Chapter 10: Chapter 10

Xander looks at Jessica, and her bare chest is right in front of him, he can't afford to let his dad meet Jessica there, he is going to spit fire and right now, his dad might be mad at him, he is not going to show up here, if everything is perfect.

What do we do? Jessica asked.

Hurry, go inside the room. He said as he picked her things for her, she run into the room, and Xander try to adjust himself and pulled the door.

What takes you so long to open the door? Fred Rick said as soon as he walked into the condominium.

Oh please father, I had enough for today and your outburst is one thing I wouldn't want to add to it.

Fine, I will stop but what I will not take is to see that, Lee call off the wedding.

Father, you are something else, who calls off a wedding when the bride is nowhere in sight, and what makes you think, he is going to call off the wedding? Xander said as he drag the wine glass and sip on it.

Lee was complaining badly about your behavior at the military headquarters, you should watch your words whenever he is in front of you...

Fine, I wonder why I had to marry her when I don't love her. Rick punches his lips. Ouch!!! He held the side of his lips and spit out blood. Is this what you want? To see me drop dead, to see me marry someone that you and I know that I don't love?

That cheap blackmail of yours has no hold on me and you should know that, right now, you should go apologize to Lee and make yourself available for the research of Alexia.

I will. Xander said as he walked behind Rick.

You should tell that whore in your room that I will never accept her into my family. Xander stared at his father confused then trace his eyes only to see that his zipper is down and his shirt button was done randomly, he try to groom himself properly while Fred, his father used the door, and Jessica rush out of the room.

You should leave now.

Why? Jessica asked.

Just leave and don't come back for now, I will be the only one calling you.

Xander...

Stop it, Jessica, you have to leave, right now, the prime minister's daughter is missing and I am sure that, all eyes will be on me, so let's give each other space right now. She try to kiss him but he pushed her slightly. Go on now

Fine, I will leave. She dragged her stuff and leave while Xander grabbed his phone to apologize to Prime minister Lee for his rudeness.

Alexia was sitting down at the shelter watching the fire, the entire day was Silent, he didn't say anything much to her, the only time they had small conversation is when he offer her food and they are reducing their eating, so they don't end up hungry before the rescued teams show up.

During the day, Beck was busy making an SOS signal that stand for saving our ship, he build up massive sand to form something like a rock and uses wood to pierce the middle, and try using the stones to write on it. Since they can't use fire all-day

She moves her eyes to Beck that is throwing dry leaves into the fire but his thoughts are far from what he is doing, he is in deep thought, and his mind wandered to his grandfather that is the only family that he had, never had he felt broken, he wasn't thinking about himself but about his grandfather.

Are you okay? Alexia asked him, he move his gaze from the fire and nodded. I don't think so, I know you are worried, worried about your girlfriend. Beck smiled.

Why do you think the only thing, I am worrying about is my girlfriend? He asked her as he fold his leg and ogle more at her.

Of cause, what will you be thinking about? She asked childishly.

So you are saying that you are thinking about your boyfriend. She facepalm herself, Beck averted his gaze, he is not going to nurse feelings for someone that does have a boyfriend.

I do not have a boyfriend but...

Don't move. Beck said she looks at him surprised, and the sound of a chuff comes up.

What was that? She asked almost running, but Beck was fast, his speed was faster than hers but without sound, he turned pieces and tie her eyes, while he press her face to his chest. Don't try to remove the blindfold and climb on me. He whispered into her ear. Your legs should circle my waist, and your hand on my neck but not so tight, so I could breathe. Don't make any sounds, even when you hear sounds.

She nodded as she climbed on Beck's back and circle her legs around him, Beck moved slowly, as he gather those gaff he had made from wood, and also the bow and arrow, and then the penknife he found in the speedboat, he tried to calm himself those sound are nothing but that of a tiger, he needed to be at alert, it's a good thing, his soldiers' life had made him be able to detect an animal from its smell.

He hide behind a tree, and as he watch the tiger come into full view, he aim at the tiger, he was faster, and he kept shooting at it, a tiger was the family of a cat, and it doesn't die easily, it roars more in pain.

What is that? Alexia asked but Beck gave her no answer when he noticed that the tiger is running towards them, he climbed the tree fast, and the tiger wasn't able to climb as a result of his weight.

You should tell me what is going on. Alexia voiced out but the truth is Beck was too busy to tell her anything, when he saw that his arrows and gaff are finished, the only thing that came to his mind was to get down.

Hey beautiful, you should grab what I am guarding your hands to. He said as he move Alexia's hand, now she could feel a rough edge on her palm.

Please tell me, what is going on? Alexia's voice was soft.

Just hold on to the tree, you should make sure, to survive if I didn't make it. He said when he finally secure her on one of the branches of the same tree, then she could feel that he is no longer on the same tree with her because she heard the sound of another tree, as someone jumped on it.

Tell me what the fuck is going on. She shout pulling the blindness from her eyes, the sight she saw made her pass out
