Renting The Billionaire's Heart Sixty-six
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

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

My ears perked up when I heard a loud cry from my neighbor's house and someone calling for help. I grew worried and rushed out. Little did I know that my curiosity would lead to a shocking discovery, and I was about to receive my first slice of heartbreak. Sixty-four-year-old Gwen had fainted while having marathon sex with a young dude. Many emotions ran through my mind: amusement, sympathy, and finally horror at the sight of the young man responsible for her predicament.The last person I expected to see half-naked and sweating like a faucet was my boyfriend, Drake. A lump formed in my throat as I struggled to process the scene. With all the stories of cheating circulating, I had begun to suspect Drake's suspicious behavior—his unexplained money despite being jobless, his lavish spending on gaming at the casino, and other activities—but I never imagined he'd be cheating on me with an older woman. Without thinking straight, I marched straight to him. “How dare you!” I cried out and

My heart slammed like a door shut in my chest, and I experienced a shockwave that ran through my veins and made me dizzy.No way!Standing right before me was the unmistakable figure of a billionaire celebrity, real estate mogul, and YouTube sensation with over fifty million subscribers.Leonel Hamilton.I did a double-take, wondering if I was mistaken. Perhaps this man shared a striking resemblance to Leo.Several questions popped into my head. Why would this perfect-looking man with good looks and a fat wallet want a fake girlfriend?It made no sense to me. Intimidated to be in his presence, I gripped the banister for balance. Calvin thought I was going to fall, so he rushed to hold me."Are you okay?""Yeah," I stuttered. "Is he the client?""You know Leo Hamilton?" Calvin asked with a chuckle. "Of course you do. You don't live under a rock, and to answer your question, yes, he's the client. Now get a grip on yourself and go introduce yourself to him."I wanted to yell at Calvin fo

LeonelI'd made my share of mistakes, fucked women of all shapes from all over the world, and had a few decent relationships with women in my financial bracket, but those were nothing compared to the hot mess I had with my ex, Nadia Mohammad.She was the worst mistake my raging dick caused me.Nadia and I met two years ago at Harvard Business School, where her smartness and humor captivated me. We began a romantic relationship, but I eventually uncovered a string of lies.One. Her dad, Nasir Mohammad, planned to exploit my family's real estate empire for his gain. Two. Nadia was in a secret lesbian relationship.I wasn't the most well-behaved person in the world, but one thing I couldn't stand was cheating. "My dad will kill me," she cried that night when I barged in on her girlfriend finger-fucking her. "Please, Leo, don't do this to me. I promise never to see her again."She claimed she was hiding her sexuality for religious and cultural reasons while using me as a cover to keep he

MiracleI stared at Leo Hamilton's black card, wondering why he didn't write a check or deposit the money into my account instead. Maybe he was putting me to the test. My finger traced the card's gold numbers and I fantasized about the extra perks that come with wealth.When he commented on my hair, I felt insulted, but I kept my feelings to myself. He was used to glamorous girls who'd never tasted poverty. My hair had natural volume and was prone to curling and frizzing.Plus I wasn't expecting to see him in the kitchen. Calvin's explanation last night did nothing to calm my fears. I needed someone to explain in simple terms why Leonel Hamilton hired me despite having a psychotic girlfriend. I called Dani to vent my frustration."Hey, celebrity girlfriend! How are things going in your paradise? I still can't believe Leonel Hamilton is hot, sexy-as-sin….”"Keep your voice down, banshee," I groaned, sitting on the gray ottoman at the foot of my bed. There's a problem."She choked out,

Miracle I blinked away my confusion, wondering what demon from hell had possessed Dani. She dragged me along, drawing several gazes. When we got outside the establishment, I yanked my hand away. "What the hell, Dani?" I scolded her, frustrated that she was nearly a foot taller than me. It was always annoying when I had to look up to speak with her."Read my lips. If you screw this contract up, you're doomed for life. Didn't the contract state that you should never be seen with another man? Have you forgotten how powerful Leonel Hamilton is?”"But Travis-”"Forget about your crush on Travis until the contract is over," she snapped. “Focus.”"Stop yelling at me!" I shot back. "Travis is an old friend and classmate. The contract doesn't prevent me from communicating with family and friends. She shook her head, frustrated. "Dude, that guy was eye-fucking you. Soon, he'll call and ask for a date. Use your head, Mimi."Tired of arguing, I agreed. "Alright, ma'am, I hear you. Can we leave

LeonelSomething felt different when my lips touched Miracle. Kissing her filled my entire body with desire and an unexplainable rush of pleasure, from head to toe. It surprised and annoyed me.The girl was an employee, for fuck's sake. Why did I enjoy wrapping my arms around her waist and the feel of my lips brushing against hers? The slow, drugging kiss sang through my veins as my hands stroked up and down her soft curves.This wasn't supposed to be so enjoyable. She was a freaking stranger. For a moment, I forgot she wasn't my actual girlfriend and was only bound by a stupid contract.Bummer.Her lips were soft, her breath warm, and her tongue was gentle with a citrusy scent. My entire body vibrated with energy, thanks to her intoxicating taste.I didn't want to stop, but I knew deep down that this was wrong. She was beneath my status and was here for the money. She did, however, return the kiss with surprising passion. I damned the consequences, telling myself that I was merely p

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
