Claimed Her Back

[Lauv- I like me better.]

Alexa

My name is Alexa Johnson but that was before my marriage, now I am known as Alexa Perkins. I'm 20 years old and wife to one of the hottest bachelor in New York, Elijah Perkins. At the age of 23, he is owner of top two companies in the world that he has build with his hard work along with his father's companies.

Well let me cut the chase and tell you about how we first met.

*FLASHBACK*

The story begins from our college. When he was in his last year, I was student of first year. We had met once or twice but one incident changed everything.

Elijah appeared as a gentleman and saviour in my life. One day when I was crossing road to reach college, a car suddenly appeared on the road coming at me in the full speed.

I froze in shock as before crossing I had checked the road and it was clear to cross. But now I found my feet glued to the road and unable to move. All of a sudden I felt someone push me towards the side of the road. I had no serious injury but a scraped elbow. When I turned around to thank the person who saved me, I was shocked to see Elijah Perkins dusting his jeans. It was a shock to see him as we had zero interactions in our whole college life.

However, he bought me to a nearby clinic to get my elbow checked even after my instance to leave it be. I stood quietly as I had no idea of what to say or do. It was all awkward for me as 'HE' the crush of the whole college was standing in front of me, fussing over me. I guess any girl would have died for to be in my place right now.

After getting clear from the doctor, he dropped me home and asked for my number. Well after that we became close. After months of being friend he asked me out. Even though I knew about his playboy image, I still accepted his proposal as deep down I knew, I had feelings for him. It felt like love at first sight.

Our first date was very romantic and at the end of the day he asked me to be his girlfriend. I felt as if it was all a dream come true and replied with a yes. That was an unforgettable day. After that I fell in love with him a little by little everyday. I knew the feeling was mutual.

A month after our first date, Elijah graduated and had joined his fathers company. However, I was still trying to survive the end of my first year. We had no problem in meeting up. We usually went on dates every weekend. He was perfect in every sense; sweet, caring, and gentle, all that I ever wanted. He was the one to state his feelings first as I was scared to admit that I loved him for the fear of rejection. The day he confessed his love for me, I became happiest woman alive.

After 1 year of our dating, he proposed me to become his wife. I went in shock and realized after few seconds that he had proposed. I said yes with tears in my eyes. It was one of the most special day of my life. He made my life beautiful. However, Elijah didn't want to be engaged for long so we decided to get married after two weeks. I knew it was insane but heart wants what it wants, as Selena said. We had a grand wedding with more than thousands of guests.

The venue was very beautiful almost appearing magical with a theme of Ivory and Maroon colour. I had a white off shoulder sweet heart neckline gown with sleeves made of lace. The back of the gown was a corset style with a long train, I felt gorgeous wearing it. It truly felt like a dream come true after watching Elijah at the end of the altar.

We are just so happy with how our lives are going and hoping for kids in future.

*END OF FLASHBACK*

It has been two years into our married life, and I still cant get over the fact that I have been married for so long. Elijah has always been a soft, sweet, romantic and caring husband to me. The presence of spark between us can still be felt. This is what all I have ever dreamt of, all I need know is a baby in our life.

Alexa

I open my eyes to see my handsome husband is laying beside me. I smile at him and then kiss his cheek. He told me he loves me so many times when we make love last night and I was so happy to know that his feelings towards me doesn't even change until now.

I sit up an then look around to my clothes. When I see my clothes, wear it then walk to the bathroom. I take a shower for about ten minutes then walk put with towel wrap around my naked body. I walk to our walk in closet and pick the outfit for today. I just pick black leggings with white shirt. I just let my hair down and let it dry.

After I'm done, I look at the time and smile. It's enough time to make Elijah his breakfast. I tip toe to the door don't have any intention to wake him up yet. I walk downstairs and then got into the kitchen.

I decided to make his favorite breakfast which is pancakes. Well at first he doesn't like it this much but he said when he first time try mine, he totally in love with pancakes. I make it quickly because he might already wake up and ready to go work. After a few minutes, I'm done and I bring the plates to put it on the table. I choose to put nuttella, syrup and honey as topping.

I wait for him at the table. A moment later, I saw him walking sown in his Armani suit looking handsome as always. "Hey baby. Good morning." I walk to him and peck his lips. "Hmmm morning.." He said while adjusting his watch.

"I already make you pancakes. Let's go." I grab his hand but then I stop to know that he takes his hand back. "Why?" I ask.

"I need to be hurry because I have a meeting in 30 minutes." He said and just walk past me to the door. "But I already make it. Can't you at least eat it even if it only one bite?" I said in low tone.

"I never ask you to make it. You can't blame me.." I'm taken aback by his words. Why is he acting so harsh to me today?

"But-"

"Oh before I forget, I will go to London this evening for a few days. I don't know when will I'm back. So Yeah I need to go now." Before I could say anything, he get into his car and drive off. I stand there and look at his car slowly fading away. I sighed and prevent my tears to come out.

I walk inside the house and go to the dining room. I look at all the pancakes on the table. It's such a waste. I take a seat and start to take the pancakes and eat it. I eat and eat it. Maybe he just to busy with his work. I can't blame him though. I sighed. Just then my phone ring. I look at the caller and smile. It's my best friend Thea Morris.

"Hey girl.." I said. "Hey ummm can you please open the door right now?" I raised my eyebrows.

"Where are you?" I ask.

"In front of your house to be specific in front of your door." I immediately stand up and walk to the door. I open the door to see Thea grinning. I hang up then look at her.

"Why don't you just press the bell?" She walk inside then follow me to the dining room.

"Because I don't want to meet with your husband." She said and eat the pancakes normally.

Well you know, Thea never like Elijah like ever. I don't even know why. Every time they meet, they always end up arguing for something stupid. They just can't get along at all. Every best friend supposed to be happy if their best friend get married and be happy but not for Thea. She never approved Elijah since I met him. It just weird.

"I still can't understand why you didn't like him." I take a sip of my orange juice.

"Alexa, I just.... You know I just feel like he's not the one for you." She said.

"Thea, me and Elijah already married like two years and we're just fine. We both happy with our life. Why can't you be happy for me? I'm your best friend." She sighed and then look at me.

"I'm sorry Alexa. It's not like I don't like you being happy. It just he's not the one for you." I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion.

"What do you mean he's not the one for me?" I ask her.

"Alexa, all this time Elijah cheated on you behind your back." I am surprised when she said that.

"Thea! Why are you talking about? Why would him cheated behind my back?" My anger is up right now.

"I'm not lying. I saw with my own eyes. Please believe me. He's not a good man." I look at her disbelief. How can she said like that to my husband.

"I can't believe you Thea. Your my one and only best friend that I have. How can you accused my husband like that? Why can't you accept that I'm his WIFE! I didn't ask for anything Thea, I just ask for you to be happy for me. That's it! It's not that hard." I said and she look at me.

"Alexa, I'm being serious. I swear to you that I'm not lying. I saw him with another woman walk into the hotel. I swear. Believe me please." She hold my hands.

"I don't want to hear anything from you right now. I want you to get out from my house now." She really makes my anger boost.

"Ale-"

"OUT!!" I yelled. "Fine. But I will prove it that everything that I said is all true." With that she walk out and I heard the door being slammed so hard. I close my eyes and sit on the chair. I put my head in the table.

Why my only best friend act like that? I can't believe this. How can she accused Elijah cheated on me. There's no way he could go out with another woman. He just tell me that he loves me last night. That's the prove to show that he loves me.

Alexa

I'm pregnant.

The pregnancy test say it all. I'm pregnant. I can't believe this. I took it this morning and it's said that I'm pregnant. I took about three times and the three of it are positive. Finally me and Elijah will be a parents. Oh my god! I can't wait to tell him when he come back. I bet his reaction are priceless.

My life feel is more perfect now. We're finally will a parents! I smile and walk out from the bathroom and heading to bed. I take my phone to call Elijah because I want to ask when will he comes home. I really need to make a preparation before he comes home. I press the call and wait for him to pick up. It's goes to voicemail again. I frown at it but I just keep calling.

After three times I call him, finally he pick it up. "What?" I smile when I hear his voice.

"Hey baby, I miss you so much. It's been one week since you go to London." I said.

"What do you want?" He ask and his voice seems like he's in hurry.

"I just miss you, Elijah and I want to ask you when will you comeback?" I ask and my heart feel a bit hurt when he didn't ask if I'm okay or anything.

"Hmm okay. I don't know maybe next week or next month, don't wait for me. I need to go bye." Before I could say anything he just hang up on me. Maybe he's in hurry for his meeting. I can't blame him because it his work. He work hard for our family and I need to understand it.

I rub my tummy. "It's okay baby, I will find a way to tell your fahter." I smile then suddenly I heard the door bell being press. I stand up and go downstairs to look who it is. I open the door and it show Thea standing there with smile on her face.

"Hey Alexa." She greet me. "Hi." I said feeling weird because it's been one week since our last talk.

"Didn't you want to invite me in?" I step aside to let her in. We walk to the living room and sit on the couch.

"Well... I know you still mad at me. So I'm here to apology. I know I shouldn't said your husband like that. I'm sorry.." She look at me with regret face. I stand up from my seat and go sit beside her.

"You know, I'm sorry too because I kick you out just like that." I said and she pull me for a hug. I hug her back. I miss her so much to be honest.

"It's a suffer for me because I can't talk to you for one week. You know, you're my one and only best friend that I know." She said after we break apart the hug. I smile.

"I have something to tell you." Of course I would tell her. "What it is?" She ask.

"Okay... I'm pregnant." She look surprised then a smile appears on her face.

"Arghhhh! Oh my god! I'm going to an aunt." I chuckle at her reaction. Looking at her reaction like this, I'm thinking about how Elijah's reaction will be.

"When did you know that you're pregnant?"

"This morning." She hug me and then smile. "I'm happy for you, Alexa. I really am." She said. Just then, her phone ring.

"Wait a second." She stand up and go to the kitchen to take that call. Maybe that's important that's why she didn't want me to hear it. After a few minutes, she walk in with smile on her face.

"Sorry. Take a long time." She take a seat beside me again.

"Nah it's fine."

"Alexa let's go and have a lunch at the hotel today. We have to celebrate that you're pregnant. Let's go." She said and I raised me eyebrows. "What? Why are you looking at me like that?" She adds.

"Nothing haha. Okay I will change my clothes." She nodded her head and I walk upstairs to change.

I pick my baby blue jeans and white shirt to pair it with my nude pink cardigan. For my hair I just let it down. I just rake my hair with my hair to make it more neat. I put a mascara and lipstick. I don't like to wear my make up to much because I prefer to look more natural. I spray some perfume then take my handbag. I take my cream pump then I'm ready.

I go downstairs to see Thea already standing at the door. "Let's go." She open the door and we walk to her car. We talk and laugh on the way there. Its feel so good to hang out with my best friend. After a moment later, we finally arrive at the hotel to have our lunch.

"Alexa why don't we just stay here for one or maybe two days?" She ask when we walk inside the hotel.

"It's so spontaneous Thea, we don't have any spare clothes." I said and she chuckle.

"Pleaseeee.... I want to hang out with you. We can buy new clothes to wear." She pleaded.

"You know I can't say no to you when you did that. Fine..." I gave up. "Yes. Thank you." She swung her arms around my neck makes me choked.

"Th-Thea let me go." She immediately let me go and I take a breath. "Opss sorry hehe." She grab my arms to go to the counter.

"Hello welcome miss." The people at the counter greet us with sweet smile. "Hello. I'm Thea Morris..." I just stay quiet and wait for her.

"Oh Ms. Morris. It's room 368 at 10th floor." The woman at the counter said. I look at Thea and raised my eyebrows.

"Thank you." Thea said to that woman and then lead me to the lift. "Woah you already booked the room for us?" I ask and she just smile at me.

"Thea I'm sorry to ruin the mood but I need to this." She said as we walk inside the lift. "Why are you said like that? Is anything wrong?" I ask and she shake her head.

"Your my best friend and I want you to be happy. That's it." I just stay silent and wait until we arrived at the 10th floor.

Ding!

We walk side by side until we standing in front of the room that show 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..." It's getting so weird why would she said like that?

I swipe the card and then open the door. I walk inside and my eyes widen in shocked. I can't believe what I saw right now. My heart just broke in million pieces. The shirtless Elijah and woman who seems like she's already naked beneath him.

"Elijah!" I found myself shouted his name. I can feel my eyes already blurry because of tears. He look shocked at first then his face become blank. He stood up and standing in front of me. I look at that woman who covered herself with the balnket.

"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 did 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 anger in his eyes.

"Living with you is such a mistakes you know that? So, I want you to pack your things from that house and leave. Don't ever things 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 nightmare but no.

Thea pull me out from tat room and bring me home to pack my things. "Thea, why is he did that to me? I didn't do anything wrong to him. I love him, Thea." She hug me.

"I'm so sorry, Alexa. I need to show you how your husband did. 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 wipe my tears and then take my clothes.

Just then the bell ring. Thea walk downstairs to check who it is while me 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'm here to give you this." He give 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 our the paper to see that Elijah already sign at his part. This is going to be end. My life is not perfect anymore. All of this will be memories and maybe it will disappear like a bubbles in the sea. I finally gather all my strength and sign it. Then give it back to Harold. "Thank you Alexa, I will get going now." With that he walk out and I flopped on the floor.

Thea run to me and help 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 smile at me.

She help 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 from the house. I have to be strong. I still have this baby.

"Alexa, I already booked the tickets for us to go to Los Angeles. It's tonight. Are you okay with it?" I doesn'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.
