The Proposal

Chapter Twenty-Three: The Break Up

Cristiano sighed as he finished training, having showered he was more than eager to head home to his fiancée who would hopefully be waiting for him; in the five months since his engagement to Sophia, he had changed for the better.

Approaching his Audi R8, however, Cristiano couldn’t help but frown when he saw Anastasia waiting for him; she smirked as he slowly approached her knowing that this couldn’t be good.

“Cristiano,” she said making Cristiano glare at her as he placed his training bag into the back of the car, Anastasia smiled at him seductively; she knew that this would work perfectly since the footballer had no reason to doubt her.

“I’ve missed you,” she said as he approached the driver’s side door which she was leaning on, Cristiano sighed and frowned; he wanted the Russian model gone since he wanted nothing more than to head home to Sophia and his son.

“What can I do for you?” the footballer asked stiffly not wanting to really talk to her; Anastasia smiled and moved closer to Cristiano, she knew that she had to work quickly if she wanted to bring an end to his relationship with Sophia.

The Russian model was offering him one last chance to change his mind and choose her; if he didn’t then she was more than prepared to go through with her plan.

“I wanted to see you,” she said as she stepped towards him, Cristiano stepped back keeping a decent distance between him and Anastasia, who frowned; she didn’t know why he was resisting her now especially when months ago he couldn’t keep his hands off of her.

“I’ve told you before Anastasia… I love Sophia, I am going to marry her,” he said making the blonde purse her lips as she took in what he had said; she stepped away from Cristiano’s car and allowed him to open the door; she watched him before she moved close again.

“Be careful… she’s not all she seems,” Anastasia warned him as she faked concern, she knew that Sophia would never hurt Cristiano and that was what Daniel was for; the model had a feeling that the footballer would be a jealous man.

She watched him for a moment before she turned and walked away, she had given him the finally offering and now that he had refused her; he was going to destroy his own relationship.

Cristiano watched her and shook his head; he decided to ignore what she had said, he knew Sophia better than anyone and she wasn’t the sort to mess with people.

Daniel sighed as he waited for Anastasia, he wasn’t sure if he could continue with his mission; Sophia was a lovely person and she didn’t deserve what was about to happen.

Across from Daniel sat Stefan, who Anastasia had hired to cover the break up between Sophia and Cristiano, though she had ensured he didn’t know the true purpose of her plan; the PR agent was nothing but collateral damage to her.

The two of them sat in silence, waiting for Anastasia to return from her last attempt at swaying Cristiano; they didn’t have to wait long until they spotted the angry looking blonde as she entered the room.

“How did it go?” Stefan asked taking a sip of his drink, Daniel watched as Anastasia slammed her jacket onto the table; she couldn’t believe that she was being tossed a side for a nanny.

She glared at Stefan who flinched as she started to curse Sophia in Russian; Daniel sighed and waited for her rant to run its course as they all seemed to do, he knew that she wouldn’t be happy until she had what she wanted.
