THE ALMIGHTY LORD CLOUD CHAPTER 253
Grace hesitated for a moment as everyone turned toward her, they were curious to hear what she was about to say. She took a deep breath before she stepped closer to Nathan’s bed. Her voice trembled when she began. "I know this might not be the right time..." she said softly, her gaze flickering between Nathan and Vanessa. "But I’ve been holding onto it for far too lonf, and after everything that has happened tonight, I… I realize I can’t keep it to myself anymore, you all have to know." Vanessa tilted her head slightly, and her brows furrowed as she studied Grace. She had noticed the changes in her demeanor over the past few days and it all started the night of the party after she met President Alexander. Nathan, still weak but ever attentive, gave her an encouraging nod. "Go on, Grace," he said gently. "What’s on your mind?" Grace was fidgeting as she glanced down at Brian, who was holding her tightly to her side. The little boy’s wide eyes seemed to give her th

lGrace, Brian, Bianca, and James eventually left the hospital. Grace glanced back once before they exited, her eyes met with Vanessa’s eyes who still remained by Nathan’s bedside. Nathan reached for Vanessa’s hand as the door closed. "You should go with them," he murmured. "It’s been a long day, and you need rest too." Vanessa shook her head, her dark hair framing her face as she sat by his bed. "I’m not going anywhere," she replied firmly. "Not while you’re like this." Nathan sighed, his lips curving into a small, weary smile. "You’re stubborn, you know that?" Vanessa arched an eyebrow. "Is that not why you married me?" Despite his exhaustion, Nathan chuckled softly. "Fine," he said. "Stay. But only if you promise not to hover like a mother hen." Vanessa smirked. "No promises." The ride back home was quiet. Grace sat in the passenger seat beside Bianca, her mind swirling with a thousand thoughts of what her new life would be like. Brian had fallen asleep in t

Nathan laid in his hospital room and sunlight streamed through the large windows. Mathan sat uncomfortablly in the wheelchair, he had argued with the doctors severally about the wheel chair but they reminded him that it was important to aid his recovery. His face was still pale, though he looked far stronger than he was before. His dark eyes, sharp with determination, reflected the unyielding spirit that had carried him through every battle he’d ever faced — including this one. Vanessa stood beside him, her hand resting protectively on his shoulder. Her expression was calm, but her fingers tightened slightly when she noticed how Nathan shifted uncomfortably in the wheel chair, he clearly hated the restraint. “Doctor’s orders,” she reminded him gently. She knew he was still going to complain. Nathan exhaled a resigned breath. “I hate this thing.” “It’s temporary,” she reassured him, brushing back a strand of hair from his forehead and Nathaniel scoffed, it felt a

Nathan rolled his wheelchair by himself up the stone path leading to the grand entrance of the Cloud mansion. He lifted his eyes to the tall building before him, it was as if the glory of the Cloud mansion had been fully restored. Every brick, every stone seemed perfectly restored, as if the violent siege led by Darius had never happened. Yet, as Nathan rolled forward, the memory of the destruction flooded his mind. The shattered windows, the broken chandelier, the echos of gunfire still haunted him. Nathan clenched the wheelchair’s armrests, as the memories floods his mind. Vanessa walked quietly beside him and her hand rested lightly on his shoulder, she offered Nathan comfort without saying anything. Grace held Brian’s small hand as they approached the entrance. Brian's wide eyes sparkled as he gazed at the newly restored mansion. “We’re really back home,” Brian mummured in awe. As they entered they noticed the marble floors was shining moee than ever,

Nathan’s voice softened, his eyes glistening. “And I’ll miss you too. More than you know. But we’ll see each other again... I promise.” Vanessa’s throat tightened as she watched the quiet exchange. She reached across the table, her hand covering Grace’s trembling fingers. “I'm glad you've finally made up your mind l, but this house will not be the same without you and Brian.” Vanessa asked gently. “You’ll both be so far away...” Grace nodded, her gaze steady but filled with emotion. “I'm going to miss you and Nathan too, but I have to this." Nathan exhaled slowly, forcing down the heaviness in his chest. “You have my full support, Grace,” he said. His voice rough but he was sincerely happy for her. Tears welled up in Grace’s eyes at Nathan’s rare words of affirmation. She bit her lip s she struggled to keep her emotions in check. “Thank you,” she whispered. “For everything.” The house was quiet again and the mandion was still. Grace stood outside on the grand terrace,

The room was still alive with laughter and joy. Grace wiped tears from her cheeks and she clutched the delicate star pendant around her neck.As the celebration began to settle into quiet conversations, Bianca gently tapped a spoon against her glass, drawing everyone's attention.“Before we wrap this up,” Bianca said, her voice filled with emotion, “there’s someone very special who couldn’t be here today... but he insisted on joining us.”Grace’s breath caught as Bianca gestured toward the large screen on the wall. Suddenly, the screen lit up, revealing Nathan, seated in a wheelchair in his spacious study at the Cloud mansion. He wore a tailored blazer despite his seated position, exuding his usual commanding presence, although his expression was softer than usual.“Hello, everyone,” Nathan’s deep voice resonated through the room and everywhere became still immediately, His eyes held a spark of warmth as they met Grace eyes she was almost in tears from the overwhelming emotions.

“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

Starview was Novida's most prestigious school, attended by children of politicians and celebrities from around the world. 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. In the living room, Nathan sat in his wheelchair nea

“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
