Oliver was up the whole night thinking of what had happened the night before. The girl he had met on the plane the same girl who worked for his family's company had been kidnapped by the Bratva, she was here. He couldn't wrap his head around it, he had known all the women here were innocent and most of them did not have a choice in being here but it was different with Felicity this time round. This time round he felt because he knew her on some level meaning it was personal this time round.

He finally left his room he hadn't come up with a way of getting her out of here it wasn't as easy as the other women he had set free, he knew because she was American there was a bigger appeal which meant she was guarded at all times. Oliver walked through halls of the Bratva's Captain's house in search of the black haired woman who he learned from Diggle was called the witch.


He finally found the room that he had been looking for however before he could knock he was stalled by one of the Captain's second in command who gestured for him to join him for breakfast. Oliver turned and smiled and followed the man through to the room. Inside the dining area the most trusted and high ranking men of the Bratva sat with their guards and men standing watch. Oliver took a seat and patted one of the other captain's back. The room was filled with laughter from the men as everyone dug in to their feast of a breakfast. As Oliver looked round at where to begin to eat he noticed the familiar blonde head. He shot up and looked straight in her direction, she stood in the kitchen plating some of the food. She was dressed in a very skimpy outfit which hugged her curves and showed off her long legs. Oliver held his breath as she turned and walked towards the table placing some of the plates down. She did not make eye contact with him but focused on the task at hand.

He could see his markings on her and noticed her trembling hands. As she placed another plate down one of the men second in command smacked her ass much to Oliver's annoyance. He watched her flinch and quickly head to the kitchen with the last remaining plates. As Felicity placed one of the plates down she accidentally knocked over some orange juice which spilled onto the lap of the Captain who held his operations in China. The man growled and turned back handing her, everyone stopped as they heard the full force of the slap. The slap had Felicity's head turning to the side in pain and her legs gave way and she fell to the floor holding her cheek.

Oliver clenched his fists under the table unable to do anything. He saw red and wished nothing more than to snap the man's neck. He watched Felicity get up and retreat out of the room and all of a sudden Oliver lost his appetite. After a few moments he excused himself and went to search for her.

"In the basement" Diggle said as he folded his arms. "What are you doing man, you know that I don't wish any harm on her but you are playing a dangerous game"

"Move Diggle" he growled staring the man down. Walking down the stairs of the basement he heard voices or sounds that more sounded like moaning. He moved faster and saw one of the men of the Captain's with his hands all over Felicity. She was crying and trying to fight him off but the man was having none of it.

Oliver took out his pocket knife and moved towards the man pulling him back by his hair and he ran the knife along his throat.

Felicity gasped and looked in horror as her attacker fell to his knees gasping until he took his last breathe and bled out right in front of her. She looked up at Oliver trembling.

"Are you …" he moved closer to place his hand on her elbow but she moved back in fear. "…Alright? I'm not going to hurt you" he stepped closer again as she moved back.

"Let me go then" she begged.

"Can't do that …" he was about to say just not yet when the Captain and couple of his men came down after hearing the commotion followed closely by Diggle.

"Что это?" the Captain asked. "Well?" he asked this time in English.

"I told the witch that this one was mine then I come here to him all over her" Oliver said shielding Felicity slightly.

"You kill my man to protect this whore" The Captain yelled.

"She is new … I asked for her to be mine during my stay I do not like to share … I'm sure you understand" Oliver smirked.

The Captain smiled but Oliver was still not out of it, "looked like your whore was enjoying the attention from my man" he said raising his eyebrow. Oliver knew what he was doing, the Captain was testing him, the Captain had been aware before that some of his men were lenient to the women.

Oliver turned to face Felicity hating what he was about to do, he blinked a couple of times trying to convey how sorry he was for what he was about to do. "Is that true whore did you enjoy it?" he asked. Felicity looked at him in fear her lip stuttering. Oliver closed his eyes knowing that when he opened them again he had to be the very thing he hated, the monster he was.

"Wha …" Oliver wrapped his hand around her throat and put pressure on her neck slightly. Felicity began to panic and huff for air. Tears streamed down her face terrified of what he was about to do.

"Did I say you can talk?" Felicity shook her head as Oliver released her, she laid her hands over her bruised neck.

The Captain laughed and his men joined in as he turned to leave gesturing for one of his men to clear up the dead body.

"Felicity" Oliver said in a sad tone as he moved to console her. She rushed past him and ran up the stairs.

"Oliver man you did the right thing" Diggle told him patting him on the back.

"How Diggle … how I … hurt her … this is so messed up I need to get her out of here" he rubbed his face.


Later on that night just as he requested for Felicity to be his there was a knock at his door. Felicity entered and he immediately noticed the bruises round her neck, the bruises he had caused he had never laid a hand on a woman before. He was disgusted in himself for what he did to her. He then noticed the bruise on her cheek from the slap and then he noticed that she was wearing a silk robe. She did not meet his eyes nor did he say anything, she undid her robe and let it drop revealing a green matching set, it was lace and she wore it with stockings. She swallowed and walked up to him unbuttoning his shirt.

As much he enjoyed the feel of her he gripped her wrist freezing her in place. "Felicity"

"I was told to come in here and show you a good time now please …"

"No" he shook his head, "I am so sorry I hurt you" he whispered letting go of her wrists. Felicity picked up her robe and put it back on.

"Fine I will just tell the witch and she will just give me to another" she said causing Oliver to quickly stop her by wrapping his arm round her waist lifting her from the ground and pulling her towards the bed.

"Let me go" she yelped.

"No" he put her on the bed and she started to try and fight him he took hold of her hands and pinned them above her head. She cried in frustration and tried to kick him but she pinned himself between her legs. "Hey … hey" he yelled. "If I didn't do that not only would I be dead but you would be to, I would never hurt you … I am working on trying to find a way out of here for you I promise" he searched her eyes which refused to meet his.

"Hey … I swear it … I will get you out here … that is why I asked for you to be mine …" he let go of her hands and removed himself from her.

Felicity leaned back against the headboard and looked at him finally. "I just … want to go home" she whispered. Oliver sat on the edge of the bed and dried her tears.

"I know … I want that too" he stood up, grabbing his grey track suit bottoms and then grabbed one of his tops which had long sleeves and was blue. He handed them to her and turned around giving her privacy.

Felicity quickly changed gratefully, Oliver was then by her side again with cream in his hands. "Trust me" it was more of a question that asking her to. When she nodded he gently applied some the cream onto her neck and some on her cheek. Felicity closed her eyes from his touch.

"Thank you" she whispered.

Oliver nodded. "Sleep I will wake you before the witch arrives to take you back to your room, I will let everyone know that you're mine … if anybody tries anything you come find me ok"

Felicity nodded as she pulled the covers and snuggled in closing her eyes. Oliver stood and walked over the couch and sunk down closing his eyes also he was tired and didn't know what the next few days would bring. All he knew was that he needed to protect her and ensure she got out of this. But if today was anything he needed to protect her from himself the most.
