2022-11-05 17:00:08...Haley POV...
It's been nearly a week since I last saw Damian. However, he continued to come by Jessica's place every day. He would come three times a day. Once before work, once at lunchtime, and once in the evening. He would drop off lunch for me every day. I was genuinely surprised by what I was witnessing. It was like a brand new Damian. He seemed to know he messed up and was desperate for my apology for whatever reason.
Every morning he would get me my favourite coffee from the cafe near our condo. He then would also surprise me with a delicious breakfast. Then, in the evening, he would give Jess presents for me. So far, he had given me flowers, chocolate, a teddy bear, and even a necklace. One evening he had even ordered me a pizza and had the word sorry written across it with M&M's just like in the princess diaries. I found his gesture rather cute. But that's all it was. A gesture. While his gestures were beautiful, it wasn't what I wanted. I

I was happy that Zach was gone when I left Damian's office. I wanted to talk to Damian without anyone judging me for doing so. I knew Zach probably wouldn't. But he would have his own thoughts about what we were going to talk about. I just didn't want to deal with any of that.I smiled as I saw Damian sitting in Zane's chair. Zane had gone back to Europe a while ago and probably wouldn't be back for at least a couple of months. So in the meantime, his office was free to use. However, I didn't want Damian to feel like he had to keep his distance from me. Rather, I would prefer to work together like we should've done from the start.Damian didn't seem to notice me at first as I watched him by the door. However, he must've noticed my presence somehow, as I saw him look up with a giant smile on his face. His smile was quickly replaced with a look of fear and apprehension."You didn't like the office, did you." Damian remarked timidly."Damian." I called out.

The next couple of weeks went by smoothly. Damian and I had gotten much closer. Now that our relationship had been fixed, the tension between us had been removed. I now saw Damian in a whole new light. After dropping my annoyance at him, I began to see how incredible he truly was. He was by far one of the most analytical thinks I had ever met. Whenever he was faced with a problem, he had already thought of at least three solutions to fix it. His mind was always on the go, working hard to make sure everything ran smoothly.I began to see why everyone wanted him to be the next CEO after Zane moved to Europe. Not only was Damian an incredible thinker, but he was also responsible for a large amount of their newer products. Zane had designed the original products that had made them famous. But since Stone Enterprises was established, Damian had mostly been the one responsible for the new tech. I could see the difference between the two brothers. Zane and Damian both had interests

...Damian POV...I was excited. I was finally getting closer to having Haley for myself. I had devoted my time to making her happy. Once she was happy with me, I stood a better chance to win her over. I had contacted Colton and asked him to pick up her coffee before picking her up. I found out that she wasn't a big fan of breakfast, so I decided not to continue getting it for her.I made sure that there was a new arrangement of flowers on her desk every day. I knew how much she loved flowers. I wanted to get her unique ones, staying away from the traditional roses, tulips, and carnations. I loved how they put a smile on her face each time she saw them as she walked into the office.I started hiding notes for her to find. Notes with small endearments inside. Such as 'I love your smile.' 'Your presence makes my day brighter.' I would smile each time I saw her blush after reading my notes.We had lunch together each day. As long as the weather was good, I wo

"Damian?" I gasped, not believing what I was seeing."Yes?" He replied smugly."Why are we heading towards a helicopter?""You sure do ask a lot of questions. I thought you said you wanted me to surprise you." Damian smirked.He spun me around then, letting my feet touch the ground. I couldn't help the smile that crossed my face from the rush. Once on the ground, I reached up onto my tiptoes and kissed him.Damian smiled into our kiss."Does that mean you like it?""Well, I can't say for certain. All you've done is show me a helicopter. Can't say I'm all that impressed." I said, shrugging my shoulders, faking boredom.Damian looked at me with an all-knowing expression. He smiled then grabbed my hand as we both ran towards the helicopter."I guess I better get on with the next part of this date then." He said, kissing my nose once more.I smiled as Damian helped me into the helicopter. It was truly amazing. I

The next few months went off without a hitch. Damian and I had grown much closer. I had learned that he fell into the technology sector because of his love of helicopters. He had always been drawn to aircraft. But when his brother founded Stone Enterprises, he decided to work for him instead. I liked that Damian was spending more time recently on what he loved. The design aspect of things.It didn't take long for the media to find out that we were dating. I knew it was one of the downsides of dating a Billionaire, but we never let it bother us. The good side was at least Scarlett stopped showing her face around the office. However, while others knew that Damian was taken, other girls seemed to see that as a challenge. The media were no help either, as they were constantly waiting to find Damian in a compromising position. So Damian had hired a bodyguard for both himself and me for that reason alone.Even though the Paparazzi were more interested in Damian messing

I started to look around, hoping to make it back out of the building. I was about to pull out my earbud to listen better when I heard Damian on the other end of the line."Don't hang up. Stay on the line. I'll be there as soon as I can.""Ok." I whispered, hoping no one would overhear me. I quickly spun around to head towards the entrance when I heard someone cock a gun from behind."Don't move. Or I'll shoot." A gruff man's voice said from behind me.I immediately stopped dead in my tracks. I could feel tears prick the side of my face. I raised my hands in a sign of surrender."Who are you?" The man called out."No one. If you let me go, I promise I won't tell anyone. I never even saw you." I whimpered. I knew Damian could hear me, but he remained silent. I was thankful, as the man behind didn't know I had someone on the phone. Since my hair was down, he couldn't see the earpod in my ear."Turn around." The man commanded."No.

...Damian POV...I couldn't believe what was happening right now. One moment, everything was ok. The next, everything seemed to go to complete hell. I felt like I was having an out-of-body experience right now. I was too stunned to realize what was really happening. The woman that had single-handedly changed my life was now being held at gunpoint. I desperately wanted to get her out of there, but I couldn't figure out how. I had hoped that by stalling, the police would have enough time to get there. So while I listened to what was going on, I texted Zach and Zane to let them know what was happening. I was stuck at a traffic light. However, traffic didn't seem to be moving.Zach informed me that he had contacted the police, and they should be there soon. I knew that was a lie because I've been trying to get there for twenty minutes now. Traffic was at a complete standstill.I nearly lost it when I heard them shoot her not once but three times. As if t

I was driving myself insane. After we got to the hospital, the doctors rushed her into surgery. I had to look away from her at one point. She had been shot four times. Once on her arm, one in her leg, in her shoulder, and another near her heart. It was the bullet near her heart we were all worried about. There was no exit wound, which meant the bullet was still inside her. Not only that but because of using the AED, there was a good chance the bullet may have shifted, causing her internal bleeding. The medical team had managed to revive her. However, she hadn't actually woken up yet. So I began to wonder if she ever would.I took the seat next to her in the ambulance and held her hand the entire time. I kissed the back of her hand, hoping she would come back to me.Now that she was in surgery, I felt like I was going to wear a hole in the floor outside the surgical room. I wasn't allowed in, not that I really wanted to. I would've just been in the way or passed out fro

The Mark 119. Epilogue
...Fifteen Years Later......Haley POV...It's hard to believe that Damian and I have been married for fifteen years already. So much has happened in such a short amount of time. We experienced so many firsts together. First the birth of the twins, their first steps, as well as Sienna's first steps. Then there was preschool, middle school, high school, along with so many more precious memories. I couldn't believe how fast time had gone by. It seemed as though we were just saying our vows, but as I look at our kids playing in the backyard, a smile creeps on my face.I still remember that day as if it was yesterday. After our impromptu wedding, Damian took me aside to explain what had happened. He was just amazed that I had pulled it off without a hitch. Little did he realize how much help I received. After his initial shock wore off, I decided to explain to him why I had chosen that particular venue for our wedding. When he realized that the home we were at was ours, he was over the mo

I felt on edge. Was I seeing properly? When I had taken the turn around the house, I had face to face with a large crowd. They all immediately jumped to their chairs and clapped. My eyes went wide in astonishment. What in the sam's blazes was going on right now?My eyes scanned the crowd which is when I noticed a bunch of familiar faces. I saw Haley's parents holding Sienna, Luca, Jace, Zach, as well as a bunch of Haley's relatives. I recognized a bunch of our friends faces before turning to see what looked like a stage. The entire location looked like it was decorated for a wedding. But what on earth was going on?Zane passed Maverick over to Zach before he made his way over to me. "Are you ready?" He asks, clapping me on the back."For what? What's going on?" I ask."Why don't you coo and find out?" Zane remarks, pulling me with him down the aisle towards the stage. He pushes me into place as I stand frozen, unable to move. My mind is spinning a million miles a minute. It's as if

...Two Weeks Later...Two weeks have passed from one of the worst emotional rollercoasters of my life. Just when I thought I was at the lowest point in my life, Haley surprised me with two incredible miracles. We were set to have twin boys. I couldn't be happier. Haley didn't mind either way. She was a proud mama regardless of their genders. The odd part of our story, was that we were about to have child three and four, and yet neither of us had been present for every birth. I missed the first one. Haley missed the second. So neither of us really knew what to expect. We decided not to dwell on it, and treat as it should be. Our first pregnancy together.I was looking forward to experiencing everything with her. I so desperately wanted it to be perfect. Regardless, as long as we had each other, I knew it would be."So, are you ever going to tell me where you were that day?" I ask."How about tomorrow?" She says, making me turn towards her surprised. I hadn't expected her to give in so
The Mark 116. Bad Actor
By the time we got to the hospital, I was an absolute mess. I was terrified from the lack of the unknown. Was Haley ok? What about Sienna? The moment we arrived at the hospital, Sienna was taken away deeper into the hospital so they could run some tests. They had me go to a waiting area where they bring Sienna once they discovered what was wrong with her. I held Maverick in my arms, using him as a life support. If it wasn't for him right now, I doubt I would be standing up. They would need to put me in a bed as well, as my nerves were all over the place. My worry over both Sienna and Haley had gone to extremes. My mind was swirling with all the what-ifs. Was Haley in trouble? Did the Cobras go after her? Has she been kidnapped? Worse? "Mr. Stone?" As if that wasn't enough, my mind continued to plague me with fears over Sienna. What if I got to her too late? What will happen to her? Will she survive? Will she grow up to have a normal life? What did I do wrong? Was it something I di

...A Few Months Later...The construction on our new house was coming along swimmingly. With my connections, I had managed to secure some of the best people for this project. I worked well with Taylor, our project manager. He had so many great ideas that I could incorporate into my design. I was like a kid in a candy store. We made a great team. I would constantly bounce ideas off of him, and he would give me his input. Sometimes coming up with an even better solution. I was so happy to have him. With his insight, we had designed several hidden rooms, such as a play room, a room for the kids to hang out when they're older, even a butlers pantry. Taylor even came up with a secret passageway between the kids rooms. So that they could sneak into each others rooms. I was so thrilled with how well everything was coming along. It wouldn't be long for the house to completed at this rate. I couldn't wait to show Damian. I knew he was growing suspicious, as I was leaving the house more freque
The Mark 114. New Plans
My conversation with Damian from last night was ringing through my mind. I knew he was stressed, but he is good at hiding it from me. I wanted to help him, but when it came to his work, there wasn't much I could do. My strengths weren't in the tech industry. I was an architect.Wait... I'm an architect. I say to myself, as if reminding myself of my talent. Which is when it hit me. I wanted to take something off of Damian's plate. If I couldn't help him at the office, then I would help him with our home. I quickly got dressed then grabbed my cell phone. I called Colton to come pick me up then had him take me to our realtors office. I had our realtor look into various locations, and then once we came up with a list, we toured each and every one of them.Just before noon, I found the one I'd been searching for. It was a secluded location not far from the main city centre. It was situated right on the lake, and boasted a stunning private sand beach. I knew the moment y eyes landed on it,
The Mark 113. Late Night Fun
…Haley POV…I woke up during the night to find Damian not in bed. I walked to the bathroom figuring he must be in there, only to find it empty. Realizing that he wasn’t in our room, I went to check on Maverick and Sienna, wondering if Damian had gone to check on them, however, both were sleeping soundly. I was about to head to the kitchen, when I saw a glow coming from the office. I walked inside, to see Damian fast asleep at his desk, his head buried in a mound of paperwork.“Dame.” I whisper while silently shaking him. However, to my surprise he doesn’t wake up.“Dame?” I question, a little louder this time, however, yet again, still no movement. I get on my knees before him, and run my hand through his hair. I feel him shift slightly, until he begins to stir.“Hmm?” He moans, as he turns to look at me.“Why don’t you come to bed?” I suggest, standing up to crawl onto his lap.I continue to stroke his head as his hands wrap around my waist. He buried his head in my neck, as he’s
The Mark 112. Now Hiring
Damian's phone ringing woke us up the next morning. It seemed as though a critical file that needed to be sent to finalize a deal had gone missing, meaning that Damian would have to go to the office to investigate it.Damian sighed, then kissed me on the forehead before heading to the bathroom. I couldn't help myself. I turned around in the bed to watch him as he walked towards the shower."I can feel you staring." He says, without looking at me."What are you going to do about it?" I remark. I can't help it. I love looking at his ass. It's so perfect, talk about eye candy."I can't do anything right now. But just know that when I get back, I expect you naked and willing on this bed for me." Damian shouts from the bathroom. I get out of bed and follow him into the bathroom. He's already in the shower as I enter, so he's unable to hear my silent footsteps as I approach.I walk into the shower behind him, and wrap my arms around his waist, reaching down for his member. "And what if I'm

I looked up to see Damian hover above me. I crawl backwards further into our King mattress. Damian mimics my moves as he comes closer to me. He tosses his shirt to the ground, as he hovers above me. I feel his bulge against my core, making my head tilt back in anticipation."Please." I whisper, reaching for the waistband of his pants in hopes of sliding them off."Please what?" He responds back, as he places kisses along my chest. He squeezes one of my nipples with his hand as he moves higher to kiss my neck. I can feel him sucking on it, making me wet down below. I tilt my head back further into the pillow as I give into his assault."Damian. Please." I find myself begging as I claw at his pants, trying to remove them from his waist. In one fluid motion, Damian manages to not only drop his pants but also remove his boxers, freeing his member. He traces his member along my core, teasingly.I reach for it, to push it inside me when Damian's hands reach for my wrist, pulling my hand aw
