Destiny Rewritten

Chapter 130

"So, you're finally going to see Kazumi?" Laurel asked her husband.

"It's something I should've done before now. I've been keeping tabs on her ever since we saved her." Oliver said.

"But you realize that she's not going to trust you right?" Laurel asked.

"She will if she knows I saved her life." Oliver said.

"You're going to tell her you're the Green Arrow?" Laurel asked.

"Lies and secrets ruined her's and Emiko's lives. She needs to know the truth." Oliver said.

"As long as you're sure, since once you do that, there's no going back and there's a good chance she might turn you in." Laurel said.

"I know. But that's a chance I have to take." Oliver said as he took a deep breath.

Kazumi Adachi was currently trying to find a place she could afford to live in when there was a knock on the door of the hotel she was staying in.

Assuming that it was her daughter, Kazumi opened the door without checking and to her surprise, Oliver Queen was standing on the other side.

"Oliver Queen." Kazumi said.

"Ms. Adachi, can I come in please?" Oliver asked.

"That depends, why are you here?" Kazumi asked.

"To apologize for everything my parents put you and your daughter through." Oliver said.

"How do you know about that?" Kazumi asked, though she showed Oliver in anyways, since if he was apologizing, she wanted to hear it.

"I've spent a lot of time lately learning about all the wrongdoings of my parents and I've been trying to make them right." Oliver said.

"Including what your parents did to me and Emiko." Kazumi said and Oliver nodded.

"I am truly sorry for what they did to you. And you should know that before my father died, he did have genuine regrets over what he did to you." Oliver said as he showed Kazumi the letter his father had written.

"Well this never happened." Kazumi said.

"Because my mother got to this letter before Walter saw it. He was just as horrified by this as I was." Oliver said.

"So Robert did regret what he did." Kazumi said and Oliver nodded.

"I've devoted my life to righting his wrongs and while I know I can't make up for everything he did to you, I can at least offer you this." Oliver said as he handed Kazumi a piece of paper.

"A check?" Kazumi asked.

"No, I found out where you and your daughter used to live before my father forced you to relocate to the Glades and I bought the building. Your old apartment is yours if you want it and as the landlord, you won't have to pay at least as much on the lease, simply because I can't show too much favoritism to any one tennant." Oliver said and Kazumi nodded, since that sounded reasonable.

"Thank you, but can I have some time think about this." Kazumi asked.

"Of course, here's my number, let me know when you've made your decision." Oliver said.

"You know this doesn't make up for what your father did." Kazumi said.

"I know. But at the very least, I'm hoping it will help prove to people that I am not my father." Oliver said.
