his contract Girlfriend chapter 3

The birthday dinner from hell

The BlackTech Tower looked like it was made of glass and judgement.

I stood at the entrance in the only black dress I owned. #8,000 from yanga market. it was tight. but it would do.

Damian was already waiting in his car.

"you look..." he paused. scanning me.

"... acceptable."

"wow . thanks." I muttered.

the moment we walked in. 200 eyes turned to us . gold chandeliers. waiters with wine. women in gowns that cost more than my yearly rent. and at the center. a woman in red.

Mrs. Victoria Black.

Damian's Mom.

she looked me up and down like I was trash on her floor.

"so." she said, voice loud enough for everyone to hear. "this is her?"

Damian's arm was around my waist. for the act.

"Mom. this is Amara. my girlfriend."

Amara. he said my name like he meant it.

I smiled and stretched my hand.

Happy birthday ma. it's an honor to."

she cut me off.

"Honor?" she laughed. "Darling. girls like you don't belong at birthday dinner. you belong in the kitchen. serving.

the room went quiet.

my face burned. #2 million or not, that was humiliation.

Damian's jaw clenched.

"Mom." he said. voice dangerous.

"Watch it "

"Watch what?" Mrs. Black sipped her wine. "I'm just saying. what do you even do, dear? Besides... Chase my son?

that was it.

I pulled my shoulder back. my mom taught me one thing: never let people make you feel small.

"Actually ma." I said. smiling sweetly . " I work two jobs. one to pay my rent, and one to pay for my mom's hospital bill. so yes. I know how to serve. I also know how to work hard.

something money can't buy."

Gasp.

Damian looked at me. shock. then.. the corner of his mouth twitched Almost a smile.

Mrs. Black's face turned red. "how dare you"

"dinner is served." Damian cut in, squeezing

"come Amara."

As we walked away. his thumb brushed over my knuckles.

Accident had to be.

But for a second. it didn't feel like acting.

then my phone buzzed in my clutch.

unknown number: I saw you with him.

you have no idea who you're messing with his ex.

and she was already here.
