The Mark Book 1

What happens when the player becomes the played? Damian is a well-known player until he meets Haley Cunningham. Haley captures his eye; however, unlike the rest of his conquests, she doesn’t seem to be the least bit interested. It throws him off. However, it also makes it more exciting. Haley becomes his mark. He’s willing to do anything and everything to spend one night with her, even if that means putting aside his playboy ways. After a recent acquisition, Stone Enterprises is set for the expansion of the century. The only thing delaying the expansion is Damian Stone, the younger brother of owner Zane Stone. Zane spends most of his time in Europe to begin work on the new company. The only problem is that Damian’s playboy ways are standing in the way of taking over Zane’s role. Stone Enterprises is a prestigious tech firm with a strong reputation. This means that Damian must choose between a quick lay and a first-time relationship to keep its reputation. Will he succeed? Or will the company risk being placed in the hands of its enemies? Damian is hell-bent on keeping up his bachelor lifestyle until Zane presents him with the offer of a lifetime. Zane will gift his younger brother the company if he can succeed in dating one girl. Sounds easy? Perhaps not. Zane knows his brother too well and decides to make a few rules that Damian must agree to in order for him to take ownership. Damian must stay in a relationship with the girl for at least seven months. Damian can not see any other girl. That even includes the “quick lay” that Damian has grown accustomed to. Not only that, but Zane also gets to pick the girl as well. Will Damian succeed? Or is he doomed to fail?

50. Do You Love Me?

...Damian POV...

One word. That's all that was said, but it managed to tell so much. With that one word, I was left with so many questions. Why was she afraid of the Cobras? Were they still after her? I was sure Jessica had handled them, but perhaps there was something she missed. The more I looked at her now; I could see that she was petrified. So I pulled her into my arms, showing her that there was nothing to be afraid of. I would do everything in my power to keep her safe. But I need to know what she wasn't telling me. It was clear that the Cobras had terrified the hell out of her. I needed to know why she was so afraid.

"Tell me. What's going on? What are you afraid of." I asked.

Then as if I was in a movie, she pushed me away and became a different person altogether. She looked around nervously as she got down from the car as if looking for something or someone. Once she saw no one was nearby, she stepped away from me.
