You Belong with Me

Part Two - Chapter Ten: Tricking the Trickster

Heather smiled recovering from having her baby, she couldn’t believe that she was getting away with this; Cristiano would never have the child, while she still got the money.

Cristiano sat away from her as they waited for a social worker to come and make sure that all their paperwork was correct before he left with his son; he couldn’t wait to take the little boy home.

They didn’t have to wait long as the social worker stepped into the room, a friendly smile on her face; she was running a little late after her unexpected meeting.

“Olá I’m Jennifer… I’m your social worker,” the social worker said making Cristiano nod glancing at the clock; he wanted nothing more than to have Heather out of his life as quickly as possible.

Jennifer sighed pulling two sets of paperwork from her bag and quickly read through them, Heather smirked as she looked over at the footballer; he had no idea what lay in-store for him when he signed the paperwork.

“Everything seems to be in place… I need you both to sign this,” Jennifer said handing Heather the paper first, she smiled as Heather nodded her head and started to sign the paperwork that was required.

Cristiano watched Heather wondering what she was planning, he had an unsettled feeling in his stomach and he didn’t like it.

Jennifer smiled as Heather handed her the paperwork back, Jennifer quickly checked it over; she nodded before handing Cristiano a pen and then the paperwork.

Cristiano furrowed his brow watching her hand him a different piece of paperwork from Heather, who didn’t seem to notice the switch.

Cristiano quickly glanced through what he was signing before he did do and handed it back to Jennifer, who nodded her head making everything was in order.

“Okay then… that’s everything,” the social worker said making Heather’s smile deepen as she pulled out another piece of paperwork and connected it with the piece that Cristiano had signed before returning it to her bag.

Cristiano nodded as his lawyer stepped into the room with the cheque for $10 Million, the caseworker looked at the lawyer; everything was done and no one was none the wiser about what had just happened.

“I wish you both the best,” Jennifer said before walking out of the hospital room leaving the two alone, Cristiano watched as Heather pocketed the cheque; he was glad that this was finally over and that he could finally move on after everything that had happened.

Heather grinned looking at Cristiano as he prepared to leave, he had no idea that she had just stolen his child from him while she would walk away with the money.

“You know I can’t believe it worked out so well… I’m $10 Million richer and you still don’t have the baby,” Heather boasted making Cristiano stare at her, she smirked watching the pieces fall into place as he realised that she had tricked him.

Katia burst into the room where Alexa was hiding, she looked frazzled to say the least and like she wanted to kill somebody.

“Heather tricked Cristiano… she put the baby up for adoption,” Katia said making Alexa nod stare down at something in her arms; her plan had worked perfectly and no one knew about it.

Katia continued to rant about how evil Heather was before Alexa shushed her, the older woman glared at her before realising that Alexa wasn’t looking at her or even listening to what she was saying.

“Of course… you don’t care, without this child you have nothing to worry about,” Katia snapped at Alexa who looked at her.

Alexa rolled her eyes at Katia, until Heather had left the hospital then what she had done for Cristiano had to remain a secret and she didn’t want to risk a backlash from Heather.
