“Look at this mess we're in,” Cynthia continued, her voice trembling. “It’s all falling apart. We’re losing everything.”Ivan Wilson, his face etched with frustration and helplessness, paced back and forth.His mind was racing, grappling with the sudden and brutal turn of events. He glanced at his father, Grandfather Wilson, whose stoic demeanor was starting to crack under the weight of the family's crumbling empire.“We are ruined,” Ivan finally cried out, his voice breaking. “Our business partners are already pulling out. They’re abandoning us.”The Wilson family was already starting to crumble after Nathan left the family; Victoria's dilemma only made things worse for them.Grandfather Wilson’s expression gradually changed to a mask of grim determination as he looked around at his family.He had spent decades building the Wilson legacy, and now it was crumbling before his eyes.His voice was steady, though tinged with despair. “We need to think clearly. We must find a way to get o
James looked up at Nathan, his expression a mix of frustration and embarrassment. “My Lord,” he began, but his words faltered as he saw the look of growing irritation on his boss’s face."Sorry you had to come down from the car; I’ve been trying to buy the suit, but this young man here is refusing to sell it,” James explained.The salesperson, a young man with a strained smile, cleared his throat. “Sir, I’m sorry, but I must inform you that this particular suit is not for sale."You can choose any other suit from our various collections.”Nathan’s eyes narrowed. “Not for sale?"" 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. There are only three suits like this in existence, all displayed exclusively at hi
The owner's cold, piercing gaze locked onto Nathan's; he did not even bother to hide the disdain and contempt he had towards Nathan. "You..." he uttered, his voice dripping with scorn as he glared daggers at Nathan, who stood there composed and unflinching.The boutique owner in question was Mr. Nicholas, one of the top business owners in the South district of Prescott. He owned numerous businesses in the district, this boutique included, and the one where Victoria had left him to die when he lost his memory.Nicholas then whirled around to face his manager. "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. What have I
Before James could respond, Nicholas erupted into a loud, mocking laugh. The sound of his laughter was harsh and cutting, echoing through the boutique. “Lord Cloud?!” Nicholas roared as he continued to laugh. “You’ve got to be kidding me!”Nathan’s face flushed with anger. “What’s so funny about my identity?""I am Lord Cloud, and I need the suit for tomorrow’s investment forum,” he said firmly, his voice unwavering despite the storm of laughter directed at him.Nicholas waved his hand dismissively, still chortling. “Oh, come now! 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
James’s anger burned like a furnace, and he could no longer contain his rage. As the two burly security guards moved menacingly toward Nathan, James’s muscles tensed. He stepped in front of Nathan, blocking the guards’ path with a determined glare.One of the guards, a towering figure with a scar running down his cheek, sneered at James. “Get out of the way, or you’ll regret it,” he growled, his voice like a deep rumble.James’s eyes blazed with fury. “If you dare let a finger on my master, you will never use those hands again,” James barked fearlessly, each word dripping with defiance.The second guard, slightly shorter but equally menacing, reached for James, his hand outstretched as if to shove him aside.In a flash, James’s fist shot out, landing a solid punch to the guard’s stomach. The guard staggered back, clutching his abdomen and gasping for breath.The first guard, momentarily taken aback by the swift attack, growled and lunged at James. .But James was quicker. He sidest
Before Nicholas could finish, Mr. Alister raised his head slightly, his eyes meeting Nathan’s with a look of respect.“Nicholas,” he said firmly, “How could you say such a thing? Do you have any idea who you are talking to?""Nathan is not an ordinary man; you would be making a grave mistake by underestimating him.”Nicholas’s face contorted with frustration. “That is so absurd,” he spat. “Of course, he is not an ordinary man; he is below ordinary!""His mates are in the psychiatric ward.""Why would you bow to such a man?"Nathan cut him off with a cold, measured voice. “Enough, Nicholas!""We might be business partners, but I will not let you speak to Lord Cloud that way!""Why not?" Nicholas retorted."Just because he has managed to convince you that he is Lord Cloud doesn't mean I will believe him.""I'm not that foolish!""But you are foolish enough not to know that your business partner is telling the truth," Nathan interjected.“Your arrogance has blinded you to reality.”Nicho
Bianca, sensing the urgency in Nathan's voice, immediately said, “Understood, Lord Cloud.""I’ll get right to it immediately.”Nathan hung up, his gaze returning to Nicholas, who was almost trembling. “You still have time to kneel at feet and beg for mercy till my personal assistant calls back.”Nicholas glared back, his anger mingled with fear. “Sparee the nonsense, Please!""So, you think you can intimidate me with your little display? It’s not going to work. I’ll never kneel before you!""Not in this life or the next!""I have already called the police, and so I will expose you for what you really are.”Nathan’s expression hardened. “Your arrogance is quite amusing, Nicholas.""I promise you that the same police you just called will drag you out of here shamelessly.”Mr. Alister, who had been watching the exchange with a mixture of pity and apprehension, stepped forward. “Nicholas, I beg you, you need to listen.""Kneel and apologize now, Lord Cloud might forgive you"Nicholas’s fa
Nathan’s voice rang out even more as he continued to expose Nicholas. “Nicholas Greene, or should I say Sebastian Grey...""in addition to your criminal dealings, there are multiple reports of your violent outbursts and threats against those who are against you.”“You thought you could move here and start a new life like nothing happened, but your reputation precedes you, Nicholas.”“You pretend to be tough, but you are nothing but a criminal and a coward.”He paused, letting the weight of his words sink in, as the room remained tense and silent.The crowd's murmurs grew louder as they expressed their shock.Their phones continued to capture every moment, and the social media buzz became a storm of outrage and condemnation.Nicholas was dumbfounded as he tried to mutter some words, but he could not say anything. He could not defend himself as Nathan uncovered all the truths about him, even information the police had been trying to get for years to incriminate him was in Nathan's palm
