...Haley POV...

I felt as though I was floating on a cloud. Nothing made sense. I didn't know where I was or why I was here.

"Hello?" I called out, hoping someone would hear me. However, the air around me remained silent.

I could hear this annoying beeping in my head, but no idea where it was coming from. I looked around, only to see nothing. I focus on my other senses, hoping to be able to pick up something familiar.

Tingles begin to erupt from my skin, immediately making me think of Damian. He's the only one that has ever been able to make me feel that way. I twist myself closer to the sensation, hoping to get closer to Damian. I feel the familiar warmth of his body spread into my own and find my eyes rowing tired. I relax into the comfort of his embrace.

An alarm ringing wakes me from my sleep. I open my eyes trying to figure out where the sound is coming from, only to be surrounded by darkness yet again. I cover my ears wanting the alarm to stop. What's going on? Where am I? Where

  • The Mark   89. Mental Torment

    When I woke up, my head had stopped pounding. I could still hear the faint beeping, but luckily it had quieted down. It was no longer so loud that I couldn't concentrate on anything else. I smile as I see Damian enter our room. Making me realize that we were back in Damian's condo. A place that felt like home to me. Damian walks over to me and places a kiss on my lips as he sits on the bed next to me."How are you feeling?" He asks.I contemplate his question as I try to think of an answer."The doctor said you may be in pain for a while. Do you remember what happened?" He asks.I tilt my head in confusion."No. What happened?" I ask."You were in an accident. You were on your way back home when you were struck by another car." Damian explains.I nod my head in understanding. "What about Colton? Is he ok?" I ask."Colton? Who's Colton?" "My driver. Remember the one you hired to be my personal driver?" I reply, not quite sure how Damian forgot him. Damian has always been nothing but

    It seemed like forever before Doctor Matthews finally left her room along with the nurses. Doctor Matthews walked me into her room, closing the door before speaking."Is everything ok?" I ask."Yes. Actually, that's why I brought you in. We believe Haley responded to your proximity to her.""What? How?" I ask."We're not entirely sure, but from the time you were with her, we were able to detect brain functionality. We think your presence helped to bring her back.""Bring her back? Does that mean she's awake?" I ask."No. I'm sorry, but no, she's not awake. But we think that if you spend more time with her, we might be able to bring her back.""What do you mean? I'm feeling a bit lost here.""Studies have shown that when people are placed in a coma, their brain helps to calm the person by using memories to create a sort of reality for them. Many patients have said that they never realized they were in a coma, as it didn't feel as though time had stopped.""Is that a bad thing?" I ask.

    I continue running, not caring where I go. I just need to be away from here. Wherever here is. Why was this happening? What's going on? Why do I keep waking up in places, but with no idea of what's going on? It's like I know what should be happening, but nothing is the way it should be. I'm so confused by what's going on. Part of me wishes to see Damian, while another part of me wishes to never see him again.The beeping becomes louder until I find myself surrounded by darkness once more. I cover my ears wishing for it to stop when another sound takes over. The beeping begins to subside as I find myself in my condo in New York. I hear someone knock on the door, and instantly run to go grab it. There in front of me is Jessica holding a little boy. My eyes grow wide in realization."MAVERICK!" I call out as happy tears run down my cheek.Jessica smiles as she walks into my condo, handing Maverick over to me carefully. "Somebodies happy to see you." She coos to Maverick as she places hi

  • The Mark   92. Disoriented

    ...Damian POV...The machines hooked up to Haley were going out of control. It was something that was happening quite frequently, but whenever I cuddled up to her the machines would quiet down. This time, however, something seemed wrong. I held her close in my arms and whispered in her ear, hoping she would hear me."It's ok Hales. You need to fight. Fight to come to me. To Maverick." I say. I feel tears begin to threaten as she begins to convulse in my arms. I reluctantly let go of her, placing as gently as I can back onto the bed. I screamed for a doctor, hoping they would help her.A nurse ran into the room and began to examine her. She ran out of the room, returning a few moments later with a vial in her hand. Unable to put it into her IV, she carefully stabbed her in the leg. I watched as Haley's body slowed down, the convulsions coming to an end."What did you give her?" I ask."Just a sedative. It should help calm her down for a bit." She replies, leaving the room once she saw

  • The Mark   93. Fabricated Bliss

    It's been nearly a month since my manic episode. Damian had Dr. Matthews come to check up on me. He said I was fine and was bound to have some residual effects from the injuries. It wasn't uncommon for gunshot victims to experience paranoia or dissociative disorder due to the trauma. I was starting to feel a bit better as our life progressed. I no longer experienced any alternate realities or nightmares that made me believe that my life was just some horrible nightmare. Rather my life was beginning to fall back in place.Every so often, however, I would have this nagging thought that something wasn't right. I couldn't place my finger onto what that was, only that it felt as though I was missing something. I knew in order for us to move on from everything that happened, I would have to ignore that feeling. Damian had proved to me on multiple occasions that everything I was experiencing was indeed real.I had no reason to doubt the authenticity of his actions and decided to ignore any l

  • The Mark   94. Hope

    ...Damian POV...It's been seven months since Haley was put into a coma. My faith in her getting better is getting weaker by the day. When Doctor Matthews suggested that I stay with her, as he found that Haley was responding to my proximity to her, my hope went through the window. I remained at her side every day and night. I had practically moved into the hospital. Zane granted me a leave of absence while I stayed with Haley in the hospital. But after a few months had gone by, and no change in her progress had occurred I started to feel deflated. I didn't want to give up on her, but I was starting to lose my will to fight. Hope can be a beautiful thing. However, it can also test you beyond measures. Hope is like a candle in a storm. Lighting up your path, but fragile all the same. Even the simplest of maneuvers could risk blowing the candle out permanently. I felt like I was on a never-ending tightrope. Constantly on the cusp of balancing and falling to my demise.

  • The Mark   95. It's Not Over

    The next few hours were absolutely excruciating. I paced the hallway outside of the operating room so many times, that I was surprised I hadn't fallen to the floor below yet. I see a nurse go by and run up to her pleading to tell me what was going on. I needed an update, anything. I needed to know if my little girl was going to be ok. "Please. I'm begging you. Can you please tell me what's going on?" I ask, pointing to the operating room behind me.The nurse looked startled but remained silent. "Please, I'm begging you. My wife and child are in there. They've been in there for hours, but no one will tell me anything. Please, can you just find out if they're ok?" I beg, nearly kneeling in front of her feet desperate to find out what was going on.The nurse shakingly nodded her head in understanding before responding."I'll see what I can do." She replies, before entering the room behind me. I walk over to the chair on the opposite wall, and fall into the seat, leaning over and placi

    A short while later, the doctors exited the operating room with Haley in tow. I jumped up from the seat and walked over to the gurney she was laying on. I reached for her hand, holding it tight as we walked back to her room. The doctors got her set up and checked over the machines before leaving the room. They closed the door on their way out, leaving just Haley and me alone. I stood up and ran my hand through her hair. I carefully sat on the bed and snuggled close to her, just needing to be near her. I wrapped my arms around her, careful not to move any of the wires that connected her to the machines. I shifted my head towards her, burying my nose in her neck. I kissed her cheek and placed soft kisses along her forehead as I prayed to all the gods and deities out there to bring her back to me. Zane enters the room a short while later, letting me know that the doctors gave the green light so that we could see Sienna. I nodded my head and placed another kiss on Haley's cheek as I got

  • 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

    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

    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,

    …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

    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
