#Chapter4
Alexa
We walk side by side until we standing in front of the room that shows number 368. She gives me the card and I take it. /"Before you open it I just want to say that I did all this because I don't want you to live like this. I mean yea you will know what I meant.../" It's getting so weird why would she say like that?
I swipe the card and then open the door. I walk inside and my eyes widen in shock. I can't believe what I saw right now. My heart just broke in a million pieces. The shirtless Elijah and woman who seems like she's already naked beneath him. I look at Thea but she didn't look at me back and she just face the wall. I don't know what to say this is so unbelievable.
/"Elijah!/" I found myself shouted his name. I can feel my eyes already blurry because of tears. He looks shocked at first then his face becomes blank. He stood up and standing in front of me. I look at that woman who covered herself with the blanket.
/"I thought you were in London.../"
/"You already see me standing in front of you here./" He said and his face doesn't show any guilty.
/"Why? Why are you doing this to me?/" I ask and now my tears already rolling down my cheeks.
/"You want to know why? Because I don't love you anymore. I feel like this marriage was a huge mistake I've ever done in my life. I was thinking why would I have to be tied down so early when I still can enjoy myself with another woman./" He said. Then I slap him in his face. He looked shocked and then I can see the anger in his eyes.
/"Living with you is such a mistake you know that? So, I want you to pack your things from that house and leave. Don't ever thinks of coming back because my lawyer will give you the divorce paper./" He said and now I fell silent and surprised from what he said.
/"No... No.. You can't do this to me. I love you with all my heart, Elijah. Besides I'm pre-/"
/"I don't care. Just get lost from my life because I want to be free and enjoy my life./" He said and I can see that woman is smirking at me.
/"You! You're the one who makes my husband like this!! You bitch!/" I really want to slap and pull that bitch hair but Elijah stop me.
/"Alexa! You're not my wife anymore from now. Now, You and your pathetic friend can get lost from my sight because I don't want to see your face anymore./" I look at him hoping all this are a nightmare but no, this is real and I slap him again.
/"You're going to regret this Elijah. Sooner or later you'll regret this, I'm sure of that./" I said to him. His face shows anger cause I slapped him twice.
Thea pull me out from that room and bring me home to pack my things. /"Thea, why did he do this to me? I didn't do anything wrong to him. I love him, Thea./" She hugs me. /"I love him very much and now I'm pregnant with his child. What am I going to do now?/" I burst into tears.
/"I'm so sorry, Alexa. I need to show you the true color of your husband. I mean ex-husband from now. I don't want you to be like this. Please remember you still have your child with you and also you still have me. I'm your best friend. I won't leave you alone./" I wipe my tears and looks at her.
When we arrive at home, I went straight to the room and pack my clothes. I didn't take all of it cause I don't want to take the clothes that Elijah bought for me. I just take my clothes and left all the things that he bought me.
Just then the bell ring. Thea walks downstairs to check who it is while I still packing my clothes. /"Alexa../" I turned around and see Thea with one man I guess that's the lawyer that Elijah talked about.
/"Good afternoon Mrs. Perkins, I'm Harold. Mr. Perkins's lawyer and I are here to give you this./" He gives me like a file and I know what it is.
/"I'm no longer Mrs. Perkins. You can call me Alexa... He nodded and I take the file. I take it out the paper to see that Elijah already sign at his part, which means he already planned to divorce me before. This is going to end. My life is not perfect anymore. All of this will be memories and maybe it will disappear like a bubble in the sea. I finally gathered all my strength and sign it. Then give it back to Harold. /"Thank you, Alexa, I will get going now./" With that, he walks out and I flopped on the floor.
Thea runs to me and helps me to stand up. /"Thea, my life is gone./" I cry and she just patted my back to calm me down. /"You have to be strong. We can start a new life just three of us. You, me and your child./" I look at her and she smiles at me. I don't know what to say anymore but maybe what's Thea said was true. He's not the one for me. I need to be strong for this baby. This baby doesn't know anything and does anything wrong.
She helps me to pack up then finally we're done. I look around this room before going out. I left my wedding ring on the table and then walk out of the house. I have to be strong. I still have this baby. I keep that in my mind.
/"Alexa, I already booked the tickets for us to go to Los Angeles. It's tonight. Are you okay with it?/" I don't have any strength to talk so I just nodded my head.
I need to build a new life for me and my child. Goodbye Elijah. I will do as you say I will never appear in front of your face again. I will never wants you back after this.
