The news report flashed on the screen, listing the names of the victims. Alex's name was among them, and as the royal Prince of the kingdom, his photo appeared on the screen, sending shockwaves through the room.
"No!" Queen Lala screamed, her voice piercing the air as she lost consciousness.
"Mom!" Diva cried out, rushing to her side.
The king barked orders to the guards, instructing them to help the queen inside. They quickly obeyed, escorting her out of the room.
The city was plunged into mourning, with the news of the crown prince's death spreading like wildfire. Mrs. Ruth was overcome with grief, tears streaming down her face as she watched the news.
Meanwhile, Nathan boarded a flight to the crime scene, where the plane had crashed into the river. Rescue teams, police officers, and peers were on the scene, searching for survivors. The medical teams were working tirelessly to collect the dead bodies, both from the plane and the water.
The scene was one of utter devastation, with bodies being pulled out of the wreckage and the water. The rescue efforts were in full swing, but it was clear that there were no survivors.
Nathan search through each dead bodies trying to access Alex's remain, but he couldn't find it, he waited for the bodies to be brought out first to confirm.
Meanwhile, Mia and Naomi was still unaware of the tragedy that was happening. Mia was getting ready to leave her office when her secretary entered, looking somber.
"Are you okay? Why are you looking so sober?" Mia asked, wondering what was wrong.
"Something tragic just happened," her secretary replied.
"What is it? Is the company in trouble?" Mia asked, looking worried.
"No, the prince of this kingdom is dead," her secretary announced, her eyes fixed on Mia's.
"What are you saying? Don't let people hear that word that came out of your mouth or you'll be in serious trouble," she said, thinking it was a joke.
"I am telling the truth," her secretary said, showing her the news on her phone. Mia grabbed the phone, shocked to see the news.
"Oh no!"
"The plane he was traveling on crashed into a river, and there are no survivors," her secretary explained.
Mia panicked, handing the phone back to her secretary. She quickly took out her phone and dialed Naomi's number, but it wasn't connecting.
Meanwhile, Naomi was about to leave her office when she noticed something strange. She took out her phone and saw that she had no signal. As she stepped out of her office, she saw that her secretary wasn't at her desk, but her belongings were still there.
Naomi took the lift downstairs and came out to see everyone looking sad, including her secretary.
"What's going on? Why is everyone so sad?" she asked, confused.
Just as Olivia was about to break the news to her, her cell phone rang.
"Hey sis, sorry I'm...," but before she could finish, Mia's sobbing voice came through the line.
"Naomi."
"Mia, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" She asked. Her eyes drifted to the news screen showing Alex's photo and the plane crash. She read through the article, and her eyes widened in shock. She screamed and almost lost her balance, but Olivia quickly held onto her.
"This is the reason everyone is sad. The boss is dead." Olivia said as she sniffs.
"No!".
Naomi's face crumpled, and she let out a loud cry as she pushed Olivia away and ran off. She rushed back to the rooftop, her body shaking with sobs as she fell to the ground. The last words she had exchanged with Alex replayed in her mind, fueling her grief.
The sky darkened, and a loud thunder clap boomed as the rain began to pour down. Naomi's cries were drowned out by the storm, her body wracked with pain.
Meanwhile, Mia was trying to reach Naomi, but the call kept disconnecting. She decided to visit her sister's company, hoping to find her there. When she arrived, she was met with a scene of chaos and grief. Everyone was in shock, still reeling from the news of Alex's death.
Mia approached Olivia, one of the staff members.
"Um, excuse me. I'm here to see my sister," she said.
"Your sister? What's her name?"Olivia's eyes were red-rimmed, but she managed to compose herself.
"Naomi," Mia replied.
"Oh, I'm her secretary," Olivia said.
"That's good to know. Do you know where she is? I couldn't get through to her."
"No, but she ran off a while ago when she heard the news about our boss's death," Olivia explained. "I'm sure she's in her office. Just take the elevator to the third floor. The door to your right is her office."
Mia thanked Olivia and rushed off. When she arrived at Naomi's office, she found it empty. She checked the restroom, but Naomi was nowhere to be found. Wondering where her sister could be, Mia's concern grew.
She wander around each building and offices and then decided to check the rooftop, she came with the rain still pouring down heavily, so lucky she had an umbrella, she got to the roof and was shocked to see Naomi on the ground wallowing in pain, she panicked and rushed to her.
"Sis".She moved to her, Naomi turn to her her eyes filled with tears and pain, she rushed into her arms sobbing. she pat her head as the rain continue to pour down on them.
The royal house was filled with sympathizers, Elora was consoled by Diva as she cried bitterly. King Luke sat in his throne room, feeling heartbroken, surrounded by friends who came to offer their condolences.
"Has his remains been found yet?" Mr. Adam asked.
"Not yet, Nathan is over there waiting for his remains to be found," King Luke replied, sadly.
"If he is not found, it means he is alive," Josh said.
"I believe that too," Anna added.
"Please, God, bring my son back," Queen Lala cried out, her body shaking with grief. Mrs. Adam quickly moved to console her.
"He will be found, I believe he is alive and he will be brought home," Mrs. Adam said.
"Alex, can't do this to me, please come back," Elora cried bitterly, her body wracked with sobs.
"He is going to be found alive," Diva said.
Meanwhile, Naomi had locked herself in a room, crying her eyes out, feeling guilty for not telling Alex how she truly felt about him. She sat in front of his portrait, staring sadly at it, her clothes wet from the rain.
"Can you please don't die yet, I still have a lot to say to you... Can this be a dream? I am sorry I should have told you how I feel about you... Please come back, don't leave, not now... I promise to give us a chance if you come back... Please let this be a dream, I beg of you," she cried, resting her head on her knees.
Mia stood outside the room, her back against the door, hearing Naomi's words and feeling pained. Tears crawled down her eyes as she listened to her sister's anguished pleas.
Mr. Daniels watched from a corner, feeling sad, especially for Naomi.
"Please Alex, can you be alive for Naomi, please come back," Mia thought to herself, her heart heavy with grief.
Nathan stood at the scene, his eyes scanning each victim that was brought ashore. Hours had passed, and he had yet to find Alex's remains among the dead bodies. The thought of not finding him was unbearable.
After what felt like an eternity, the rescue team approached the police, their faces grim.
"We've recovered all the bodies we can," one of them said.
"What about the prince?" Nathan asked.
"This is all the dead bodies we could find," the rescue team member replied. "Some may have been swept away by the river."
"Does this mean he's still alive?" Nathan asked.
"I don't think so. This river has sharks... I'm afraid to say the worst." One of the officer said looking somber.
"We did find some torn clothes underwater with bloodstains on them."Another rescue team member said.
But Nathan wasn't convinced. He knew Alex was still alive somewhere.
"I'll keep searching," he muttered to himself. "I am not leaving this place, Alex, until I find you alive," he thought, his resolve strengthened by the uncertainty.
With a resolute stride, he walked away, his eyes scanning the riverbank, refusing to give up hope.
