The inauguration event finally drew to a close and dignitaries began to leave one by one. The gardens were still buzzing with soft conversations and the clinking of glasses as the evening wound down.Not long later, Nathan was escorted to the Presidential convoy. The convoy was heavily surrounded by security, and they were ready to transport him to the Presidential Villa, a place that would be their home for the next four years. Grace and Brian, standing nearby, watched as Nathan and Vanessa made their way to the lead car. Nathan turned and beckoned to them. “Come along,” he said, his voice warm, “You’re family.” Brian’s eyes lit up, and he grinned, holding tightly to his mother’s hand as they followed. The convoy rolled through the streets of the capital and citizens were cheering for their new President.Finally, they arrived at the grand gates of the Presidential Villa. Nathan’s car came to a stop in front of the villa’s main entrance.The sight that greeted them was noth

A few weeks later, Nathan and Vanessa were already getting used to their new lives as the first citizens of the country. Within weeks, Nathan had made a lot of impact in Prescotr as president; he had also turned around the east district into a tourist center, and no one believed that would ever come to pass. He built a very mighty amusement park that attracted even foreign visitors; although the park was Darius' idea, he was not doing it out of the goodness of his heart, but Lord Cloud was doing what was good for the people of Prescott. A place that was known as a place of sorrow was completely turned around into a place of joy and laughter. And that was just a few weeks after he was sworn in. What would happen when he spends one year in office? The people of Prescott were more than excited to see what else Lord Cloud would do for themIt was one morning, and Vanessa stirred slightly; her movements immediately caught Nathan’s attention as he adjusted his tie in the mirror. She o

The hospital lobby burst into action the moment Nathan stepped through the glass doors holding Vanessa in his arms. Her pale face and limp form drew the attention of every staff member present. The medical team, already alerted to the urgency of the situation, rushed to meet him. “Mr. President, this way!” one of the senior doctors called, gesturing toward the emergency ward. Nathan reluctantly laid Vanessa on the waiting stretcher. He hovered beside her and gripped her hand tightly as the nurses worked to move her to the emergency ward. “She fainted suddenly,” Nathan said still breathing rapidly. “She’s been dizzy and nauseous all morning. Do whatever you need to, just save her.” The team nodded furiously as they wheeled Vanessa through the swinging double doors of the emergency ward. Nathan didn’t hesitate to follow as he ran alongside the stretcher.“Mr. President,” the nurse said, her voice firm but kind, “You’ll need to wait outside for now. We’ll take care of her.” N

Nathan sat by Vanessa’s side as he watched her breathe peacefully Her faint smile earlier had reassured him, but he couldn’t shake the tension gripping his chest. He was going to be a dad!He was excited, and at the same time, he was emotional. The door creaked softly, and the doctor stepped into the room. He smiled gently at Nathan before glancing at Vanessa, who had fallen back asleep. “Mr. President,” the doctor began in a hushed tone, “she’s stable, but she needs to rest. I recommend you let her sleep while we monitor her vitals. You can return in the evening when she’s stronger.” Nathan frowned, his reluctance evident. “I can’t leave her alone,” he said firmly. “What if she needs me?” The doctor’s gaze softened. “We’ll take good care of her, sir. Right now, the best thing you can do is give her space. It’s what’s best for her and the baby.” Nathan’s jaw tightened as his eyes darted back to Vanessa. After a long moment of silence, he nodded. “Alright,” he said quie

The news of the baby broke in the early hours of the morning. There were already gossips flying everywhere and Nathan knew that he had had to send his secretary to make the official announcement. She stood in front of the press in the conference room in the Presidential conference room as she announced. “It is with immense joy that I confirm the news that President Nathan and the First Lady are expecting their first child,” he declared. “Both mother and child are healthy, and the President is deeply grateful for your support during this time.” The room erupted with numerous questions and cameras flashed furiously at the secretary's face. The press secretary raised his hand, calming the crowd. “We ask for understanding and privacy during this special time. Thank you for your cooperation.” Within hours, the news spread like wildfire. Every major news outlet in Prescott carried the story. Hashtags like #PresidentialBaby and #BabyCloud were trending online. In the streets of P

Nathan sat in his office one late afternoon; his desk was covered with neatly arranged stacks of documents. He leaned back in his chair and was through a report on the nation’s finances. His sharp eyes were scanning all the pages, and everything was going fine until something caught his attention. A large transfer of funds, which was a high percentage of Prescott’s revenue was sent to an account he did not recognize.His brow furrowed as he flipped to another document. The same account. Nathan's heart rate quickened. He pulled another report, then another, each confirming his suspicion. Over the past six years, billions of Prescott’s revenue had been funneled into this mysterious account. His jaw tightened as he leaned forward. This should be another form of corruption in the system, and he was ready to do whatever it took to root it out. Nathan pressed the intercom on his desk. His voice was steady, but it was filled with urgency. “Angela, call an emergency cabinet meeting

He stood over the table, the ministers were terrified of him at this point. “Do you have any idea what this means? Prescott has been bled dry for years to feed the greed of a tyrant!” He slammed his fist on the table again. The loud bang shook some of them as the documents fluttered. “How many lives could we have changed with that money? How many opportunities have been stolen from our people because of your cowardice?” One of the younger ministers, clearly terrified, finally spoke up. “Mr. President, the former administration thought it was the only way. Vorthax is... dangerous. They threatened to destroy us if we didn’t comply.” Nathan’s gaze snapped to him. “And instead of standing up to them, you chose to submit? To sell out our country?” His voice was a deadly whisper now. “Do you think appeasement is leadership? Do you think I will tolerate this?” Another minister, one of the more senior ones, hesitated before speaking. “Sir, they made it clear. Any day we stop the paymen

Nathan and Vanessa arrived at the Presidential Villa and it was already starting to get dark. Nathan stepped out of the car and he gently helped Vanessa to come down. Ever since Nathan found out that his wife was pregnant, he has been treating her like an egg.He would not even let her pick up a glass cup by her self. The guards at the entrance saluted the President, but Nathan really didn't notice as all his attention was on his wife. Once they were inside, they claimed the grand staircase to their room.Nathan helped Vanessa remove her coat, and they both moved to the bathroom to shower. They showered together and Vanessa sighed softly as she leaned against Nathan.Her back pressed to his chest and his hands were protectively over her belly. After their shower, they changed into comfortable clothes. Nathan wore a simple white shirt and black pants, and Vanessa wore a flowing lavender dress.They made their way to the dining room, where the staff had prepared dinner. They

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..."

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.

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

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.
