THE ALMIGHTY LORD CLOUD CHAPTER 224
His deep, commanding voice carried an unexpected kindness. “I hope I’m not intruding.” Grace swallowed hard, her throat suddenly dry. “Not at all, Mr. President,” she managed, her voice steadier than she felt. “It’s an honor to meet you.” Alexander smiled, his sharp eyes scanning her from head to toe. “The honor is mine. I’ve heard quite a bit about you.” Grace blinked, taken aback. “Me?” she asked, her voice rising slightly in surprise. President Alexander had heard about Grace? She tried her best to maintain her composure, but she could not hide the fact that she was surprised. He nodded, a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips. “Yes, you. Lord Cloud speaks highly of you, and your story is indeed remarkable.” Grace felt the heat rise to her cheeks. President Alexander had just complimented her! She wanted to scream off the roof, but she held herself in place. “Thank you,” she said softly. “But I’ve only ever done what I needed to survive and support my f

As the grand celebration began to come to an end, the echoes of laughter and clinking glasses filled the room. Nathan stood near the center, shaking hands and exchanging final words with the members of the Global Triad, whose presence lent even greater significance to the evening. Alexander was among the last to bid farewell, his handshake firm as he looked Nathan in the eye. “Congratulations once again, Lord Cloud,” he said. “I wish you the very best in your new role as the President of Prescott.” “Thank you, Alexander,” Nathan replied with a small smile. As Alexander departed, Isabella and Rajesh joined Nathan, their expressions warm with pride. “It was such a pleasure to get her here once more,” Isabella said. Rajesh added, “I know you will have many battles ahead, Lord Cloud, but you are the strongest leader I know, and I know that you will lead Prescott to success.” Nathan shook their hands in gratitude before they, too, bid their goodbyes, leaving him with his fami

The following morning arrived and the soft through the large windows of the Cloud residence. The maids worked diligently, sweeping away the remnants of last night’s celebration.They cleaned up the discarded napkins, empty glasses, scattered confetti amf all other trash from the compound.In the kitchen, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air, , mixing with the sizzling sounds of bacon and eggs that was being prepared for breakfast. The table was set with golden pancakes stacked high with a dollop of butter melting on top, crispy bacon, eggs scrambled to perfection, and a variety of fruit, juicy orange slices, vibrant strawberries, and sweet pineapple. The fresh scent of toasted bread mingled with the warmth of the morning, and the entire house felt like it was taking a collective sigh of relief after the excitement of the previous day.At the breakfast table, Brian was already seated, his small hands eagerly reaching for the food, his eyes were wide with hunger and he wa

The morning sun became brighter, and as Nathan finished the last sip of his coffee, he set the cup down on the white tablecloth. He cleared his throat, capturing everyone’s attention. “I have a press conference today,” he began. “It’s my first as the President-elect, and I’d like all of you to be there.” Vanessa’s face lit up with excitement. “Of course, Nathan. We wouldn’t miss it for anything.” Brian’s eyes widened as he looked up from his nearly empty plate. He had been barely paying attention to what the adults were discussing as he devoured his food, but once he was done, they had his full attention. “A press conference? Will Ella be there?” Ella was one of the friends Brian had played with last night. They had a good time trying different food, and she showed him all the expensive toys she had. He was more than eager to meet Ella again. Nathan chuckled at Brian's enthusiasm. “Yes, Brian. She will be there. But don't get too distracted, okay?” Brian nodded vig

Grace glanced at him, her face still lit up with smiles for the camera. “Not now, Brian,” she said firmly but quietly. “But, Mommy—” “No,” she interrupted, her tone sharper this time. Brian's face fell for a moment, but determination sparked in his wide eyes. He tugged her hand again, more insistent. “Please, Mommy. I won’t go far, I promise. I just want to say hi. Please?” The thought of letting him wander, even for a moment, filled her with dread. But with the cameras snapping and the weight of their public image pressing on her shoulders, she reluctantly relented. “Alright,” she finally gave in. She knelt down to Brian’s level, gripping his shoulders gently but firmly. “But you must stay where I can see you at all times, do you understand? And when I call you, you must come back immediately.” Brian’s face lit up like a sunrise. “I promise, Mommy!” She nodded, releasing his hand and watching him dart toward Ella with uncontained excitement. “Ella! Ella!” he calle

The words hit her like a blow.She could feel Vanessa’s eyes on her instantly, sharp with curiosity and concern. Nathan’s expression barely shifted, but she knew him well enough to recognize the subtle tightening of his jaw. Grace’s lips parted, but no sound came out. She couldn’t lie, but she couldn’t tell the truth either. Vanessa broke the silence. “What conversation?” she asked. Alexander, sensing Grace’s demeanor, could tell the question made her very uncomfortable. And from Vanessa and Nathan’s reaction, he realized that she had not told them yet. Maybe Grace didn’t want them to know yet. He couldn’t be the one to break the news to them. Alexander was a very intelligent man, so he decided to play along. “Ah,” he said smoothly, waving a hand dismissively. “It’s nothing. Just a minor matter.” Vanessa didn’t look convinced. Her eyes flicked between Alexander and Grace, her suspicion growing. Grace had been acting oddly since last night when she met Alexander.

The grand hall exuded opulence.It had a very beautiful ceilings with intricate chandeliers. Rows of chairs which were perfextly arranged was filled with diplomats, corporate figures, and the press. The hum of whispered conversations filled the air as the attendees settled patiently waiting for Nathan's address. The Cloud family took their seats at the front, reserved for dignitaries. Nathan sat at the center, his confident posture a testament to the authority he carried. Vanessa was on his right, while Grace and Brian sat on his left. Brian sat confidently in his seat, swinging his legs while Grace sat stiffly, and her thoughts elsewhere. Alexander’s card in her purse made it feel as if it was heavy. His words echoed in her mind: “Make sure it’s for the right reasons.”Nathan stood as the lights dimmed slightly, signaling the start of the event. The murmur of the crowd subsided as all eyes turned to him. He approached the podium with the composure. “Ladies and gentlemen,” he

“President-elect Cloud,” she began, her voice tinged with curiosity, “your campaign emphasized unity, which we really need now after a period of political division." "What concrete steps will you take to bridge the gap between oppositions and ensure that there is peace?" Nathan’s face softened slightly as the question touched him deeply. She was right, especially after the scandal with Darius. “Unity...” he said, his tone more personal, “requires empathy, and my administration will make sure that people from opposite parties, especially those who are willing to work together, are given the chance to. We have only one country, and there is no need to divide it." “We will also make sure that those who have been wronged in any way by the previous administration are compensated immediately. Prescott must move forward, and no one will be left behind." He paused, looking directly at the reporter. “Unity is not about erasing differences. It’s about recognizing them, respecting th

Nathan was breathing heavily as he stood at the edge of the cliff. His fists were clenched as blood streaked down his face. He felt triumphamt like a warrior who had just w on the greatest battle.

For the son who never even got the chance to live. But it was time to go home. Nathan burst through the doors of the clinic the doctors and onlookers watched him with awe as he looked like someonw who had gone to gone to battle the devil in hell and won.

But he had to be strong, especially for her, for
CHAPTER 305
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
CHAPTER 304
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
CHAPTER 303
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
CHAPTER 302
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.
