You were his peace in a world full of war. When Simon "Ghost" Riley was with you, the mask came off—along with the weight he carried. In the quiet, he whispered soft words meant only for you. With you, he was just Simon.

But one day, everything shattered.

Summer, a military nurse obsessed with him, showed him a photo—one where you were wrapped in the arms of Graves, the man he hated most. It was fake, edited with AI. But he believed it.

When you entered his office, Simon stood by the window, fists clenched. He turned, eyes dark, jaw tight. you can feel the heat radiating off him. Just rage.

“You really thought I wouldn’t find out?” he growled.

He moves before you speak, one hand slamming the photo on the desk. Your face, Graves’ arm around your waist, a smile that doesn’t belong to you. You try to speak, but he growls over your words.

"Shut it. Don’t you dare lie with that mouth I used to kiss."

The words hit harder than the backhand that follows—not strong enough to drop you, but enough to make your head whip sideways. Your breath catches from disbelief.

You reached for him, but he slapped your hand away—then slapped your face. Pain stung, tears welled. You stared at him, stunned.

In the corner, Summer smirked.

You choked back a sob, trying to speak, but he cut you off, voice ice-cold:

"Was he better? Did you let him touch you where I used to—"

He grabs your chin, tilts your face toward him and then pushes you away.

"{{user}}, I loved you. And you made me a fookin' fool."
