Chapter 6

ALEXA

"Good afternoon Mrs. Perkins, I'm Harold. Mr. Perkins's lawyer and I am 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 earlier than I thought. 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. This case will take a quite some time for the court to process. After everything settle, I will let your lawyer know. 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, I think half of 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 nothing wrong.

“Listen, there are plenty of man that much better that a scum bag Elijah Perkins. Forget about him. He throws you like you don’t have a fucking dignity. He don’t deserve you at all. You are better than this and I hope he will suffer after he realize for what he did to you today.”

“I don’t know. I feel this is all like a bad dream and I want to wake up from this dream,” Elijah was my first love. It is hard to forget all of our memories just like that. It is very suffering.

“This is not a dream, Alexa. You need to face the reality. I know this is very hard for you but trust me once you gain back your strength, you will realize that you better off of him,” She said.

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.

"Oh, umm… 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. “Cool, the faster we go from here the better,”

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 want you back after this. Even if one day you might come and crawl back saying that you want me back, I won’t even look at you just how I used to. I don’t want to have anything to do with you anymore.

....

ELIJAH

I'm getting ready to go to work right now. I look at the mirror to see if my appearance is presentable. I spray some cologne then wear my Rolex. I walk out from the walk-in closet and then take my phone on the nightstand.

I dialled Martha, my new maid after I got divorced from Alexa. We never hired a maid before this because Alexa said she wanted to do all the chores by herself since she was a fulltime housewife and I agreed with it and now, I need a new maid since there is no one to take care of this house.

"Mr. Perkins." She picks it up after one ring.

"Martha, when you arrive, I want you to take all this woman clothes in my closet and throw or burn it away or maybe you can take it if you want. That's it." With that, I hang up the phone.

I'm free now, so I don't want any woman's things in my house. Right now, I can go out with any woman that I want without no one stopping me.

Being in a relationship was fun but I'm the one who got bored so easily and about my relationship with Alexa, I myself was quite shocked cause I actually stay loyal to one girl for almost three years.

She was fun but looking at her face every day makes me sometimes felt bored. I need some new chicks by my side to make my life more fun. I won’t be in this age and have fun like this. Enjoy the young age while we can.

I walk out of the house and got into my car, black Jaguar. I drive to my company. I give my car keys to the chauffeur and walk inside.

I already got used to being centre of the attention so I just walk straight to my private elevator because I don't like to get into the same lift with the number of people. I need to show them that I'm their boss that they need to respect.

"Good morning Mr. Perkins. They already waiting for you in the meeting room sir." My secretary said and I just nodded at her then heading to the meeting room.

To be honest, I hate morning meeting. When I walk into the room, everyone standing to show some respect to me. It's not a board meeting it just the manager from the every department in this building and all.

Then we start the meeting as soon as I take a seat.

The meeting takes about two hours and now I'm in my office doing my work. It's a good thing that my other meeting is in three hours. I take a look at the files of my new project in Milan until my office door open.

I want to be mad if that was my secretary but no it's my best friend, Joseph Sanchez. He walks in and sits on the couch.

"What’s bring you here?" I ask him and he just smirks in reply.

Joseph is my best friend since we both in high school. Back there I used to have lots of friends but all of them ended up staying away from me because of my arrogant and egoistic attitude.

Joseph was the one who stays by my side and bears with my attitude until now.

"Why don't we go and have fun tonight. At the club? It's been a while man. Let’s celebrate you for being single again. It feels good isn’t it?" He asks and I put my pen down then walk to the couch across him.

"It is feel good but I'm not in the mood, Joseph.. I have a lot of works and I might get really tired. I just want to rest tonight." I lean my head to the couch and close my eyes.

"Oh really? Or maybe you already feel regret that you got divorced with Alexa? Who knows... Ha!" I just stay silent.

"You still love her, don't you? Well of course you are. I don't even know why you cheated on her and divorced her."
