He has a domineering grandfather who is one of the country's feared generals, a manipulative mother solely devoted to pleasing her father, her husband but not her own son, and a father who is a respected military officer and the only one who truly understands him. He has consistently refused to join the military academy, but one major mistake made him decide otherwise. He graduates with honors from the academy; despite this achievement, Alexander feels empty. His duty took him to the mountains and it is there that he began to fill the void in his heart where he finds Javier, his twin brother.

Upon the decision of the Chief of Staff, he spearheaded the investigation of carnapping incidents and suspects that Javier has been involved, even though he thought right, he failed to prove it from the evidences he has gathered. This leads Javier thinking that his family can revolve around him instead. Alexander experiences Lover's Quarrel with Krista and apologises many times, he soon tries to fix things by asking her to marry him for which Kaye refuses. As his auntie is freed from prison, he sees his affection for his brother and asks her if she could treat him like a son like his brother. Finally after months and trials of proposing to Kaye she reconciles and agrees to marry him. Alexander and his family visits Kaye's house to meet and get to know each other. Meanwhile, he finally confronts his brother of all his wrongdoings, his jealousy and immaturity after he saw his auntie (birth mother) Lora crying after she had a conversation with Javier.

Meanwhile, he manages to untie the ropes until Javier comes in and pretends that he hasn't find a way to escape. He later takes the rope off and kick Javier and escapes but is unfortunately hit by Alondra and loses consciousness. Alondra and Javier immediately pulls him back and ties him up and drives away before he wakes up. He later hears Gabrielle and sees her in pain and finds that her best friend has been stabbed.

He comes back to the military camp and decides not to say anything about Javier's case and that he saw Gabrielle dying in front of him.
