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?

...Damian POV...

I couldn't believe it. I didn't want to believe it. Mostly because if what Zane was saying was true, then that made far worse than any monster in this world. She was assaulted, and instead of helping her, I only made her hurt worse. Look at how I reacted after seeing her with someone else. They weren't even intimate. Just kissing.

I did far worse than I had believed she had done to me. When I met Bianca or Breanna, or whatever the hell her name was on the plane, a plan had come to mind. I knew Haley would come searching for me, so I wanted to make her hurt the way she had done to me. I was a monster.

Now that I began to see reason, details of the event started to stand out in my mind. I had her yelling at him, calling him a b*stard and yelling at him to get away from her. I could hear Haley screaming at me, hoping to get my attention. I could hear her words so clearly, it was as though she was here right now.
