Shivangi POV
I watched from the window as Nala fulfilled her part of the plan. See, my mom bought up an idea of adoption. And once I relayed the message in my head, I came up with a plan. We needed Nala's mother to sign the papers and hand over all of Denala's documents. Unfortunately, there's no easy way to do this.
So, I sent Nala in to act like she wanted to reconcile with her mother. This way, it'd be easier to drug her and make her sign Nala over. Her mother won't think anything of it, my plan is full proof.
Nala poured some heavy liquor into a glass and slid it over to her mother to drink. Naive to our plan, she reluctantly took the drink and downed it. When her mom got up and walked away, I sent the signal for Nala to pour up some more but this time, put the pill in there and make sure it's not noticeable.
Her mom came back into view just as she finished stirring the drink. They both sat down at the bar, Nala looked to me for the next move. I gave her a thumbs up, got down off the ledge and free fell into some bushes. "Shit!"I murmured, getting up and dusting myself off.
"Hey!"Someone yelled, making me look back. The man came closer.
"You're Cardi B's daughter!"He exclaimed. "Yes I am,"I replied, calming myself down. I thought he was going to try to call me out on something.
"Can I get a picture?"
"Uh, I'm kinda busy right now."
"Come on! Take a picture with me! Or, were you lurking on Ms.Tanjers property?"
"Where's your camera?"
He pulled his phone out and forced me to take two pictures with him before going away. I made sure he was out of sight then went into the building. The front door to the apartment was cracked for this very reason, I stepped in and quietly shut it.
"My throats burning!"Her mother yelled. "Maybe you should go lay down, I'll get you some water."Nala responded. I ducked behind the couch and started to crawl into the kitchen as they walked out. Denala came back into the kitchen just as I stood up.
"The papers?"She asked. I could tell her heart was beating quicker than usual. "Right here."I whispered, pulling a stack of papers from the inside of my jacket.
"Her signature needs to look exactly like this."She handed me the small sheet. I examined the signature, grabbed a pen from the counter and went into the bedroom to see Ms.Tanjers passed out. While Nala was fishing through her mother's things, I was getting these papers filled out.
I slid the pen into her mothers hand, cupped her hand in mine and dragged her hand and pen against the paper to create her signature. After signing all of the papers, I slid them back in my jacket.
"You got the documents?"I asked.
"Most of them. I just can't find my birth certificate."
"What you mean you can't find it?"
"She usually keeps it in here but it's not here."She continued to look through the drawer and I helped her by opening another drawer and looking with her.
"Is this it?"I asked after five minutes of silence between us. "Yeah."She took it from me and looked at it. "Now let's get out of here before that bastard gets back." We left the apartment and made our way back to the car.
I drove ya back to the house and we sat in the car making sure we had all of the necessary items for my mother to take to court tomorrow.
"Wait, why does your birth certificate say November thirtieth, 2000? You told me your birthday was September eighteenth, 2002."I questioned.
"Because that's what I was told. Lemme see that."She took the certificate out of my hand and looked at it. I leaned over so we could look at it together.
"And Denala Tanjer isn't even your real name! Says here that you were born Jessica Amber Wilson."
"I-I've been living a lie!"
Jeremiah POV
"I'll get it!"I shouted, jumping up from the couch. We're having a family night, binge watching movies in the living room.
I made my way over to the front door and opened it to see a middle aged woman on the other side. "Colten baby, you've grown up!"The woman pulled me into a hug. I'm beyond confused. I don't know who this person is...
I tried to push her off of me but she wouldn't let go.
"Whose at the door baby?"My mom asked. I heard the tv go mute.
"I come to retrieve my son."The lady stepped forward, holding my hand.
"I'm not your son!"I jerked away from her and went to sit back down on the couch by Jordan.
"Where's my son? Colten!"
"I'm Colten."My little brother stood up and the lady started to walk over to him with a huge smile. He dodged her hug and got closer to Mom.
"You're not my mother. This is my mom right here."He told her.
Her smile faded.
"You need to leave!"Mama spoke up.
"I don't want to start any problems. I just want my son back."
"What's going on?"Jordan whispered to me. I shrugged.
"I'm not your son! I don't even know you!"Colten belted out. Dad came from the hallway restroom with a confused look on his face.
"The fuck are you doing in my house? Who let you in?"He questioned.
"Technically, I didn't let her in. She barged in."I answered.
"You gotta go."
"I just want my son."She cried.
"You don't deserve him! Fuck off!"Dad snatched the woman up by her arm and slung her out the front door. He slammed the door shut and came back over to us.
"Let's finish our movie."
