One night with the Prince 50 Waiting for the DNA result.

Alexa was exhausted by the time the dinner was over, never in her whole life had she ever encounter people like First Lady Dianne and Jane Si. She couldn't wait to get back to her room so she could think of how she's going to deal with them in the future. She knew they would never let her be, and they would make her life a living hell as long as she stays in the White House within their eyesight, time to think of a plan and implement it asap.

Alexa knew she only has one solution to her dilemma, and she would wait for the DNA result to make sure she is who she is, then she would go as far away from them as she can. Life as the first daughter is not on her forte, and she would rather be just plain jane-Alexa and make it on her own.

If somewhere along the line, her father the President would like to fave the way, why not... But she would stay away from limelight if she could help it, that's her plan and sticking to it.

Ria, Lucas, and Logan were all standing by waiting for Alexa as she came out of the dining room looking all haggard and about ready to pass out.

"Golly, I never had such a night of my life, only to have suffered from the hand of the devil incarnated," Alexa complained to the trio as they walked back toward her room in a slow pace.

Ria was going to say something but decided to hold her tongue, and she didn't want to upset Alexa more than what she already is, the poor girl looks like a walking corpse and as white as a ghost.

Lucas and Logan felt terribly at the sight of Alexa, and they had just met her but, they already felt connected to her, maybe because they remind her of their younger sister Lea and her best friend, Ann.

The twins didn't say a word either and continued following their charge towards her room, but deep inside their mind, they would also do everything in their power to protect her at all cost.

Slowly but surely, the made to Alexa's room without delay, Lucas and Logan went back to their post standing guard at the door, while Ria opened the door for Alexa to enter.

Alexa gave the twins a half smile "thank you" before going into the sanctuary of her room. Once she enters, Ria hurriedly closed the door and went to the bathroom to prepare a hot bath for Alexa so she could relax before going to bed.

Alexa slumps herself into the sofa as soon as she enters her room, she exhausted to the maximum capacity her body could handle. Her brain seems to stop working once she arrives in her room, now she could only stare at the ceiling and looks at it blankly.

"Miss Grant, your bath is ready whenever you are! Miss, Grant!" Ria shouted from the adjoining bathroom.

A couple of minutes passed by, and Alexa still hasn't shown up, Ria decided to check and see what's going on with her. What Ria saw when she peeks at the small parlor broke her heart. Alexa crawled up in a ball, sound asleep.

'Poor girl, you didn't know what you were going to into when you arrived didn't you? Don't worry; you're not alone in this huge house. We will make sure you feel at home.' Ria thought as she went to bed to get a pillow and blanket to cover her charge, a small tear fell in her eyes without realizing what happened...

Meanwhile, in the President and First Lady's bedroom, the couple were arguing in regards to Alexa. The First Lady doesn't want the President to announce Alexa until she's ready. Her idea is to wait until they got the result from the DNA test and go from there.

President Grant wanted to argue with First Lady Dianne and hold a press conference letting everyone in the whole world that Alexa is his daughter. However, First Lady has a point to wait for the result first, for they might question her paternity afterward. President Grant has no choice but to agree with what First Lady Dianne suggested...

"Alright! Will wait for the result of the DNA as you suggested. However, once we know for sure that she's my daughter, I'm giving a press conference, no if or buts about it. Understood!" He said it sternly that First Lady Dianne dare not to argue and shut her mouth and went prepared to go to bed.

While First Lady Dianne was seating in front of the vanity removing her makeup, she's thinking with a sly smile on her face. 'Let see if you would be able to announce it to the whole world when the time comes, let see about that!'

Kingdom of Stonasia:

Prince Alexander was in a foul mood, and he's been pacing back and forth waiting for a phone call from his assistant. He has not heard from Pierre in the last couple of days and his about to embark to America to attend a lousy birthday party of the First Lady of the house.

Suddenly his phone started playing a tune..."There goes my heart beating..." He hurriedly pushes the slide bar on the screen, "hello! You better have a piece of good news or might as well hang up!" He told Pierre who's still at the other side of the world doing his bidding.

"Prince Alexander! Hello, I do have a piece of good news! It's about Miss Grant, and I know where she went..." Pierre excitedly announced.

Prince Alexander couldn't believe what he was hearing, the contour of his face suddenly changes and a wide grin props-up unto his handsome face. "That's a piece of good news indeed; speak!"

He growls as he ordered his assistant, he couldn't wait to hear the news. Finally, he would be able to see his future wife. If everything works out, he planned on showing his face at the party then leave right away.

"Miss Alexa Grant left the Philippines with a private investigator headed for the United States of America to meet her father. Isn't it a coincidence, because you are also on your way there?"

Pierre happily informs his employer, now he could return to Stonasia and relax while Prince Alexander takes care of the King's order. Hahaha! [At least that's what Pierre thought,]

Pierre almost has a heart attack when Prince Alexander spoke; "Don't come back here, head straight to America and I'll meet you there. Arrange a meeting for us, no matter how you do it. You got it?" Then hang up the phone without waiting for Pierre to reply.

Pierre "WTF!!!" He shouted out loud before throwing his cellphone as far as he could...

Ramon arrived at home looking all haggard and out of his mind from a long flight from the Philippines. He had not been able to sleep for the last couple of days ever since Alexa left without saying goodbye, nor letting him know where she's going.

"Welcome, home! Oh, I'm so happy that your back." Lucy Le Grande happily greeted Ramon as he walks in the house.

"Hmmm..." Was all Ramon said as he continued walking towards his room without turning to look back at his mother who's dumbfounded for the way he replied.

He didn't even know how he made it back home, that's why when his mother welcomes him home, he only replied with a curt nod and continued towards his room and once inside, he shut the door and locks it behind him.

His mother was still in shock with his attitude and was about to open his door... to scold him when she realized that he might leave again and decided against it and let him be for the time being.

Her heart aching for him, it's because she had someone follow him while he was roaming in the Philippines chasing after his childhood sweetheart. She also knew that the girl is not interested in him, because if she is, she will not leave without saying goodbye.

Lucy Le Grande thinks it's for the better anyway since the girl is a nobody and does not match him in every aspect.

As soon as Ramon reaches the sanctuary of his room, he dropped his whole body into his bed and closed his eyes. But no matter how much he tries to go to sleep, his mind wouldn't let him.

'Alexa!!! Where are you?' His mind kept on seeing her image, and it would not go away no matter how hard he tries. Ramon got up and went towards the bar inside his room, pour himself a hard liquor and drunk it in one gulp. "Sigh!"

He then poured another, then another, and another...-soon Ramon emptied the whole bottle and finally passed out on the floor with no more image of Alexa...
