THE ALMIGHTY LORD CLOUD CHAPTER 121
Jane stood at the center, still smirking, arms crossed as she bathed in the power she thought she had.To her, Steven Harris was just a janitor, nothing more. And Grace? She was a desperate cleaner with no hope."I have an idea," Jane said as her smirk grew wider. Grace knew that whatever she was about to say was nothing good, but she had no other choice but to listen to her."If she wants that cheque so badly, maybe she needs to show just how desperate she really is."Grace, still trembling on the floor, wiped her tear-streaked face with shaky hands.“If you want that cheque, I’ll give it to you. But there’s a price.”Grace’s eyes flicked up to Jane’s, filled with a mixture of hope and fear.“Oh yes,” Jane continued, circling her like a predator would its prey. “I’ll give it to you… if you get down on your knees and clean my shoe with your hair.”The room fell into a stunned silence, and Grace’s breath caught in her throat as she blinked, obviously horrified. Did she really just hear

A tense silence followed, with the other executives shifting uneasily. Jane, however, seemed unimpressed. Soon, she burst into loud, mocking laughter."Oh, Steven," Jane mocked, her arms crossing over her chest as she tilted her head. “I’ve been the Employee of the Year for five years in a row. Do you think some nobody like Grace can take that away from me? Enough of your party tricks.”Nathan remained silent. He didn’t need to respond—he knew what was coming.Grace, still kneeling on the floor, looked up at Nathan with tears in her eyes. She had almost lost hope, as the weight of Jane's words was crushing her spirit. Her body trembled, and she looked like she might collapse under the pressure of it all. Nathan glanced at her and gave a small, reassuring nod.Just then, the door to the lobby swung open, and a tall, well-dressed man entered. His presence immediately commanded attention. It was Mr. Raynolds, carrying the prestigious Employee of the Year award in his hand.The room went

Grace’s eyes were red as she joined her hands in front of her chest.Jane stood with a smirk plastered on her face as she held the Employee of the Year award with satisfaction. The sight of Grace begging her was so satisfying."How pathetic," Jane sneered. “I wish I could help you, Grace, but as I said earlier, I don't know anything about any cheque. I'm sorry I can't help you." Jane said, her voice dripping with false sympathy.Grace’s heart sank further into despair, and her vision blurred as she could no longer hold back her tears.The cheque was her only way to avoid being deported.It was her lifeline. Without it, everything would crumble, including her son's future.Grace felt so desperate that, without thinking, she lunged forward, her trembling hand grabbing at Jane’s wrist.“Please!” Grace’s voice cracked louder this time. “I don’t care about anything else—just give me the cheque! I need it! Please!”Jane yanked her hand back sharply, looking down at Grace as if she were noth

Behind her, Jane watched the scene unfold with a huge smirk playing on her lips.She stepped forward, wanting to add fuel to the fire.“Take her away, officers,” Jane said in a cold and authoritative voice.The officers moved to grab Grace, but she threw herself at Jane’s feet, her fingers trembling as she gripped the hem of her dress.“Please… please, Jane,” Grace’s voice was hoarse, her throat raw from sobbing. “I’ll do anything—just please, don’t let them take me. My son… my son needs me. Don’t do this, please.”Jane looked down at Grace with irritation, and her expression then shifted to a smile as she saw an opportunity to maximize the situation.“Anything?” she repeated, her lips curling into a slow, deliberate smile. “You’ll do anything?”Grace nodded as tears continued to flow from her eyes.“Fine,” Jane said. She crouched down slightly, leaning close to Grace, her eyes gleaming with malice. “Slap him.”Grace blinked, confused, as she turned her tearful eyes toward Jane.“Slap
THE ALMIGHTY LORD CLOUD CHAPTER 125
One of the officers, his voice shaky, took a step forward. “Mrs. Cloud… the law.."“The law?” Vanessa cut him off, her eyes narrowing as if daring him to finish.“I will send someone to your office to sort this out. And you will not, under any circumstances, lay a finger on her. Do I make myself clear?”The weight of Vanessa’s words landed heavily on the officers. They exchanged nervous glances before nodding quickly, backing away from Grace, whose sobs had quieted in shock.“But ma’am, we have—” the second officer began, but Vanessa turned on him with a glare so sharp it could have cut through steel.“I don’t care what you think you have. If you lay a finger on her, you are automatically an enemy of Lord Cloud."The officer immediately swallowed hard as Vanessa used Lord Cloud's name to threaten him. He certainly did not want to become an enemy of Lord Cloud; that was like signing his own death warrant.Vanessa continued, her tone softening slightly. “I will personally ensure that th

“You’re going to learn what it’s like to be treated the way you’ve treated others," Vanessa said, cutting her off. Tears now flowed freely down Jane’s cheeks, and she shook her head in desperation. She looked to Mr. Raynolds, expecting him to defend her, but the minute their eyes met, he lowered his immediately. He knew that speaking up in front of Vanessa would only put him in trouble. Jane would have to carry her cross alone. Jane, seeing no hope in Raynolds' eyes, brought her gaze back to Vanessa. “Please, Mrs. Cloud, I’m begging you. I’ll change, I’ll do anything, just don’t...” “Silence!” Vanessa snapped. “You’re lucky I’m not firing you on the spot. "From now on, you’ll be cleaning the floors, fetching the coffee, and doing other menial jobs. "Maybe then, you’ll learn your place.” Jane fell to her knees, sobbing, her hands clasped together as she pleaded, “Please, I beg you, give me another chance, don’t—” But Vanessa had already turned her back, her focus now
THE ALMIGHTY LORD CLOUD CHAPTER 127
Grace’s breath caught in her throat as she stared at the stack of cash Vanessa was offering her. Her fingers trembled, and she took a small step back, overwhelmed by the magnitude of the cash. She had never held, seen, or even dreamed of having such an amount of money.The rest of the employees watched with shock, and some with jealousy, as Vanessa handed out money that would take them weeks to work for, and Grace was receiving it just like that.“Mrs. Cloud… I can’t,” Grace whispered, shaking her head in disbelief. “This is too much. I… I don’t deserve this. No one has ever given me such an amount of money…”Vanessa's expression softened, and she stepped closer, pressing the money into Grace’s hands. “You do deserve this, Grace. More than anyone in this company. You've endured, worked hard, and you have barely gotten any recognition for it. Even when people like Jane tried to bring you down, you still stood strong."Tears welled up in Grace’s eyes again, and she gripped the money ti

Minutes passed, but it felt like hours to Jane. Her colleagues finally got bored of laughing amongst themselves before moving on. Yet, their words remained with Jane even after they had left.As Jane continued to scrub the floor, she could no longer hold back her tears, and they began to fall, mixing with the soapy water on the tiles. She had always thought she was untouchable, that she could do whatever she wanted and get away with it. But now, she was nothing more than a tale of what happens when you cross Lord Cloud.Jane’s hands trembled in anger as she gripped the mop, her knuckles turning white. The mocking laughter from Erica and her former colleagues was still echoing in her head.She couldn’t stand it any longer. Every step she took, every whisper she overheard, made her heart ache, and her blood boil even more. She felt suffocated, as if she were drowning in the humiliation.She tossed the mop angrily into the bucket and stormed down the hallway, her heart racing with ange

Nathan’s consciousness began to return as a sharp intake of breath filled his lungs. His chest rose violently, his body convulsing like he’d been struck by lightning. Then came the surge which felt like electricity, the force that seemed to awaken every cell in him. Power unlike anything he had ever felt began to course through his veins. It wasn’t just adrenaline; it was something supernatural. Nathan’s fingers twitched, curling into the dirt beneath him. Despite his wounds he felt zero pain. The darkened sky rumbled, thunder cracked, and the atmosphere was heavy as if the heavens themselves were about to witness what was about to happen. Nathan opened his eyes. They gleamed with an intensity they hadn’t held beforebefore, he staggered to his feet, and his fingers curled into a fist. The branch he had clung to was now in pieces beneath him, Nathanglanced upward, and his jaws tightened. Sebastian!!! Nathan didn’t need to think. He planted his foot against the rock wa

Nathan clung desperately onto the branch, he was not just holding onto the branch, he was holding unto it for his dear life, one snap and everything wound be over. Historic shoulders were seriously bleeding and he did not know how much longer he could hold on. His body trembled under the weight of exhaustion and pain, but in his mind he refused to surrender. Not like this. Not today. The branch creaked remindinf him that time was running out. Nathan closed his eyes and he gritted his teeth as he tired to summon the strength to pull himself up. He could hear Sebastian’s cruel laughter above as he mocked him. The so called Almighty Lord Cloud was finally taken down by his own half brother. "Tell your son that his father was a coward..." Nathan’s eyes burned red with determination but his body was too weak. The branch snapped with a sudden, deafening crack, and Nathan fell once again into the abyss. His body slammed against the rocks as he tumbled down the cliff. Eac

Nathan’s body ached, but he forced himself to stand up.There was so much defiance burning in his eyes.Blood trickled down his face, and his shoulder throbbed where Sebastian had driven the lion's tooth.He tired to catch his breath but he knew one thing for sure, he was not going to fall. Sebastian, however, remained unmoved, he stood over Nathan with a grin on his bloodied face. "You really do not know when to quit, do you?" Sebastian taunted him. Nathan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand. "I will never quit," he said in a hoarse voice. "Not until I’ve destroyed you." Sebastian chuckled darkly, he was amused by Nathan's arrogance. "Destroy me?" he repeated mockinghim. "You can’t even stand properly, Lord Cloud." Once again he lunged forward with lightning speed, his fists striking Nathan. Nathan barely managed to block the first blow, but the second punch hit his jaw, and it sent him staggering backward. Sebastian didn’t relent. He clo

The morning sum was rising and everywhere was still except for the crackle of flames from the wrecked vehicles.The sky was filled with smoke and Sabastian glared at Nathan with blood trickling down the side of his face. Yet even in that state, his lips curled into a mocking smile as Nathan finally came to a stop few feet away.Nathan's gun raised and aimed directly at Sebastian's forehead."You should be mourning, Nathan," Sebastian sneered.He knew that his men were able to disarm the bomb at the studium but he saw Vanessa's car go up in flames there was no way she could have survived that."Your wife’s gone. Your child is dead. And here you are, trying to play hero."Nathan's jaw clenched at the mention of his child.He took a step closer, the gun steady in his hand, his eyes blazing with fury. "Vanessa survived," he said. "But my child didn’t. And for that, you will pay—with your life."Sebastian laughed, a very dry and one. "So Vanessa didn't die?"He then paused for a moment."I
CHAPTER 301
Nathan sat in the hospital waiting room, his head buried in his hands. His shirt was still sOaked with his wife's blood, and his heart pounding in his chest. Minutes kind of felt like hours, and every time he heard footsteps, Nathan’s head shot upas he was hoping for answers. Finally, a tall doctor approached him, he had a calm expression but it felt like he was about to set something bad. Nathan stood immediately, his legs unsteady beneath him. “Doctor,” he began, his voice cracking, “how is she? Is she—” “She’s stable,” the doctor said gently. “Your wife is a fighter, Mr. President. She’s going to be okay.” Nathan exhaled deeply, his body sagging with relief. It felt as if a knit in his chest was lossened. “Thank God,” he whispered. His trembling hands moved to his face and he wiped the sweat off his foehead. But the doctor’s expression didn’t change, and Nathan’s heart sank again. “There’s… something else you need to know, ” the doctor said. “What is i
CHAPTER 300
Nathan’s car moved closer to Vanessa's car as the seconds ticked by. His driver kept the pace steady, but Nathan leaned halfway out of the window. The two cars moved side by side, they wereclose enough for Nathan to see the tears on her cheeks, her lips were quivering as she held the wheel.“Vanessa!” he called, his voice thick with desperation. “Stay with me! Listen to me!” She shook her head violently, as she continued to sob. “I can’t,” she mouthed again, her voice was drowned by the sound of the engines. Nathan’s heart twisted painfully. The countdown in his mind was growing louder, and Sebastian’s mocking voice still lingered like poison. Time was running ou, Vanessa has to get out of the car before it explodes. “Vanessa,” he called out against."You have to let go. On the count of three, I want you to jump.” Her eyes widened, fear spilling over into fresh tears. She shook her head, mouthing, No, I can’t. I can’t do it.“Yes, you can!” he said fiercely. “You have to! T
CHAPTER 299
Nathan’s car sped through the streets of Prescott, he was sweating profusely as his mind was racing. The clock was ticking, and Sebastian’s voice echoed in his ears “Choose wisely.”His phone buzzed, jolting him from his thoughts. It was his security chief. “Sir,” the man said urgently, “we’ve manage to track Vanessa’s car. She’s on the move.” Nathan’s chest tightened. “On the move? She wasn’t supposed to move. Send me the GPS coordinates now!” “Understood, sir. Sending them your way.” Moments later, his phone pinged with the location. His eyes scanned the map, and his heart sank. The car was heading toward a major intersection, not far, but not close enough. Nathan barked orders into the intercom. “Get eyes on that car now! I need a visual. And keep the stadium search going. Do not stop until that bomb is found.” “Yes, Mr. President,” he said swiftly. Nathan gripped the steering as he pushed the car to it's limit. His mind replayed Sebastian’s ultimatum over and over.
