Chapter 1
Oliver was so angry he couldn't see straight. Two months he had her, and he threw it away like it was nothing.
Felicity had come running from her office in tears because of that jerk.
Straight into Diggle's arms as she cried from embarrassment and heartbreak.
"I wasn't good enough" she mumbled into his shirt.
My fist clenched in both pain and jealousy for her. If I had only been there for her, she would have been running into my arms instead of my former bodyguards.
Felicity glanced up from John's shirt and her large watery eyes met mine. She immediately registered the look of utter anger on my face.
"Don't" she said, "Don't even think about it".
She knew me so well. She could read me like no one else and could anticipate my next move even before I could.
"It's not his fault", she whimpered, "I just wasn't his to love".
That got John's attention and he gave me a stern look that communicated I had every right to do what I was about to do.
"I'm gonna kill him. I'm gonna rip him to shreds for what he did to you".
Felicity was immediately taken back by my aggression. Gratitude seemed to flicker in her eyes into she got really mad and started speed walking towards me.
"You have no right" she shouted. "No right. You didn't want me and neither did he, so don't go justifying yourself now". She poked me in the chest hard and turned to storm out.
That hurt a lot more than I anticipated. It was like she ripped a hole in my chest from her accusations. Does she really believe that I could be so cruel? That I could ever stop loving her, or reject her out of my own free will?"
I watched as the door to Verdant slammed shut and she disappeared from view.
From that moment on, I knew something had to change. I couldn't bear to see the woman I love suffer because of me, or any man for that matter.
"Go after her" Diggle said quietly, "before it's too late", he sighed.
My throat felt tight and I nodded my head. Felicity would know how loved she was by the end of the night. That was something I promised.
