24 year old Heather McGillion said she was devastated to
discover her partner Adonis Rodriguez , 21, had married another woman while she
was giving birth to their son. She discovered the shocking news when a friend
sent her a loved-up wedding photo of Adonis and his new wife, a German tourist
called Julia. Heather said she met Adonis while were both working as
entertainers at a hotel in the Dominican Republic and fell pregnant a year
later.
She returned home to give birth after experiencing
complications, but while she was in labour, Adonis tied the knot with Julia. He
later admitted to Heather that he had married Julia and has said he is sorry.
She has returned to the Caribbean Island, where her mother lives, so that her
son can have a relationship with his father.
Heather, a trained dancer, said: 'When I opened the message
it felt like I had been hit by a double-decker bus. Adonis had his arms around
a woman and she was wearing a wedding dress. It didn't make sense and the more
I thought about it, the more absurd it was.We had only been apart for a few
weeks and there was no way Adonis could have met another woman and arranged a
wedding in less than a month.'
'For a second I didn't twig who it was. Then to my horror I
realised it was Julia,' she recalled.
'She was a German tourist who came to stay at the hotel.
About a year before I had noticed Adonis had become friends with her on
Facebook and they had been messaging each other.
'It was nothing sexual but it made me feel uneasy. But
Adonis assured me there was nothing going on and when I discovered I was
pregnant I forgot all about it.'
When Heather called Adonis to confront him about he admitted
everything.
She also noticed in the wedding photos that Julia, 31, had
undergone a radical makeover.
She added: 'She was unrecognisable from the slightly plump,
mousy woman I had seen on Adonis's Facebook page.
'In fact she now looked like me. She had lost weight and
dyed her hair to look just like me, only with added wrinkles.
'When I phoned Adonis and asked "Why is Julia in a
wedding dress?", there was a pause and then he said: "Heather, I'm so
sorry". I hung up and burst into tears.'
Heather later discovered that after Adonis had moved to
another hotel to find work, he had been meeting up with Julia.
She had travelled to visit him around four times and they
planned the wedding to take place while she was back in the UK.
Heather has returned to the Dominican Republic with Diego,
who is now three months old, and is allowing Adonis to visit him.
She said: 'My mum has retired here so I have come out again
with my son.
'Despite everything, I want Diego to have a father so Adonis
is in regular contact with him but it's very hard.
'I feel so foolish for trusting Adonis but I keep telling
myself there were no warning signs.
