LOVE IN PARIS: Married To My Brother-in-law-Chapter 123: Christmas Miracle II

As soon as they got home , Tyrell insisted on cooking dinner, shooing her away with a playful smirk. "Go relax, love. You’ve had a long day."

She smiled and pressed a kiss to his cheek before heading upstairs, knowing fully well she would never win him.

But the moment she reached the landing, the sound of rustling fabric and muffled giggles caught her attention. Frowning, she pushed open the door to the bedroom only to freeze in shock.

Linda and Dani were knee-deep in a whirlwind of clothes, tossing dresses and swimsuits into open suitcases with the energy of excited children.

Leila’s brows shot up in confusion as she asked. "What... are you two doing?"

Dani grinned, holding up a sunhat. "Packing, obviously!"

"For...?"

Linda blinked, then burst into laughter. "Oh my God, you don’t know?"

Leila’s pulse stuttered. "Know what exactly ?"

"The vacation!". Dani clapped her hands. "Didn’t bro-in-law tell you? We’re getting out of here to somewhere far, far away to rest and far away from all this drama going on online ."

Leila’s breath hitched. A vacation? After everything?

After he had lost his career because of the backlash from their relationship? Her chest tightened with emotion. He had given up so much, and yet here he was, planning an escape not just for her, but for her family too.

"You seriously had no idea?". Linda gasped, then winced. "Oh no. Was this supposed to be a surprise? We ruined it!"

Before Leila could respond, a deep chuckle sounded from the doorway.

"It’s okay, girls."

Tyrell leaned against the frame with arms crossed, his eyes dancing with amusement. Leila turned to him, her heart swelling at the sight of his easy smile.

"Planning a vacation without me?". She teased, though her voice wavered slightly.

He pushed off the doorframe and closed the distance between them, cupping her face. "Of course not. I wanted it to be a surprise, but..."

He shrugged, brushing his thumb over her cheek. "Christmas is in a few days. Figured we could all use a break."

Leila swallowed hard, her fingers curling into his shirt. "And where, exactly, is our destination?"

Tyrells grin turned sly. "That’s the best part. It’s a surprise."

Dani and Linda erupted into giggles, and Leila couldn’t help but laugh, shaking her head.

"You’re impossible". She murmured, leaning into him.

He then kissed her forehead. "You all keep packing. I’ve got dinner to finish."

With a wink, he disappeared back downstairs, leaving Leila standing there, her heart so full it ached.

She exhaled shakily, pressing a hand to her chest. I promise you, Tyrell. You won’t lose your career because of me. Not if I can help it.

Later that night, after a dinner filled with laughter and wine Leila slipped into the shower, letting the hot water soothe her nerves. The events of the day replayed in her mind, Eric promo, Tyrell surprise, the way her sisters had lit up at the thought of escaping the chaos.

She had just stepped out, wrapping herself in a plush towel, when a sudden "Holy shit!". echoed from the bedroom.

Her pulse spiked and she rushed out, droplets of water still clinging to her skin, only to be swept off her feet, literally as Tyrell lifted her into the air, spinning her around with a booming laugh.

"Leila! You won’t believe this!"

She clung to his shoulders, breathless. "What? What happened?"

He set her down but didn’t let go, his hands gripping her waist as he beamed. "Peter just called. The agency. . they’re renewing my contract! Not just that, they’re expanding it! They’re pushing back against the backlash, supporting us!"

Leila’s lips curved into a slow, knowing smile.

Tyrell’s excitement faltered for a split second and his gaze narrowed. "You’re... not surprised."

She bit her lip.

"Leila."

His voice dropped, equal parts awe and suspicion. "What friend did you visit this morning?"

She sighed, reaching up to cradle his face. "Your boss. Eriq and I... we had a talk." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Tyrell eyes widened. "You went to him? For me?"

" I told you I wouldn’t let you lose your career". She whispered. "Not when you’ve worked so hard. Not when you deserve everything."

For a moment, he just stared at her, his expression unreadable. Then, with a rough exhale, he pulled her into a crushing embrace burying his face in her damp hair.

" You’re unreal ". He murmured, his voice thick with happiness.

Leila closed her eyes, holding him just as tightly.

They had fought.

And they had won.

And now?

Now, they had a vacation to look forward to.
