STREET KING: ASHLEY LOCKWOOD Chapter 129 - Impromptu Visit
Mr Lockwood decided to visit Mr Ambrose. He had had enough of the nonsense that was going on in the city and decided to address it. Off he went in his convoy, and in a few minutes, he was in front of his ex-friend's house.Imagine Mr Ambrose's shock when he saw the most powerful man in the city alighting from his car, his eyes were a bit dim as he approached.He and his wife jumped apart from each other and glanced at each other again in shock. They knew that trouble had come to visit. As calm as Mr Lockwood could be, everyone knew that he wasn't to be messed with in the city. Mr Lockwood glanced at the sensor written for the order for him to enter the house. It's beeped and he finally pushed the door open.A maid was waiting for the right in the living room but didn't also know what to do because she was scared for her boss. Mr Lockwood proceeded to the sofa in the sitting room and plopped on it without waiting for an invitation. He was expecting that the maid would try to stop him
STREET KING: ASHLEY LOCKWOOD Chapter 130 - The Verdict
Ambrose was wroth with the verdict and was expecting that something of the sort would not happen, "You can't do that. I've done nothing to warrant such treatment from you. Why are you treating me like a dog?" He answered Lockwood who wasn't giving ears to his complaints."Oh, alright... If there's anything you want me to do, then you have to make it known but as it stands, we all know what you're trying to do but it won't work one bit. I'm very sure that only a few people would be able to withstand the pressure of being involved with me and receiving the right verdict." Mr. Lockwood announced. "Oh, is that so?" "Yes..." "You can't just write a person off just because of what you think happened. I don't want to talk to you in the manner that I really want to do." He replied.Mr. Lockwood was happy with the way he was feeling pressured. "Oh, is that so?" "Yes, it's so." "I'm done with discussing with you. If you want me to return my shares, then you need to apologize to him." Mr. L

Three Months Later. Archie strolled down the school corridor with a smile on his face. They were almost rounding up with their studies and he had nothing to fear anymore. His brothers had tried all the cold, but it was finally making headway, and his relationship with Bailey had begun to improve drastically. He no longer had anything to fear; all he wanted was to make sure that he got his certificate, went to college, and was able to finally raise the family that he had dreamed of having all his life. His mother's relationship with his father improved drastically also, and he was very happy that it was blossoming into something more tangible than he would have expected. All his life, he had been waiting for this day to finally come, and when it almost came as a shock. He had never believed that his mother would return to his father if not for the accident. Miss Rose was finally getting married also and it seemed like life was getting better. As soon as he saw her, he stopped. He w
STREET KING: ASHLEY LOCKWOOD Chapter 132 - The Agreement
In Ambrose's Residence. "I understand that we might have a bit of dissension due to a few misunderstandings, but that doesn't still mean that we can't find a way around these things and make it work." Marshall began. Mr Ambrose stared at him like he was saying something wild. "I understand how you must feel, but for this to work, they need a better offer. When I say better, I'm talking about someone from a very rich home. My daughter will never marry a pauper, I'll make sure of that." He answered.There were a few things that caused others to be repelled by the way Ambrose reasoned but he admitted his stance. Never had he portrayed something he wasn't. "If you people see me as insensitive or very materialistic I don't dispute that one bit. I am always happy whenever I hear that a rich man is asking for my daughter's hand in marriage. So that we don't keep going back and forth and having a longer conversation when we could just agree once and for all... If you say we should have a mar
STREET KING: ASHLEY LOCKWOOD Chapter 133 - The Valedictorian
"And with this, we have come to the end of the party!" The principal yelled.The crowd erupted in loud cheers as they were a bit elated at the news. Emily walked up to the stage to hug her son in happiness for graduating as the valedictorian. "I'm so proud of you, darling!" She responded, while hugging him very passionately. "I'm sure your father is so proud of you." She whispered into his ears while winking in Marshall's direction who was seated at the high table. "I'm so happy that we can finally be free from this hellish school." Bailey responded while making her presence known. Her heart was pounding a bit faster as she approached the hugging duo. She needed no soothsayer to tell her that Emily didn't welcome her into her son's life because of her parents but she was the most civil. "Okay, then." Emily responded and walked away so that they could bond. Bailey hugged Archie in excitement. "I'm so happy that we are finally leaving this toxic space. It's been a lot. I don't thin
STREET KING: ASHLEY LOCKWOOD Chapter 134 - The Ultimatum
"I believe that by now we should have a common ground. Even if it's not much but something of the sort to ensure that everyone is on the same page and not having to go back and forth discussing something that could have been ended right from the start." Archie spoke in his father's living room. He was tired of hiding from his siblings who felt like he was just doing too much when it was only that they were jealous of everything that he had achieved on his own. For a lot of people they might have thought that he was probably trying to override them but that was not in his agenda at all. "The reason I say this is because I have come to realize that you make us go back and forth when we can just finalize things. I won't stand for this sort of harassment. It gets a bit tiring and right now I am done with looking over my shoulders. I guess what I am trying to say is that. If there is anyone who feels lesser than I am just because of the way things have been going for me. Then it is not my
STREET KING: ASHLEY LOCKWOOD Chapter 135 - Protective Much?
Emily had to call her son to order as soon as he returned home. His eyes were rotating as he levitated with anger pulsating through him. He wasn't feeling so well so he refused to eat. "You can't tell me that you aren't going to eat tonight because of what somebody said? That's completely crazy." She spoke. Archie ignored her completely as a strode along leaving a giant thud in his wake. The ability for him to stop fretting about anything was a lot for him to handle. Emily decided to put a call through to her ex-husband. "Tell me what is going on. My son has been acting up ever since he returned from your place and it is alarming. I need to know what actually went down. If not it is going to be a disaster between both of us." She declared. At this point Marshall was also vexed because it was now as though he had to always earn her trust despite wanting the best for his son. "What do you think happened?" He replied instead, which didn't go down well with her. "I do not know and th
STREET KING: ASHLEY LOCKWOOD Chapter 136 - Deal Or Nah?
Simon went into the office the next day with a smile on his face. He had been able to convince his boss not to allow his son to just walk away without making him see reason for everything that was going on. The amount of time involved in acting like his son wasn't needed wasn't necessary.He met River at the bottom of the stairs and sighed softly knowing that this was another form of disturbance. If he wanted to be truthful, he knew exactly what could have been done to get rid of these boys who were becoming terrorists daily.River saw Simon trying to pretend like he wasn't present and decided to speak to him directly. "I can see that you are avoiding me Mr Simon. Don't you think it is weird seeing that you are also a part of this mess? I know that you're trying to hide your head but it won't work over here. We need a solution and you are going to provide it for us." He stopped him from moving. Simon looked around to see the witnesses. Luckily no one witnessed the conversation as the

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.

Chapter 161- Dealt Cards
“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
