"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
Archie decided to take a break from all the stress of the job and booked a flight ticket to Paris with Bailey as a fellow but the parents refused, thinking that it was just Marshall's way of trying to convince them to accept Archie into the family. Bailey cried daily as her father spoke hurtful words to her, reminding her that she was nothing but just a tool in the hands of Archie. According to them he was only trying to use her and dump her right after which she was bound by the law not to spill everything that she knew about him. "My boyfriend isn't that sort of person, I understand that you are looking out for me but this is outrightly disrespectful. That boy has never done anything to warrant soft treatment from you. That boy saves people so that they don't go through the same hardship he went through just to become what he is today. Isn't there any part of him that appeals to you? He emerged as the valedictorian after losing some time when other people could go to school. That
There was something that Archie was looking for but couldn't find in Paris. It was the experience of being with a person that he truly wanted to be with and have a look at everything going on in the pack. That was the only way that he could get a visual experience and never want to leave regardless of what anyone might say. He stood before the Eiffel Tower and his phone rang, he reached into his pocket and withdrew his phone. A small smile appeared on his face as he stared at the phone screen. Not a lot of people would be able to undergo such an experience and not feel slighted by the way his life has been going the past few days. "Dear son, I asked that you send some pictures to me but you refused. Should I take it as an act of disobedience on your part? Is this your way of cutting off with the family completely? So that we know that we don't have a child anywhere." Marshall spoke jokingly, however Archie could hear a hint of seriousness in his tone and was waiting to understand wh
River walked into the house with his shoulders drawn together tiredly. He was angry and was seeking a better way to air his opinion. This was the height of this, as he was staring at others who were engrossed in their conversation which didn't touch them at all. If he could get someone else to stop talking and acting like there was no issue, then he would stop being invested in such a thing. "If you understand the amount of stress that I've gone through before I was able to get to this height, you will not blame me whenever I act a certain way. I'm done trying to explain to them about my choice. Who the hell did they even think they are to deserve such an explanation in the first place?" He heard his father speak.Oh... So she doesn't think that we are responsible enough? She doesn't even think that we are enough to warrant an explanation? This is sick! He thought.Marshall on the other hand didn't stop his conversation as soon as he spotted him. He was committed to telling the truth
