STREET KING: ASHLEY LOCKWOOD Chapter 84 - Disappointed lots.
Archie was invested in making sure that there was nothing wrong with the way other things were going in other companies. If he has his way he would make sure that all things were well placed and that he would be free from any stress coming from whoever it was. As a man who was tired of waiting after a long time, he finally decided to get the answer that he needed.If he could get something at least from his brother he would know his next step. Without further ado, they walked together to Marshal's house because that was the only place that he could find this stupid boy who was always fond of getting on his nerves. As though that was not enough, the boy had the audacity to go ahead and act like there was nothing wrong in what he did.He knocked on the door and they opened up immediately, he was not feeling too well but decided that he had to make this work. A maid opened the door and smiled at Archie who was frowning actively because he was pissed by his stepbrother's attempts on his l
STREET KING: ASHLEY LOCKWOOD Chapter 85 - Confrontation
Marshall walked into the school building briskly. Most of the students were still working around. The canteen looked busy. They were probably on their lunch break.His eyes roamed the place and he tucked his hands into his pocket and beckoned on a student."Good afternoon sir," The student greeted and Marshall gave a nod with a small smile. This man was the most prominent man in the city so it was an honor. "Where's the location of the Principal's office?" He asked. The student stared at him silently for a few seconds before pointing in the direction of the staff block."Just right there. The first office after you take a left" He described. Marshall nodded and thanked him before going in the direction he was being pointed to.The principal's name was written in big bold letters and pasted on the door. He did not need to search anymore.Knocking on the door, he waited for a response before pushing the door open and stepping in. The few times he'd visited Archie in this school, he had
STREET KING: ASHLEY LOCKWOOD Chapter 86 - Discordance.
Archie walked through the halls with footsteps echoing across the room as most of the students were probably in one class or the other. Normally he should be among his friends now but currently he didn't think had any actual friends. He trotted down the hall, a little bit fed up with all this endless talk, maybe all they needed to do was let him so!ve all this with his fist. He hated that he still had to listen to all that nonsense. He blamed himself and his judgment of people for leading him into the situation he was in. He never should have even considered someone like Connor a friend and yet for some reason he’d believed everyone who smiled at him wanted the best for him. He reached the front of Miss Rose’s office and sighed before walking in. Connor was already there and he was standing in front of Miss Rose who on the other hand was seated and held a pen in her hand filling some names. Archie glanced at Connor from head to toe and the latter gave him a condescending grin. He k
STREET KING: ASHLEY LOCKWOOD Chapter 87 - Fighting Duo
The principal took a look at the two boys who had been fighting a few hours ago and was pissed at their display of madness. There was no way in the world that he was going to support such foolery."Master Tommy and Master Archie, what can you say concerning your actions?" He began.Both boys glared at him for the longest twenty seconds of his life before finally speaking up. Archie went first. He was happy to have won Tommy at this game but he still wanted to gloat. "He started it first. I'm tired of giving him too much audience." He replied and was saddled with a blank stare. The principal was afraid for his job. It would only take the Mayor one call to get him removed or worse demoted after all his years of genuine service to the academic world."I don't think you understand what you're doing. If you did, I'm sure that you would continue all this nonsense. Have you ever taken time to consider that you're no longer kids? You're getting older daily and you're supposed to become a ro
STREET KING: ASHLEY LOCKWOOD Chapter 88 - Bad Intentions.
Bailey and Archie walked back into their classroom, hand in hand with Archie smiling and whispering sweet nothings in her ear. Elena, the new girl, was seated next to Archie’s spot, her face lightening up as they approached. Elena smiled sweetly at Bailee. “So, you’re the girl they say is always clingy?” Bailee turned to look at her, like someone just struck a cord around her “What do you mean by that?” The chatter around them quieted as people turned to listen, curious about the sudden confrontation. Bailee was never one to raise her voice and her classmates seeing her like this over a new girl, was news. Elena’s eyes widened as if she realized she had said something wrong. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it that way, please. I have to take some of my papers from the art class. And I don’t know where that is.” Bailee raised an eyebrow. “And so what?”“I…um, just…”“So you needed an escort?” Archie askedElena smiled bashfully. “Umm, kind of.”Bailee rolled her eyes. “Alright, let’s g
STREET KING: ASHLEY LOCKWOOD Chapter 89 - Too Good To Be True
"Come with me," Archie said, grasping Bailey's hand. He slung the strap of his bookbag over his shoulder and she grabbed hers, hurrying to keep up with his quick steps. "What's going on?" She asked, looking up at him. "Jones asked to see me," Archie said, not bothering to look at her. "Jones?" She asked and a look of realization hit her. "Oh, you mean our principal," she said and he nodded. "But he didn't call for you with the intercom," she said, looking at him with a confused expression. "Miss Rose sent me a text," he replied and Bailey went silent. She felt a small pinch of jealousy pinch her in the chest. Why was he texting Miss Rose? Why did he even have her number? She knew it was ridiculous to think in the manner she was doing but she could not help it. It was fine as long as she was not voicing it out or making a big deal from it. She nodded and looked at Jones' door as they approached it. "What does he want to see you for?" She asked and he shook his head. "I wish I knew,"
STREET KING: ASHLEY LOCKWOOD Chapter 90 - Honest Truths.
Archie was tired of the rollercoaster of emotions that he had been feeling the past few days but after a while, he felt bored and decided to stroll to the Lockwood mansion despite his hesitancy. "I don't think that you should go. Weren't you the one who complained about them treating you like trash and you still want to go?" His mother stopped him. He snorted, well it was his fault for not waiting until Marshall was around. "Mom, I have a question for you. Why did you leave him?" He asked softly while looking around to see if his father was in earshot. His mother stopped wiping the countertop, glaring at him instead."We've decided not to ever speak about it. It's all in the past and do you know what's interesting? It's the fact that you don't have to worry about our relationship, we are perfectly fine. We'll get over our issues with ease." She responded.Archie nodded while smiling right after. "In order words, it's none of my business. It's quite unsettling that both of you aft
STREET KING: ASHLEY LOCKWOOD Chapter 91 - No Interference.
Archie walked out of his hideouts and the parents were stunned by his appearance. There was no need for him to argue about anything. Instead he looked around and smiled at them, "I didn't know that something like this was happening between both of you." He interjected them.They went totally quiet, which he wanted. "I don't understand why you would deceive me for this long. You knew that you weren't my real father but you never found a day, nor the appropriate time to tell me? Is that even fair at all? There is nothing wrong with not being my father but the reason you're acting up to my mother is quite annoying." Archie defended his mother. Archie's father looked at the lad that he had raised in love who had now met someone who promised to do something for him now, "You can't talk to me in this manner." He chided him. "I don't know what you want me to say, Dad. I have a real father, that doesn't mean that I'll forget you. We don't need to argue about this." He replied.He stared at

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
