The Mafia Lord's Big Mistake

“Yeah." Damon answered Bonnie with a grin on his face.

"Happy birthday!” He exclaimed as Bonnie sat back down beside him.

“Awe, Damon! You're so sweet!” She squealed.

Realization seemed to dawn on him as he glanced at me, “Katie, I hope you don't mind me buying Bonnie a birthday cake? It's not a romantic gesture, it's just that we're so close.”

More whispers broke out amongst everyone and I was sure that they were saying that I was the other woman while Bonnie was the wife.

I drew in a deep breath and let it out as I replied, “Of course, I don't mind. You two are the closest people I know.”

Damon stayed quiet as he processed the sarcastic tone of my voice.

I remembered my birthday and how he left me all alone. He didn't even buy me a birthday cake, yet here he was buying one for Bonnie.

He has never bought me a five layered cake, he only bought the ones with one layer.

It was obvious how much he values Bonnie.

There was a time when I caught Damon talking to Bonnie on a video call. He was too engrossed into the video call that he had no idea that I've entered the room.

He was telling her how he wanted to relocate to Chicago just for them to be closer to each other.

Did he even try to consider whether I wanted to move or not?

I've been with Damon through thick and thin. He wasn't so rich when we first started dating; I would pay the bills from my Dad's inheritance while he struggled to put food table.

Where was Bonnie when he needed someone to lean on?

I was the one that soothed his pain and helped him when he needed it.

It seemed that he has forgotten all that I've done for him.

He only gave me attention when Bonnie wasn't available to talk with him.

I always came second to him, and she was always first.

Half an hour later, the party moved outside for the barbecue.

As Damon, Bonnie and I sat at our table, I noticed a helicopter flying in the sky and a large banner was tied to it.

The banner read, “Bonnie and Damon together forever."

Damon smiled as soon as he saw the banner, but then he glanced at me and his smile dropped as he grimaced.

“Katie, I- I just wanted to make Bonnie's birthday special." He muttered as he looked nervous.

"Okay.” I replied in a cold voice.

Bonnie laughed as she said, "It's just a banner, Katie. I'm sure that he made it for me because we're just so close.”

I felt humiliated and pained as the helicopter kept flying around with the banner.

Anyone that read that banner would think that they were a couple.

Was Damon trying to make a fool out of me?

Well, he didn't expect me to come along.

He has never done something like that for me.

Everyone was whispering and I could faintly hear what they were saying.

One of them, a woman, said, “Damon has to be the best boyfriend to do this kind of thing.”

I stood up and started walking away because I couldn't take it anymore.

“Katie!" Damon called as he ran over.

He stopped in front of me as he said, “Are you angry? Don't be. I'm not Bonnie's boyfriend, I'm your husband.”

“Okay." I muttered in a steady voice, trying not to let him see how much he hurt me.

His eyes widened in surprise at my reply and he asked again, “You're not angry?"

“I'm not, so don't worry about it." I answered him.

Confusion was evident on his face as he stared at me, but he didn't say anything and we walked to the car in silence.

Later that day, I was on the couch in the living room, reading a novel when Damon walked in.

He came to the couch and laid his head on my lap.
