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 but also humiliated our entire family." "Guards!!!" Grandfather Wilson called out but before the guards could show up the doors of the Hall burst open once again. "The Cloud family representatives are here!" Someone announced capturing everyone's attention. The room fell silent, and all eyes turned toward the entrance. A procession of elegantly dressed women entered, each bearing opulent gifts that left everyone in awe. One lady presented seventy gold bars. Another unveiled an ancient jade artifact worth millions of dollars. Key to a mansion were offered, along with a briefcase containing $50 million in cash. Three sets of car keys to Rolls Royce vehicles, and many more. The entire family was astonished at the magnitude of luxury displayed before them. Victoria, Claire's mother, gasped audibly at the sight of fifty gold bars being presented, just one gold bar was worth over one million dollars! She exchanged bewildered glances with Cynthia, who was equally taken aback by the ancient jade artifact and the keys to a mansion. Liam was equally stunned, his gestures were completely overshadowed by the lavish gifts. His earlier boast about the $2 billion contract seemed trivial compared to the tangible wealth now on display, Nathan stood quietly, observing the scene with a subtle smirk. One of the ladies then stepped forward "The Almighty Lord Nathan wishes you Mr. Wilson a very happy birthday!" Nathan's smirk widened slightly as he watched the family's reaction unfold before him. "Wow! Such lavish gifts are really for the Wilson family?" Grandfather Wilson exclaimed, his eyes wide with astonishment as she gazed at the fifty gold bars gleaming under the lightlight. Who was he that the Almighty Lord Nathan sent him presents? Grandfather Wilson could not contain his excitement and gratitude. Liam was speechless and he began to lose his composure. Nathan folded his arms and declared boldly "These gifts are from me" Nathan's words echoed through the hall, His statement hung in the air, heavy with disbelief and awe. Grandfather Wilson, seated at the head of the room, stared at Nathan with a mixture of astonishment and confusion. "From You?" Grandfather Wilson finally managed to utter, his voice barely more than a whisper. "That's right, as I said earlier, these are the birthday gifts I have prepared," Nathan said. The room fell into a hushed silence as everyone watched Nathan in disbelief. "These gifts are from Lord Cloud himself and it has nothing to do with you," Ivan said suddenly pointing a finger at Nathan. "It had nothing to do with me?" Nathan repeated. "Yes!" Ivan retorted "If you could afford such expensive gifts then why have you been living as a burden to our family for the past three years?" "Then how do you explain how these gifts came about" Cynthia asked out of curiosity. "It is certainly because of Liam, out of everyone here, he is the only one that has a close relationship with Lord Cloud." Ivan declared. Liam, sensing an opportunity, stepped forward with a confident smirk. "That's right. I arranged for these gifts as a favor from Lord Cloud. After all, he and I share a special bond," he said, his voice dripping with false humility. "You see... Nathan how dare you try to steal credit for these beautiful gifts, do you think because coincidentally your last name is Cloud, you can associate yourself with the most powerful family in Prescott, you're nothing but a worthless trash!" Cynthia spat at Nathan. "Thank you so much, Liam, you've done so much for our family, I so much wish you were our son-in-law" Grandfather Wilson thanked Liam wholeheartedly, Liam bowed as he basked in the attention. Nathan's temper flared as he witnessed Liam's act "How convenient of you Liam," Liam said, his voice laced with sarcasm "And Grandfather, why are you easily fooled by this fake?" He said glaring at Liam, who was shaking inside but he maintained his composure, he could not afford to be caught at this point. "Nathan!!!" Claire exclaimed as she grabbed Nathan by his arm, as she tried to call him to order, Nathan was going too far. "Stop this nonsense and apologize to Grandpa at once!" But Nathan bluntly refused "You don't know what is going on, this man here is an imposter!" Without warning, Claire's hand flew through the air in an attempt to slap Nathan across the face. Nathan, however, caught her hand in midair, stopping the slap just inches from his cheek. Nathan looked softly into Claire’s eyes, his grip firm but gentle. "Claire, please, you have to trust me," he pleaded, his voice calm yet earnest. "I’m not making this up. Liam is deceiving all of you." "What about you, Nathan?" Claire's voice trembled with anger. Nathan met her gaze with determination in his eyes as he let go of her hand "What have I done?" "What have you not done?" Claire's eyes blazed with fury "For the past year, you claimed you lost your memories and I cared for you like a child and now you claim to be the legendary Lord Cloud? Don't you have any shame at all?" Nathan's eyes flickered with a mixture of pain and resolve as Claire's words hit him like a barrage of bullets, Liam was wearing a smirk as Claire continued "After warning you not to embarrassarras us at this party, you still go ahead and cause a scene! I have given you multiple chances yet you continue to disappoint me, WHY?!" The weight of Claire's accusation hung heavy in the air. Nathan stood silent, the hurt evident in his eyes as he struggled to find the right words. "I no longer have any expectations from you," Claire said softly, her voice tinged with resignation. "Let's.." She paused for a moment as she stared deeply into Nathan's eyes before dropping the bomb "get a divorce" Nathan’s eyes widened, the shock evident on his face. For a moment, the entire room seemed to freeze in place.

Nathan’s voice trembled as he repeated the word, "Divorce?" His eyes were filled with sorrow. From the day he married Claire, he had done nothing but love and support her, and now she wanted to divorce him. The room buzzed with whispers, the family members exchanging glances. They were happy that finally Claire was getting rid of the burdensome son-in-law. Meanwhile, Liam's smirk widened at the word. "Divorce." With Nathan out of the way, there was nothing stopping him from marrying Claire; he already had the support of the other family members. Claire continued, her voice cold and resolute. "In just three years, our family has changed a lot and we have become one of the prominent families in Prescott, but you, however, despite regaining your memories, remained the same. Useless! Arrogant! And incapable of doing anything. You've always been a burden to me and our family, and I can no longer tolerate you." Nathan let out a sad laugh, but one could still hear the pain in his voic

"Ma, are we still going to support Nathan now that the Vice President of the Cloud Corporation is here? We could get into trouble if he is caught impersonating him," Vanessa's personal assistant whispered into Vanessa's ear, fearing trouble with the Cloud Corporation. But Vanessa stood her ground. "All that matters is we get him to join us." The Wilson family thought Bianca felt insulted when they sent the servant to welcome them. Immediately, they all rushed forward, bowing their heads apologetically with Grandfather Wilson taking the lead. "I'm very sorry, Miss Bianca. Welcome to the Wilson family. With you in our midst, our family will definitely succeed and prosper." "The Wilson family prosper?" Miss Bianca repeated. "Of course," Victoria answered. "It's all thanks to my daughter, Claire. She is a rising businesswoman in Prescott, and she will make the Wilson family good enough to partner with the Cloud Corporation." "Claire?" Miss Bianca asked. "Everything your family

"Yes! Miss Bianca he called over was a fake! There's no way he could be Lord Cloud! I have met Lord Nathan and his Vice president personally and they look nothing like him" Liam continued to lie and the Wilson family fell fir this lies once again. "That rascal, how dare him!" Victoria said through gritted teeth. "So it was really all a scheme?" Ivan said. "I've always suspected him since the day he started to act like a child, he must have been preparing for this day and conspired with some paid actors" "Those gifts are worth millions of dollars, Nathan knew that we would kick him out so he wanted the gifts for himself, and now he has taken away those gifts worth millions of dollars" Claire added bitterly. "We cannot let it slide we must deal with Nathan at all cost!" Claire said she couldn't believe that she was almost fooled by Nathan's display. Nathan's convoy of black SUVs came to a stop at Nathan's command. "Lord Nathan, any problem?" Bianca, seated beside the dri

The manager furrowed his brow, eyeing Nathan with a mix of skepticism and curiosity. "It seems your card isn't working, sir. If you truly are Lord Cloud, you should be able to access this area without any issue." Nathan frowned, his mind racing. Something must have changed in the hotel’s security system without his knowledge. He decided to remain composed, knowing that losing his temper would only escalate the situation. "There must be a mistake. This card has always granted me access." Nathan said wearing a confused look. The bodyguard crossed his arms, a smug look on his face. "Sure, sure. Everyone's got an excuse. Why don't you just admit you're trying to scam your way in here and save us all some time?" Nathan took a deep breath, trying to remain calm. "There must be an issue with the security system," Nathan said calmly. "This card has never failed to grant me access before. Perhaps there have been some changes in the security system" "Yes, the systems were upgraded and

Nathan turned his attention to the manager, who stood trembling before him. The manager quickly bowed his head, his voice quivering as he spoke. "L-Lord Cloud, I humbly apologize for the misunderstanding. I had no idea it was truly you. Please, accept my deepest apologies for the way you were treated," Nathan regarded the manager with a measured gaze, his expression inscrutable. After a moment of tension-filled silence, he spoke. "Apologies are only as good as the actions that follow them. Ensure this never happens again. I expect the highest level of professionalism from my staff, especially in places that hold significant value to me and my family." The manager nodded vigorously, relief evident on his face. "Of course, Lord Cloud. I will make sure that this does not repeat itself." Nathan nodded slightly, accepting the manager's promise. "Here is your new VIP card, sir," Bianca said, handing over the gold-embellished card. Nathan took it, swiping the card, and the door swung

Nathan scoffed and said, "What do you mean? This is the Celestial Resort and not the Wilson's mansion, or is the Celestial Resort not somewhere I can visit?"Nathan placed his two hands in his pockets as he wore a confident look which seemed to enrage the Wilson family even more.Nathan should even be asking the Wilson family what they were doing here.The entire hotel was shut down because of the meeting he had with the Global Triad.As the country's largest and most exclusive hotel, the Celestial Resort was a favored gathering place for politicians and influential figures from around the world."Don't play dumb with me, you fool!" Ivan cursed, infuriated by Nathan's confidence.How could someone be so confident after stealing gifts worth millions of dollars?Nathan should be somewhere hiding off as the thief and liar he is."You think we don't know what you did last night?" Grandfather Wilson said, pointing his stick furiously at Nathan."What I did last night?" Nathan asked with a

"You never cease to stop spilling nonsense, Nathan," Grandfather Wilson said."Tonight the Global Triad, which consists of the three most powerful presidents in the world, will be meeting with Lord Cloud in this very same hotel. They are going to deliberate and announce their first key partner in Prescott, and that is going to be us," Ivan said, gesturing to the Wilson family."Oh, the Global Triad is here?" Nathan decided to play along with them like he did not know, meanwhile, the entire hotel was shut down because of him."Yes, the entire Celestial Resort was put on lockdown because of this meeting, and it was due to Liam's influence that we were granted access as important guests to meet with Lord Cloud firsthand. With this opportunity, we will be able to gain the favor of Lord Cloud and reach the top faster than anyone has ever done."Nathan looked frustrated at the family's ignorance. "There's no need to keep telling me about the Global Triad. Of course, I know that they are he

"I've told you times without numer that the gifts were from me but you did not believe me, but Liam never said a word and you believed it was from him" Nathan paused for a moment ad diverted his attention to Claire"I'm so disappointed in all of you especially Claire, you can't even distinguish between right and wrong"Ivan immediately interjected "Talking this lunatic is pointless, he must have been pretending to be unwell for the past year I order to gain our pity amd attention, and now he has stolen gifts worth million of naira from us, a pauper like him would never return the gifts, because he knows he would never see such money in his life, why then would he return it?"The family nodded in agreement to Ivan's words Claire couldn't believe that she had taken care of him for the past year not knowing he was just pretending, Victoria only wished she had gotten rid of him sooner. "How dare you think of keeping such viffts, do you know the consequences of doing so?" Victoria said a

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.

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.

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 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

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.
