Go on and answer the question, what are you close to having? Lee asked pushing his hand through his daughter's long hair.
It's not bad to use one stone to kill two birds, I could get more training so I could look for Leah and I could also make Beck fall in love with me.
Alexia, you should stop it already, you shouldn't keep your hope high, that young man is not interested in women, I heard that he had never fallen in love and he is more of a rock, you know better than to try to break a rock and if I found out, you are throwing yourself at him, I promise that I will not think twice before dragging you out of this place.
Yes sir!!! Alexia salutes him, he titters and pecks his daughter's head.
What do you think about the young General?
I just told you, I love him.
Shut up, I am talking about the young man that just left here and not your, Mr handsome. Alexia tittered. So tell me, I could see that the young man is interested in you, don't you like him, he is as handsome as your Mr handsome and he is a soldier too, you don't have to move a stone before getting him, this could be better, he will be the one head over heels for you. If you like him, I could meet with his father, I am sure, he will like the idea of a marriage alliance between the two families. Alexia's face go sour, she could still remember Jessica's words, that she always get what she wanted because of her father's position. Did I say something wrong?
No dad but no, I don't want you to help me and I don't love him.
Fine, I will tell the field Marshall that you are in love with his grandson.
Father!!! Her voice came out loud in frustration, Lee look like his daughter.
Baby is there something you didn't tell us about the reason you called off the marriage for months, you have suspected Xander, your best friend, and your would-be husband for the disappearance of Leah and Jessica no longer comes to the house and I am sure that, she doesn't know you are here.
Dad, I am no longer a baby but an adult, I don't need friends and you don't expect me to still keep Xander friends after the humiliation I gave to him and his family, do you?
That is true, sorry, I just felt that, since they left you are...
The door revealed, the face of her two new friends, Tina and Gerald.
Good day sir!!! They said in unison.
Oh, dad, meet my two new friends, Tina and Gerald and you two meet my dad. They greeted again.
How are you?
We are fine sir!!! They said then rush to Alexia. Are you alright now? They inquire, Alexia winks at her dad.
You see dad, I don't need those two, cause I have to replace them
Fine, I go on now, I didn't tell your mom you passed out, I only said I wanted to see you, that I was missing you, you should know better that, if she found out, she will not think twice before pulling you out of this place.
Thanks, Dad, you should know I love you so much. She peck him and left while Alexia and her friends' gist and laughed since Alexia had a day off because of her health.
*****
Jessica and Xander haven't met for the longest time, he had practically avoided Jessica and Leah had gone missing, when she returns to the place where she had dumped Leah, he can't find her body, and since no one had brought up the case, it seems Leah must be gone for good.
What a waste, to think they kill someone for their secret to be saves, but the cat still left the bag.
It seems Xander's love for Jessica dies the very minute he watches her blabbing that nonsense to Alexia, he felt she is different from the woman he loves and wanted to do anything to have.
For months, she had tried to see him but to no avail, so she heard that he is having a meeting with a client, so she decided to meet him up since he refused to see her.
Right now, she sitting patiently waiting for Xander to finish his meeting when he is done, Xander walked slowly to her.
What do you want? What were Xander's first words to her? She rush to hug him but he stop her with his strong arm outstretched, Xander was standing, he was like a pillar, cold and his face is expressionless.
I am sorry, sorry I am the curse of...
Sorry? Are you sorry? Jessica, I had loved you, care for you, and protected you but what did you do? You throw everything right in my face, you throw my love in my face.
Xander, that isn't true, I love you that is the reason I did all those things, I know Alexia will get over you, she is already in love with the Gen, she was just forcing herself to be your wife. I didn't...
Jessica, let's forget about everything, let's forget all that but I am sorry, we can't be together, I don't love you anymore.
What?
Yes, I am sorry if I curse this fire in your heart and I am sorry if I did ruin your life, with my stupid love thing, maybe, I won't have started it, maybe, I won't have said those words in the first place.
You are not breaking up with me, are you? Xander chuckled, then turned to leave
Maybe, it's better, if we go our separate ways.
And Leah? Xander glared at her. Yes, Leah, you killed her, you and only you dispose of her body, so maybe, you will like to tell her family that, you know the where about of their missing daughter, I heard your love is in the military and she is there because she wants to be properly trained, so she could be able to look for the people behind the disappearance of her beloved cousin.
You make me Laughed, no evidence, no case.
Where did you get that idea? Of cause, they are always evidence to every one of my claims, maybe, we should see this, it's lovely and mind-blowing. The video of him dragging Leah into his car trunk after Alexia left and the vandalizing of Leah's car to avoid no trance and when he threw her away.
Jessica!!!
Yes, baby!!! She said running her hand on his shoulder, Xander pushed it away. If it was Alexia, she will never settle for blackmailing
What do you want?
