One Night With The Prince

Alexa was whimpering so hard, and it was breaking Ramon's heart. He was bewildered and was wondering what he could do at that moment. He slowly eased himself toward the floor, and once his knees touched the floor, he put Alexa down. He was about to get up to grab some pillows and a blanket when Alexa suddenly reached out and held on to his arms still asleep. "Don't leave me, please! I don't want to be alone..." She muttered while still sobbing with eyes closed.

Ramon was contemplating what he was going to do while Alexa was gripping his arms so hard like it was a matter of life and death.

He didn't have much of choice but to sit down on the floor and comfort Alexa. "I'm not going anywhere, don't worry alright? Sleep, I'll be here when you wake up." He told Alexa who started to breathe evenly after his soothing words.

Ramon was in deep thought about Alexa's situation. How is he going to introduce her to his family as his fiancée without being looked down upon? Ramon never thought that far ahead when he decided that Alexa was the one he had always wanted to marry and no one else... Knowing how stuck-up his parents and sibling were, he started to worry about how he was going to pull it all off.

Meanwhile, outside the house, Pierre and Greta were trying to peek inside the home from the window that was left open. However, there was no one in the small space that looked like a living room. Pierre could see a silhouette inside the room, but he could not tell if it was that man or Alexa.

"Greta, what do you think they are doing right now? Why are they in the room when they're meant to be looking for her grandmother?" Pierre was curiously asking Greta who was busy recording the whole place so she could show it to Lady Antella.

Greta wasn't paying any attention to Pierre whatsoever. She was busy moving her cell phone camera from left to right and from right to left to get a good view of the whole place while shaking her head in disbelief. "Gosh! Is this a home or a cubicle? The whole house was the size of a small storage area that Lady Antella used to keep the gifts that she did not like. Poor girl, how can a person survive living in a place like this?" She was muttering to herself as she recorded everything including her comments.

The two didn't realize that a barangay tanod [town bodyguard] who was patrolling had seen them. He first blew his whistle to them before he threw a question at them.

"Hey! You two! w-w-what are you doing?" While pointing his little baton at Pierre and Greta. "We people are poor, nothing to steal, go-go-go!" He tried his best to communicate with them by speaking some sort of broken English.

Pierre was quick to explain and apologize while grabbing hold of Greta and ushering her to leave as not to attract any more attention from more people.

The town bodyguard was satisfied with Pierre's explanation and continued with patrolling around the area.

As soon as Pierre and Greta were back in the safety of the car, Pierre let out a sigh of relief. "That was close; let us go back to the hotel and report. What do you think?" He anxiously asked Greta.

When Greta didn't reply, Pierre ordered the driver to take them back to the hotel so they could report everything to Prince Alexander and Lady Antella. Hoping that they could do something to help find Alexa's grandmother... He was also wondering what happened to Alexa's grandmother...

Prince Alexander decided he was going to sneak out and go back to the hotel. The only problem was how he was going to get out of the island... Just as he was about to call Pierre, he saw three people about to get on board the boat to leave the Island. 'Hmmm, this is my chance, should I ask for a ride or not?' The first-won. Prince Alexander called out to the people. "Excuse me? Hello! Hello! Are you guys going back to the city?" He asked with the sweetest smile he could come up with, showing his incredibly breath-taking smile.

Komalika, Adleena, and Poziomoweic all looked up at the same time to see who was speaking. When Komalika saw the handsome playboy prince, she put on a very alluring smile before answering. "What if we are, what is it to you?"

Poziomoweic was not happy at all that an intruder was about to hitchhike with them. Especially an excellent looking intruder at that. He was not that stupid, why would he ask if they are going back to the city if not because he wants to ride with them. He did not like that idea at all...

Adleena, on the other hand, was tired and could care less about Prince Alexander. All she cared about was getting on board the boat, so they could go back to the city before they missed their flight that was going to take off in an hour. "Are you guys coming or what?" She snarled at Komalika and Poziomoweic unable to hold it any longer.

"Coming! Coming!!" Komalika hurriedly got on board the boat followed by Poziomoweic. "Are you coming or what?" Komalika shouted at Prince Alexander who was still contemplating if he was going to leave the wedding or not...
