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
Nathan looked out the helicopter's windows, his brows furrowed as he observed the dark clouds gathering. They would definitely be in danger if they were hit by a storm while in the air."This doesn't look good," Nathan murmured with a grave expression. "We need to find a safe place to land immediately."The pilot's voice remained calm as he replied, "I'm already scanning the area for the nearest suitable landing site. "There's a hotel complex about ten miles northeast that should be able to accommodate us."Nathan nodded decisively. "Make the emergency landing there. We'll have to wait out the storm and continue our journey tomorrow."The pilot acknowledged Nathan's command and adjusted the helicopter's direction, accelerating toward the hotel's location. As they approached, it became increasingly obvious that a storm was imminent, with bolts of lightning cracking through the darkened sky and the distant rumble of thunder echoing around them.Carefully, the pilot navigated the air
