Turning to his men, the security chief's expression hardened, his eyes narrowing to slits. "Take down this lunatic immediately," he barked, his tone leaving no room for argument.

"Break his two legs if you have to, but I want him subdued and restrained. We've had enough of his ridiculous antics."

The armed guards, their faces set in grim determination, moved in swiftly, surrounding Nathan with practiced precision.

Their hands gripped their weapons tightly, ready to carry out the chief's orders with ruthless efficiency.

Nathan's eyes widened momentarily, but he stood his ground, his expression defiant as he folded his hands at his back.

Nathan looked around, studying his opponents. There were five men in total. One thing the Wilson family did not know about him was that, growing up, his father had made him train in various martial arts.

His father was a strong believer in being strong in mind and spirit, so he had the best martial artists from all over the world train him.

    The hotel owner, Mr. Vegas, glared angrily at the security chief, his brow furrowed in a severe expression. "What do you think you're doing?" he demanded sternly, his voice laced with irritation as he barely contained his anger. The security chief winced visibly, immediately cowering under Mr. Vegas' withering gaze. "I'm very sorry, Mr. Vegas," he apologized profusely, bowing his head in a sign of submissiveness. "It's all my fault. I allowed this troublemaker to gain access to the hotel. Please, don't worry, sir. I will rectify this immediately. I will have him thrown out straight away." He thought that Mr. Vegas was angry that he had allowed Nathan to cause a scene. Before the security chief could finish his explanation, Mr. Vegas lashed out, his hand swinging with sudden, forceful motion. A resounding slap echoed through the lobby of the hotel as Mr. Vegas' palm landed harshly on the security chief's cheek, the impact stinging and leaving an imprint of Mr. Vegas' palm on

    The Wilson family, who were once confident and composed, now found themselves in the midst of a perplexing and unsettling turn of events. Grandfather Wilson tugged at his sleeve, his own eyes wide with disbelief. "That's.. President Alexander!" he whispered urgently, his voice laced with a hint of panic. "It's impossible; it can't be... What is he doing?"Claire's mind raced desperately, trying to make sense of the situation. Were they witnessing some kind of elaborate ruse or political theater? Or was there something far more sinister and profound unfolding before their eyes? The implications of President Alexander, a prominent figure in the government, kneeling before a man she wanted nothing to do with, sent a shiver down her spine.Nothing could have prepared the Wilson family for this bizarre and unfolding spectacle. They watched in stunned silence as the two powerful men, normally beacons of authority and command, now prostrated themselves before Nathan in a display of the

    "Someone come here immediately!" Mr. Vegas barked, his voice brimming with a sense of urgency. In an instant, the security personnel stationed throughout the grand lobby came rushing to his side, their expressions tense and alert, awaiting his orders.Grandfather Wilson, his weathered features etched with bewilderment, swept his gaze over the approaching men. "What do you think you're doing?" he demanded, his voice carrying a hint of defiance.Mr. Vegas, his posture exuding an air of unwavering authority, leveled a cold, calculating gaze upon the Wilson patriarch. "Escort these... insignificant people out of the Celestial Resort immediately," he commanded, his words laced with a barely concealed disdain.At his order, the security men began to close in on the Wilson family, their movements fluid and efficient, intent on carrying out the directive.But before they could lay a hand on the family, Ivan stepped forward, his expression a mix of alarm and resolve. "Wait!" he cried, rais

    Ivan's eyes narrowed, his jaw set in a firm line as he regarded the opulent surroundings of the Celestial Resort with a newfound disdain.With a subtle nod, Ivan turned to his family members, his voice laced with a quiet but unwavering resolve. "Let's get out of here," he said, his gaze sweeping across the faces of his family, each one reflecting a mix of anger, humiliation, and determination to not be manhandled by the Celestial Resort's security men."Such a foolish and arrogant man!!!" Mr. Vegas said as he watched the Wilsons disgracefully exit the hotel. They were so blinded by arrogance that they could not see the truth right in front of them.Meanwhile in the VIP room, one of the president's confidants who had been keeping a close eye on the VIP servants as they prepared the room for Nathan's coming, immediately called one of them who looked familiar."You there," the president said, his voice low and authoritative, "I recognize your face. Who are you?"The servant's Adam's ap

    As the grand white door swung open, the beautiful and luxurious VIP section of the Celestial Resort was slowly revealed. The room was a masterpiece of opulence and sophistication, designed to receive highly esteemed guests.The ceiling was high above and adorned with intricate paintings that depicted scenes from the history of the hotel. An enormous crystal chandelier hung from the center, its countless facets catching and refracting light into a dazzling display.The walls were lined with rich, dark wood paneling, each piece carefully carved with ornate designs. Between the panels were large, gold-framed mirrors and original artwork, creating a sense of elegance. Soft red velvet drapes framed the tall, arched windows, which offered a breathtaking view of the surrounding city and skyline.The floor was covered in a thick, luxurious rug, its intricate patterns and vibrant colors adding to the beauty of the room. In the center stood a long, mahogany banquet table, polished to a mirro

    Nathan's lips quirked as he considered the question. "That is precisely why I have called you all here today," he replied, his gaze sweeping across the room. "I believe it is important to hear the perspectives of each of you . So, I ask you, what do you all think?" The room fell silent once more as the Presidents exchanged thoughtful glances, each considering their response with the utmost care. "Well, the Royal Corp has risen to be one of the companies in Prescott," President Dominic said, and the other Presidents nodded in agreement. "Yes, Miss Vanessa is a very smart and capable woman," President Alexander chimed in. "Really?" Nathan said, his face void of expression. Deep down, he noted that the Royal Corporation was the company the Global Triad was considering for the investment. This was the same company he was considering, not only because Vanessa had saved his life in the past, but also because she had trusted and believed in his advice to save her company from b

    Ivan's brow was furrowed, his expression a mixture of frustration and disbelief as he recounted the events. "We were in the lobby waiting for you to finish up," he began, his voice tinged with a hint of frustration. "But then suddenly Nathan came out of nowhere and we got into an argument. And before you know it, he had us thrown out of the Celestial Resort!" Liam's eyes widened, his mind struggling to process the gravity of Ivan's words. "Wait, wait, wait," he interjected, his tone laced with bewilderment. "Are you telling me that Nathan didn't flee after stealing those gifts?" How could the man they had accused of theft now be the one responsible for their expulsion? Ivan shook his head, his lips pressed into a thin, grim line. "Nathan, flee?" he scoffed, his voice dripping with a mixture of disbelief and disdain. "No, he's now all high and mighty, and somehow managed to get President Alexander to treat him with such great respect. "Meanwhile, we were the ones

    However, as Liam's fingers caressed Claire's hand, Claire slowly retracted it, her expression guarded. Claire was not that naïve; she recognized that Liam's desire to take their relationship to a more personal level, one that she was not yet ready for. She had just gotten out of a divorce, so she would have to think things through before she considered getting married again or being in a relationship again. Liam felt the sting of rejection, which was obvious on his face, but he quickly composed himself, his broad smile not wavering. Victoria, who had always wanted her daughter to marry a successful young man like Liam, immediately stepped in as she saw the growing tension between Liam and Claire. "You and Liam would look so good together," she said, her eyes shining with a mixture of hope and determination. "Unlike that useless and miserable loser of an ex-husband, Liam is a man worthy of your affection." Claire felt the weight of her mother's words, the unspoken pressu

    “It’s Grace and Brian!” Nathan called out, turning his wheelchair slightly. Vanessa’s footsteps were almost audible as she appeared on the screen, her eyes wide with joy. “Grace!” she exclaimed, dropping down beside Nathan and leaning into the camera. She could barely hide her excitement. “How are you? How’s Novida treating you? And Brian—look at you! How was your first day at your new school?” Brian was practically bouncing now. “I love it here! My school is amazing, Vanessa! We did science experiments, and I made new friends too!” “That’s incredible, Brian,” Vanessa said, her smile genuine and warm. “I knew you’d love it.” She then turned her attention to Grace. “And you? How are you adjusting to the new job?” Grace hesitated for a moment, as she thought of the new responsibility that were now resting on her shoulders. But then, she smiled. “It’s a lot,” she admitted, “but I’m handling it."" Nathan nodded approvingly. “I never doubted you for a second. You’re more than

    She let out a small smile as she reflected on the journey that had brought her here. From being a nobody in Prescott to standing as a CEO in Novida. Her fingers traced the smooth edge of her grand executive desk.Her gaze lingered on the plate where her name was engraved. Clara cleared her throat to remind her that she was still standing. “Ms. Grace, I have to go now. I have other things to attend to.” Grace nodded, offering a rare, genuine smile. “Thank you, Clara. I appreciate all your help today. You can go.” Clara bowed her head respectfully and left, leaving Grace alone in the vast, elegant office. Determined to make the most of her first day, Grace settled into the plush executive chair behind her desk. She looked at her computer. She had countless project proposals, company reports, and business forecasts to go through.She got to work immediately. Hours passed, and before she knew it, the day had long faded into evening. It was time for her to go home. Her execu

Grace chuckled as Brian rushed amd jumped into her arms. “Ready to go?” “YES!” he practically shouted, bouncing with excitement. As the CSR moved, Brian couldn’t sit still, his face was pressed against the window as he admired the futuristic parks, towering academic buildings, and artificial lakes passed by. As they neared Starview Academy, Grace breath hitched. The school was a nothing short of luxury with it's modern architecture.They could see the beautiful gardens, hand sports fields. The entrance gates opened automatically as they approached, and a pair of well-dressed administrators greeted them with warm smiles. The main building was an architectural masterpiece of glass and steel. Its walls displayed holographic art that shifted as they walked by. “Welcome to Starview Academy, Ms. Grace. You must be Brian,” one of the administrators, Ms. Calder

    The house stood gracefully, surrounded by beautiful gardens filled with exotic plants. Brian couldn’t hold back his excitement. “Mom!!! Is this... is this where we’re staying?!” Clara stepped out gracefully and opened their doors. “Welcome to your new home, Ms. Grace... Brian. This is your new residence.” Brian practically jumped out of the SUV, his mouth falling open as he drooled at the sight. “Mom, it’s... it’s HUGE!” Grace stepped out slowly, breathless for a moment. The house was a masterpiece, with solar tiles lining the roof, while smart glass panels shimmered in response to the shifting light. The front entrance opened with a soft chime as soon as Clara stood close enough. The advanced security system scanned her face and unlocked immediately. The spacious interior was even more breathtaking. The floors were shiny, and the soft lighting made the entire place even more beautiful. The living room was massive, with a very large TV, larger than anything Brian had

    The jet’s engines roared to life, and the pitch increased as the aircraft began to accelerate down the runway. The onlookers watched in pained silence, their gazes fixed on the plane as it soared into the sky, climbing higher and higher until they could no longer see it. Vanessa’s breath hitched as she whispered, “They’re really gone...” Nathan slowly sighed, and after a while, they turned around and headed back to their car. The return journey was silent; the once-lively convoy felt hollow without Grace and Brian. Vanessa sat close to Nathan, and they both remained silent. Nathan stared out the window, his mind consumed by memories of Brian’s laughter and Grace’s warm smile. When they finally arrived at the Cloud Mansion, the house felt strangely empty, as though the walls themselves could feel the absence of two beloved souls. James parked the car and opened the door for Nathan. Nathan stared at the house for a long time before wheeling himself toward the entrance.

    Nathan grasped his hand firmly. “President Alexander… I really appreciate you giving Grace this opportunity.” Alexander nodded. “It was the least I could do.” His gaze softened as he shifted to Grace. “Ms. Grace.” Grace stepped forward, offering a polite nod. “Thank you, Mr. President... for everything.” Alexander smiled warmly. “No need to thank me.” He then crouched slightly, meeting Brian’s curious gaze. “And you must be Brian.” Brian nodded confidently. “Are you the boss where we’re going?” Alexander chuckled. “You could say that. But something tells me you’ll be giving the orders soon enough.” Brian smiled proudly as he clutched his stuffed bear closer. Vanessa stepped forward first, embracing Grace tightly. “Remember... we’re always one call away.” Grace clung tightly like she never wanted to let go. Tears began to stream down from her eyes. “I’ll miss you so much.” Vanessa held her tightly too as she could feel the ache in her chest. "I'll miss you too." B

    Grace moved swiftly as she packed her and Brian’s belongings. She checked every corner of the shared rooms to make sure they were not leaving anything valuable behind. Brian, who was now fully awake and excited, helped in his own way by stuffing his small backpack with his favorite toys, including his favorite stuffed bear. As Grace zipped the last suitcase shut, she felt a presence behind her. Turning, she saw James standing in the doorway. His expression was respectful, but she could see the sorrow in his eyes. The thought of Brian and Grace not being around anymore made his heart ache. “I’ve come to load the bags, ma’am,” James said, trying to hide the pain in his voice. “Thank you, James,” Grace replied warmly, offering him a faint but genuine smile. James immediately took the suitcases and carried them out to the car. He had seen many come and go from the Cloud mansion, but this goodbye felt the most painful.

    “Let me be clear…” he said in a very sharp tone. “This wheelchair…” he paused, glancing at the polished armrest, “…is only temporary.” “I’ve faced death… stared into its cold eyes… and I won.” The room remained deathly silent. “This chair is only a sign of survival.” His voice intensified with a fierce passion. “I will rise even before I am sworn in as President of Prescott.” The hall erupted into murmurs as the reporters scrambled to record his powerful declaration. Nathan’s eyes gleamed with determination as he continued, this time with an icy tone. “To anyone out there questioning my ability to lead because I sit here today… understand this: I, Lord Cloud, will not fall! Not now. Not ever.” The room erupted into thunderous applause as they were inspired by his speech. Some who were shaken by his determination joined in the applause later. Reporters also joined to applaud Nathan. Some stood, overcome with emotion, while others shouted, “Long live Lord Cloud!” and

    The grand Prescott Conference Hall was buzzing with anticipation. Reporters, journalists, and political analysts filled the room with their cameras poised and their microphones ready. The atmosphere was electric, and was filled with curiosity. Today we the day, Lord Cloud said he was going to make his speech after he was attacked by Darius and his men. At the front of the hall, was a polished wooden podium with the emblem of Prescott in it. The double doors at the back of the hall opened, and the room fell into a stunned silence. Nathan Cloud entered, guided by two security aides, with Vanessa walking closely beside him. He was still confined to his wheelchair, but his hard had not reduced even a bit. He wore a tailored gray suit, which made him look indomitable despite his condition. Vanessa, who was wearing an elegant black dress walked directly beside him. Cameras flashed relentlessly as the two made their way toward the stage. Murmurs rippled through the crowd, a lot of
