Renting The Billionaire's Heart Chapter Twenty-Eight
MiracleI sat behind the chrome dresser, holding a soft-bristled hairbrush tangled with my curly brown hair, waiting for Leonel's arrival. My smile grew as I stared at my reflection in the mirror. I wore my silly neon pink and green nightwear, the one that made me feel like a kid again. Memories of my first day, or was it the second, of living in Leonel's house came flooding back, when I entered the kitchen and his explosive laughter greeted me, triggered by my outrageous outfit. It was magical how things had changed and we'd gone from strangers to lovers. Our love story was a wild ride from 'Who are you?' to 'Can't live without you' in the blink of an eye A beautiful mess. I applied my banana-scented lip balm, feeling the coolness soothe my dry lips, and sat on the edge of my bed, trying to get lost in the pages of my favorite romance novel. My phone lay on the nightstand. Leonel had warned me it would be a busy day. I eagerly awaited our time together, realizing how naturally we'

Miracle I awoke feeling utterly exhausted yet thoroughly satisfied from the insanely passionate night. When I slowly opened my eyes the next morning, I was content and felt a hyper-awareness that something had shifted. Warmth spread through my body, and my lips twitched as I hid a smile behind my hand.Leonel was fast asleep, and his face was as peaceful as a baby. I gazed at him, absorbing the soft shape of his lips and the gentle rise and fall of his chest. It was still surreal that what we shared now was real. I couldn't wrap my head around it, no matter how hard I tried.I carefully untangled myself from his sleeping arms, slowly slid out of bed, making sure not to wake him, and quietly made my way to the bathroom to freshen up. After washing up, I headed back to the bedroom window, enticed by the view of the raindrops outside. My nose inhaled deeply, savoring the earthy scent of wet grass.Leonel had confidently promised that his doctor friend would come through for us, and I t

Leonel My employees were driving me crazy. I had just received a call from the government representative overseeing the building contract—an insufferable old man who wouldn't stop yapping about how dissatisfied he was with the progress of the buildings. "You need to relax," I told him over the phone. "Completing one thousand two hundred buildings by the end of the month is nearly impossible." "That's not what we agreed on, Mr. Hamilton, and you're not meeting your obligations. Get to the site and talk to your workers, or we'll have to hand over the construction to another company." I was livid that the fool only cared about his political agenda and public image. Because the buildings were low-income, they wanted us to rush the project. But when I arrived at the construction site, I was hoping to see efficiency and excellence; instead, I found chaos and incompetence. Workers in steel-toed boots were wandering around aimlessly, chatting and smoking, without even wearing their safety

MiracleI was hesitant about my cousin Ariel's visit to Beverly Hills since I still hadn't told my family the truth about my activities here, despite being in town for nearly two months. But knowing how persistent Ariel was, I knew she wouldn't give up until she uncovered the truth, so it was better to have her visit and explain everything in person rather than over the phone. Plus, she had always dreamed of becoming a celebrity stylist, and this could be her chance. I'd host her, and if she behaved, she could stay. Leonel was recovering well and, at my insistence, was taking the time to fully recover before returning to the construction site. He drove us to the airport, showing his support for my decision to bring a family member to town. We arrived thirty minutes before Ariel's flight landed and made our way through the bustling terminal, filled with people eagerly waiting to greet their loved ones.The flight monitor showed Ariel's Delta flight arriving at five p.m., so we heade

MiracleLeonel sighed contentedly and fell onto the bed. I lay beside him, gazing up at him with a smile. "You make me happy," he whispered, cupping my face. "I don't regret making you mine. And I am hopelessly in love with you.” We snuggled up close and I smiled, loving his touch, his nearness, and most importantly, his words. His eyes grew heavy, and his breathing slowed, surrendering to the warmth and comfort of our embrace. He nestled his head into the crook of my neck, and his arms wrapped around me, holding me tight. In an instant, his gentle snores filled the air. I thought to myself that sex always seemed to knock men out. My phone buzzed on the nightstand, and when I glanced at it, I saw my aunt Suzanne's name. I felt an intense feeling of anxiety, feeling hot and cold at the same time. I wondered why she was calling.Ariel had lied about her whereabouts, so how did her mom know she was with me? Guilt crept in, and I didn't want to get caught up in their drama or hear my a

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

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
