Chapter 210

Before departing from Washinton D.C. Intl. Airport, Chrissy had contacted Sophia already informing her that they were on the way.  Once Sophia learned of them coming back, she quickly contacted Ann and told her in return.  They agreed to meet and have lunch together in one of the restaurants nearby so they could discuss where they would house them.

Ann was so excited that she quickly wrapped her photoshoots and rushed to the restaurant.  Sophia was already inside when she arrived, and she knew for there were so many fans gathering outside the restaurant wanting to get a glimpse of their idol.  Ann had to put on big sunglasses and a baseball cap so she could conceal her identity.

However, no matter how inconspicuous Ann was, her beauty stands out, and bystander and onlooker could tell she's either a model or an actress, so they still checked her as she walked with her head down towards the restaurant.  

Her new assistant Inday was good at blocking the people along with her bodyguard. Therefore, Ann was able to get inside the restaurant without being bombarded by Sophia's fans.

"Phew!  Mother, I would appreciate it if and when you go out to the public to try to be inconspicuous and not flaunt your beauty!"  Ann jokingly told her mother as she came and gave her a peck on her cheek.

"Hahaha!  I can't help it that I'm a Diva!  You know it's part of being a Diva to show off what you got."  Sophia replied with laughter in her voice.

Ann sat down across her mother and ordered a mango juice.  She loves mango juice.  Every time she goes out in a restaurant, no matter how posh it is, she would only order mango juice as her drink.  While the waitress was getting Ann's mango juice, she excitedly asked Sophia about Alexa and Chrissy.

"Mother, do you think Alexa has finally moved on and ready to mingle?  I mean, it's been a year, and she has no contact with the Prince any longer, right?"  She asked curiously, knowing her mother knows all the detail.

"I don't know?  From what Chrissy had been telling me this past year...  She was living like a ghost.  She would smile, but you could see the sadness in her eyes.  Chrissy also said that half of the time, she's spacing out and not as bubbly as before.  I feel sad for both of them."  Sophia's eyes were starting to have a little mist while she's speaking about her cousin and niece.

Ann grabbed hold at her mother's hand and began caressing.  "Don't worry mother, they will find their happiness someday, I truly believe that in the end, they would be happy like we do,"  Ann speaks with assurance and confidence that Sophia felt a lot better.

The waitress came with Ann's mango juice and took her order.  She orders a simple salad and soup and so as Sophia.  Once the waitress left, they continued their conversation and began planning what they need to do to make Alexa and Chrissy happy while they were in the Philippines.

"Mom, I think it's best if we let them stay at the resort.  I will tell Jeff about it and ask to close the resort for their exclusive use while they all here.  This way, no one would bother them, and they could enjoy the fresh air.  Unlike leaving in the city where there are too much traffic and pollutions."  Ann suggested but more like telling her mother what she's planning on doing.

Sophia thought about it before she replied.  She actually wanted them to stay with her...  However, Ann was right in regards to the city is crowded and overpopulated.  Therefore, she ended up agreeing and had also decided to take a vacation and accompany Chrissy while she's in the country.

After everything was settled where Alexa and Chrissy would be staying.  The mother and daughter enjoyed their little lunch bonding while fans and onlookers where all gathered outside waiting for them to emerge...

Jeff agreed to Ann's request and closed the entire island resort to let them used it exclusively.  When they stepped down at the tarmac of the airport...  There were people from Jeff's side to escort them to the pier for added security.

Daniel was relieved that Jeff took additional measures to send some of his people.  Even though they brought secret service with them, it's only to protect the immediate family of the First Family, and it does not include Andrea and Chrissy as of yet.  

Once they arrived at the resort, Alexa felt relaxed and leisurely walked down the beachfront to get some fresh air.  Chrissy was too tired to come with her and rested until dinner time.

Meanwhile, Daniel and Andrea went to their own villa and took the opportunity to enjoy each other's company.  They stayed indoors for the whole afternoon locked in their bedroom, doing what a couple should be doing when they are in love...

Dinner time came, and the resort chef had prepared a feast for the family.  Alexa took her time and made herself beautiful as a Miss Universe should be.  Daniel and Andrea looking all dignified as always, and Chrissy also wore an elegant evening dress.  It was a picture-perfect with only two things missing...  A Prince for Alexa and a man for Chrissy, and it would have been a picture-perfect alright.

During dinner time, Daniel brought out the subject of them getting married in the Philippines.  Alexa and Chrissy were happy for the couple and couldn't wait for it to happen.  Suddenly it occurred to Alexa that it would not be fair to their father and grandmother if they couldn't be there at the wedding.  

"Brother, don't you think Dad and Grandma would be unhappy if they don't see the two of you get married?"  Alexa asked, sadly.

"Hahaha!  Don't worry, my dear sister.  First of all, Dad and Grandma would be here.  Secondly, this wedding is for all of Andrea's family to be able to attend our wedding.  We will have another wedding once we go back to Washinton D.C.  And this time, it will be attended with all of our family and everyone else who wanted to come."  Daniel explained to Alexa and Chrissy with a smile procured on his handsome face.

"Yes, little sister...  It's only for our relative that wouldn't be able to fly to America.  We will only hold a small wedding and a quiet one too.  I'm actually thinking that this place has a history and I'm hoping that we can hold our wedding here.  What do you think?"  Andrea's eyes were glowing as she asked Alexa and Chrissy's opinion.

Alexa and Chrissy loved the idea and offered their help with the wedding.  Andrea and Daniel happily agreed and accepted all the help they could get to get it done asap so they could all go back to America where they belong.

Daniel and Andrea's wedding will be held at the resort, and Ann recommended Rita Robles to be in charge of the venue.  Since Andrea knew of Rita Robles, who manages the venue of the fashion show, she was more than happy to accept and so as Daniel.

Seeing that it's the President of the United States of America's Son, Rita Robles decided to take the job and personally handle everything.  She knows that after this wedding, it will be another one under her belt. That's she could benefit her company's popularity.

They are seeing that Daniel is a prominent person, the son of the President of the United States of America.  The security would be very, very tight.  Only guests would be allowed.no matter who the person is.  If no invitation, no entry.  (just like Jeff and Ann's wedding.)

The Go Family and the Tan's were the only families that were invited to the wedding along with Andrea's immediate families. No Politicians, no other prominent families.  They want to keep it simple and quiet.

That devastated Rita Robles after learning, for she was hoping that it would boost her popularity once again, but they want to keep it hush-hush.   Unknown to her that they were planning on using her for the big wedding in America.  

Being back in the Philippines boosted Alexa's soul, and she began spending more time with her friends and family.  Chrissy was so happy with her sudden change of attitudes that she was able to spend more time with her cousin Sophia.

The day went by so quick, and then it was time for the wedding.  The maid of honor would be Alexa.  For the bridesmaid, Ann, Lea, & Eva.  The ring bearer is little Jeffrey and the flower girl, little Ava.  For the best man, Jeff helped out and promised a friend to partner with Alexa.  While Jeff, Ronald, and Ethan would help out to be the groomsmen.

On the day of the wedding, Airforce One landed at Ninoy International Airport.  When the media got a hold of the news, President Grant and Grandmother Grant were long gone already, and no one was around for them to see.   They were transported quickly to the island and arrived on time before the wedding began.

Daniel stood at the altar, all nervous.  All the boys were waiting for their prospective partners with one man missing...  The best man that Jeff had invited to help even out the field. 

Jeff was being secretive and didn't even tell Daniel who it would be.  All he said was, "It's someone very dear to your sister and hopefully could put a smile on her face."
