OLIVER CAGE: Return Of The Lionheart Chapter 172
The room was completely dipped in silence as both parties held each other's gaze, waiting for one to speak first. Oliver was seated on a chair next to Gerald's hospital bed. The air was choked with the pungent smell of antiseptics and drugs that made the experience worse for Oliver.It had been two days since Gerald had been in the hospital, but this was the first time Oliver was setting eyes on him. No matter how hard Oliver tried to push down his anger, he couldn't seem to forget how much of a scumbag Gerald had always been. And now, they sat before each other, struggling with internal deliberations until Gerald finally pierced through the silence with his hoarse voice."I'd repay you for this, I promise," He said, groaning as he got up. "I'd have died back there if it weren't for you. I couldn't possibly-""Stop patronizing me," Oliver interrupted harshly. "Rather, tell me why I was the only person you could reach out to. Is this another game of yours? Did Viktir send you?"Gerald,

A strange wave of anxiety reverberated through her bones as she stood by the door. The open icon pasted on the door wasn't enough reason for Elina to knock. The anxiety was eating her up from the inside, yet this step was necessary in the course of returning her peace of mind.After a while, Elina knocked, and a voice came from the other side of the door, ushering her in. This therapist was one of her closest friend's recommendations, and Elina planned to get the best out of it. The last couple of months had been a spiral from one traumatic experience to another. It had sucked her dry. The nightmares were consistent, but she couldn't leave. Her safety was dandling, and her father's foes would stop at nothing to use her as an avenue to punish him. There was no escaping it.Just as Gerald had done, there would be many more. And Elina wasn't ready for it. She needed to heal and become stronger. Quietly, she walked into the brown, furnished office where a man sat at the end of the room,

Alexander was well aware of his sister's hate for the Lionheart family. Every single one of them, especially Oliver's father. Gianna had gotten into a series of unfortunate happiness with that household.After all this while, it hadn't still ended. George Lionheart was gone, and Oliver was just as much of a nuisance as his father was. He poured his sister a glass and tossed it to her. Gianna downed it in a go, her hands ruffling her hair as memories from the past started to gush in, gnawing at her stability.Alexander could tell from the way Gianna paced the room that her anger had gone over the roof— as it always does. Gianna's heart started to ache. She hadn't healed at all after all this time had passed. It was shameful.Extremely shameful by a man who barely cared about anything but himself! Oliver's father was her unbecoming, and even in his death, his deeds remained deeply engraved in her heart. If she still had one.Gianna took another sip of the whiskey and slammed the glass o

The plush carpet muffled Michael's footsteps as he approached Oliver's office. Oliver's secretary eyed him with suspicion as he tried to make his way through without a prior appointment. Michael's attempts to charm her were met with skepticism until he resorted to some arguments that eventually persuaded her to announce his presence.With a stern-faced security guard walking behind him, Michael entered Oliver's office. The atmosphere was tense, and Oliver scrutinized him with a raised eyebrow, diverting his attention from the pile of files sitting on his desk.Michael extended a hand. "Oliver, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm John Reynolds, a lawyer. I've been following your career closely, and I believe I can be an invaluable asset to you." Oliver remained skeptical, eyeing Michael's outstretched hand before reluctantly shaking it. Who was this dude?Oliver had never seen him or heard of him. "What makes you think I need a lawyer?""Well, Oliver, let me show you." Michael placed fi

Bill entered Oliver's office wearing a troubled expression. Oliver glanced up from his paperwork, sensing an unusual tension. Something was up, as always. "Boss, we got a problem," Bill stated, hesitating slightly. Oliver leaned back in his chair, a questioning look in his eyes. "What's going on?""It's Andrew, your lawyer," Bill began. "He resigned suddenly, and no one has seen him since. It's like he vanished. Left the country, they say."Oliver's eyebrows furrowed in surprise. "Resigned? Without any notice?" He paused, his mind swerving to the unusual approach by Reynolds.Reynolds approached him three days ago, and suddenly Andrew was missing? There had to be a connection. "What the hell happened?"Bill sighed, choosing his words carefully. "According to the office buzz, he met with a strange man the day before he disappeared. The bar's CCTV recorded it when I checked. The fellow was able to avoid the cameras, though. Still, it didn't look like a friendly conversation."Oliver's

The restaurant buzzed with a low hum of chattering and soft music as Michael and Elina sat across from each other. Elina's eyes sparkled with a glint of excitement, wearing a wide grin that showed how happy she was to be with him."I'm really glad we could do this, Michael. I've been looking forward to it," Elina said, her voice filled with warmth. "And I think I'm getting better, thanks to you. I found love in my therapist!"Michael, keeping up a facade, nodded, forcing a smile. He seemed to dislike her the more he spent time with her."Me too, Elina. It's nice to spend some time together," He responded blandly.As they divulged into casual conversation, Elina couldn't hide her enthusiasm, sharing stories about her life and experiences as the daughter of Viktor Grey, while Michael, on the other hand, couldn't wait to get out of there.Halfway through the date, Michael took a deep breath, his gaze avoiding Elina's eyes. "Elina, there's something I need to tell you."Her excitement tur

In the midst of a shareholder meeting, Viktor Grey engaged in a lively conversation about expanding the company's reach, and ideas flowed freely among the group, discussing the potential growth and strategies.Viktor knew he had to act fast, especially now that Oliver was back in business. It was only a matter of time before he started losing to him.As the discussion commenced, a security official abruptly burst into the room, sweaty and disturbed. He looked like he'd been struggling.With urgency in his voice, he relayed to Viktor, "Mr. Grey, someone is attempting to enter. We tried to stop him, but he insisted on coming in.""If you'd please excuse me," He quickly said to the shareholders. Viktor, angered by the interruption, furrowed his brows. "Who is it? We have a large body of security officials, so who?!" He dropped his file on the podium and came down to attend to the matter at hand.Before he could get an answer, the doors swung open dramatically. Alexander, making a grand

The next day, Michael welcomed Rosa into his apartment, attempting to create any semblance of normalcy just so he had her tangled in his webs. She'd be of so much good to him if he played his cards right.Laughter echoed in the room as they shared stories and jokes, not to mention the frequent kisses Rosa gave him, which was even more confirmation that he had her. Michael couldn't help but feel excitement rumble in his stomach— the price of a job well done.As they settled on the couch, Rosa's smile faded into a more sober expression. "Michael, I can't help but feel guilty about Elina. I'm betraying her trust, and it hurts me. Do you know we've been friends for so long? I can't help but feel like I should tell her the truth, you know…about us."Michael, his eyes searching hers, reassured her, "Rosa, we're doing what we have to do. Elina will be fine, and in the end, it will all make sense. But I don't think it'd be a good idea to tell her now," He lied. "When it's the right time, I'll

"How is the child holding up?" Jake asked Viktor Grey over the phone while he fixed his attention on Stacy. The little child was obviously terrified, and the constant dripping of water from the leaking pipes made her even more unsettled."She is coping better than I imagined. Now all that is left is for us to kill that bastard cop and Oliver with it," Viktor Grey said to him."I know that Oliver will reach out soon. And when he does, I will be ready for him. You have dozens of my men to guard you there. You will be fine," Jake told Viktor Grey and then hung up. As soon as he did, Viktor returned his attention to Stacy.She whimpered and dragged herself back as he approached her..he had a wicked laugh on his face."Don't be afraid little one. I will not hurt you. I just want to hurt your daddy and the man he works with. You see, I used to have a daughter like you. Her name was Elina. She was very beautiful and she was brilliant. But the man your daddy works with killed her and so, I wa

"This can be a trap. Tell me why I must believe you," Oliver asked her and Beth sighed. She could not believe that she was making some sort of negotiation with Oliver."Left for me, you will be behind bars right now. But I am doing this for Steven and I am breaking my code to do it so do not make it harder than it already is," she said to him and Oliver smiled."I like you. Come with me," he told her and then led her to his study. Miranda was there clicking furiously on the systems there.. when Beth approached, she stopped what she was doing and then gazed at Beth for a while."Miranda, meet Beth, Beth Miranda. She's our eyses in the sky. I have a feeling that you'll both be friends. Beth, tell me where you think Stacy is," Oliver asked."Somewhere in St Lambert's City. The tiger gang has a secret hideout in St Lambert's that they use for various dangerous activities. My best guess would be that they brought her here to avoid suspicion from the cops. Besides, it was probably a diversi

"Heard what?" Oliver could feel his anger rising. The heat in the room suddenly increased and when he approachd Pascal, Pascal jerked back to avoid the possible punch that was coming his way "I did not know about Mia. I am really sorry Oliver. I am broken beyond what you can imagine. And I am furious! I am so furious that I wan to vent my anger on someone and I don't know who," Pascal said to him."And why are you here then? To vent your anger on me?" Oliver asked while raising his eyebrow. Pascal sighed defeated as his shoulders dropped."No, not at all. I just came here to help you in your mission.. I know that you will not sit tight and watch those who killed her be at peace. I know that you will destroy them. So I want to join you. Please Oliver forgive me. I need your forgiveness. I know that I do not deserve it but I just want you to please forgive me," he said to oliver. Oliver did not feel his anger subside, not even for a moment. He gazed at Pascal again and Wondered what mi

"No, fuck! This cannot he happening to me!" Steven tried to breath as the words found their way out of his mouth but he just could not fathom the degree of pain that he was feeling. Anger would not help him at that time he thought. Jake had decided to Target his family and the only way that he was getting his family back was if met Jake's forces with one that was equal to the task, or if he surrenders.Steven quickly took the phone. He dialed Oliver's number and waited for him to pick up the phone."Steven," Oliver said as soon as he picked us up."Oliver. He has my daughter. That bastard has taken my daughter and I do not know what to do. He said he'll send me a location to meet with him and I have to decide whether or not I'll give my life for her," Steven blurted out."Take it easy Steven. Nothing will happen to your daughter or to you. I will ensure it," Oliver told him."But what can you do? Jake said that you cannot help me. My only option is to die for my daughter to live. I ha

"Like we said earlier, we do not allow anyone without an invitation to pass. I don't care if you are the chief of police. You are not stepping into this house," the guard repeated and that made Steven to wonder just how bad it is that the police force in Marshtown had fallen. If they could have no respect for his badge, then he just had to beat the living shit out of them"Let me pass. I will not ask you again," Steven said to the guards. One of them brought out his gun and gazed at Steven with fierce eyes."You need to leave now, mister or we will have a oribkemy," he said to Steven and just as Steven was about to make a move at them, the front door opened.. it was the judge"Let him through. He and I have some catching up to do," the judge said and the bodyguards let Steven pass. Steven followed the judge to The living room and there the judge settled himself into a chair. He even appeared to be Richer than he was some months ago."I can see that you are back from the dead, Steven.

"Chief, what are you doing here?" Steven asked the chief as he slowly approached him. The chief paid close attention to the files that was in Steven's hands and then his eyes roamed to Steven's."Don't tell me you still plan on pursuing that case. I told you it was dangerous, Steven and you do not want to listen to me. That case will get you killed," the chief said and Steven dropped the files in his hand. He paid a closer look to the chief and for real he could see worry in the man's face."I don't understand. Why are you telling me all of this?" He asked the chief really desperate for answers. The chief sighed."When the tiger gang found out that you were following them, they planned to have you killed. They reached out to me and asked me to do the job otherwise they would kill my family. I tried to beg them but they were adamant. They would not take no for an answer. So, I made up my mind about you," the chief stopped, and then observed the dark face that Steven was wearing at that

"Come in, you will be safe here," Bill said to Avira. She gazed into the well furnished apartment before she stepped inside. The warmth of the place enveloped her and for a moment, she was feeling secure."I still don't understand why I'm hwre. I told you I was fine. You didn't need to go through all of this for me," she told him."Nonsense. You were lucky that day that you stepped out to get coffee while he explosion occurred. If Oliver's enemies wanted to know something about him, who do you think will be in the best position to tell them what's happening with him? Of course it's his secretary. I want to keep you safe so that no harm will come to you," he added. Avira could feel her heart melting. But she refused to admit it."Well in that case, I hope there is something to drink. Where are we exactly?" She asked him."This is my house. I come here sometimes to relax for a moment and then focus my thoughts." He told her."You are really loyal to Oliver.

Oliver drove his car to the address on the envelope. It was an expensive restaurant, one that he had planned to visit with Mia after their honeymoon. He shoved back the painful thoughts and then stepped down from the car. Oliver gazed the entrance one more time and then stepped into the restaurant."Good evening sir, how may I be of assistance?" A waiter asked him and then oliver smiled."Good evening. I am looking for this table," he said and then showed her the number on the envelope. The girl smiled at him again."Please come with me sir," she said and then led him away. Oliver followed her closely, and as they walked through the scanty place, he could feel the eyes of some people on him. He knew who they were immediately, they were part of Jake's group."In here sir," she said to him and Oliver Stepped into the room that she was pointing towards. As soon as he entered the well decorated space, he looked around.There were beautiful lighting all over the place and the large chairs

"So you mean to tell me that that lowlife cop decided to show again in my town?" Jake asked over the phone and the chief of police sighed"I gave him explicit warnings and told him not to ever return to this town but he did not listen. I don't know how he managed to work his way back. My instructions were very clear on him sir. That cop Should never set foot in Marshtown, that was what I said." The chief of police stated and Jake laughed."It seems like he is begging to die. I suppose that I should Grant his wish then. If he wants death, who am I to say that I will not kill him?" He said to the chief of police."Give him some time sir. I am sure that I can persuade him to return to St Lambert's City. He cannot gain anything from being here. He will only make things worse. He came back and started accusing the tiger gang of being responsible of some crimes. I will take care of him myself. You do not need to worry," the chief of police stated. He wanted to save Steven's life at least.
