Oliver Lane: The Rise Of A Young Master

CHAPTER 5

This took Oliver by surprise, he had never seen Patricia in such light, it was more like the woman standing in front of him was a different version from the one he has come to know in the past three years. But he didn't want to believe it, he just felt she was stressed about everything that is happening and felt like he could still reach her heart and make her see sense. 

Oliver did everything he could to calm her down but Patricia just wouldn't give him face, she remained adamant that she was done with the relationship, he began to wonder where he had gone wrong in the relationship.

"Come on Babe, if I did something wrong let's discuss it and I promise I won't ever do it again... If it's about the debts you shouldn't be mad since I got into all of those because of you in the first place."

"What are you insinuating? That I asked you to go into debt?" Patricia asked 

"No, but I did all of those to save your life, you were dying Patricia, I can't live without you, so I did all of that to make sure you are alive and well."

"No one asked you to save me, or did I? Now that you have, I appreciate that, but I cannot be with you anymore, you need to fix yourself... and just maybe there will be someone out there to love you, if you could pay off Mafia Roland's usury in one piece that is, but as for me, I am done with us." Patricia said 

This was shocking to Oliver he couldn't believe it, it was like a movie. He was trying to process everything he just heard from his girlfriend for whom he had gone to great lengths to keep alive, he felt like he was a fool. While processing it, the man who was standing beside his girlfriend said

"Oh that must be so exhilarating babe, you having him for a boyfriend for three whole years and he couldn't come up with just a million dollars without falling apart? What has he been doing for all these years? Something my dog feeds with every two days? Preposterous." Ian Harrison said

"Shut your stinking mouth you bastard, you have no fucking right to interfere in this discussion." Oliver yelled out 

"Oh please I get that you are upset with the fact that your girlfriend is now mine, but the truth is one million dollars is nothing at all, and for someone your age not to have such in their possession is weird, even middle class people have such amounts. I guess you are from the trenches." Ian said and this got Oliver so mad that he yelled out in rage

"You better shut your mouth or else I will shut it up for you."

"What are you going to do hit me again? I can sue you and you will pay even more than what you are currently looking for." Ian said 

Oliver was ready he didn't care about being sued, at that very moment every emotion in him was boiling, the fibre in his body wanted to put Ian in his place and so he punched Ian so hard on his face, that the latter was bleeding from his lips.

Ian spits out the blood smiled and said

"This just proves how much of a loser you are, nothing more... you will pay for this." Ian then took out his phone about to dial a number, when Patricia said

"Ian babe, don't do that, he is already in a whole lot of mess at the moment so come on let's go, be the bigger person okay?"

"This ex boyfriend of yours is really asking for it, no one gets away with hitting me." Ian said indignant 

After much persuasion from Patricia, she managed to stop Ian from pressing charges against him, promising to make it worth his while later tonight if he doesn't and Ian gave in. So the duo both walked away holding onto each other ever so intimately leaving Oliver standing there dumbfounded.

He wanted to walk towards where he had parked his old truck but his legs were to heavy for him to carry, he felt humiliated and was in pain. He didn't know what else to do, the one person he was fighting for, the one person he went through a great deal and to so many lengths for had betrayed him, he felt like his whole world has ended.

Oliver just sat down on the floor of the street, he didn't care about anyone's opinion of him, even though people were passing by and wondering how a young, handsome looking man would sit on the floor of all places. But then his mind was not even there, his heart was filled with grief, his head was about to explode.

Someone who was excited a while back was feeling like dying, as he began thinking of where to go, his phone beeped. He was startled by this gesture, he reluctantly brought it out and found out there was a message for him.

It was from the bank he had earlier gone to collect a loan, they were threatening him to pay up. Seconds later his phone began to ring, he picked up slowly, it was the bank management.

"Good day Mr Oliver Lane, you are owing the bank a very huge amount and that means you will have to vacate your property if you fail to meet up. I believe a text was sent to you via email in case you haven't seen it, you are given no less than three days to pay back or vacate the property... thank you."

Hearing this he felt like it would be best to give up on life after all his life was not worth keeping anyway, or so he thought.

He was lost in thoughts and thinking of what else he needed to do, what steps to take but then again he had no where else to go, no one to share his feelings with, no one to come to his aid.

While pondering, a van pulled up in front of him and a group of men dressed in all black, rushed out of it and dragged Oliver into it and drove off in high speed.

"Who are you? What did I do to you let me out." Oliver said in pain

"Silence." A bold voice said

"Please let me go, I have done nothing wrong, please don't hurt me let me go." Oliver said in panic and fear.

It turns out he was disturbing the men in the van when one of them punched him in the guts and that was enough to shut him up, just then a black hood was placed over his head.
