THE ALMIGHTY LORD CLOUD CHAPTER 234
“You won’t,” she said firmly. “We’ve survived worse. We’ll survive this.” Nathan turned back to the window, his gaze distant. “I hope you’re right.” Suddenly, a faint creak echoed from the hallway. Both of them tensed, their eyes snapping toward the sound. A second later, Grace appeared, her face pale, and her eyes filled with concern. “I heard you talking,” she said quietly. “Is everything… is everything really going to be okay?” Nathan and Vanessa exchanged a glance. Nathan forced a smile. “Everything will be fine, Grace. I promise.” But Grace wasn’t convinced. She stepped closer, her voice trembling. “He’s out there, isn’t he? Darius. He’s out there, and he’s coming for us.” Vanessa moved to her side, wrapping an arm around her. “We’re safe here. The house is secure.” Grace nodded, but her eyes remained locked on Nathan. “I’ve seen firsthand what that wicked man is capable of.” Nathan walked over to her, placing his hands gently on her shoulders. “Listen to me. I
THE ALMIGHTY LORD CLOUD CHAPTER 235
Nathan was filled with strategies and fear long after the conversation with Commissioner Harris, but as it was getting closer to midnight, Vanessa gently urged him to rest. She led him to the bedroom, and Nathan slid into bed, pulling Vanessa into his arms. His hand gently traced her hair, a motion meant to calm her, though he found it soothing himself. “I won’t let anything happen to you,” he whispered against her hair. “No matter what. I’ll protect you, Vanessa. You and Brian. Always.” Vanessa nestled closer, feeling the weight of his promise. “I believe you, Nathan,” she murmured softly. “But you don’t have to carry this alone. We’ll face it together.” Nathan kissed her forehead, allowing her warmth to momentarily eclipse the cold fear gnawing at him. “Together,” he agreed. But in his heart, he knew the burden of protection rested squarely on his shoulders. The house fell completely silent as both of them drifted into sleep. But Nathan could barely rest, as he could sti
THE ALMIGHTY LORD CLOUD CHAPTER 236
"Lord Cloud, it's Commissioner Harris. There has been an explosion at the Cloud Hotel. One of the rooms went up in flames, and now the entire building is on fire. Firefighters are on the scene, but the fire’s spreading very fast.” Nathan felt his pulse quicken, his blood running cold at the mention of the hotel. He barely heard the rest of the officer’s words, his thoughts already racing. The Cloud Hotel wasn’t just a business. It was the foundation of the Cloud family legacy, a testament to everything they had built. It was a symbol of their influence, their history. It was one of the most important businesses his father had handed over to him. To see it reduced to ashes... His mind snapped into focus, and before Harris could say another word, Nathan was already on his feet. “I’m coming. I'll be there shortly,” Nathan's voice was sharp. And underneath it, he was furious. Without waiting for Harris to respond, he ended the call. He glanced toward the stairs, his he

Nathan’s mind was racing, and he could barely contain his rage. He could feel the heat from the fire on his skin, and it was as hot as the rage bubbling inside him. His gaze locked onto the hotel, watching as firefighters scrambled, knowing it was only a matter of time before the entire structure crumbled to ash. Then, suddenly, Nathan’s phone buzzed in his pocket. The screen lit up with an unfamiliar number. Nathan didn’t hesitate. He pulled it from his coat, his fingers trembling as he answered the call. Nathan could hear his heart pounding. Who could it be? The voice on the other end made his blood run cold. “Well, well, Lord Cloud, I hope you like my little gift.” Darius's voice was dripping with mockery. Nathan could tell he was amused. His jaw clenched at the sound of his voice. Nathan’s grip on the phone tightened so much that his knuckles turned white. His gaze flickered back toward the hotel; he could barely control his anger at this point. How could som

What Darius did not know was that once Nathan realized he was the one on the phone, he signaled his men, and they connected to his phone, tracking his location.“Sir,” Marcus began, his voice low and respectful. “We’re working on it. Darius’s location is encrypted. Our tech team says it will take a couple of hours to trace it.”Nathan didn’t turn immediately. His eyes remained fixed on the hotel."A couple of hours..." Nathan repeated softly, then he turned to face Marcus. “Then make sure you find him. I don’t care what it takes. I want his location, and when you have it…” His voice dropped to a cold, lethal whisper. “…we take him down.”Darius thought he was smart, but Nathan was going to prove to him that he was smarter.Marcus nodded. “Yes, sir. We’ll notify you the moment we have his location.”Nathan gave a curt nod, his mind already racing with possibilities. But there was no hesitation in his decision.He would not wait in the shadows, letting Darius dictate the terms.He was L
THE ALMIGHTY LORD CLOUD CHAPTER 239
The atmosphere inside Nathan’s estate was thick with tension.In the command room, his team worked relentlessly to break through Darius’s encryption, the quiet buzz of activity underscoring the urgency. Each passing second felt like an eternity.Marcus hurried from the command room to Nathan’s study, not bothering to knock. He burst inside.“Sir,” he began, his voice steady but urgent, “we’ve found him. We traced Darius’s location to the docks on the outskirts of the city.”Nathan’s eyes snapped to Marcus. “Are you certain?”Marcus nodded. “Yes, sir. The signal is strong, and the coordinates match intercepted communications. He’s there.”Nathan didn’t hesitate. “Good.” His voice was resolute. “Assemble the team. We’re moving now.”Marcus gave a curt nod and turned to relay the orders. Within moments, the estate was buzzing with activity. Men in tactical gear armed themselves, checking weapons and communications.Vanessa entered the room, her eyes searching Nathan’s face. “You found hi
THE ALMIGHTY LORD CLOUD CHAPTER 240
Back at the Cloud mansion the atmosphere was quiet, in fact too quiet. Vanessa stood by the large bay window in the sitting room, with a cup of team in her hand She watched the driveway below, a faint smile on her lips. Nathan would return soon. He will confront Darius and win and their lives would give back to normal, peace would once again return to their hom. She could not wait to see that happen. She glanced at her phone, no messages from Grace yet. Grace had left earlier to pick up Brian from school, and they were due back any minute. Her fingers tightened around the cup as she stared outside. The estate’s gates outside was manned by two security posts manned by Nathan’s men. Everything seemed in order, but she still felt uneasy. Suddenly, the house’s security system beeped. Vanessa frowned, setting down her cup. She walked over to the control panel, her fingers hovering over the screen. Movement detected.Her heart skipped a beat. Movement on the east side. Vanessa ta
THE ALMIGHTY LORD CLOUD CHAPTER 241
Vanessa’s breath came in ragged gasp as Harris half-carried, her down the passage. The walls pressed in around them, and every footstep seemed louder in the omnious silence. The secret corridor leading toward the east wing where the safe room was a bit narrow.The safe room would protect them from Darius men because it was reinforced with not only steel but also concrete. “Almost there,” Harris murmured, his voice a quiet reassurance despite the fear etched on his face. Vanessa’s heart pounded in her chest.Time was running out! Behind them, the sounds of Darius’s men echoing through the mansion grew louder—boots striking marble, furniture overturned, doors kicked in. They were searching and tearing through each room. “Vanessa…” Darius’s voice called out again, smooth, confident, and closer. Harris glanced over his shoulder, his grip tightening on Vanessa’s arm. “Keep moving, ma’am. Don’t look back.” But Vanessa’s gaze flicked to the darkness behind them, dread clawing

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

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 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

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.
