After flirtatious glances and secret dropped hints, Oliver finally convinced Felicity to at least have a secret and hidden life with him. They were together for about a year before Oliver went off to deal with his family's business with his father, when the ship they were on, the Queen's Gambit, sunk somewhere in the China sea.
Felicity was heartbroken when she heard that Oliver died, but she didn't believe it. Her friends and family urged her to continue, move on, and give up hope that Oliver was still alive.
Five years later, Felicity has before the Vice President of Queen Consolidated, she is in a successful relationship with Ray Palmer, a man that she has come to work with closely and she sometimes works for a freaky crazy psycho man in a green hood that suddenly appeared in Starling City. She saw him on the news and decided to track him down for a trade in company's secrets, but in the process, she learned that he wasn't some vigilante, he was a human being; a hero...
A hero that is deeply in love with her...
When his comrade, John Diggle says that he's putting Felicity in danger by being near her, he stays away, but it's too late. Felicity's kidnapped, and there's only one choice left for Oliver Queen - who's very alive - to make. What that choice is? Well, you'll have to read to find out!

When the Queen's Gambit capsized in the North China Sea, the world mourned with the Queen family over the loss of CEO and Philanthropist Robert Queen and his son, Oliver - Starling City's own beloved playboy, but weeks later when Oliver emerged from a remote Hawaiian love nest alive, oblivious, and with his girlfriend's SISTER, sympathy turned to suspicion. The ugliest of accusations flew and Oliver left behind the rich and privileged life he'd known.
Eight years after he vowed never to return home, Felicity Smoak arrives on his doorstep determined to change his mind. Clever, stubborn, cheerful and working for his mother, she is not his type though lord knows he's tempted. She sweeps in and suddenly everything he knew about his past is shaken.
When she offers to become his ally in uncovering the truth about his father's legacy, he can't walk away even though she comes with her own set of loyalties that put her in the heart of his estranged family. For eight years he's had no trouble keeping people at a distance, so why do all his instincts now cry out to keep her close?
This is an AU that has no island and no Green Arrow but does follow much of the canon as laid out in the show except without Oliver having come home to save his city. Also, while Laurel gets mentioned, she is not in this story.
