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
Leonel's POVEvery inch of me lit up with the burning, urgent need to possess Miracle. She was so beautiful, and it took all my effort to not lean in and kiss her right then and there.But I didn't want to force myself on her. Even though we had kissed earlier, I wanted everything between us to happen naturally. I took a deep breath and pulled away. She looked stunned but didn't say anything."Let's head downstairs," I said and picked up my briefcase.The drive home was tense and the sexual energy between us was palpable. My heart pounded in my chest, and I knew she could feel it too. We sat in silence for most of the ride.Finally, we arrived home. I got out of the car, walked around to the other side, and opened the door for Miracle. She smiled at me and said, "How cute."I couldn't help but grin back at her, feeling my heart swell with affection. I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her in for a tight embrace. Her body fit perfectly against mine, and I reveled in the feel
The air in the office was thick with tension as the women continued to stare at me with disbelief in their eyes. Calvin stood by my side, shrugging nonchalantly as if he didn't have a care in the world.Kate stepped forward, her voice sickly sweet as she asked, "Is it true? Are you the boss's girlfriend?"I felt anger boil inside of me, but I pushed it down and pasted a calm expression on my face. I didn't want to give Calvin the satisfaction of seeing me lose my cool."It doesn't matter," I replied, my voice firm. "I'm here to work, not for pleasure."Kate's eyes narrowed and she crossed her arms over her chest. "Well, that's not how things work around here. We have a reputation to uphold and I'm not sure you're the right fit for this job."Tracey, the blonde-haired woman, stepped forward. "Kate, she's here to work. Let's give her a chance."Her friend snorted. "Tracey, she couldn't even enter a simple spreadsheet yet. How is she going to help us?"I felt a pang of embarrassment and
Miracle's POVI woke up feeling nervous about my first day at Leonel's real estate company. Nervous butterflies floated in my stomach as I wondered what kind of boss Leonel was. What was I thinking to join the biggest real estate company in the country without a college degree or experience in the field?As I held my dress, my heart beat faster and faster. I was just a small fish in a big pond, and I was starting to feel overwhelmed by the enormity of the task ahead. I wore a professional, tailored navy blue dress with a high neckline and long sleeves that hugged my curves just right. The fabric was soft and silky, creating a sleek and polished look and I paired the dress with black heels, adding just enough height to elongate my legs.Then I styled my hair in a sleek bun, pulled back neatly from my face, and secured it with bobby pins. A few tendrils of hair framed my face. I kept my makeup simple and natural, with a light base of foundation and a dusting of powder to keep me shine
