Renting The Billionaire's Heart Forty-One
LeonelMy heart squeezed with an unexplainable sadness as I walked into the hospital room with a bouquet of roses, a box of chocolates, and a teddy bear, hoping these gifts would cheer up my sister.She lay on the bed, hooked to an IV drip and a monitor. She was awake now, but her face was pale. I smiled, headed to her bedside, and tried as hard as I could to disguise the pain I felt inside of me.As far as I can remember, Leana has always been active and outdoorsy. If she wasn't working, she'd travel from country to country with her boyfriend, Harry, a Jamaican whose father owned one of the biggest automobile stores in the US.Leana forbade us to tell Harry her condition. She had been diagnosed with stage two blood cancer. We respected her wishes because she had a sinking feeling that he was going to abandon her now that she was sick."And how is my best girl in the world doing?" I said, giving her a peck on the forehead and trying to sound upbeat.Her stare was vacant, and she remai

Miracle Frustrated, I stared at my laptop screen. I couldn't remember my password for the online school portal; I wrote it down somewhere in my diary, but I was too lazy to check. I kept trying a few combinations, but none of them worked.My phone rang, breaking the silence, and when I glanced at the caller ID and saw it was my Aunt Suzanne, my heart began to race. I hesitated, wondering what Ariel must have told her mother. She was probably calling to nag or condemn me for my lifestyle.I decided to brace up and answer, hoping to get it over with quickly."Hey, Aunt.""Miracle, where is Ariel?" My aunt snapped, sounding extremely pissed.I blinked in confusion. "What do you mean?""Oh, don't play dumb! I know my daughter is with you. She's been gone for over two weeks, and I've been trying to reach her for three days, but she's not answering her phone. What have you done with her?" She accused, her voice filled with anger.I furrowed my brow in confusion, wondering why Ariel hadn't

Miracle Shock hit me like a painful punch to the gut at the sight of Drake, my cheating bastard ex. I felt like my breath was knocked out of me.The fool and thief who'd broken my heart was here, right in the flesh, standing in front of me with a shocked look on his face.Leonel's good looks made Drake look like a rusty gate, and I felt deeply ashamed for letting his wandering dick fuck me. He wore a cheap-looking jacket and shirt, different from his usual attire of hoodies and ripped jeans. The jacket hung loosely on him, and his shirt was a gaudy print. It was a look that was utterly out of character for him.My mind raced with questions. What were the odds of running into my jobless ex from Alaska in Beverly Hills? Was the country so tiny that I couldn't even escape him in a place like this? I couldn't believe the coincidence. Had he finally hit rock bottom and resorted to driving for a living? Or was he still up to his old tricks, trying to extort some unsuspecting sugar mommy?

MiracleA sudden release of tension in my body caused me to exhale in relief when Ariel answered her phone. I had no idea she would pick up, and I had been calling her randomly, hoping she would finally answer. Dani sat in the passenger seat. She leaned closer with her face inches from mine and urged me to put the phone on speaker mode."Where in heaven's name are you, Ariel? I've called and sent hundreds of voicemails, yet you didn't even bother to return the call.”My cousin was taking time to answer the question, and when she eventually spoke, her voice cracked through the speaker, sounding very flat and distant. "Why do you want to know?"Dani and I exchanged looks. Her eyes flashed with anger. She was ready to lash out at Ariel, and she would have done so if Ariel had been physically present. I remained composed, aware that giving in to anger would only worsen the situation."I need to know what's going on, Ariel. Your mom is accusing me of kidnapping you. Why didn't you go hom

Warning: This scene contains a detailed same-sex scene 🔞🔞🔞NadiaMy girlfriend and I gazed at the man we'd brought from Alaska. His attire was a laughable ensemble of a cheap, faded jacket, worn pants, and a scruffy shirt that looked like it had seen better days. The overall effect was a cringe-worthy display that made him look like a vagabond who'd stumbled into our presence by sheer chance. On a normal day, I wouldn't ever indulge in a conversation with such a person. He looked like a petty thief. Evelyn's nose scrunched up in disgust while I was surprisingly polite with him.He wasn't so useless after all. Without him, we wouldn't have been able to pull the stunt of getting Miracle's pictures kissing another man.It made me wonder how tasteless the girl was to date someone as rough and scruffy as Drake. Well, she was a pig herself—a beautiful one, might I add—or else Leonel wouldn't be having sex with her."Here's ten thousand dollars, minus your return flight to Alaska," Evel

NadiaI freshened up and embraced my girlfriend for what felt like the hundredth time. Then I bid her farewell and slid into my Mercedes, heading towards Beverly Hills, where I had spent most of my life. The air was heavy with the scent of Arabian spices, a familiar aroma that filled my nostrils as I drove through the gates. When I made my way into the estate, I caught sight of my father's latest fuck toy.She was young—too young for my father—and her intentions to swindle were transparent. Ever since my mama died ten years ago, Baba has developed an unhealthy preference for girls my age.What is it with young girls these days? Everyone was chasing after wealth, and no one wanted to remain in poverty. In this one, for instance, her eyes were filled with deceit. Well, what could I do? My disapproval wasn't going to stop my Baba, and I knew that all too well.We ate in the traditional dining room. I sat on a carpet and prepared to eat couscous and lamb."As-salamu alaykum, Baba.

LeonelAfter a stressful day at work, I returned home to unwind. I pushed open the front door and the sound of the door clicking shut was therapeutic. The house was unusually quiet. Miracle was perched on the couch in the living room, sitting rigid as a board with her hands clasped tightly in her lap. Like someone in a trance, her gaze seemed fixed on a distant point a million miles away."No homecoming greeting?" I teased. When she lifted her gaze, a flash of a smile flickered across her face, failing to reach her eyes. “Welcome back. How was your day?”I shrugged out of my jacket and sank beside her. “Work’s a bitch lately.”She offered a tight nod and seemed very guarded, screaming that something was off. Her gaze darted around. I could sense that there was more to her sadness, but I had no idea what it could be. She launched into a frantic monologue about her cousin, asking if I had talked sense into Lenny. But how could I get to someone who had a history of ignoring my calls,

MiracleDespite the nagging in my head and the growing fear that something terrible was about to happen, I pushed myself to go to Dani's movie premiere.Dani had told me to relax and that worrying wouldn't change the future. She especially disagreed with me lying to Leonel about Ariel, fearing his temper would make things worse. But knowing Leonel, I couldn't shake the feeling that if he found out, things would blow up.As far as I knew, Ariel hadn't told Lenny the truth yet. If she had, all hell would have broken loose, and Lenny would be celebrating.Leonel greeted me with a wolf whistle and a bear hug when I modeled the ridiculously expensive black dress I bought for the premiere. The velvet hugged my curves perfectly, showing off just enough cleavage without being too revealing. The hemline fell above my knees, highlighting my legs. But the real showstopper was the back—a dramatic cutout that dipped down to my waist, showcasing a tantalizing portion of my back. That, of course, w

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
