I always thought it was stupid to cry over heartbreak and that my tears were too precious to waste on a man who doesn't deserve them? But on Valentine's night, I got a taste of my own medicine when I caught my boyfriend, the bastard I showered with gifts and emptied my account for, in bed with an older woman who looked like she could swallow an 18-inch slice of pizza. The laughter that used to bubble in my chest turned into sobs as my heart shattered into a million pieces. My knees felt weak as I stumbled back, my hand covering my mouth in disbelief. The sight of him with another woman felt like a cruel joke, a sick twist of fate. "Drake!" I shouted at the top of my voice and Drake, who was thrusting into his lover, turned around with a start and looked at me with wild eyes and his body glistened in sweat. "What the fuck, Miracle! You… I thought you'd be here at nine," he stuttered, his eyes darting nervously between me and his lover. "Who is she?" His lover asked, her gaze n

Shocking discovery My heart tore its way out of my chest as I experienced a sudden, incapacitating fear that felt as if I was choking on a razor blade. I was standing right before Leonel Hamilton ...the Leonel Hamilton, one of the most sought-after bachelors in the U.S. What on earth was going on? Leonel was one of the most powerful and influential people in the country, a dashing billionaire whom women drooled over and had fantasies about, even though they knew they could never have him, including Arielle, one of my twin cousins. If she had any idea that I was standing right in front of her celebrity crush, she'd have an aneurysm and fire me a rant for not taking her along. Leonel was a Forbes 30 under 30 member, owned a billion-dollar real estate empire and a YT channel with fifty million subscribers featuring multimillion-dollar properties. I began seeing spots in my vision when our gazes met. His eyes raked boldly over me, making me feel like a naked piece of meat. He a

Miracle Restless and irritable, I marched back and forth in my assigned bedroom which was as big as a ballroom. I needed someone to explain to me in plain terms why Leonel Hamilton hired me. Calvin's words did nothing to tame my fears. Leonel was with a woman last night. Now that I was in his house, I needed the contract to work so badly because I was broke. Three million dollars was enough to buy a house, go to college, and revamp my life. And deep down, my heart couldn't handle any more rejection from any Mister. Needing to vent out my frustration to someone, I rang Dani. As usual, she picked after the tenth ring. "Hey, celebrity girlfriend! How's it going in your paradise? I can't believe your client is that hot stuff, Leonel Hamilton. Girl, tell me everything and…" "Keep your voice low, banshee," I groaned, sitting on a puffy gray ottoman."There's a problem." "Fuck me running," she choked. "He rejected you?" My feet crossed to the bathroom to offload my bladder. Ignorin

Leonel An intense surge of desire filled my body when I lowered my lips to kiss Miracle. A passionate fluttering arose at the back of my neck and her nearness gave me an unexplainable comfort. She wound her arms around my jacket and my lips brushed against hers. The kiss sang through my veins, slow and drugging, while my hands stroked up and down her soft curves, my fingers playing along her back. My entire body was alive with energy, her taste intoxicating like an exotic dessert. I didn't want her to stop, but somehow I knew I should. In all my life, I have never witnessed something so pure and strong; it was more than sexual lust or attraction. It was as if we were meant for each other, a feeling too powerful to resist, a feeling beyond the realm of common sense, despite the stupid contract binding us. She wrapped her arms around my neck, returning the kiss with surprising passion. I deepened it, forgetting for a moment that this was all fake. Her lips were soft, her breath

Miracle's POV Leo's mouth widened in surprise at what I said. There was silence in the kitchen except for the beep of the smart refrigerator. "What do you mean you couldn't walk in?"Leo broke the silence, confusion etched on his face as he ran his hands through his hair. "You are to obey without questioning." "I couldn't just walk in on you and her kissing," I replied, my voice shaking, thanks to my racing heartbeat. "It wouldn't have been right. How was I supposed to act? Fight her?" "I can't believe this," he glared at me. "Are you sure you want this money? Because if this is how you'll chicken out in the presence of my family then I don't think we should continue this. There are thousands of women and award-winning actresses who can pull this role without being spoon-fed." My throat felt dry and uncomfortable. This man was ridiculous and the whole thing was beginning to sound like a joke. My tongue itched to tell him to go fuck himself, but instead, I squared my shoulders and
