2024-06-19 06:50:27Liam then suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter was filled with disbelief and mockery as if he couldn't fathom the audacity of Nathan's claim.
"How dare you think of impersonating Lord Cloud? You must be out of your mind, Nathan. Do you even realize the consequences of such a claim? I have seen Lord Cloud in person and you look nothing like him" Vanessa's face contorted with anger as she turned to Nathan, If Lord Cloud heard that someone from the Wilson family dared to impersonate him, their family might not get the investment even worse he might wipe out their entire family! The Almighty Lord Cloud was not someone to joke with. "You fool! Lord Cloud is not someone you can just impersonate. If he finds out, he could destroy everything we've worked so hard to build. Why do you keep bringing disgrace to our family?" Nathan remained stoic, his voice firm. "I am not impersonating anyone. I am Lord Cloud." But no one was taking him seriously, how could he be Lord Cloud when he has lived off the Wilson family for the past three years? Claire immediately stepped forward and begged Liam her eyes pleading with him. "Please, Liam, Nathan hasn't been himself since the accident. He's been struggling with memory loss and confusion. We've been trying to help him recover." Claire then turned to Nathan "Hurry up, take back what you said and apologize" Nathan's expression hardened "Today was supposed to be a special day for us to celebrate, it has been ruined and now you want me to apologize to this man, he is not even worthy to stand before me" "Who do you think you are?" Liam's face twisted into a snarl of fury as he lunged towards Nathan, his fists clenched tightly. "You delusional fool!" he spat, his voice thick with rage. "How dare you claim to be Lord Cloud? I'll teach you some manners!" Nathan stood his ground, his eyes steady despite the storm brewing around him. He braced himself as Liam swung a punch at him, but Nathan swiftly dodged, his reflexes sharper than Liam anticipated. Claire rushed forward, panic etched across her face. "Stop it, Liam! Please, don't do this! He is not worth your time" Liam paused, his fist still clenched, his chest heaving with anger. He glared at Nathan who was standing composed and did not even move an inch, he then turned his eyes to Claire. "Get out of the way, Claire. This lunatic needs to be taught a lesson." "He's not well, Liam," Claire pleaded, her voice desperate. "He has been through a lot. Hitting him won't solve anything. Please, for my sake let him go." "Fine," Liam spat, reluctantly stepping back. He got into his car, and before driving off, rolled down the window. "But this isn't over, Nathan. You'd better watch yourself." Immediately the car was out of sight Nathan felt a very heavy slap across his cheeks from Victoria's hand. The sting of the slap echoed in the silence that followed, leaving Nathan momentarily stunned. Victoria's face was red with fury, and her eyes were blazing with anger "How could you, Nathan?" she hissed, "Do you have any idea what you've just done? You've never contributed anything to our family and yet you want to destroy us!" Nathan's eyes flashed with sudden intensity. How could his in-laws, whom he had elevated from nothing, treat him with such disdain? His only 'crime' had been supporting his family. "Everything this family has achieved in the last three years was because of me," Nathan stated, his voice low and steady. Victoria scoffed, disbelief etched across her features. "You? What could you possibly have done to help this family? You've been nothing but a burden even before the accident." Claire also lashed out at Nathan out of frustration "I have been carrying the weight of this family on my shoulder and you have done nothing to help and now you're claiming to be someone important, I am honestly ashamed of you Nathan, all my friends boast about their husbands, but mine is just... worthless" Claire's words cut Nathan to the core, all the contracts and favors she thought she acquired on her own were due to his influence. Victoria sneered at Nathan "It does not matter whether you have regained your memories, you will always be the worthless son-in-law of the Wilson family! Nothing you will ever do will change that!" "Tomorrow is Grandfather's birthday and everyone is to be present, if you dare embarrass us there, I will ensure you regret it for the rest of your life," Victoria threatened as she glared at Nathan with disgust before storming into the house. The hall of Grandfather's Wilson birthday party was filled with round tables draped in crisp white tablecloths, each adorned with floral centerpieces of roses and lilies. The crystal glassware gleamed in the ambient light, arranged meticulously for the guests. Every corner of the room screamed luxury. Throughout the hall, attendants moved gracefully, ensuring everything was in place and attending to the needs of the already arrived guests, all the members of the family were already seated including Grandfather Wilson. As Nathan entered the hall, conversations abruptly halted and every gaze turned towards him with disdain, Nathan the useless son-in-law has arrived. To everyone's surprise, Nathan boldly pulled out a chair to sit down. Nathan's confidence seemed to pierce through the thick air of animosity. Nathan's eyes surveyed the room, noting the raised eyebrows and skeptical glances. For the past year, Nathan had often been relegated to sitting on the floor, playing with a teddy bear during family gatherings. But today, he looked composed, wearing a sharp suit that made it clear he had recovered. Before Nathan could take his seat, Ivan who was the eldest son of the family and was seated across the table immediately challenged Nathan "Hold on Nathan, how dare you sit among us?"

"Everyone else brought a gift for Grandfather, how about you? What have you brought?" Ivan continued. "Ivan, there's no need for that" Claire interjected before Nathan could speak. "There's no need for you to take his side, today is Grandpa's birthday and yet he dares to show up empty handed, this man has no respect for Grandpa at all! You don't deserve to be here!" The whole family agreed with Ivan as they continued to look at Nathan with disdain. "I have arranged for someone to deliver the birthday present, it will be delivered shortly," Nathan said firmly. Ivan stood up and circled James, stopping in front of him with a wide grin plastered across his face "Ohh, so you've gotten someone to do that for you, let me guess your colleagues from the mental hospital?" The whole family burst into laughter but Nathan stood his ground, his gaze unwavering despite the ridicule. "The gifts I have asked to be brought here are ten times more expensive than all of the gifts here brou

"I can't help but laugh at your ignorance and Liam's audacity," Nathan said, pointing directly at Liam. 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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
