LeonelAttending a basketball game monthly was a tradition for my friends and me. I was deeply invested and I also needed a distraction from work to avoid another breakdown. Miracle, her cousin, my sister Leana, my friends, Alex, Bart, and their girlfriends joined me. We headed to the VIP seats, where I noticed Bart's girlfriend eyeing Miracle's and my linked hands.I wondered if Bart had opened his big mouth to spill the beans about the contract and made a mental note to ask him later. Leana and Miracle were like two peas in a pod, giggling and chatting about girl stuff that didn't interest me. When the players took to the court, I felt a twinge of envy. Basketball was my unfulfilled dream, but fate had other plans for me. Becoming a successful billionaire wasn't a bad consolation prize."Are you having fun?" I asked, squeezing Miracle's hand as the game began."Yup!" she replied, beaming. "I love basketball.""And I love you more," I said, leaning in for a kiss. She gasped and tur
MiracleLeonel awakened me to the true meaning of love, and I finally understood the difference between infatuation and genuine connection. My past relationship with Drake now seemed like a toxic obsession, with him using me for his gain. In contrast, Leonel showered me with love, care, and affection, and I reciprocated with equal passion. The best part? He was loaded, and his generosity only added to the sweetness of our relationship, making every moment with him feel like a dream come true.His hands wrapped around my body, causing my heart rate to skyrocket and a rush of blood from my fingers to my toes.Every rational thought that we were making out in the kitchen vanished as he deepened the kiss, and his cock did magic to my body."I'm planning to turn you into a dripping mess," he whispered against my mouth, covering it hungrily. New spirals of ecstasy coursed through me, making me moan loudly."Please don't stop.” I trembled as he lifted my leg and placed it on the island, tak
MiracleWhen Leonel informed me that his mom wanted us to spend the weekend with the family at a resort, I felt uncomfortable but didn't have a choice. “Do I have to go?” I whined, and Leonel chuckled. "Of course. Don't forget that our relationship isn't fake anymore. What I feel for you is real, and you have now become a part of my life." When I informed Ariel about the trip, she began to act fussy. “I can't stay in the house alone.” “And why not? The housekeeper is here.” Her face scrunched up. “Please, Mimi, can I come with you guys?” “Hell no! The other day, you were flirting with Leonel's brother. I don't trust you to be well-behaved.” She shot me a deadly frown. “Now you're being judgmental, and it's unfair.” Just as I was about to counter, Leonel walked in, overhearing the conversation. “It's fine. She can come with us as long as she behaves.”I glared at Leonel, and Ariel's face lit up with excitement. “See! Even Leonel doesn't mind if I come along. You should stop act
LeonelI gradually opened my eyes, feeling the absence of warmth beside me. I blinked a few times, trying to shake off the sleep. As I glanced around the room in search of Miracle, the space on her side of the bed puzzled me, and I wondered where she could have gone.“Looking for me?” She asked, announcing her presence. She walked out of the bathroom wearing my shirt. My heart swelled with love for her, especially because she was comfortable enough to wear my clothes."You left me all alone, and sleep became a turmoil," I said to her, gazing into her eyes. She sat on the bed, and I noticed the look of restlessness in her eyes."What's wrong, baby?”She sighed and stared at her palm. "I don't know if I'm overreacting, but I don't like how your brother is all over my cousin."She was right, and I shared her concerns. Lenny's behavior towards Ariel was suspicious, and I knew he was capable of exploiting anyone to get what he wanted. His desperation to mock me might lead him to use her as
MiracleIf someone had told me this news, I wouldn't have believed it for a million years. Let me break it down: Linda, Leonel's mom, the epitome of refinement and haughtiness,had a younger lover? Unthinkable! And not just anyone, but her son's friend and assistant?And then there's Calvin, who's been giving me the cold shoulder for reasons unknown. I thought he just didn't want Leonel and me to get serious and that he saw me as a fraud. But who would have guessed that he was secretly sleeping with his boss's wife?I'm not one to judge; I'm far from perfect myself, but this news was just beyond my wildest imagination, and it was hard to wrap my head around it.Earlier, I sat on the porch, enjoying the breeze and the view of the resort, when I heard Leana shout my name. I dropped the glass of juice I was holding and jumped off the porch, rushing to her side."What is it?""I don't know. My mom sounded very distressed over the phone. She said Leonel and Calvin are fighting."I gasped in
Miracle Weekend Getaway RuinedI was sad when we packed our stuff. The getaway, which was supposed to be relaxing, had now turned into pure chaos. Leonel and his family were big figures in society, and it would be horrible for their secrets to spread like wildfire, so the reasonable thing to do was to leave.We left without saying goodbye to anybody. Because we didn't plan to travel back that day, the private jet was under maintenance, and Leonel had to pay double the price of our flight ticket. He was willing to do anything just to get away from that environment. I could tell he was hurting but didn't want to talk about it. He just stared out the window, his jaw clenched, and his blue eyes darkened with fury.The house was silent as a graveyard. Ariel and I were walking on eggshells. We didn't want him to lose his temper on our account. Maria noticed that something was off when we walked in, and when Leonel stormed upstairs, she whispered, asking if anyone had died.“Everyone is fin
LeonelThe hospital room smelled like medicine, and the room's sterile white walls were sickening. I walked out in the hopes of getting some fresh air.After Miracle left, the tension between my mom and me escalated to an unbearable level. We stood in the hospital hallway outside Leana's room. My mom's soft whimpers echoed through the corridor and her eyes flashed with unbridled grief.I should be consoling her, wiping her tears, and helping her scale through this dark cloud. But when she looked at me with red-rimmed eyes, all that filled my head was the image of Calvin between her legs, eating her out.It was a disgusting sight that made my stomach turn. She was a successful woman in every sector of life. She had everything she could need in life. Fucking Calvin was a low blow. My feelings were beyond anger. I felt disgusted and betrayed. She sounded like some wounded werewolf who was separated from their mate. The thought of how that fucked-up bastard, Calvin, whom I was older than
MiracleDespite my warnings to Ariel to steer clear of Lenny, she continued to communicate with him. I was furious, and when I told Leonel I was sending her back to Alaska, he agreed that it was the best course of action. It pained me to send her away, as I had enjoyed her company and had no issues with her aside from her flirtation with Lenny. Leonel had planned to enroll her in a fashion design program at the Art Institute of California, but those plans would have to be put on hold until she learned to be more responsible. He even tried to scare her off by telling her about Lenny's reputation for having a different girl every night and only caring about himself, warning her that Lenny would use her for his pleasure and manipulate her mind. But Ariel was stubborn, and sending her far away from Lenny's influence was the best decision."Seriously, Miracle, are you going to do this?" she pleaded, clutching her suitcase in the living room. "Why are you being as obtuse as my mom and mis
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
