STREET KING: ASHLEY LOCKWOOD Chapter 11
Archie was wondering what Ryder meant by what he said but was interrupted by his father descending the stairs with a smile.Marshall beamed at his son who was standing with Ryder. There was nothing that was stopping him from making Ryder go back to school. Maybe now that Archie was around, Ryder would be more serious. "He's not the problem, son. I didn't see that you were committed enough. If I see you showing interest in the things that matter, I will make you return to school."Archie noticed the strain between both father and son. So he decided to exempt himself from the situation. "It was great spending time with you however, it's getting late and I have to run," Archie said and they didn't say anything. "Thank you for dinner." He added before turning away. "Thank you too."Archie nodded carefully before turning away. "No, not so fast," Marshall replied swiftly and he turned towards his father."I'm sorry?""You can't just leave, Marcel will take you home.""I don't mind...""I

Ralph stuttered when he saw the video of him kneeling with a guy. It was the most embarrassing secret of his that he didn't want his wife to know. "W-where the hell did you see that?" He stuttered and rushed to seize the phone from Archie but was stopped as Archie dodged. "I don't know... Maybe, I should just show your lovely wife. Her name is Mrs. Laurie right?" Ralph's eyes grew red as he wondered how this young boy had managed to see him. "how do I know that you didn't Photoshop it?" "Oh, really? Do you think that I photoshopped it? Well, I will still send you more, and also give your wife the contact of the man, and let's see if she would think that it was photoshopped." Ralph pinched the bridge of his nose in anger, "I don't know what you want, you're just s bastard who is trying to play smart but I assure you that it won't work on me. You will regret ever doing this and I don't even mind." Archie shook his head, "I don't know about you but all I want is very simple, apolog

Daisy was beaming when Archie walked in and he pretended not to understand what was happening. "Come in, son. I have good news for you but firstly, did you see Mr. Ralph's car on the way here?"Archie shrugged while being happy inwardly watching his mother look so relieved "No, I didn't. Should I be happy about something ma'am?" He inquired and she beamed."Yes, you should, but before I tell you what happened, where did you get this from?" She inquired, nodding towards the groceries in his hands leaving him a bit stunned. Archie took a minute before finally speaking. He didn't want to expose his heritage yet. "I don't know... It was from my savings and while I was shopping, I met a very kind stranger who helped me out and said that I didn't need to worry about the bills, so after he left I still went back to add more groceries. May I put them in the fridge?" He inquired, avoiding her question tactfully.Daisy, having no reason to doubt her lovely son nodded and rubbed her palms excit

Archie headed to school the next day with a pep in his step. After his accomplishments the previous day, he was feeling fly, satisfied with himself at being able to improve his mother's loving condition, that had always been his goal and he was happy that it was finally coming to pass. He saw a few people staring at him when he walked into school but he didn't know what they were looking at and quite frankly he didn't care about what they thought. Suddenly he felt a presence beside him and he turned to look at Bailey who was smiling at him. "Good morning, Archie." Archie blinked, he didn't think that she would come to him openly again. In his mind, he had thought that it was a one-time thing. "I don't know why you are here, aren't you supposed to be in class?" He inquired as he glanced at his watch.She chuckled at his obvious confusion. "Yeah, I should be in school, but I am not simply because we are not having any lectures today.Archie came to a halt. "Oh? Why is that?" Bailey

Coleman's family house stood out impressively against the terrain and they nodded at how magnificent it was. It was very obvious that his father was rich. Well, he was the Mayor so what did they expect?"I don't understand the rave about these boy's houses. It's just so saddening." "Oh? I didn't know that there was a rave about it. If you will, I would have loved for you to just try as much as possible to pipe down today so that we don't get into any trouble at all." Archie suggested. He really just wanted to see what the party was all about. Bailey nodded and adjusted her glasses on her slim nose before turning toward him. "Well, how do I look?" "Beautiful," Archie replied without a thought. He had noticed but had forgotten to comment about it because he was thinking about something else he didn't even realize that he was supposed to do. Bailey nodded and scrunched her face when she saw a lot of cars lined up behind Coleman's. "Tommy is such a bully. Why does everyone have to li

The whole school went silent after witnessing the incident. Archie had the time of his life as he kissed the school's hottest cheerleader. Many guys would kill to be in his position alas he was the one who was enjoying himself the most. "Now, don't tell me that you are dating this trash bag?" Tommy inquired but they didn't respond. Bae instead giggled against his lips causing all the guys around to groan. They felt like punching Archie for managing to cart away the girl that they had eyes for since most of them hit early puberty. It didn't just help that they didn't have the courage to go up to her for fear that she might turn them down.Archie heard clicks so Bailey quickly turned to shield him from the photos. "I'll suggest that you put those phones down. I also have evidence of you trying to haze other students, for this nonsense that you have done, you will have to make sure that you face your warrant, I will make sure of that." As soon as she spoke, they quickly put their ph

Connor didn't expect the torrent of blows that came down on him when he was speaking to Archie. Little did he know that Archie had studied him very well to know that he was better at shoving people, which caused them to fall and emerge as the winner. But this time around, Archie was ready for whatever it would take to make sure that he got to the bottom of the issue. Getting to the bottom of the issue meant that he was going to iron everything out before they could even say Jack. As they were even trying to understand what was happening, Archie jumped on Connor and began to slap him very hard. "You will not speak to people in this manner. Learn to accord people respect." Each statement was accompanied by a slap that made the whole room keep quiet.Connor's arms flailed as he tried to defend himself to no avail but no one was even acting like they saw him in pain. They were also feeling very annoyed at the way that Connor acted but they didn't have any choice at that."Is there anyt

When Archie walked into school the next day, he was accosted by stares. If stares could kill then he would have been the feet under the ground. It was very embarrassing but he had learned to roll with the fame. They weren't going to do anything to him now that they knew that he wasn't to be messed with. Gone were the days when certain people would try to mess with him but now he was going to make sure that there was something up his sleeves that no one had the privilege of seeing."You know that you're not feeling this school, why don't you leave?" "Wasn't he the one who beat Connor to a pulp last night?" Another student whispered quite loudly for him to hear but he wasn't interested in whatever they had to say because as usual there was a mistake in the way they acted which was the fact that they thought he was nobody."I wonder what the Mayor would say today when he comes to school to see the student that beat his son." The subject of the discussion walked into the hallway and a

EPILOGUE
8 months later,There is a popular saying; the ship is never afraid of the wind but rather it bends to it and dances to its tune of direction and relief.Trees who don't bend in the wind break. The wind is a pivotal feature of the human life as it is responsible for every occurrence that happens in human life. When you learn to bend, you fit everywhere. When you learn to bend you navigate the wind with your curved hands and control it. Archibald Lockwood has seen the storm, he had dined in the whirlwind and he had learned to embrace the raging tornado and walk inside of it. He learned to toil a dry land and water it with his tears of frustration and discouragement, and sweat of weariness and hunger.When he stood in front of the magnificent building which bore the name *Lockwood Enterprises* he closed his eyes and recounted how he had begun his life up to this moment. It was a different kind of wind,a different kind of struggle at every phase of his life. He smiled, watching the sun

Chapter 165 - The Wedding
The wedding began around 12:00 p.m. in the afternoon. The venue of the wedding was the family's yard which was filled to the brim with men of high class and caliber. Many of them were Marshall's colleagues from the military, oil and gas moguls,big celebrities and even politicians.It was a dream come true for Bailey, as every eye felt upon her in awe. She'd chosen to wear a lace turtleneck gown and a very transparent veil. There was no doubt that she looked beautiful and that she would be gracing the cover of the biggest wedding magazine in the country for a long time to come. Archie on the other hand was as stunning as ever, very much the desired man any woman would wish to have. He stood tall in his three piece suit, his brown eyes emitting the soft rays of the midday sun. His jet black hair had been dressed and combed to give a gentlemanly appearance. Once the band began to play the piano, Bailey's father took her by the hand and slowly started leading her to the aisle, where Arc

Chapter 164 - Surprises
Archie waited for Bailey at the parking lot, feeling his heartbeat with tension and anticipation. He decided to protect his now grown reputation by standing under one of the trees, so that the darkness can shade his presence. A part of him still felt bad about Bailey's parents and how he had to leave them unresponsive. His heart had been clouded with pain, as memories of the ill treatment he had gotten from them reeled in his head. He drew a deep breath and closed his eyes, attempting to relax his taut nerves. This was the beginning of the end, and now that he had been vindicated, there was nothing left for him to think of. He ran his hand over his pocket, the tiny box was still there. When he opened his eyes he saw Bailey in the parking lots, looking around in search for him. “Hey! I'm here,” he called out loudly, waving his hands to catch her attention. She turned around at the sound of his voice, but when she was still not able to get his direction he walked out from under the

Chapter 163 - Parent's Regret
When the cameras flashing on Archie increased, he knew that he was already live on television. Every home was tuned into this station, every eye fixated on him.“Hmm,hmm”The throat clearing coughing of the presenter jolted him out of his thoughts. “You said you are who again?” Archie twisted his lips into a smirk as he chuckled lightly. There was sarcasm in the bald headed man's voice. He obviously thought he had come to humiliate himself just as everyone in the world was thinking. He adjusted his sitting position, crossing his legs. “I am Archibald Lockwood. The heir to the Lockwood empire.”The smile on the presenter's face dissipated immediately, becoming replaced with unease, the kind that left his eyes widened, and his jaw agape. Archie could feel the same silence, echoing through the land. The same shock on the presenter's face spread across every face in the land including Bailey's parents' own. It felt good, being a glistening debutante to the world who had undermined him

Chapter 162 - Parent's Approval
“Thank you all for being here,” Bailey began, keeping her gaze steady as she stood at the head of the table.. Her father narrowed his eyes. “What’s the point of this meeting, Bailey? You know how we feel about your... decisions.”Ignoring the dismissive tone, Bailey pressed on. “Since I’m taking control of the company. It’s time for a change, and I want to merge with Archie’s business.”The murmurs around the table rose like a tide, disbelief etched across their faces. “You can’t be serious,” her father barked, slamming his hand against the table, causing the coffee cups to rattle. “Archie is beneath us. He doesn’t belong in this world.”“Actually,” Bailey retorted, her voice slicing through the air, “I don’t care about your opinions anymore. I believe in Archie and his vision. He has more integrity than anyone in this room.” She locked eyes with her father, refusing to back down, her hands clenched into fists at her sides. “You’re making a mistake,” her mother interjected softly.

“Mom, I’m not about to do anything reckless,” Archie responded, realizing he wasn't going to get through with them; this was something he'll have to do himself.There was no way he would let his step siblings get away with everything they had done they would pay one way or another.Emily’s eyes searched his a bit doubtful he meant what he said. “Archie, I understand your anger, but chasing them won’t bring you peace. You’ve got your life ahead of you. Think about it.” She leaned forward, the tension in her body visible as she reached out, her fingers brushing his arm.“I get it. I’ll keep my head clear.” He forced a smile, a façade he hoped would ease her anxiety.As she turned away, Archie stepped outside, he pulled out his phone and dialed Simon’s number.“Hey, Archie! Everything alright?” Simon’s voice crackled through the line, filled with curiosity.“Not really,” Archie muttered, glancing around to ensure no one was nearby. “I need you to help me keep an eye on my siblings. They’

Chapter 160 - New Wave
Archie strode into the office the next morning with an air of command, his footsteps steady against the polished marble floor. The scent of fresh coffee mingled with the leather-bound scent of documents, yet there was something else in the atmosphere- his dominance. He scanned the faces of his employees, his gaze sharp, and his posture upright like a king on his throne.There was no room for forgiveness. With a flick of his wrist, Archie motioned to his assistant. "Gather them," he ordered simply.Soon enough, the ones who had wronged him stood before him. Archie watched them, letting the silence grow thick before he spoke.“Your time here is over,” Archie declared, shocking them.“You can’t just—"Archie raised a hand, palm out, halting him mid-sentence. “This is my company. I decide who stays and who leaves. And none of you deserve to stay.”The others exchanged nervous glances, their bodies tense but none of them.dared speak.One by one, they were led out.

The gates of the juvenile home creaked open, and Archie stepped inside, he could already tell the meeting wasn't going to end well as he moved down the narrow corridor. The dull thud of footsteps echoed against the concrete floor. He spotted the living room and his step siblings pacing the room.As he entered his footsteps drew their attention, their eyes locked on him but he didn't flinch, already used to it. There was no warmth, no welcome, just the cold resentment that had festered for years. "Archie," Rhyder’s voice broke the silence, more a statement than a greeting. "Here to play the hero again?"Archie stood still for a moment, his jaw clenched. He could taste the bitterness of the conversation to come, already lingering on his tongue. "I'm not here to save anyone," he finally spoke, keeping his voice even. "Just to hear what's going on."Meg scoffed. "You should know by now. Dad washed his hands of us. Threw us all to the wolves except you right?." Her lips curled, but it was

Chapter 158 - The Final Verdict
Murmurs filled the courtroom but no one was able to say anything against her order. They were going to behave exactly the way she had said they should. "I will be waiting for each of them to appear. I have already invited them to the court and we are going to get to the bottom of this issue today once and for all." She announced happily. She was always joyful whenever she had the opportunity to free the oppressed. It was later she got to know Archie's real identity. He wasn't the usual person that she thought he was. He was Marshall's son so she was not surprised by the way he was bold to prove his points. It was only people who had something to hide that would shy away from prosecution. She hoped for his step siblings sake that they did not have a hand in this because she was going to go hard on them and not even Marshall would tell her to stop. They tried to tarnish the young man's image everywhere. There were lots of posters and caricatures made of him as people thought he was
