his contract girlfriend chapter 1

His contract Girlfriend chapter 9

Damian shows up at the Hospital

the hospital smelled like bleach and fear.

"Mrs. Okafor is coding!"

"nurse! paddles! Now!"

I was on my knees in the hallway. the #500k from Damian was gone. spent on drugs and test.

eviction was still on my door. and now my mom.

"3o minutes. I had #1,200 in my account.

my phone rang. unknown.

"please." I sobbed into it . "don't text me.

I can't..."

"Amara."

Damian.

"where are you?. he asked. voice Sharp.

"luth. my mom..."

"I'm 5 minutes away."

I didn't ask how he know. I didn't care.

4 minutes later the double doors . slammed open.

Damian. no suit. black T-shirt, Jean, and furry in his eyes.

behind him, two doctors and a BlackTech card.

"where is she?" he demanded.

"this way Sir."

I couldn't move. I just watched as he walked into her room and started talking. fast. money. names. "do the procedure. now. I'll pay double.

10 minutes later: beeping. stable.

the doctor came out. "she's going to be okay. .ms. Okafor. because of your husband."

"husband?" I blinked.

Damian was standing behind the doctor.

arms crossed.

he looked at me. tired. angry. relieved.

"can we talk?" he said.

Hospital Rooftop. 2am .

"you Left." he said. first words in an hour.

"you yelled at me."

"I was scared." he snapped. then softer: "I was scared that photo meant you were ashamed of me too."

I laughed. wet and broken."Ashamed of you? Damian I'm a waitress. you're..."

"you're the girl who told my mom off.

who handled 2m views. who sat in that board room and didn't cry "

he stepped closer.

"I don't care about that photo, Amara, I care that you didn't trust me enough to tell me.

"I was scared." I whispered. "of losing this. of you."

"then don't run next time."

he reached out and cupped my face. thumb wiping under my eyes.

no cameras. no contract. just him.

"I'm sorry." he said. "for the dinner. for making you feel small. for the rules."

"Damian..."

"the contract is still 30 days." he said. "but the kissing rule? the touching rule? burn them."

he leaned down .

and kissed me. slowly. real. like he meant it.

like he'd been thinking about it since chapter 3.

when he pulled back, he rested his forehead on mine.

"my mom needs me to bring a date to the gala in days." he murmured.

"will you come? As my real girlfriend!"

my heart was pounding.

"yes." I said.

his phone buzzed.

Adesuwa: you think saving her mom makes you a hero? wait till the gala.
