President Grant was fuming with anger towards the Si family .  Why does he have to be related to them by marriage, he was hoping with the First Lady pa.s.sing that it would seize already .  He thought wrong!

"Anyone out there?!  Call Senator Grant . I want to speak to him right now!"  He shouted from inside the oval room .

"Yes, Mr . President!  Right away, sir!"  His a.s.sistant aid, replies from the outer room .

No sooner than all of his advisors arrived, Daniel arrived too . He has a gloomy look on his face, for he just went to rest and was about to do hunky punky with his fiancee when they were interrupted .

"You called for me Sir?"

"Yes!  Your d.a.m.n cousin and her parents in trouble .  I want you to go there and take care of this matter personally .  No matter what you do, make sure she doesn't drag our name to the mud .  Now, go!"  He growled while he furrowed .

Once Daniel had left, President Grant and his advisors got down to business about Alexa's matter . He wants to announce to the whole world that she's her daughter, but he can't .

Advertis.e.m.e.ntTherefore, he's about to inform them that she would be running for miss universe compet.i.tion under the Philippines flag .

He wanted to make sure that they don't give her a hard time in case she won .  Only his advisors know the truth about Alexa, and he's afraid that if she won the compet.i.tion, they might want to use it for his next election campaign . He can't let them do that to his Princess .

"You know if she wins this compet.i.tion, they will look into her past and your relations.h.i.+p might come out in the open .  Maybe she could prolong entering the compet.i.tion for now until you secure your post . "  One of the advisors said while in deep thought .

"Yes, he is right about that a.s.sumption, it could backfire on you, and you might lose the precedency .  Could you handle that?"  Another one asked .

President Grant had to think very hard .  Which one is more important, his precedency or his family? The latter won, and he chose to let her do what she wants .  It is her long-time goal, and just when her dreams were attainable, he can't be a hindrance to her from achieving her goal .

"How about we play it by ear, the fas.h.i.+on show would be in two weeks .   After that, she would be preparing for the compet.i.tion .    When the time comes, will decide what to do, for the time being, let her be .   I want her to enjoy her life to the fullest . "  The President said with sadness in his voice .

Everyone agreed to leave Alexa alone for now, when the time comes, they would once again discuss what to do with her .    Once everything was settled, one by one, the President advisors stood up and prepared to leave .   Every one of them gives comforting words and condolence before departing .

President Grant thanked them and bid them goodbye .   The a.s.sistant aid shows them out while the President sits back, rested his head on the chair, and closed his eyes temporarily .   He started to get a headache from anger .  

Earlier on, he thought he would have a heart attack after reading the report about the Si, family .   In the future, he would do everything in his power to stay away from them if he could help it . He thought to himself while trying to rest his mind .

Suddenly, President Grant remembers where he was heading before he was interrupted and called for this stupid stunt the Si-family had done .   He quickly got up and walked as fast as he could towards Alexa's room .  

His secret service was having a problem catching up at him for he was walking like the grim reaper was after him .

A moment later, he was standing by Alexa's door . . .   Lucas and Logan, as usual, were standing guard outside the door .   They pay their respect to the President before Lucas was ready to knock on the door .

"Wait!  Just a moment . "  President Grant stopped Lucas from what he was about to do .   

He first checked if his suits were excellent, and dusted off an imaginary speck of dust .   Once he was sure that he looks his best, he then nodded his head to Lucas .  

Lucas knocked on the door lightly .   *Knock-knock!*  "Miss Grant, the President, is here to see you!"  He shouted .

"Let him in!"  Alexa yelled back while walking towards the door to greet her father .

No sooner than President walks in, Alexa was in his embrace .   "Dad!  How are you?  Everything alright?  I heard that you were stopped on the way here for some urgent matters .   I know it was nothing major?"  Alexa said with her eyes full of concern .

President was so glad to hear her Alexa's joyful voice and concern for him .   He gives her a light kiss on her forehead before answering .  

"It was nothing to concern you .   Just some stupid stunt the Si family had done overseas, and I was contacted to straighten the matter .   It's being taken care off now, and you're brother's on the way there to personally take care of the situation . "  He said casually .

Andrea, who just arrived and was standing right behind Alexa, heard what the President said and quickly greeted the President and excused herself to find Daniel .   From the way she walked out, Alexa could tell that she's upset and fuming .  

It must be because her brother would be leaving soon or had already left without informing her .   She let go of her father and ushered him to sit down at the sofa .

As they were walking towards the sofa, President Grant keeps on looking all over Alexa's room .   Alexa saw this and knew who he was looking for .   She felt downcast for her father, for she knows who he's been looking for . . . -  Her mother . "

Once they were seated, Ria stepped out of the room to get some refreshment for them .   When there was only the two of them in the room .   President Grant didn't dilly-dolly, and anxiously asked Alexa .

"Didn't your mother and aunt came with you?  Where are they?  I was hoping to have a private word with your mother, you know . . . "  He said with sadness in his eyes .

Alexa wasn't sure how is he going to tell her father that her mother had run off as fast as she could to not speak with him .   However, she couldn't seem to find the right word and just looked at her father while tears started forming in her beautiful eyes .

"Dad!  You see . . .   I don't know how to say this, but . . . "  She was not able to finish her words for President Grant had put his two fingers on her lips .    "Shss!  It's alright, no need for words .   I understand, your mother left .   Sigh!"  He let out a big sigh before continuing . . .

"I was kind of hoping that I could at least say goodbye .   I never had a chance before, and when I thought she had died, I was devastated that I was not able to say goodbye to her .  If G.o.d would give me another chance, I would never let her go ever again .   You know that?!" 

The President spoke full of sadness, and tears began to fall from his eyes .

Alexa's heart was breaking, looking at her father .   She slowly embraces her father while trying to soothe his aching heart .    

Meanwhile, she was thinking of how she could bring her mother and father back together, now that he's once again a free man . . .
