Lahat ng Kabanata ng Renting The Billionaire's Heart: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

MiracleEvery time I lie, my heart physically burns with guilt. Right now, I wish I could skip through this three-month contract and be free of all the lies. It was exhausting to continue pretending and deceiving my family and friends.Travis remained on the phone, and I paced around the room, feeling guilty for chasing him away. "I’m glad for you, Mimi," he said sadly. “You deserve to be happy.”"Thanks," I replied, barely recognizing my voice. "I asked if you were with anyone during our lunch date, and you denied it. There's nothing to be ashamed of. Unless, of course, the man in question has a questionable personality.""Of course not," I replied, and a painful silence fell between us. "He's the best.""How long have you been seeing this person?""We met six months ago.""Oh, I see," Travis replied, his voice tight. "So, who is he? "What does he do?""He works as a real estate agent. His name is Chris.""It must be very successful," he said, prolonging the conversation. "I suppose

LeonelWhen Miracle descended the stairs in a graphic tee with an anime character print (Naruto), I smiled to myself, feeling warm and giddy. But she was acting strange, and it didn't take me long to figure out why.When her friend, an emo-looking girl with vibrant, multicolored hair and piercings on her nostril and lower lip, walked downstairs, something snapped in my brain.Miracle's face was full of guilt, and my sixth sense told me they were fuck buddies. The thought caused my breath to shorten into a wheeze, and my brain froze for a split second.Nadia had cheated on me with another woman, and I found out the hard way. I was humiliated, and now even my contracted girlfriend, for whom I was not supposed to develop feelings, appeared to be into girls, even though the contract clearly stated that the girl had to be heterosexual.I demanded an explanation, but I was afraid she would confirm my worst fears. Was I being overly dramatic? Women were more emotionally expressive than men.

MiracleLeonel and Calvin spent the entire Saturday with me, drilling and training me on how to act like the ideal billionaire girlfriend. Leonel didn't seem bothered, but Calvin was grilling my ass."Let's go over this once more. You must act convincing about your pregnancy and love for Leonel. You must also speak and act with class.""Does she need to?" Leonel yawned and fiddled with the TV remote. "My sister Leana was born into wealth, but acts like a mad cow most of the time."Calvin looked at Leonel with a frown. "That's different because Leana is your sister. Your mom has set high expectations for your partner. We must invest in Miracle's wardrobe, make her appear polished, teach her table manners and how to place a napkin, how to wear the appropriate makeup, drink wine like a lady, speak gracefully without screaming-""Whoa, Calvin, you're rambling," I interrupted him. "I don't scream when I speak, and I know where to place my napkin. Besides, how am I supposed to remember all o

MiracleMy mind raced with several emotions as I lay in bed, the most prominent of which was shame for being aroused by Leonel’s kiss, and annoyance that I longed for more. It grew worse when I lay on his bed, thinking about how he and I would spend the night.I tried to ignore my disappointment, pretending that I was fine with his response when I asked about the kiss in the rain. I also felt ridiculous. I was a contract girlfriend who had signed a contract to keep our relationship strictly professional, so why was I bothered over a kiss?Drake broke my heart and cheated on me, and I didn't want any man to shatter the remaining fragments.Without a doubt, I had fallen for Leonel, and the thought of him not feeling the same way was almost unbearable. I sat there for a while, lost in thought, my mind racing with all of the feelings and emotions I was trying to sort through.Why was my life so fucking complicated?I tossed and turned, attempting to relax and push Leonel out of my mind,

MiracleIrritated and frustrated with Leonel's erratic behavior, I remained in the bedroom. Dealing with him was crazy.Leonel was a handful whose mood shifted unpredictably like the weather. I lay still, wondering how this miserable weekend would come to an end.Whose fault was it that his brother acted friendly? Did Leonel expect me to shut him out and be rude? It's not as if I was encouraging his brother's advances; I tried my best to stay away from him.An unexpected knock on the door interrupted my thoughts. Leana swung the door open without hesitation and her hand gripped the handle. She greeted me with a lazy smile before casually taking a seat cross-legged on the edge of the bed."New girlfriend, huh?" she teased with a smile, but I wasn't in the mood for any mockery. My frown must have given it away, as she quickly sensed that it wasn't the right time for teasing.I was wrong. She didn't get the hint. She rubbed her palms together with a mischievous hint in her eyes like an e
