Renting The Billionaire's Heart Chapter Seventeen
MiracleMy mind raced with several emotions as I lay in bed, the most prominent of which was shame for being aroused by Leonel’s kiss, and annoyance that I longed for more. It grew worse when I lay on his bed, thinking about how he and I would spend the night.I tried to ignore my disappointment, pretending that I was fine with his response when I asked about the kiss in the rain. I also felt ridiculous. I was a contract girlfriend who had signed a contract to keep our relationship strictly professional, so why was I bothered over a kiss?Drake broke my heart and cheated on me, and I didn't want any man to shatter the remaining fragments.Without a doubt, I had fallen for Leonel, and the thought of him not feeling the same way was almost unbearable. I sat there for a while, lost in thought, my mind racing with all of the feelings and emotions I was trying to sort through.Why was my life so fucking complicated?I tossed and turned, attempting to relax and push Leonel out of my mind,

MiracleIrritated and frustrated with Leonel's erratic behavior, I remained in the bedroom. Dealing with him was crazy.Leonel was a handful whose mood shifted unpredictably like the weather. I lay still, wondering how this miserable weekend would come to an end.Whose fault was it that his brother acted friendly? Did Leonel expect me to shut him out and be rude? It's not as if I was encouraging his brother's advances; I tried my best to stay away from him.An unexpected knock on the door interrupted my thoughts. Leana swung the door open without hesitation and her hand gripped the handle. She greeted me with a lazy smile before casually taking a seat cross-legged on the edge of the bed."New girlfriend, huh?" she teased with a smile, but I wasn't in the mood for any mockery. My frown must have given it away, as she quickly sensed that it wasn't the right time for teasing.I was wrong. She didn't get the hint. She rubbed her palms together with a mischievous hint in her eyes like an e

Miracle After that steamy encounter with Leonel, I felt awkward.We had made out like horny teenagers without stopping to think about the consequences. I had no idea how to deal with this big change. I thumbed my ear, hoping this wasn't a damn mistake. It was risky to develop genuine feelings for him as I couldn't tell if it was mutual or not.Leonel fell asleep almost immediately, which made me wonder if there was a drug in the male body that was activated after sexual contact.He noticed my restlessness before falling asleep and gently turned his face towards me, observing me."You look like you regret what just happened and would go back in time to undo it if you could."I let out a sigh. I had a good time making out with him. He made me feel great, but I wasn't sure where this was going.The transition from strangers who had to play a role in deceiving people to becoming intimate without an audience was extremely complicated and strange.My heart was racing as fast as the cars on

LeonelI sat behind my desk in the office, overwhelmed by the piles of papers and blueprints that covered every inch of the surface. Reviewing and approving plans for the government's building constructions was my sole responsibility. This massive project required me to serve as both the lead architect and supervisor.I rubbed my temples in an attempt to ease the budding headache.Calvin walked in, carrying a brown paper bag. Knowing me better than anyone, he had sensed that I was starving and pulled out a sandwich and coffee, set them on my desk and then sat down on the chair across from me. “There's too much work to be done,” I muttered, letting my eyes travel over the mountain of paperwork."I'm not leaving until you eat something. You work like a fucking machine and I fear that one day, you might end up with an ulcer."Smirking, I pulled the bag closer and munched into the sandwich. It tasted better than I expected.“You're a lifesaver. Thanks, man," I said with my mouth full and

MiracleI was the happiest person on earth and couldn't believe I now owned a car.Miracle Anne Holmes, a poor thing from a remote town in Alaska now owns a new car. Somebody, please pinch me!The shiny silver car was fucking beautiful and sleek— It was a sleek convertible with leather seats and a powerful engine, the kind of car I had always dreamed of but never thought of owning.I turned to Leonel, my eyes wide and sparkling. "Is this really mine?" I asked, breathless with excitement. A huge grin broke out across his handsome face as he nodded. "You bet your ass it is. I bought it to make you happy.""Happy?" I repeated, incredulous. "I'm more than happy; I'm ecstatic. Thank you for giving me this, it means so much to me.""You deserve it," Leonel said, wrapping an arm around my waist and drawing me close to him.My heart was pounding so hard, it felt like it was gonna bust out of my chest. I threw my arms around his neck and kissed him passionately. I didn't care that I was soaki

Miracle's povEverything was going smoothly, and despite Leonel being busy with government contracts, he made an effort to spend time with me. We seemed like a normal couple, although he hadn't said he loved me, and we hadn't gone all the way.Every other aspect was perfect.He made me feel so special and whenever he touched me, my body trembled from the intensity of my desires. After I got my phone back, I was bombarded with texts and voice notes from Travis. I ignored them at first, feeling guilty for lying to him, but when I read them, he was so rude and disrespectful and was so close to labeling me a slut. My lips tightened with anger and I drew in slow, steady breaths. I never gave him any indication that I was interested in him even though initially, I nursed the idea of being with someone who loved me. Why was he overreacting when I never directly led him on? I did lie but he was too eager to jump into a relationship with me just because I had a stupid crush on him in the pas

Miracle I slowly pulled myself up from the floor, wincing in pain as a sharp sting radiated from above my left eyebrow. My body felt heavy and weak, as if the weight of my emotions was crushing me. I struggled to stand upright, but my legs felt like jelly, and I collapsed in on myself, defeated.I gazed up at a concerned stranger, a blonde woman in her early twenties, as she grasped my shoulder. "Oh my god, are you alright?" she asked, her eyes wide with worry. I nodded and moved my hair away from my face."Uh, yeah, thanks," I replied, shaking my head to clear the strands from my eyes. She nodded sympathetically and walked away, leaving me to assess the damage. I turned to the mirror and winced at the sight of a purple bruise on my forehead, a painful reminder of Nadia's ring slamming into my face.The slap she gave me earlier stung like fire on my cheek. I was furious and humiliated, but I bottled my emotions, needing to stay composed. It had all happened so fast. Nadia had attack

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
