The airport bustled activity as travelers rushed from one place to another, dragging their luggage behind them. Leo and I stood in front of the arrival gate, waiting for Arielle. The sound of the announcement system echoed through the vast terminal as passengers arrived one after the other. The anticipation of seeing Arielle was almost palpable and I fidgeted with excitement.We waited for what felt like an eternity, but finally, she appeared at the end of the corridor, and she was a sight to behold. Her hair was styled in big bouncy curls, and she was dressed in a bright red dress and looked like a Hollywood starlet in cheap clothes. She spotted us and started running in our direction, her heels clicking against the airport floor."Look at you!" I shouted and ran to her, hugging her tight as she arrived. "What's with all the makeup?""Sis, I'm in California. I have to act the part," she said with a batting of her eyelashes. I laughed and pulled her hand, "Come and meet Leo. He's wait

Miracle's POVI could see the frustration written all over Arielle's face as we sat at the edge of the dance floor, watching the guests twirl and sway to the beat. Her arms were crossed over her chest, and she kept shifting in her seat, unable to fully relax."I don't get it," she grumbled, taking a sip from her glass of wine. "I'm eighteen, not five."I sighed and turned to face her. "I don't care about your age. I'm your cousin and I know what's best for you. That guy, Leonel's brother, is not good."Arielle rolled her eyes. "Oh yeah? And how do you know that? Why don't you just let me find out for myself?""You'd better behave," I warned her, frowning. "I don't want any trouble at this party."She huffed and took another sip of her wine. "I hate being treated like a baby. That's one of the reasons I always have issues with Mom, and now you're doing it too, even though you know how much I hate it. Besides, he's Leonel's brother. Your boyfriend's brother." She emphasized the last par

Leonel's POVI was so scared and Arielle's tears weren't helping matters. I quickly started the engine and drove as fast as I could to the hospital. The whole time, I kept repeating to myself, "Please be okay, please be okay." My mind was racing with all sorts of scenarios, each one more frightening than the last. What if she had a concussion? What if there was a severe injury?My heart pounded in my chest as I pulled up to the hospital. I quickly got out of the car and carried Miracle inside. The hospital was crowded and chaotic, but I didn't let that stop me. I pushed my way through the crowd and headed straight for the receptionist."I need a doctor! My girlfriend has fallen and she's hurt," I shouted.The receptionist looked up at me with a look of concern and quickly picked up the phone. Within seconds, a team of medical professionals appeared and whisked Miracle away. I was left standing there, feeling helpless and scared.I paced back and forth, my heart racing with worry. I f

I resumed work on Monday after a great weekend of loving Leo and enduring Arielle who was always keeping me on my toes and making me shout.The morning was quiet as I settled into my desk at the office, going over the weekend's events in my mind. Leo and I had snuggled on the couch and watched our favorite romantic comedies, munching on pepperoni pizza and sipping on coke. Every moment with him felt like a fairytale, and I couldn't imagine a life without him. Arielle, on the other hand, was a different story. She was always up to something, and I had to be on my toes all the time to keep up with her.At first, she kept disturbing me in my room, asking me to come out and play. I kept telling her that I needed some peace, but she was relentless. Eventually, I gave in and went shopping with her, and we spent the day trying on clothes and browsing through stores. Despite the chaos, I couldn't help but smile at her childlike enthusiasm.Leo spoiled her silly, always giving her money and
