Giovanni's eyes were filled with a desperate plea as he shook his head, his voice cracking with emotion. "I can't lose another child from this family," he whispered, his hands trembling as he pulled out his phone to call the police headquarters.

Within minutes, the hospital was swarming with police officers, their faces stern and determined. They fanned out, searching every nook and cranny, questioning everyone from hospital staff to patients. The usually calm and sterile hospital corridors were now a hub of activity, filled with the sound of murmured conversations and the rustle of uniforms.

As the police combed the hospital, some patients and staff members came forward, claiming to have seen Axel walking out of the hospital alone. The head of police, a no-nonsense woman with a kind face, listened intently to each account, her eyes narrowing as she pieced together the timeline of events.

She made her way to the hospital's security room, where she reviewed the surveillance footage. The grainy images showed Axel walking out of the hospital, his figure dwarfed by the large automatic doors. He looked lost and alone, his eyes cast down at the floor.

The officer's expression was grim as she turned to Giovanni. "Sir, I'm afraid it looks like Axel has left the hospital on his own. We'll do everything in our power to find him and bring him home safely."

Giovanni's face crumpled, his eyes welling up with tears. "Please, you have to find him," he begged, his voice shaking with desperation. "I couldn't bear to lose another child."

The news of the tragic loss of Leonardo and Elisabeth Blackwood, the son and daughter-in-law of the country's wealthiest and most influential business-man, Giovanni Blackwood, sent shockwaves throughout the nation. The country's media outlets were abuzz with the news, and social media platforms were flooded with condolences and messages of support for the grieving family.

As the news of the tragic accident spread, the Blackwood family's mansion was besieged by reporters, camera crews, and paparazzi, all clamoring for a statement or a glimpse of the family. The police had to be called in to maintain order and keep the crowds at bay.

But just as the nation was coming to terms with the loss of Leonardo and Elisabeth, another bombshell dropped: Axel Blackwood, the young grandson of Giovanni Blackwood, had gone missing. The news sent a fresh wave of shock and concern throughout the country, with many taking to social media to express their worry for the young boy's safety.

The police launched a massive search operation, scouring the city and surrounding areas for any sign of Axel. The Blackwood family, already reeling from the loss of Leonardo and Elisabeth, was now beside themselves with worry about their missing grandson.

As the search for Axel continued, the nation held its breath, waiting anxiously for any news of the young boy's whereabouts. The Blackwood family's tragedy had captured the hearts of the entire country, and everyone was praying for a miracle – for Axel to be found safe and sound, and for the Blackwood family to find some measure of peace in the midst of their unimaginable grief.

As the darkness of the night enveloped the estate, Axel slipped back into the familiar surroundings of his family's home, unseen by the housekeepers who were busy attending to their duties. He made his way upstairs, his footsteps quiet on the plush carpet, and entered his father's study.

The room was dimly lit, the only sound the soft hum of the computer on the desk. Axel's eyes adjusted slowly to the darkness, and he made his way to his father's chair, collapsing into it as if the weight of his grief was too much to bear.

He sobbed uncontrollably, his body shaking with each ragged breath. The pain of losing his parents was overwhelming, and he felt lost and alone in the world. Time seemed to stand still as he cried, the only sound the echo of his own despair.

As he sat there, Axel's eyes fell on his father's desk, slightly ajar. He pushed it open, revealing a registered gun inside. A thought flashed through his mind, and for a moment, he considered ending his own pain. But then, the image of his mother's smiling face appeared in his mind, and he hesitated.

Axel's grip on the gun tightened as he stood up and walked to the backyard, where his father used to practice shooting. The cool night air did little to calm his racing mind as he raised the gun and pointed it at the target.

The sound of the gunshots echoed through the night air, each one a release of the pent-up emotions inside him. Axel's eyes blazed with anger, his mind racing with thoughts of his parents, his family, and his own uncertain future. The gunshots seemed to fuel his anger, and he felt a sense of temporary relief wash over him.

But as the last shot echoed away, Axel stood there, his chest heaving, his eyes still blazing with intensity. He felt a sense of emptiness, a feeling that he had just scratched the surface of his grief. The gunshots had been a temporary release, but they had not brought him the peace he so desperately sought.

The sound of the gunshots echoed through the night air, shattering the silence of the estate. The butler, Jenkins, and the house helpers were startled, their hearts racing with concern. They rushed to the scene, their footsteps hurrying across the lawn.

As they approached the backyard, they were met with a sight that made their blood run cold. Axel stood tall, the gun still clutched in his hand, his eyes blazing with a fierce intensity. The targets lay shattered and splintered, a testament to his marksmanship.

But it was not just the destruction that shocked them – it was the ease and professionalism with which Axel had fired the gunshots. He had handled the gun with a precision and skill that belied his young age.
