All Chapters of The Mark: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

...Damian POV..."What?" I remarked, caught off guard. Where was this even coming from? Why does she want to go to Italy?"Why?" I remarked, hoping for some answers."One of the first contracts I ever did was for the Bianchi family, Luca Bianchi to be precise.""What? As in the Luca Bianchi? As in the leader of the Sicilian mafia?"Haley went quiet, looking me in the eyes. She reached her hand up to cup my cheek. Without her saying it, I knew that was exactly who she meant."Where is this even coming from? Why do you want to go to Italy?" I asked."I think Luca might help us." She replied."What? Why would he do that?" I asked."I don't know. Perhaps because he liked me? I honestly don't know. But what other choice do we have? We don't have any solutions. We need to get Maverick back. Please." She pleaded. I could tell that she seemed just as confused about going as I was. But something seemed to be telling her that this was what she needed to do.I wanted to fight with her. Tell her

...Haley POV...I was on my last thread. I was already worried sick because of Maverick missing. But this woman was pushing my last straw. I'd never shot someone, but I was willing to start with her. Luca was my last chance of finding my son. But the more she continued to ignore my requests to see him, the more my desire to shoot her became. I knew I needed to get Luca's attention, so I grabbed my gun and aimed it at her head without second-guessing. She pushed my final button when she tried to flirt with Damian. He was mine; how dare she flirt with him directly in front of me. My anger got the best of me, and I fired a warning shot at her. I wasn't even close to hitting her, but she didn't need to know that. I just needed Luca to come. I just hoped he didn't take my entrance wrong.The woman screamed, and to my amazement, Kayden came running in with his gun raised in our direction, searching for the source of the problem. Little did he realize that it was, in fact, me. But his loyal

Over the past few days, Luca spent all his time informing us of everything we needed to know about the Cobras. With help from his cousins, we had everything that we would need to know in order to take them down. We knew of their warehouses, informants, and all the places in which Luca felt they could be hiding Maverick. For the first time since all of this happened, I started to gain a sense of possibility. That very soon, I would be meeting my son for the very first time.I couldn't help but wonder though, how was Maverick taken in the first place? I know what Kayden had told us, but something just seemed off. As though there was something I was missing. I didn't understand how someone like Kayden managed to mess up in a way that would lead to Maverick being taken.I knew Haley didn't mess up. It would be virtually impossible for her to do so. Her profile was still hidden because of Evanish. Which meant that even if she stepped directly in front of the Cobras warehouse, they would be

...Haley POV...The time had finally come to get Maverick. We had spent the next day going over our plan. Kayden felt the best plan of action was to go after him while they were receiving a shipment. Many of their members would be gone to watch over the docks while we could sneak in without them noticing. After reviewing all their hideouts, Kayden figured that Chase probably had Maverick in his own house. It was a highly guarded location, but we made sure to know every single detail of their hideout. Kayden had me look over the blueprints while he worked on surveillance. Kayden tasked Damian as a hacker. Damian needed to find a way to hack into their security cameras so that we could loop their surveillance cameras from discovering we were there. Now, I was waiting in a nearby car with Damian, as Kayden entered Chase's house. Kayden wanted us here, so there would be a quick escape car to prevent him from getting caught. We knew it would only be a matter of time until Chase figured ou

I woke up after a long nap. That must've been the best sleep I've ever had. I stretched and smiled as I smelt the familiar smell of pancakes and bacon in the air. I got out of bed, and put on one of Damian's shirts, then made my way into the kitchen, to see Damian wearing nothing but a pair of sweatpants as he gracefully flipped pancakes in the pan. He spun around to see me watching him, and gave me his cocky smile. I referred to it as the Damian smile. It was a mix of a wink and a side smile. A look he pulled off all too well. He set down the pan and walked over to me, wrapping his arms around me. I wrapped my arms around him in return and leaned back anticipating my kiss. Damian responded right away, reaching up to hold my face as he deepened our kiss. I felt my panties grow wet from the passionate kiss. I began to get light-headed from the lack of oxygen, and gently pushed him away. Damian ended our kiss, then pulled my head into his chest, as we stood there allowing my lungs to g
