The Billionaire's Mark
One night.
One stranger.
One mark that changed everything.
Averylle Jasmine Yñigo has it all beauty, wealth, and power. Pero sa likod ng tagumpay niya ay isang mundong kontrolado ng mga lalaking ginagamit siya bilang tulay sa negosyo, lalo na ang ama niyang mapag-kalkula at ang boyfriend niyang sinungaling at manloloko, si Sam Reyes.
Pagod na si Ave sa kasinungalingan at pananakit, kaya isang gabi, pinili niyang tumakas at doon siya napunta sa mga bisig ng isang estrangherong nag-iwan ng marka sa kanyang balat… at sa kanyang buhay.
Pagkalipas ng ilang linggo, muli silang nagtagpo sa isang corporate event, sa pinakahuling taong inaasahan niyang makita. Aiden Ethan Blackthorne, the cold, powerful billionaire owner of her company… at ang lalaking tumatak sa kanya noong gabing iyon.
Ngunit hindi tadhana ang naglapit sa kanila, kundi paghihiganti. Ethan believed Ave’s family was responsible for his late fiancée’s death a lie carefully crafted by Sam and Ethan’s current fiancée, Celeste Navarro. At sa gitna ng pagnanasa at galit, ginamit niya si Ave para sa kanyang kagustuhang makagpaghiganti hanggang siya mismo ang mahulog sa bitag ng damdamin.
Pero habang lumalalim ang koneksiyon nila, lumalim din ang dilim sa paligid. Sam’s obsession turns deadly, leading to an ambush that leaves Ave’s mother comatose a tragedy that breaks everything apart.
Deceived by lies, trapped by love, and haunted by the mark of her past. Is love still worth of saving even if it's started as revenge?

Chapter: CHAPTER 41Months passed, and I had already fully recovered from the accident. The day I returned to work, they insisted on throwing a small welcome-back party. Nothing grand, just balloons taped a little crookedly on the walls, a cake with my name misspelled, and food ordered in a rush but it felt heavier than any celebration I’d attended before. When I walked in, the entire room went quiet for a split second before everyone started clapping. I'm surprised when I saw my two best friends in our building even they're building is far from ours. “You have no idea how scared we were,” Macey said first, pulling me into a tight hug like she was afraid I might disappear again. “I cried,” Lianne admitted without shame. “Like, ugly cried. I couldn’t even focus on work for days.” “You scared the hell out of us,” Lyka added, shaking her head. “We heard car accident and hospital in the same sentence, and my mind went straight to the worst.” she pulled me in a tight hug. Ngumiti ako, tumawa nung nagsa

Chapter: CHAPTER 40He stayed for hours. “Why did you suddenly run off? Did something happen?” biglang tanong ni Ethan. Tiningnan ko siya, how did he know that I suddenly ran out of the house? “How did you know?” tanong ko He looked at me like I was asking something ridiculous. “ After the accident I couldn't wait any longer, I was in the meeting at that time. After Brandon texted ma na naaksidente ka, I stopped the meeting. I was about to approach the ER but your parents and Brother are there so I just listened to them, what happened. But I only heard your brother if it didn't happen you couldn't end up in an accident. So what exactly happened? Tell me.” he said Medjo naguguluhan ako sa sinabi niya. He rushed here in the middle of the meeting? Why? “ I…..” hindi ko masabi sa kanya pero, lumunok ako huminga ng malalim. “ Umalis ako dahil kay Daddy.” diretsong sabi ko “ Why? Did you fight again?” “No.. we were having a small dinner party at the house at that time because of mom. But he suddenl

Chapter: CHAPTER 39I woke up because of the blurd noise I heard, hindi ko maintindihan pero sapat na para magising ako. Pilit kong ginalaw ang katawan ko pero hindi ko magawa. Sinubukan kong galawin ang mga kamay ko pero wala. My body is still numb. My eyes still closed, all I could remember was the accident. Car crashing, blood dripping. I slowly open my eyes and try to move my fingers. “ Ave?” nag-aalalang boses ni Mommy at Kuya “ Jus, call the doctor faster!” Mom’s voice echoed Nakita ko siyang lumapit sa akin, hindi ako makapagsalita dahil may oxygen ang bibig ko. I looked at her, my mom's voice cracked and burst into tears. I wanted to hug her pero hindi ko magawa. I'm too helpless to do that. Nakita kong tumayo siya at hinarap si Daddy na nakatayo sa may paanan ng kama. I heard a slow, deliberate hard slap. “ I won't forgive you if something ever happened to our daughter! You're selfish, Fred!” singhal ni Mommy Bago pa makapagsalita si Dad, pumasok na si Kuya kasama ang doctor. They ex

Chapter: CHAPTER 38Days pass so fast like it just slips through my fingers. I didn't even notice that all of my days have always been so repetitive, early mornings, coffee that I could barely taste, hectic schedule of meetings, lots of emails, feels like forever. Ethan has been so quietly busy these days, that we could barely meet or see each other. Sometimes we only see each other if we have similar meetings to attend to, he texted me everyday but seems like his presence is absent. His messages were always on repeat, like “eat” sometimes we do some short talks through calls asking “how’s work?” no other dramas. He barely visits me in my unit and honestly? I fucking missed him. But he didn't skip any day without leaving me the same message all over again, like he was doing it for me to feel like he was just there. His message is lacking in soul and presence. I couldn't feel them. And me? Like I was drowning myself to prepare. Cebu was getting closer but I didn't say it yet to my family. I kept

Chapter: CHAPTER 37Ethan didn't left me after we finished eating, kung wala lang sanang tumawag sa kanya hindi siya aalis. Nauna akong natapos kumain sa kanya, kaya nung natapos ako nagsimula ulit na akong tapusin yung mga naiwan kong kailangan pang tapusin. Si Ethan naman hinayaan kong magligpit ng kinainan namin, hindi naman siya nag reklamo kaya, ayos na yun. Nilagay niya sa sink yung ginamit at hinugasan ito, pagbalik niya muhiga siya sa may sofa sa likod ko at pinagmamasdan ako sa ginagawa ko. Hindi ako nagsasalita at hinayaan nalang siya sa likod. Ramdam na ramdam ko yung presensya niya sa likod ko, bawat hiningang binubuga niya sa may likuran ko kasabag nun ang sobrang bilis ng pintig ng puso ko. I sit on the carpeted floor, laptop open, papers spread out, even my eyes are fixed on the screen, I am fully aware of his little movements. Sometimes I hear him letting out a heavy sigh, he's soft and slow movements making sure that he won't disturb me, shifting his positions. Nakakailang man

Chapter: CHAPTER 36Brandon just laughed at Ethan's sudden action, like he had just seen an amusing scene. Pero sinamaan lang siya ni Ethan ng tingin. “ Ave.” ulit ni Brandon sa pangalan ko. “ Is that your name?” tanong niya Pero bago pa ako makasagot naunahan na ako ni Ethan. “ Obviously, what else?” he said sarcastically. Brandon softly chuckled. “ I'm not asking you.” sagot niya kay Ethan. Mas lalo pang sumama ang tingin ni Ethan kay Brandon pero parang wala itong pakialam at panay ngiti lang. “Can you just go to your own damn building, Brandon?” iritadong sambit ni Ethan Tahimik lang akong nakikinig sa dalawa, silently comparing these two men in front of me. Ethan has this heavy aura that could scare people in just one look. Brandon is completely different from him, he has this light and playful aura. “Wait… what? Hindi pa tayo tapos sa pinag-uusapan natin and for the record you're the one who called me here tas pinapaalis muna ako? You're rude.” sambit ni Brandon at nagkukunwaring na-offe
