Chapter 12: Chapter 12

Hey! Xander said, as he appear in front of Jesse, in the military headquarters.

What do you want now? Jesse said as he grabbed his gun, to leave.

Hey man, relax, you should know that I was only tense, it's painful to realize that, your bride went missing at your wedding and you fucking have no idea, if she is safe and when she is coming back? If she is well or in danger or pain, you should understand me, I am getting frustrated and the thing is eating deep into me.

Jesse look at him; he wasn't used to having conversations with someone that is not his friend, and the man in front of him is not one, he could call his friend, and even if he is going to make a friendship out of someone, he is not going to make one, with this rude fellow in front of him. It's fine, you have nothing to worry about, and your bride-to-be is in safe hands, if she is with him be reassured, she will come back in peace.

What is the possibility that she is with him? Xander turned as May, pull the door open.

Sorry, I didn't know you have a visitor.

Oh, May, you should come over here, sir Xander, need to know the possibility that his bride-to-be is with Beck.

Oh! May said as she take her seat, in midst of the two. Having her tied to himself or him hugging her tightly. Xander's face goes sour, with the possibility that Beck and his bride will be together and the possibility that that are together because he had hugged or tied her to himself.

You have nothing to be worried about, General Beck is not a man that goes after women, and for the record, he had never been in love before, so be assured that nothing will happen to your bride. Jesse said as he noticed that the words of May didn't go well with Xander and his face is all sour from the information.

What kind of a man, is he? Xander asked. Oh, apart from him being a soldier, he is a caring man, and a selfless man, he could do anything to protect anyone, he cares for and his life is not important, he is always thinking of the welfare of others, his interest is always second, that is the reason we all call him the most reliable soldiers.

Although Field Marshall, doesn't want him to become a soldier, he did because he wants to serve his father's land...

Field Marshall is related to him? Xander asked, although he was there when the prime minister and field Marshall is having a conversation the previous day, his stupid behavior didn't make him listen.

Yes, he is the grandson of Field Marshall but not to worry, he is a good soldier, he did follow all the procedures of becoming a soldier, he is brave and he is the only one that could protect your fiancee and keep her save

He looks at Jesse that is explaining details of the man, that is with his bride, for some reason he felt uneasy about it, although Alexia had never been close to any male apart from him, General Beck is the second male figure that Alexia could be close to, the possibility that she might become close to him, is very high but he just hopes that Alexia doesn't start to develop feelings for the General, he will admit that the General is handsome and could be an ideal man for his love.

Are you...

Yes, I am fine. He interrupts him. I just want to know how the search is going on. He said, Jesse and May gave him details of their reach and the number of the island they had searched, after much explanation he left them but May fine him queer. May look at Jesse after Xander walked through the door.

Why do I feel that there is something wrong with that young man? May said, Jesse, look at her. Didn't you notice his facial expressions change when I said that his bride might be with Beck?

Don't blame him, you should know that any woman that is with Beck must fall in love with him.

Jesse!!! May yelled as Jesse raised his hand in surrender. Sometimes, your jokes are deadly.

But it's the truth, Beck is contagious, and every woman that comes close to him gets inflected with him and falls heels over him, without him flirting with them. May look at him, his words were full of humor but it's the truth, no woman will come closer to him that wouldn't fall in love with him, and she is one of those women and then the thought of Beck falling in love with this lady for the first in his life, come to her mine, she pushed it away, she really doesn't want Beck to fall for any other woman, what if he does? There is nothing she could do.

Emily Lee had finally come back from the hospital, and Ethan Lee assist her to the couch.

What will you eat? Ethan asked, although he is the prime minister, he is not just a leader but a good father and a husband.

Is there good news? Emily asked holding her husband's hand, he look at her. He looks at his phone, he just get off the phone with the Field Marshall from the military base, to ask about the status of the search for Beck and Alexia.

Ethan let out a heaved sigh and sit beside his wife, he takes her hand while tapping her back palm with his other hand. Hon, there is still no news, although it's sad that right now, our daughter is not with us, let's assume she is on her honeymoon, remember those outdoor activities that, Alexia always dreamed of doing those activities with her loved ones...

But sweetheart, it's not like our daughter is with Xander and she is missing...

It's the same thing, she is with someone there, the field Marshall reassured me that, he is sure, his grandson will not let any harm come to her, so please relax, let me get you what to eat, not to worry, it's my treat

Emily nodded, she was hoping that her daughter is safe and will walk throw that door safely. How is Xander doing? I hope he is fine, I really want to see him. I am sure, he must be miserable with the things going on right now.

Hon, you should be calm, he will be fine.

No, I want to see him, I want to care for him, I know his father wouldn't have the time to be with him, I am a mother and I understand that he is hurting and you know our daughter if she founds out that, we neglected Xander, she will not be happy with us, so hon, let me go care for him.

But...

Please!!! She gives her husband pleading eyes, Ethan Knows how pushy his wife is, so he decided to let her if that will give her joy.

Jessica is at Xander's condominium when he returns from the military headquarters.

I have told you not to come over here, we have a lot of problems now. Xander said as he fall to the couch.

Come on, no one will come here and I noticed that, you have not been eating well, so I decided to come cook for you. Jessica said, Xander looks at her, he needed someone to talk to, he needed to clear his thoughts from all the stress of life.

Stop worrying yourself, I am sure, they will see her... The sound of the doorbell startled them, Jessica's eyes widened when she saw the person at the door, it was no other than Alexia's mother.

Who is that? Xander asked.

Alexia's mom, when did she leave the hospital?
