A Sinful Affair

Chapter 1

Imani's pov

"Happy birthday to you, Damian
Happy birthday to you"

I watched as the rich people sang to my mom's boyfriend, Damian. Well done DP you have managed to last 5years in my mother's life. They had met at some lavish event where my mom was working as a waitress, I was sixteen by then. My mom says it was love at first sight. The only reason I'm here is because my mom said it would be rude if I didn't show up and so here I am bored as fuck drowning myself in expensive champagne and the only thing that has seemed to distract me from the boredom that is this is event is the pair of grey eyes that keep looking at me as if its trying to see through me and like the stubborn child I am I keep looking back at them and I'm all hot for this guy he looks to be around my mom's age and yes it's messed up but eyy this man is a fine man. I bet women be dropping panties at the snap of his fingers. A tap on my shoulder snaps me out of the staring competition and it's my mom.

"Damian, has an announcement to make and he says he also wants you up front" she says

"Do I really have to like can't he just have his speech whilst I'm back here, away from the crowd and the attention" I say hoping she would let me slide like she always does but not this time,"Imani, please it's his birthday and he wants you upfront which means he cares about you so please just put your stubbornness aside and come up, young lady" she said as she walked away now let me tell you something I have learnt for the 21years I been on earth, when my mom calls me young lady she aint playing no more so yah Im gonna go up and see what the announcement is about. Throwing my last glare at the pair of grey eyes the guy throws me wink and a sly side smirk.

I get up and Damian stands up whilst clinking his wine glass and getting the guests' attention."Thank you all so much for coming I appreciate it and all the gifts but right now I would like to try and give myself a birthday gift"

He turns and looks at my mom and I and gestures us to come up front where he stood and we did so."So 5years ago I met this beautiful woman at an event and we talked and ever since then she has been my best friend and her daughter has been nothing short of mine they have been my life and I have given my all to them as they have to me and I feel that I owe everything good that has come to me to both of them and I love them both so very much" I just stand next to my mother smiling like stupid clown like I don't see why this needed me to be up here.

"So earlier this morning, Aminat gave me the best birthday present anyone could ever give me...We are gonna have a baby" The guests awww as they hug Damian and my mom and congratulate them and I just stood them dumbfounded and watched as all my emotions came to one thought why did she never tell me. I was her best friend before Damian but now it's like I didn't exist anymore ever since Damian came she just put me in the shadows and now there's gonna be a baby of course her and Damian will have a bond... But what about me, I'm not his daughter so what will come of me.

"But, even though that the best gift I will ever get I was actually thinking maybe this year I would get a wife as a gift" Damian said as he went on his knees and took out a diamond ring and there she was nodding yes as tears escaped her brown eyes as Damian slipped the ring on her finger. And there I was in tears and certainly not tears of joy. I couldn't even fake a smile so as the guests swamped my mom and Damian I took that as a chance and just exited the room. I need some air to breathe and be alone.

"Imani" my mom called as she tried to catch up to me,"Please wait" she said.

"Dont come any closer" I said as I held up my hand and she stopped in her tracks."How long?" I asked.

"What do you mean how long, baby?"she said confusion written all over her face.
"No, mama don't act confused how long have you know you were pregnant?" I said as my tears finally came out.
