Oliver Lane: The Rise Of A Young Master

CHAPTER 3

The day after the incident, Oliver was still in pain, it was quite a blow he received the day before by Mafia Tristan's goons.

Even though he was in pain, he was glad the life of his girlfriend was no longer in danger and that she was healthy.

But then his head was filled with thoughts on how to pay back the heavy debts, he has accrued.

The money has amounted to one million, two hundred thousand dollars due to the heavy interest rates that comes along with it.

As he thinks about what step to take to end this turmoil in his life, Patricia his girlfriend and woman was busy eating some crispy chips as she texts away.

( Patricia )

"Hi babe."

(Jenny love)

"Hi sweetie."

"I have a lot to talk to you about, it's really troubling me, I can't seem to decide, I am lost."

"Okay talk to me."

"It's about Oliver."

"Alright what about him?"

"He is in a whole lot of trouble and I don't know what to do."

"Tell me everything."

"He has mortgaged the house out to the bank and collected money from Mafia Tristan."

"Wait a minute, Mafia Tristan the most dangerous man alive?"

"Yes."

"Why would he want to do something as dangerous as that?"

"To save me from dying, apparently, I had a rare disease and he had no choice but to do that to save me."

"That's a lot, a cleaner owing someone such huge amount of money, I mean how was he thinking he is gonna pay up? So he has nothing now I suppose, since he already resigned from his working place."

"Yes precisely why I needed your advice."

"Well that is a lot of stuff, if he has nothing, then you dump him and move on, I told you from the start that he was nothing to write home about, but you were head over heels for him. Anyway, I think it's time you let him go or would you prefer to be so poor you won't be able to change your nails?"

"Come on Jennifer, that's not a nice thing to say to me a lady has to be able to do at least that."

"Okay, fine... sorry if it isn't but it's the truth, you needed my advice and that's about it. Look here Pat, you know I care about you and that is the exact reason why I will tell you the truth and the best thing for you to do. Break up with him."

"Break up? Where will I see someone who gives in to my every whim, and besides give me a good reason why I should do that, he fucking saved my life."

"Which we are grateful for, any other person could have done it. Look here, just because he helped save you and that you are happy, that doesn't mean you have to slave for him, it's the least he could do for the love you've given him for the past three years. So it's time to let him go, he won't be able to take care of himself talk more of you, you are in essence helping him out here."

"But, he got into this situation because of me."

"No, he didn't. Look, isn't it about time you started another relationship? He has no job, no money and to crown it up he will be homeless and in much debts. Come on, do you even know what Mafia Tristan does to those who owes him? He kills them off so you better move on and start a life, besides if you stay one more minute and Tristan's men sees you with him you are going to be in a whole lot of trouble."

"I don't get it."

"You might get involved in it and eventually get killed, you have no idea what he does, rumors has it that he uses the organs of his debtors to pay back their debts if I were you I would run for my dear life, that's my advice you can take it or leave it dear, so what is it going to be?"

"Oh no, then I better break up with him right now, but I can't be alone, I need a man to play coy with, you know?"

"Jeez, I am sure we can figure something out or someone suitable to your tastes, you best get out of that relationship and fast, no man is worth your life."

"Thanks darling, thanks for giving me your fine wisdom."

"Haha... I gotta go chat you up later."

Patricia stopped chatting and decided she had to do everything to save her life.

Meanwhile, Oliver was just lost in thoughts with no idea of what was happening with his girlfriend.

He was so busy thinking of what else to venture into so as to pay off these debts before they come for his life or his girlfriend's. While he was doing that, his girlfriend stood up from the couch and walked up to him.

"Oliver we need to talk."

"What about?"

"Everything that is going on... I have been thinking about it." She said.

"Okay, so talk to me. Any solutions?"

"I need to leave for a little while."

Hearing this, Oliver stood up abruptly and sat on the couch because what he just heard was shocking.

The pain he was feeling, was the least of his concerns at the moment, he needed to address this situation.

"What are you talking about babe, you can't seriously be saying such a thing, where could you possibly go to?" He asked.

"Look Oliver, it seems you don't know what is going on right now, anytime I go to bed, I feel like I could get shot, I don't feel safe here. I don't want to leave but I have to." Patricia said.

"What are you saying? You can't do this to me babe, come on. Whatever it is I did I am sorry, let's find a way to sort it out." Oliver said pleadingly almost tearing up.

"I just need to clear my head and think of something because I can't be here, I keep looking over my shoulders every damn time."

"Where... where will you go to? Where will you stay?" Oliver asked stammering.

"At Jenifer's."

"Come on, I don't want you to go there, how will I be able to cope without you here? Please don't leave, if you are scared of those goons hurting you, I assure you I will do everything I can to pay it back you don't have to worry about that, just don't leave."

"Oli... I can't stay here anymore, I..."

"Please babe, just don't leave me alone right now, I need you in my life babe, no... no you are not leaving."

"This isn't up to you Oliver, you put me in this mess in the first place, you know how I have always wanted to live a peaceful life and now you go ahead and do this? This decision isn't yours to make okay? It is mine, staying here for another minute is dangerous to my safety. I am leaving whether you like it or not." Patricia said outrightly.

"Come on babe, please just stay. I will..."

"Don't try to stop me, my mind is already made up." Patricia said and went to the bedroom and began packing up her things.

Oliver strode towards the room and asked,

"Are you really serious about this? Come on babe."

"I am not having this conversation with you anymore." Patricia said sternly

"How long will you stay with her?" Oliver asked.

"I will stay with her for some several days, I need to clear my head so I don't know how long." Patricia said.

"But can't you just stay here? I will make sure they don't harm you." Oliver said trying to stop her but her mind was already made up.

"Are you even listening to me, I can't stay here, I can't keep looking over my shoulders like some criminal, you think I want to leave? Well I don't, it's all your fault for going to Tristan's ask for money, in the first place, I mean what good is it, if they kill me?" She yelled out.
