Beginning of a New Life
Beginning of a New Life
Alexa had already checked when she was still in the Philippines and was shocked to see how many winners came from this Country. Most of them were trained and managed by Mrs. Garcia. That was why she was determined to get signed by her back then. Now here she was, about to start her journey. Alexa could not wait to begin her new life.
===
Ms. Garcia's home was situated in the heart of the City overlooking the Capital.
Once Alexa set her eyes on the beautiful building, she fell in love instantly.
She could not believe that her luck would change drastically in a matter of only a week.
A couple of weeks ago, she was still back in the Philippines hustling and bustling, trying to make a living. All of a sudden, here she was, being treated like a princess and protected by the American secret service like some precious gem. If she was dreaming, she never wanted to wake up from it as it was a dream come true for her to be in such an environment.
Alexa only had one other wish, and that was for Andrea to share everything with her... Unbeknownst to Alexa, there were plans on the line for her to receive a surprise, and her longing to be with Andrea would come true.
Alexa was still in a trance while looking around the whole place and not realizing that Daniel was watching her the entire time with a big grin on his handsome face. And so was her bodyguard/assistant Ria Flora who had been staying quiet the whole journey and being inconspicuous.
Daniel was staring at her intensely, eyes glowing with kindness, and full of love for his only half-sister.
"What? What's with that grin and that look?" Alexa asked her older Brother shyly while her face turned red from blushing. She loved the feeling of being cherished like a crystal glass. That was precisely how her older half-sibling was showering her with love at the moment.
"Nothing! I only think that you're so adorable and I hope you will stay that way for a very long time." Daniel gave her a peck on her cheek, which made Alexa blush even more.
The siblings were enjoying the scenery when suddenly, Daniel's eyes widened. He remembered that it was his mother's big birthday celebration and he was not there to celebrate with her. Since he was already out of the Country and it was impossible to make it back, he decided to turn his phone off. That way, no one would be able to get a hold of him. If only Daniel knew that the birthday celebration had been long-canceled and he was one of the culprits that the First Lady wanted to murder at that moment.
===
Everything was pre-arranged for Alexa and her entourage. Ms. Garcia allocated the West Wing for her and her entourage. It was big and comfortable enough to house all of her secret service agents and bodyguards. It was a four-bedroom guest house that could accommodate all her needs while living with the Garcia family.
Meanwhile, Daniel was given a room at the East wing across from Alexa's wing. While it only had only two bedrooms, it was ample enough to accommodate him and his secret service agents for a couple of days.
Alexa and Daniel went to their separate wings to freshen up before going to the main house where Dr. and Mrs. Garcia resided. A small banquet was arranged for their arrival and to welcome Alexa to her new home then introduce her to a few other staff and trainees that Alexa would be working with.
Ria picked out a beautiful dinner dress for Alexa to wear. As always she was like a Mother-hen protecting her chick. After dressing up, Ria French-braided Alexa's hair to give her a more youthful appearance. As always, she only put baby powder on her face, no foundation, or anything. She only put a cherry pink lip gloss on, and she was ready. 'Perfectly beautiful' Ria was satisfied with how Alexa looked; not too overbearing, subtle, and sweet as her personality was.

Daniel went to fetch Alexa so that they would attend the banquet together. When he saw how beautiful and innocent his younger sister looked even with only a simple adornment, he began to worry. His protective instincts kicked in, and he decided that he would also request that his Father let him stay right beside Alexa while she prepared herself for the future.
"Are you ready? We must not delay, or they would think that we Americans have no manners." Daniel jokingly told Alexa.
Alexa: "...?"
Ria: "^-^."
Other guest had arrived already. The chatting and laughter could be heard loudly as they passed through the hallways toward the garden where the banquet was set up.
Dr. Garcia spotted the siblings first and whispered to Ms. Garcia, who was conversing with one of her important friends. Ms. Garcia excused herself and left Dr. Garica to continue chatting with the person. She walked towards Alexa and Daniel as they arrived with a sweet smile plastered on her face.
"Oh, don't you both look amazingly beautiful? If I did not know any better, I would think that you two are a couple. Hahaha!" She joked as she extended her hand to welcome Alexa in a motherly embrace.
Alexa accepted her warm embrace and greeted her in return like an obedient daughter. "Thank you for having me and for accepting me into your family." She shyly whispered.
"Come! Let me introduce you both to the guests so that we can have our dinner. I am famished, and I know you probably are too." All three walked toward where Dr. Garcia was speaking with a friend.
Unknown to Alexa and Daniel, there was someone else who was going to join them at the dinner table. A person that would be hanging around them for many years to come...
