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
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
"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
"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
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
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
Ryder decided to talk to his father calmly about everything that has been happening in the office. He just needed to put his brain in order to ensure that nothing was lagging. If he needed his plans to work, then he had to make sure that he presented himself as someone trustworthy. Call him sly, but he wasn't going to remain the way his siblings expected him to act. He had sat down and had a rethink about his actions. If he was also his father, he wouldn't have given him a chance to rule his company. How the hell did he allow things to spiral downwards so fast that he was basically grasping for anything he could find right now? There was something actually that most of them didn't and that was simply humility and calmness. His father was to put his younger brother in his stead but that was only because Archie had a very calm way of handling things that made some people feel like he was safe to deal with instead of he who was rowdy most of the time. After getting this hack he decided
