Darius wore a twisted smile as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a document.“But wait, there’s more. You see, my dear sister didn’t just stop at manipulating her way into this marriage.""Oh no, she had bigger plans. Plans that involved taking everything from Nathan.”Nathan’s face twisted into a scowl as Darius continued. He could sense that whatever Darius was about to reveal would be far worse than anything he had said so far.The crowd, who had not recovered from the things Darius had said earlier, leaned in closer, eager and yet fearful of whatever Darius was about to say.Darius was enjoying the suspense and the attention. He made sure everyone could see what he was holding by waving the document in the air before unfolding it. “What I have here, ladies and gentlemen, is a signed agreement between Vanessa and Henry Smith.""It’s not just any agreement; it's a plan to drain Nathan of his wealth, siphon off his assets, and then run away with Henry, leaving Nathan with no
Nathan's eyes were still burning with fury when he turned to Vanessa, who was obviously angrier than him.He gently placed his hand over hers, trying to calm her down.“What should we do with him, Vanessa?” Nathan whispered into her ear.There was no one who wanted Darius gone more than him, but he had to ask Vanessa first because Darius was her supposed brother.“Your brother has crossed a line that he can’t uncross,” he added, as if trying to provoke Vanessa.Vanessa didn’t hesitate, her eyes locked on Darius with an icy stare that sent chills down the spines of everyone present. “I don’t consider him my brother,” she said, her voice calm but laced with the sharpness of betrayal.“Not after everything he’s done."I will never consider you my brother; all you have ever tried to do is destroy my life.”Nathan’s expression hardened—that's all he needed. He turned his gaze back to Darius, who now stood there in shame.The smirk was long gone from Darius’s face, replaced by a mixture of
Minutes later, Darius and his entire army of men were tied up and pinned to the floor.Nathan, who had stood there confidently the entire time, paced slowly in front of the riff-raffs who had the audacity to disrupt his wedding.Nathan did not even move an inch while the fight was going on.He was very confident that his men had what it took to neutralize Darius’s men, and they did not disappoint him.One of the men was still hesitant as he was trying his possible best to break free from the ropes he was tied up with.Nathan's man, who was the closest to where he was standing, immediately gave him a powerful blow to the side.The force of the blow immediately sent the man crashing to the ground. He was dazed and struggled to get a hold of himself.The bodyguard wore a satisfactory smirk as he stepped back, confident that would keep the bastard down for now.Order had been restored, although fear could still be seen etched on some of the faces of the congregation.The news media who we
Nathan's thunderous voice made the audience more tense as they were just recovering from the scandal.Suddenly, the sound of sirens could be heard from outside the cathedral.The doors of the cathedral swung open, and a team of police officers rushed in with stern expressions written all over their faces.The police were finally here.Nathan’s security detail immediately stepped aside, allowing the officers to advance forward.Nathan stood tall and imposing, his arms crossed as he observed the scene with an air of authority.He had been waiting for this moment; Darius would finally get what was coming to him."Lord Cloud, we came here as soon as possible." One of the men, who looked like the lead officer, stepped forward and gave a deep bow, and so did the rest of his men.“Take them,” Nathan said, his voice low but commanding, his gaze never leaving Darius.The officers moved swiftly, their boots echoing against the tiled floor as they grabbed Darius’s men, roughly pulling them to th
There was a short laugh that could be heard over the phone, and the officers focused their attention on Darius, straining their ears to hear whatever he was discussing. "That won't be easy, it's going to cost you."Darius clenched his jaw, swallowing his pride. "I’ll pay whatever it takes. Just get me out."After another pause, the voice replied, "Consider it done. You’ll be out in less than two hours."With that, Darius hung up the phone and leaned back in his chair, a satisfied smirk playing on his lips.The officer who had been watching him raised an eyebrow.They were so interested in putting him behind bars, in fact, they had just threatened him with a list of sentences, and he was smiling?What the hell is wrong with him? They looked at him with irritation.Or did he have some connections or something?"You really think a phone call’s gonna fix this?" the officer scoffed angrily. "We’ve got enough to keep you here for a long time."He was trying to remind him that there was no h
Nathan sat at his desk in the Cloud Corporation, staring at the newspaper laid out before him.The bold headline read: "Bullying Allegations Surface at Cloud Corporation Subsidiary."He drummed his fingers on the desk, his face unreadable, but he felt a storm of emotion inside him.His office was very luxurious, one that showed the power and wealth of Cloud Corporation.The view from the floor-to-ceiling windows showcased the city's skyline, but Nathan’s eyes remained fixed on the article.He clenched his jaw, shaking his head. How could he not have noticed this?It must have started while he was not around.This sort of behavior was unacceptable!He had to do something as soon as possible. This was already ruining the reputation of Cloud Corporation.He pressed the intercom button. “Bianca, come to my office.”Moments later, Bianca walked in with her usual calm and poise.Her tailored suit spoke of professionalism, and her sharp eyes were always attentive to detail.She approached N
“I need to see for myself what’s really happening,” Nathan replied firmly. “If I go like this, no one’s going to tell me the truth because they know who I am.""If I go in as Steven Harris, an ordinary cleaner, no one will recognize me, and I’ll be able to uncover what’s really going on.”Vanessa shook her head, placing her hand on the table as if to steady herself.“Nathan, do you realize how dangerous this is? What if someone finds out? What if something happens to you?""You’re not just anyone, you’re Lord Cloud, the most powerful man in the country.""You can’t just decide to pretend to be someone else!”“I know it sounds crazy,” Nathan admitted, “but this is the only way to find out who’s responsible. This company is mine, Vanessa.""I spent years building a name for myself, and I won’t let anyone drag it through the mud.”Vanessa pushed her plate aside, her appetite now completely gone. She stared at Nathan, her worry growing by the second. “Nathan, this isn’t just about the com
Nathan clenched his jaw, irritated by the way she spoke to him. He hadn’t been spoken to like this in a long time, especially since he left the Wilson family. It took everything in him not to lash out. He could feel his hands tightening into fists, but he quickly relaxed them, forcing himself to stay calm. He couldn’t blow his cover.Not now, not over this.Miss Jane Foster, as her nametag read, took a step closer, glaring at Nathan with disdain. “Let me make one thing clear, Steven. People like you don’t get to use those elevators.""You are not even worthy of *looking* at it,” she tilted her head with a sneer. “You’re nothing but a filthy cleaner who is here to make sure the floors are shiny and the bins are empty. Do you understand?"Nathan felt a storm of rage within him, but he forced himself to stay composed. His mission was more important than his pride right now. He had to keep his cover, endure the insults, and let her believe he was the insignificant worker she thoug
