We thought he was out of your lives for good.” Victoria turned to face him, her face flushed with anger and desperation. “My in-law, it’s nothing but a pathetic display from someone we thought was out of our lives forever. "Nathan, our former son-in-law, is back, trying to make a scene and ruin our engagement ceremony.” "He cannot just let go of the fact that Claire no longer wants him" Richard’s eyes narrowed as he took in Nathan’s imposing figure and the expensive entourage. “Is this the same Nathan we all dismissed as a failure? How did he come by all this wealth?” Victoria seize

"I never meant for any of this to happen. I swear, I didn’t hire those men! Please, don’t let them take me away!”Nathan’s gaze was unrelenting. “It’s too late for your pleas, Victoria.""The evidence is clear, and the police are here to enforce that you pay for your crimes!” He glanced at the lead officer, who nodded in understanding.Claire, stood helplessly nearby, her face pale and her eyes filled with tears. She reached out to Nathan, her voice trembling. “Nathan, please, think of my mother’s legacy, our family’s reputation."" She’s made mistakes, but she’s not a killer.""Please, don’t do this.

Do you have any idea who I am?""I need that suit, and I’m willing to pay whatever it takes.”The salesperson’s gaze remained steady, though his voice was firm. “I understand, sir, but as I was trying to explain to your assistant, this suit is part of a unique collection.""It’s not just any garment; it’s a one-of-a-kind piece.

"Are you tired of your job?" the owner demanded, his tone laced with fury."Just tell me so that I can fire you immediately!" he roared, the veins in his neck bulging as he barely contained his rage."S-sir?" the manager stammered, her eyes wide with bewilderment and fear as she struggled to comprehend why her boss was shouting at her with such anger, threatening to dismiss her on the spot."I don't understand, sir.

THE ALMIGHTY LORD CLOUD CHAPTER 61
Before James could respond, Nicholas erupted into a loud, mocking laugh.

You expect me to believe that?""The other day you were still at my other establishment pretending to be a child, and now you are claiming to be Lord Cloud.""How gullible do you think I am?""You are nothing but a pathetic fraud!""How dare you come here, thinking you can pull off a stunt and steal this suit from me?”Nathan’s jaw clenched. “I have offered to pay twice the price of the suit, and yet you accuse me of trying to steal it?""I’m here to buy th

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."

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.

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

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.

Everything is going to be fine. I’ve done what Sebastian asked. This will all be over soon.” Vanessa let out a choked sob. “Nathan… I’m so scared. I can’t—” “Don’t say that,” he interrupted gently but firmly. “You’re the strongest person I know. You’ve been through so much, and you’ve never given up. Don’t give up now.” “But the baby…” she cried, her voice cracking. “I can’t stop thinking about what will happen if—” “Nothing will happen,” Nathan cut in, his voice growing more resolute. “You and our baby will be fine. I swear it. We’ll go home tonight, like every other day. You’ll see Brian, and we’ll all be together again.” Vanessa’s

Nathan froze, his stomach sinking. “You’re out of your mind. That’s billions—” “Precisely,” Sebastian interrupted, his voice sharp. “Half of it, or the bombs go off. One in the stadium where thousands will die, and one under your precious wife’s car. Tick-tock, Mr. President.” Nathan’s free hand clenched into a fist, his nails digging into his palm. “You’re a monster,” he spat, his voice trembling with fury. Sebastian chuckled, “Save the moral outrage. You have thirty minutes to decide.” Nathan’s voice cracked with desperation. “Don’t hurt her. Don’t hurt my wife or my child. I’ll do whatever you want, just leave them out of this.” “Good,” Sebastian said, his voice almost gleeful. “Then start moving, Nathan. Time waits for no man.” The line went dead again.Nathan didn’t waste a second. He turned to his security team, his voice cold and commanding. “Seal off the stadium. No one leaves until every inch is searched. I want bomb squads on the ground now. Move!” His men hes
