Chapter 19: Chapter 19

How is that your business? Jessica asked.

I am concerned, what if he is using her to satisfy his sexual urges right now? What if he is molesting her? Jessica, look at him, she knows Xander more than anyone, what Xander is feeling right now, is jealous, not concerned, he is jealous that Beck might have kissed Alexia and one thing he hates is to share.

Is that it? Jessica asked.

What else are you expecting? That I love her?

Liar! His inner self scolds him as he takes the last part, he loves Alexia but not as much as he loves the silly thing beside him, he had started developing feelings for Alexia before the marriage, and away from her seems to bring back some strong love into his heart for her, what is he expecting, stay with someone for long always build an untold feeling in their heart for each other not to talk of the fact, they were friends before.

No! I know you don't love her. Jessica finally said but she two is doubting her words, back then she will say Xander had no feelings for her without blinking but now, she can't tap her chest what is she to him if he starts developing feelings for Alexia, his father's choice? You should drop me off. Jessica said he looks at her.

Stop already, you said you are coming to my place, so let's go.

I thought you don't like that? Jessica asked, he sighed as his grip became stronger on the steering, right now, so many thoughts are flying into his head, what if he just forgets about his father's whole plans and focuses on the woman he loves, instead of building feelings for Alexia? Jessica knew so many things are run into that head of Xander, but he just doesn't want to say, he pushed the thought from his head, he shouldn't give Jessica false hope that they could be together.

Let's go to the headquarters. Xander said turning his car, he moves straight to the military headquarters, he was the first to get out of the car and pulled the door for Jessica.

Why is he here again? May asked Jesse, the two are always together, they have finished searching for the signal.

Jesse shrugged and then sip on his drink. Have you heard of the words before, you should keep your friends close while your enemies are closer?

Is his enemies here? May asked innocently, Jesse look at her.

Beck, General Beck is his enemy. May wanted to ask for clarification, but Xander's voice came up.

Hi, is it possible for us to have little chitchat? Jesse nodded, as he leads the way with the two women In front of them.

I just want to check the update of my wife and General Beck, how is it going? Now he used the word wife, which shows, he is marking his territory, Jesse smiled inwardly, he must have formed ideas on this innocent young man's head but is Xander innocent?

Oh, still no update yet, we are waiting for the autopsy result of the young lady that her body was found, her face is damaged and some parts of her body missing probably as a result of excess staying in the water or maybe the shark has feasted on her.

What? Xander yelled, causing Jessica to hold her hand, Jesse's eyes didn't leave that hand, he is a man when he sees some closeness between a man and a woman, he could detect that, it's more than just friends.

I think we should go ahead, if there is any more information, we just get it from the Prime minister.

Sure but not to worry, I don't think, she is the one, the ocean is a big place and Alexia is not the only female there. Jesse reassured them, Xander didn't say anything more, he walked out of the office, and May looked at Jesse.

Why do I feel he is troubled? May asked.

Of course, he is troubled, and I also think, the young woman beside him, is his girlfriend.

Jesse, there you go again, she should have become a psychologist instead of going to war every now and then

Being a soldier is always my dream and will always be my dream.

Hm! Why do I see you complaining every time, Beck assigned you to go to war?

Don't be mean. His phone rang. Come on, we should go, the results are out.

Really?

Yes, so let's go.

****

Jesse and May were right now at the field Marshall's office, he looks at them, lieutenant Mark, just confirmed that the body was for some random citizen of the other country, Field Marshall's face was bright with a sweet smile, and he wasn't able to control his joy that he let it out. Wonderful! Thank God!

He dismissed them, he is happy that the possibility of seeing his grandson and the minister's daughter is high, and he is sure, they will found them soon, soon his grandson will be with him and everything will be normal, as soon as he grandson returns, he is going to force him into retiring or maybe nominated him for the post of Field Marshall, but his grandson is stubborn, he might still want to lead other soldiers to war even when he becomes a field, Marshall.

For now, he should think of getting his grandson back. He places a call to those in the control room, they need to put in more effort, yes, he needs his grandson back in good health and one peace.

Although he hasn't seen them but knowing that none of the corpses are of them, gave him peace and the high possibility that, they will return, knowing the kind of Soldier his grandson is, gave him complete reassurance that, they will return.

Soon, I will be with your grandson.

****

Ashley, you sit here all day and drink away your life, when are you going to get a hold of yourself? Sara reprimanded Ashley.

Stop it mother, you know I can't concentrate, I just keep having nightmares about that stupid girl called Alexia.

Hm! You shouldn't let your dad hear about this, and don't forget Beck must protect his country and nothing else come before his country.

Mom, that is bullshit, I can't wait to make him mine and asked him to retire. Sara laughs at her daughter's words. What's funny?

You daughter, you are funny. You should know, Beck will not see you more than a sister, you will always remain his sister and sister that is what you are.

Mother!

Yes, so stop loving someone that can never be in love with you, Beck is a cold man, he is the opposite of his father and grandpa, those two get married, before twenty, and he is already more than that, but he is still very much single, I heard that the girl with him is beautiful...

Mom stop it, she is getting married to one Xander Rick, and I am sure, they must be in love because they are childhood friends.

Did you checked on them? Sara asked in frustration.

Yes, do you think, I will let some stranger take my Beck from me? Sara looks at her daughter, that is so obsessed with Beck, the reason, she loves Beck is one thing, Sara can't figure out, and she is sure, that Beck will never love Ashley.
