's name appeared on my screen, I knew why she was calling, and it made me laugh. Ariel was the polar opposite of her mom, Aunt Suzanne; she believed in obtaining money through any available means. Her twin, Ariana, wasn't as vain."I'm fucking pissed at my mom, Mimi," Ariel blurted angrily. "I don't even speak to her anymore."My lips curled upward in a smirk as I listened to her rant. Ariel's rage was like a fire, spreading and devouring everything in its path. I didn't blame her for being angry, and I could understand her frustration."I still can't believe she sent the money back. She's as stubborn as a damn mule. I nearly burst into tears yesterday and right now, I can't stand her. She's unwilling to break free from poverty and doesn't believe we deserve better. So I'm begging you, my darling cousin, to send the money back to me.""Whoa, I'm not sure about that," I replied, shifting uncomfortably. Her breathing became unusually noisy."Hear me out, Ari; I kno

LeonelWhen Miracle descended the stairs in a graphic tee with an anime character print (Naruto), I smiled to myself, feeling warm and giddy. But she was acting strange, and it didn't take me long to figure out why.When her friend, an emo-looking girl with vibrant, multicolored hair and piercings on her nostril and lower lip, walked downstairs, something snapped in my brain.Miracle's face was full of guilt, and my sixth sense told me they were fuck buddies. The thought caused my breath to shorten into a wheeze, and my brain froze for a split second.Nadia had cheated on me with another woman, and I found out the hard way. I was humiliated, and now even my contracted girlfriend, for whom I was not supposed to develop feelings, appeared to be into girls, even though the contract clearly stated that the girl had to be heterosexual.I demanded an explanation, but I was afraid she would confirm my worst fears. Was I being overly dramatic? Women were more emotionally expressive than men.

MiracleThe wind blew through my hair as we descended. The thrill, screams, and laughter were all I needed to get my adrenaline going.Leonel's trembling grip on mine remained tight, refusing to let go, and I didn't want him to. His screams pierced my ears, and he didn't stop until our feet touched the earth. His breathing was uneven and erratic, and his eyes were glazed over. I threw my head back and let out a raucous laugh that rang through my lungs.He joined me with a short, sob-like laugh before collapsing against me. I put an arm around his shoulder and rubbed my hands in soothing circles down his back."You were whining like a baby up there. Aww, you're safe now.”Leonel rolled his eyes, wiping away the beads of sweat that had formed on his face, "And you were superwoman, clinging to the cord for dear life and shaking like a l-l-leaf."I studied his face and suspected he was not doing well. “You good?”He gave me the thumbs-up. "Fine," he managed to say, closing his eyes and

MiracleLeonel and Calvin spent the entire Saturday with me, drilling and training me on how to act like the ideal billionaire girlfriend. Leonel didn't seem bothered, but Calvin was grilling my ass."Let's go over this once more. You must act convincing about your pregnancy and love for Leonel. You must also speak and act with class.""Does she need to?" Leonel yawned and fiddled with the TV remote. "My sister Leana was born into wealth, but acts like a mad cow most of the time."Calvin looked at Leonel with a frown. "That's different because Leana is your sister. Your mom has set high expectations for your partner. We must invest in Miracle's wardrobe, make her appear polished, teach her table manners and how to place a napkin, how to wear the appropriate makeup, drink wine like a lady, speak gracefully without screaming-""Whoa, Calvin, you're rambling," I interrupted him. "I don't scream when I speak, and I know where to place my napkin. Besides, how am I supposed to remember all o

MiracleI got out of the Uber and stood outside Leonel's house. Hot tears streamed down my face. They were tears of frustration, and I had to clamp my lips to imprison a sob. This was too much for me to handle and I had drawn the line. Aunt Suzanne's words and actions deeply hurt me.She was the only family member I had left in the world, yet she kept blaming me unjustly, refusing to see that I didn't mean any harm to her and her family. It was painful, like a stab in the wound, that the person I looked up to as a mother had turned against me.Leonel's car was parked outside. It was surprising that he was home. And annoying because I didn't want him to see me in such a vulnerable state. Leaning against the wall, I bit my lips, wondering how my life would have been if my mom hadn't died. I didn't even know who my father was.Was he alive?Although I had Leonel now, and I had Danny, Linda, Leana, and even Travis, who, by the way, had not bothered to call me ever since his dramatic accu

MiracleI raced through the stark white ICU unit in search of my cousin. It was surreal that I was doing this, and it made me realize that, truly, forgiveness was painful.Ariel was by herself, and I was her only family member nearby, so I set aside any animosity I felt towards her and made sure to be there. I found her room, which was sectioned off with privacy curtains surrounding each bed.The sight of her severely bruised face made me feel nauseous. She was encircled by various medical machines, including heart monitors, ventilators, IV poles, and more. The steady beep of the heart rate monitor reassured me that she was still alive. My legs felt weak, and I grabbed the bed's edge for stability. Nurses moved quietly, tending to the patients, while in the adjacent intensive care unit, Lenny and his family were present. The antiseptic scent of cleaning solution and hand sanitizer made my stomach churn with disgust. I had to swallow hard and increase the coolness of the air condition

LeonelMiracle and I climaxed together, perfectly giving, and taking. My body shuddered, blasted by bombs of pleasure. After cleaning my cock with her tongue and leaving me semi-hard and panting beside her, I fell back and smiled when she got up to clean herself in the bathroom.It was crazy the amount of peace I found with her. My problems were far from over, especially as my brother was smearing the name of the company and making us lose our reputation, yet I couldn't stop the surge of satisfaction that coursed through my veins now that I was going to be a dad. Following her shower, Miracle slipped into one of my comfortable T-shirts and snuggled back under the blankets, nestling her head against my shoulder in a cozy embrace."Is everything okay?" she mumbled sleepily. Her eyes were clouded in a sexual haze, and she batted her eyelashes while staring at me. "Yes, everything is perfect. We will figure this out together," I reassured her.I smiled down at her, brushing a lock of ha

MiracleThis was a situation for me. How could I not know that I had been pregnant for over a month? Everything came as a shock. I was so uncertain and confused, and I didn't even know what to think or how to react.How would Leonel react? Would he want it? I couldn’t see past his doubt for me.Dani watched me stare at the pregnancy strip. Her arms were folded while I bit the inside of my cheek, so lost in thought. I felt so trapped, and my mind began racing through possibilities. The thought of Leonel rejecting this pregnancy caused my breath to catch in my throat."Girl, don't tell me you're worried," Dani said, giving me the stink eye. “You should be happy. This is great news.”I ignored her and began pacing around the room—a habit of mine whenever I was upset or afraid of something. "He's not going to believe me," I kept repeating. "I swear to you, Dani, Leonel will not believe me.""Give me one reason why he won't," she sassed out, irritated by my actions. She knew I was being p

MiracleThe cool night air brushed against my skin as Leonel kissed me. Our tongues were alive with wet heat, and it felt like the world had gone dark around us. I was a mess of hotness, adrenaline, and desire when he pushed his tongue inside my mouth with a hunger that only I seemed able to inspire. He sucked on mine in slow, long strokes, and his hands caressed my body with possessive touches. It was like he was saying, “This is what you are to me, no matter how long we have been apart.”I wrapped myself tightly around him as his mouth trailed along my collarbone to the hollow of my throat.“My love," he whispered, his voice low and husky, "I've missed you so much."His words sent a shiver down my spine, not of cold but of desire. I turned to face him, and our eyes locked in the semi-darkness. "I've missed you too," I confessed, meaning every word.His lips crashed into mine again, this time more urgently than before. My breath came out short in my pants as I tasted the intoxicatin

MiracleI tossed and turned in bed, feeling a restlessness I hadn't experienced in a long time. My mind was flooded with thoughts, recalling the way Leonel frowned with icy anger and the strange way he treated me. His face was etched in my memory, sparking emotions that fired off my veins like thunder.Exhausted from my thoughts, I grabbed my phone and called Dani's number. She was on set, but I sought a diversion or perhaps some comfort."Hey girl!" Dani's voice came through. "How are you? How's it going with the Hamiltons? Any drama?""It depends on how you look at it, but Leonel lost his case." "Oh no!" Dani exclaimed. "That's tough. How did he react?" A gloomy frown spread across my face as I lay back. “Ironically, he didn't blame himself, but instead, he made me the scapegoat. He spoke to me like I was the source of all his problems.”"Fuck. Maybe he still blames you for not keeping your own part of the bargain; you know how it is.""And is that my fault?" I replied, pacing ba

LeonelMy chest caved in, and I stood frozen after the judge had made his pronouncement. I wasn't expecting anything different, but the reality of losing this case to Lenny was a slap in the face. My hand slid loosely onto my hair, which was badly in need of a haircut. I could feel my heartbeat in my throat, and my bleak thoughts kept recycling. Lenny was going to destroy the company. He was going to pull down everything my father had worked for. That was his real intention, and I had to stop him.All eyes were on me, so I had to remain composed. I couldn't wait to get out of the courtroom. I couldn't wait to pour out my anger on someone.My mom hurried towards me with sympathy in her emerald eyes. She widened her hands to hug me, but I held up mine to stop her and recoiled, wondering about the reason for the embrace. Of course, she had good intentions, but I didn't want comfort, not when this defeat stung like a bee. She dropped her outstretched arms with a sigh. "Leonel, sweetie."

MiracleLily and I spent some time together and even went out for lunch. After handing over the necessary documents and enough cash to keep the business afloat, I flew to Los Angeles that weekend. It was a morning flight, and Linda had already booked a first-class ticket for me. I sat near the window, staring at the clear skies with a few fluffy clouds. It was late spring, my favorite season of the year. The other passengers that flew first class were couples in their honeymoon phase. They were too mushy, and no, I wasn't jealous. Acting like I was the sole passenger, I became fully absorbed in my personal entertainment system.We arrived in the afternoon, and it was crazy how hot it was in LA. I got picked up by Linda's driver, a kind, middle-aged man. He tried to make conversation in the car, but my mind was elsewhere. I nodded politely in response to his questions about the weather and other small talk.Finally, we arrived at Linda's house, and I felt a restlessness in my body a

MiracleMemories of my cousin's betrayal blazed in my mind as I flipped the sign on my store to "closed". She had the audacity to show up at my store, asking for trouble. I didn't want to start feeling resentment towards anyone, especially family, but I couldn't help it - her presence ignited a fire of hatred within me.Shaking my head to clear my mind, I was putting my keys in my bag when my phone rang. I dug it out from the bottom of my bag, and the unknown number confused me. When I answered, the voice on the other end left me surprised."Miracle, it's Linda.”I took several gulps of air to compose myself before speaking. "Hi Linda," I said with a very light tone. "How did you get my number?”"Sorry, it took me a while to reach out. With everything that's happened, I wasn't sure what to believe at first. I hope you understand," Linda admitted. And although I had no hard feelings about her, she was free to think whatever she liked."Please tell me, Miracle, where are you?"I stepped
