Nathan had barely finished speaking to Vanessa when the sound of small footsteps rapidly approached them.“Nathan! My hero!” Brian’s excited voice rang out as he came bolting out of the house.Nathan turned around and crouched just in time to catch the boy in his arms. “Brian!” he exclaimed, lifting him effortlessly. Brian beamed at him, his face glowing with admiration. “I saw you on TV! You stopped the bad man! You’re the best hero ever!” Nathan chuckled, his lips curving into a warm smile. “You’re like a real superhero! You saved everyone!” Nathan’s chest tightened at the boy’s words, but before he could respond, Grace’s voice followed swiftly behind. “Brian!” she called, rushing out of the house. She was slightly out of breath, a dish towel clutched in one hand. “What have I told you about running outside like that? You could have tripped!” Brian clung to Nathan’s shoulder, giggling. “I was just so excited, Mom!” Grace sighed, but her frustration melted away as she l
As Nathan returned to the dining room, the aroma of Vanessa’s cooking filled the air. Brian was still filled with so much excitement. Nathan smiled as he took his seat at the head of the table, his usual spot, with Vanessa seated on his right and Grace on his left. Brian, of course, had claimed the seat right beside Nathan, his small hands resting on the edge of the table as he practically bounced with excitement. “Brian, slow down,” Grace said with a laugh as the boy reached for his glass of juice. “But, Mom! I want to tell Nathan about school!” Brian protested, turning to Nathan with eager eyes. “Today, we talked about heroes in class! I told everyone about you!” Nathan paused, his fork midway to his mouth, and chuckled softly. “Oh, you did, did you?” Brian nodded enthusiastically, his eyes wide with excitement. “Yeah! I said you’re the best hero ever! Some of the kids didn’t believe me, but then Mrs. Peterson said she saw you on TV, and she said you’re a hero too!”
At a private hospital, the quiet hum of machines and the murmur of nurses filled the air. Bianca stepped out of her car; she was dressed in a sharp, tailored suit. She had come back to the hospital to visit Sarah, the brave little girl who had endured so much. Nathan had given her the best treatment possible. She was in the best hospital in the country and attended to by the best doctors in the world. As she approached the pediatric ward, Bianca spotted Sarah’s father pacing anxiously near the doorway. The moment he caught sight of her, his face lit up, and he rushed toward her with a mix of relief and gratitude. “Ms. Bianca!” he exclaimed, extending his hand. His voice was thick with emotion. “I… I don’t even know where to begin. Thank you for coming. Thank you for… everything.” Bianca took his hand firmly but kindly. “No need to thank me. It’s the least I could do. Lord Cloud sends his regards and asked me to personally check on Sarah.” At the sound of voices, a soft, fra
The grand Prescott Hall was packed with people. Journalists tried to find the best positions with their cameras and microphones. The air buzzed with anticipation; people were intrigued but, at the same time, skeptical. Whispers filled the room as everyone speculated about the announcement from Raymond Locke, a rising figure from the remnants of Darius Royal's disgraced political party. The lights dimmed, and a spotlight illuminated the stage. Raymond Locke appeared, dressed in a sharp navy suit. His demeanor exuded confidence as he stepped to the podium. He raised his hands as he acknowledged the crowd. “Ladies and gentlemen of Prescott,” he began. “Today marks the beginning of a new chapter for our great city and nation.” The crowd quieted, as all their attention was focused on him. The cameras of the reporters fluttered incessantly as they tried to capture every moment. “For years,” Locke continued, “we have witnessed the rise of a single figure—Nathan Cloud—who has
Nathan arrived at the Wilson family house holding a bouquet of rose flowers in his hands, today makes it three years since he got married to Claire. Nathan was brimming with excitement as he could not wait to surprise her with the flowers and now that he has regained his memories he was going to reveal his identity to Claire today as their anniversary gift and apologize for all the troubles he had caused her this past year. he was certain that their relationship would become stronger once he reveals his true identity to her. Nathan stood at the front door, his heart pounding with anticipation. As he was about to ring the doorbell, a sleek, white car gently pulled up in the driveway.The engine purred to a stop and Nathan's brow furrowed in confusion as the driver's door opened, and a well-dressed man stepped out. The man quickly made his way to the passenger's side, and Nathan's heart sank as Claire emerged from the vehicle. "Claire?" Nathan's voice was a mix of anger and confusi
Liam then suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter was filled with disbelief and mockery as if he couldn't fathom the audacity of Nathan's claim. "How dare you think of impersonating Lord Cloud? You must be out of your mind, Nathan. Do you even realize the consequences of such a claim? I have seen Lord Cloud in person and you look nothing like him" Vanessa's face contorted with anger as she turned to Nathan, If Lord Cloud heard that someone from the Wilson family dared to impersonate him, their family might not get the investment even worse he might wipe out their entire family! The Almighty Lord Cloud was not someone to joke with. "You fool! Lord Cloud is not someone you can just impersonate. If he finds out, he could destroy everything we've worked so hard to build. Why do you keep bringing disgrace to our family?" Nathan remained stoic, his voice firm. "I am not impersonating anyone. I am Lord Cloud." But no one was taking him seriously, how could he be Lord Cloud when
"Everyone else brought a gift for Grandfather, how about you? What have you brought?" Ivan continued. "Ivan, there's no need for that" Claire interjected before Nathan could speak. "There's no need for you to take his side, today is Grandpa's birthday and yet he dares to show up empty handed, this man has no respect for Grandpa at all! You don't deserve to be here!" The whole family agreed with Ivan as they continued to look at Nathan with disdain. "I have arranged for someone to deliver the birthday present, it will be delivered shortly," Nathan said firmly. Ivan stood up and circled James, stopping in front of him with a wide grin plastered across his face "Ohh, so you've gotten someone to do that for you, let me guess your colleagues from the mental hospital?" The whole family burst into laughter but Nathan stood his ground, his gaze unwavering despite the ridicule. "The gifts I have asked to be brought here are ten times more expensive than all of the gifts here brou
"I can't help but laugh at your ignorance and Liam's audacity," Nathan said, pointing directly at Liam. Liam took a step forward, fists clenched as he glared at Nathan "And what is that supposed to mean?" "You keep bragging that you know me and now you claim that you got this project as a result of your relationship with me, but I have never met you until yesterday" Liam chuckled in Nathan's face "You still have the guts to claim that you're Lord Nathan, the business legend?" He then turned to face Grandfather Wilson, "Well, Mr. Wilson I guess all I have done here is unnecessary, since the Almighty Lord Nathan is in your family, there's no need for the 2 billion dollar contract," Liam said before letting go of the contract document in his hands and it dropped to the floor. Grandfather Wilson could no longer control his anger at this point "How dare you make such outrageous claims, Nathan!" His voice thundered as his face flushed with anger. "You've not only disrespected me
