Miracle's POV Leonel's sister walked into the room, her purple braids disheveled and her eyes darting around the room. She ignored me and went straight to Leonel, sitting on his lap and laughing at some inside joke between them. I felt like a stranger, alone and out of place. "Excuse us, Miracle, we'll be back," Leonel said before walking out of the room with his sister. I sat on the bed, surrounded by luxurious furnishings and expensive decorations. Leonel's mum didn't like me. And why would she? I was nothing compared to the rich and snobby people that she knew. If only she knew who I truly was, then she would gladly endorse a freelancer for her son. My head was pounding like a drum, and I couldn't take the pressure any longer. I kicked off my sandals and collapsed onto the bed, hoping to find some relief in the soft mattress. But my racing thoughts kept me from finding any rest, and I tossed and turned restlessly, trying to find a comfortable position. Finally, I closed my ey
Leonel's POV My heart pounded in my chest as I pressed my lips firmly against Miracles. The intensity of my desire for her was almost overwhelming, and I could feel myself losing control. My lips moved urgently against hers, my tongue dancing with hers and we were lost in the heat of the moment. Every cell in my body was alive with a burning passion, and I couldn't get enough of her sweet, irresistible lips. We broke away from the kiss, looking over to see my mother glaring at me after slamming her hand against the table, her expression filled with disapproval. "Okay, that was hot," Leana said, fanning herself with a mischievous glint in her eye. "I mean, seriously, the way you two were making out… turned me on. " Lenny pretended to gag and my mum groaned. "No, that was disgusting. This is a dining table and not a strip club." Miracle's face was flushed with embarrassment, and I felt a twinge of annoyance that we had been interrupted. I wanted nothing more than to continue the k
Miracle's POV I lay in bed and my mind raced with conflicting emotions. The intensity of Leonel's kiss had left me dizzy and longing for more. I wondered how he and I would spend the night and couldn't believe how aroused I was by the kiss. But his nonchalant attitude afterward had left me confused. I couldn't understand why I was having such strong feelings for someone who didn't feel the same way about me. I tossed and turned, trying to get comfortable and push the thoughts of Leonel out of my head, but it was a losing battle. Every time I closed my eyes, his face and lips seemed to haunt me, and I couldn't shake the feeling that I was falling for him despite my better judgment. I got out of bed and paced around the room, trying to burn off some of my restless energy and caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and saw that my cheeks were flushed. Damn it! I took a cold shower hoping it will help to calm me down and distracted myself by watching a movie on N*****x. My eyes
Miracle's POV I was feeling down for the rest of the morning after Leonel had spoken harshly to me and sat in the room. From my bed, I could hear the sounds of the party preparations going on downstairs in the garden. The decorations were stunning, with flowers, tablecloths, and candles. People bustled about, setting up tables and chairs, hanging up banners and streamers, and generally getting everything ready for Linda's birthday celebration. Just as I was starting to feel sleepy I heard a knock at the door. Leana, Leonel's sister, walked in, looking ridiculous in a beige sweater and net leggings. "Hey, are you busy?" she asked. "No, not really." "I was wondering if you'd like to go shopping with me. I've changed my mind about what to wear for Mom's birthday and I need something a bit more bougie," she said. "Sure," I replied, hoping that the shopping trip would help to lift my mood. "Are you okay?" Leana asked, noticing that I seemed a bit down. "Yeah, I'm fine," I said, f
Leonel's POV As I mingled with the guests at my mum's birthday party, I was pleasantly surprised to see some familiar faces I had lost touch with over the years including Elma, a classmate from high school whose mother was a close friend of my mother's. She had moved to the UK after graduation, and we had lost touch. "Leonel!" Elma waved at me with a warm smile. "Am I dreaming? Elma in the flesh?" She laughed at my reaction and we hugged each other tightly. She looked so different, her ash blonde hair cascading in soft waves. It was such a joy to see her again after all these years. "It's so good to see you again. We should catch up sometime," she added, giving me a flirtatious wink and placing a hand on my chest. I hesitated for a moment, caught off guard by her sudden flirtation. "Uh, sure," I stuttered. "So, are you still a single as-hell eligible bachelor, or is there a little missy I need to know about?" Elma asked with a sly grin. I chuckled awkwardly. "Well, there is a
Leonel's POV Miracle touched my lips with a playful finger and traced them. I hesitated, torn between my feelings for Miracle and my sense of responsibility. "You're drunk," I said, trying to resist her charms. "You'll regret this tomorrow." "Stop talking and fucking kiss me…," Miracle insisted, her words slurred as she leaned in closer to me. I nuzzled her neck, finding it impossible to resist her any longer. Our lips met in a wet, hot slide feeling a surge of desire as we kissed passionately. The kiss was hard, then soft, then hard again. It was simply earth-shattering, It was a brazen kiss that held nothing back. I adored her mouth with my tongue. Her tongue warred with mine, invading my mouth with a wet heat But just as things were heating up, she pulled away from me, rushing to the bathroom. I followed her, helping her pull her hair back as she emptied her bowels. It wasn't the most romantic of scenes, but I couldn't deny that I cared for her and wanted to take care of he
Miracle's POV The moment I stepped into the grand foyer of Leonel's mansion, I was enveloped by a feeling of comfort and peace, as if a weight was lifted off my shoulders. His mum's house was more luxurious, but it had never quite felt like home. This place was warm, familiar, and comfortable, plus the presence of my dear friend Maria made me feel at ease. As soon as I caught sight of Maria, my heart leaped with happiness and I rushed towards her, arms outstretched, and we embraced each other in a tight, joyful hug. We giggled and chatted excitedly like long-lost friends. "Oh come on, Maria, I've only been away for three measly days," I said with a lighthearted chuckle. Maria shot me a playful smirk and raised an eyebrow. "Well, to me it feels like an eternity," she declared with a dramatic sigh. "I've been so dreadfully bored without you around to keep me entertained." We made our way to the living room, where I settled into a cozy armchair. Maria sat next to me, and we spent th
Miracle's POV Leonel's piercing gaze fixed on me as I struggled to come up with an answer. The feel of his touch jolted my senses and my body was like candy in his hands. "I can't answer that question because it's tricky," I cleared my throat and looked away. "How am I sure you don't want me to use this against me in the end?" His face fell and he turned away from me, his shoulders tensing. "Is that how low you think of me? And is the money really all you care about?" he asked his voice heavy with disappointment. Hurt twisted and turned inside of me. "What are you talking about? We signed a contract for me to be your fake girlfriend. Shouldn't we stick to that? " Leonel raised a brow in annoyance and bit his lower lip. "You're right," he said, his voice low. "I shouldn't have kissed you like that. It was inappropriate and unprofessional. We should just stick to the terms of the contract and be friends." A twinge of disappointment tugged at my heart at his words and the fact that
