Chapter 36 Facing reality

The plane landed at Washington DC International Airport without a hitch.After that little turbulence, everything went smooth, and they reached the destination without hassle.Since they were seating in the Business class, they were the first to embark the plane.

While everyone was preparing to embark, Alexa continued seating quietly in deep thought.The investigator saw that she's in a trans, she seems to be contemplating and hesitating to get up.

"Miss Grant, we have arrived.Are you ready?I could give you a moment to get situated if you needed time?"The investigator asked her kindly.

Alexa seems to be so far away, and she didn't' hear a word that the investigator said.She just continued looking outside the window of the airplane without saying a word.

"Miss Grant!"The investigator was repeatedly calling her attention.

"Huh?"Alexa turned her attention to the investigator and shyly smiled.

"I-I apologize, what did you say?"She asked as she prepares herself to get up.

"Nothing!-Nothing at all, are you ready?"The investigator asked smiling and shaking his head at the same time.

"As ready as I could be, I guess.Is now or never!"Alexa grabs all the little belongings that she brought with her, then got up to follow the investigator to God knows where.

In the meantime, Ramon was knocking furiously at Alexa's home.He's been banning the door for a while already, and no one was answering.He tried calling Alexa over and over with no luck before deciding to go to her house and check in person.However, it seems that there's no one at home either, all windows were tightly shut, and no matter how hard he knocked, no one answered.

Ramon was about to turn around and leave when he heard a voice from the next door neighbor.

"Hello!Young man, if you're looking for Alexa and her grandmother, they no longer live there.I saw a truck came yesterday and loaded all their belongings, then a car came for Alexa and grandma Santos and took them away."Inday gladly informs Ramon.

"I'm sorry!What did you say? Could you repeat that, please!"Ramon couldn't believe what Inday was telling him.How could they move in a matter of a day, and where did they move to?

Inday deliberately repeated word for word, what she just told him to ensure he understands everything. "So, to make a long story short... I don't know where they run off to."

When Inday was about to go back inside her home, Ramon asked if she has Andrea's phone number.Unfortunately, she doesn't so Ramon has no choice but to go to RRWP where Andrea work to try his luck...

When Ramon arrives at RRWP, he found out that he's not the only one looking for Alexa.Pierre was there having a conversation with Andrea who also has no idea where Alexa went.All she knows is that grandmother Santos moved to Pangasinan Province, while Alexa had some personal matter to attend and that's all.

Pierre gave his card to Andrea and asked her to contact him as soon as she heard from Alexa.He then bid her goodbye and made a call as he was walking out of the building to report everything to his Highness Prince Alexander...

Ramon was devastated to find out that Alexa had left to God knows where.He also gave his contact information to Andrea and asked the same to be contacted once she heard from Alexa.He bid Andrea goodbye and went back to the hotel to check out.

Ramon has no choice but to face the consequences, and he needs to go back home and face reality.A woman has been chosen for him to marry whether he likes it or not.His mother was kind enough to give him a chance to bring home a fiancee, but he failed...'He just lost the only woman that he wanted to spend the rest of his life...' Ramon thought while tears started to form in his eyes...

Meanwhile, in the Castle of Stonasia Prince Alexander just received a phone call from Pierre.

"What did you just said?She's gone!What do you mean gone?You better find her, even if you have to turn the whole Philippines upside down.Let me warn you for the last time... If you don't find her, you might as well never come back! You hear me!!!"Prince Alexander was so mad after hearing that Alexa was missing.

He's so mad that he threw his cellphone towards the door of his room just in time for someone to come in and get hit at the same time.

"WTF!!!" The King of Stonasia shouted to Prince Alexander...
