\'\'Has she woken up? \'\' Grandma, who was sitting with Diana and Elizabeth outside the emergency ward stood up from the chair when they saw a doctor come out of the ward.

The doctor\'s eyes scanned through their dismayed faces and he sighed and shook his head;

\'\'No, she\'s not awake yet. \'\'

She slumped back to the bench; she had cried so much that her eyes ached, but she couldn\'t stop the tears from flowing.

How would she lose two children in one day? No, no, this was not happening to her.

Her head twirled but she forced herself to remain sane, Elizabeth held onto her hand, telling her it\'s going to be fine,

\'\'Nicklaus has not been found, it\'s been a whole day and he has not been found, is he dead? Nicklaus… my baby… \'\'

The pain was too much to bear, she didn\'t want to dwell on the pain but she didn\'t have any control over her thoughts.

Diana was sitting opposite them; her head supported with her both hands as she stared blankly on the floor. She knew trouble would begin soon, Douglas was very sly and wicked, she wasn\'t surprised that he would go to this extent just to get the company from Nicklaus; she knew right from the beginning that to get the company, one person had to die but she didn\'t want it to be Nicklaus.

This was so bad. If Nicklaus was really dead, what would happen to their family? What would happen to Michael when Catherine didn\'t need him anymore?

Diana\'s heart squeezed painfully, her eyes widened suddenly; when she remembered something. Nicklaus was married to Tiana and obviously, there was no prenuptial agreement, they loved each other so much that they won\'t even think about that; the company was hers now right?

Does that mean… Douglas would come after her too?

Tears clouded Diana\'s eyes as her heart slammed against her chest; things were worse than it seemed, no, Nicklaus cannot be dead, he should not be dead!

This was terrible! This was terrible!

She stood up immediately from the bench and turned to the guards; \'\'get as many guards as you can to guard Tiana now! \'\'

There were just three guards there but they were not enough, Tiana was the most wanted person in the whole of America right now and even a dozen guards wouldn\'t be enough to guard her.

\'\'what is wrong? \'\'

Grandma asked when she heard Diana\'s command and the disturbed look on her face; Diana\'s eyes swept past grandma and her mom and she shook her head;

\'\'Nothing, \'\' she said and sat back down on the bench. Douglas was going to come after Tiana soon, and she didn\'t want to think of how that would turn out. He was the devil himself.

 \'\'Is she still alive? \'\' Elizabeth asked the doctor, now very worried. Tiana was transferred to her ward and they were allowed to come in and stay with her. The guards had taken Grandma home to rest because she was almost falling sick from her incessant cries. Elizabeth and Diana had been with Tiana throughout the day, and it was dark now, but she wasn\'t awake yet. She just fainted; she should be awake after a few hours, what was wrong?

The doctor sighed; \'\'She is, but I think she doesn\'t want to wake up, she has lost the will to live, she is not dead yet, but she\'s pushing against life. \'\'

Diana\'s eyes clouded and she looked away, she could imagine what Tiana was going through. If she was the one, she wouldn\'t want to wake up. Wake up to what? To a life without the only person, you loved?

A life of misery and emptiness, she understood what was going through Tiana\'s mind right now; at that moment, sleeping like that was better than being alive.

\'\'You can try to speak to her, I\'m not sure it would bring her back, but try to give her a reason to live, because right now, she is slowly slipping away. \'\'

The doctor said with a sad tone. They\'ve checked if she was hurt anywhere but she was not, and they realized that the patient they were trying hard to save didn\'t want to be saved.

\'\'I\'ll leave you both now; you can call if there are any complications. \'\' He said and they nodded.

\'\'Mom, this is bad. \'\' Diana said after a long while of silence. Elizabeth looked up at her;

\'\'It\'s worse than bad, \'\' she replied; her hand brushing through her hair.

\'\'what if Nicklaus doesn\'t come back, what would happen to Tiana?\'\' Diana asked in hushed tones, as though there was another person among them who could hear the conversation.

Elizabeth drew in a deep breath, ever since yesterday, she did not want to believe that Nicklaus was gone. It was still like a dream to her, so she refused to cry. She didn\'t want to believe that he was dead until she saw his body. She knew Nicklaus, she knew his will. He wouldn\'t just die like that, and not now that he has Tiana. No matter what anyone said, she would not believe he was dead until she saw his body.

\'\'Let\'s not think about it, Diana. Let\'s just be positive. His body was not found, it must be somewhere right? We should have seen at least a body part if he was devoured by a fish? \'\'

Diana nodded; she knew her mom was trying to be positive and she let her be. She had a soft spot for Nicklaus so her denial was as expected.

\'\'Mom, you need to rest now, go home, the guards are keeping watch on her and I\'ll send help over in case I need to leave. \'\'

 Elizabeth was very tired so she stood up; \'\'I\'ll be back tomorrow, make sure she isn\'t left alone. \'\'

\'\'Sure. \'\'

Diana turned to Tiana on the bed after her mom had gone. She stared at her calm body for a moment and then she walked to the bed; sitting down beside her, she took her hand.

\'\'Tiana… \'\' She called in a calm voice.

\'\'you have to wake up, please, we need you, okay? Nicklaus needs you… \'\'
