The news spread like wildfire, mostly thanks to the workers who'd been rescued. They were the ones who got the word out.
Zoe and Shawn fought side by side against Team Quiver, their love unbreakable. In the end, they gave their lives to protect the innocent.
With rumors clashing against official statements, people were left confused. But one thing was clear. Shawn and Zoe had disappeared.
Some folks even managed to get bits of inside info from relatives in the Ludwig and Evans families.
Once again, the internet blew up with speculation.
Ms. Obrien: [This time it's real. Looks like Mr. Ludwig is really gone.]
CryingKitty: [It's over. Even his fiancée Zoe is dead. That means the news about Shawn is probably true.]
ILoveShawn: [Shawn was my everything. How am I supposed to live without you? What will Clusia do without you?]
Eunice was working at the Marlowe Group when she suddenly noticed everyone around her glued to their phones, scrolling through the latest news.
A colleague she was close with came over and asked, "Hey, is it true Zoe has gone missing?"
Eunice paused, caught off guard. She hadn't been home for days and honestly had no clue what was happening with her family. She wondered why her coworkers were suddenly so interested.
"Why are you suddenly so concerned about Zoe?" asked Eunice.
The colleague was surprised. "My gosh. Eunice, you really don't know? The internet's blowing up. Everyone's saying your sister Zoe is dead."
Another one chimed in, "Yeah, there were rumors before, but we didn't take them seriously. The officials even came out and denied it. Who would've thought..."
The previous one said, "You should go home and check, Eunice. And let us know what's really going on."
Eunice blurted out, shocked but excited, "Zoe is dead? Seriously?"
"We have no idea. That's just what everyone online is saying," the colleague said.
Inside, Eunice was practically buzzing with excitement, barely able to hide her glee.
She thought, 'Is it for real? Zoe is dead just like that? This is amazing. Now, no one can fight me for the inheritance or my family, and there's no way anyone can threaten my place in the Evans family ever again.'
Eunice was so happy that she could barely keep the grin off her face.
But to keep up the act of being a loving sister in front of everyone, she pinched her thigh hard.
Tears instantly welled up in her eyes. "Zoe is really gone... How did I not know at all?"
"Eunice, don't be too upset. Everyone says Zoe was a hero. She and Shawn, the legendary warrior, took down a powerful criminal group and saved so many people. She's a hero to all of us in Clusia," someone comforted her.
"Yeah, no wonder Shawn never dated anyone, not even someone as perfect as Sophia. It turned out he wanted a woman who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him," another person added.
"I guess only Zoe could truly live and die alongside Shawn," someone sighed.
"Even though they're both gone, I still totally ship them. 'Zoe & Shawn' will always be my favorite couple," someone said.
"Same here, I ship them too," another agreed.
Eunice had been secretly thrilled at the thought of Zoe dying, but when she heard that Zoe had died alongside Shawn in battle, she was completely floored.
"What are you guys talking about?" Eunice asked.
"Don't you know? Word is, Zoe went on a secret mission with Shawn, and the two of them ended up fighting off a thousand enemies. In the end, they both died. Crazy, right?"
Eunice's mind went totally blank. Shawn was dead. The strongest man she'd ever admired was just gone. She wondered, 'Who could possibly pull this off? Who could actually kill someone as unbeatable as Shawn?'
She couldn't hear another word her colleagues were saying. Eunice shot to her feet. "Can you guys help me put in for some time off? I need to go home."
"Of course. But you have to promise to bring us all the latest scoop when you get back. We're dying for more updates on them."
The whole office was buzzing with gossip, but Eunice didn't care about any of it anymore. She rushed home as fast as she could.
