Never Too Far Vanessa K Novels & Stories

Zara’s POV Vanessa was waiting in the hallway again. Same painted smile, same venom dripping from her eyes. Always in our faces, hovering like a desperate moth burning itself against a flame it could never have. I’d ignored her long enough. This time, I stopped. “What is it, Vanessa? You want to watch us breathe too? Or maybe sit between us at dinner, hold his hand while I feed him?” Her lips parted, trembling. “You think you’re better than me? You think he loves you?”

Help me arrange the move abroad. There was no one left here worth staying for. I left in a rush. I packed through the second half of the night and moved out before dawn. I did not even return to the company. … When Selena realized she could not reach me, she panicked. She borrowed other people's phones and called again and again. None of them worked. I disappeared from her life cleanly, like a gust of wind. All I left her were a few dreamlike years of memories and the engagement ring, placed neatly on the table.

Then, suddenly, someone shoved me hard. There was a deafening crash. Chaos erupted around me. Voices shouted for an ambulance. Feigning panic, Victoria ran past me toward the fallen figure. Stunned, I turned, only to see that the one who had pushed me out of harm’s way… was Ethan.

He opened the front passenger door for me. I automatically got into the back seat. The front seat wasn't mine. Adrian smiled and assumed I was still sulking. He drove toward the countryside along a road I didn't recognize. We didn't reach our destination until three hours later. A secluded house stood before me. It was hidden in the mountains, nearly impossible to find. He gently took my hand and led me inside. I frowned and asked in confusion: "Why are we here?" As soon as I spoke, I heard Julianne and Mother's voices.

Even though Finn was saddened that Vanessa was about to leave, he still said to her, “Have a great day today, Vanessa. And remember, if you ever need someone to talk to, I'm always available” “Sure, Finn. Also, I'll catch up with you by next week. After all, I still have to put Alexa and Nicholas in their place”. Vanessa declared with a smile before she left. Vanessa eventually came out of the secret lair and descended the stairs. She saw that Raquel was busy, so she escaped outside immediately, since to her, Raquel was quite a parrot. Upon arriving outside, Vanessa didn't see Cole or the white bugatti. It was just as if both of them had disappeared.

Draven’s voice was low, smooth, but the underlying tension was undeniable. Kael glanced at Vanessa, then stood up. "I’ll leave you two to talk." Vanessa didn’t move as Kael exited, his heavy footsteps fading down the corridor. Draven’s gaze remained fixed on her, as though he could see straight through to her soul. "Are you all right?" he asked, his voice softening. Vanessa swallowed the lump in her throat. "I should be asking you that." He stepped closer, the heat from his body radiating through the air. She didn’t back away. Instead, she met his gaze, feeling that strange, undeniable pull between them.

"Vanessa, we should be at the airport in about twenty minutes. Everything’s set with the tickets and the rental car." Vanessa nodded, her expression unreadable. "Thank you, Lily." Diego, his hands gripping the steering wheel, glanced in the rearview mirror. "You sure about this, boss?" he asked, his deep voice steady. Vanessa met his gaze through the mirror. "Yes," she said firmly. "I need to know they’re far away from here. It’s the only way I can focus." The van grew quiet again, the atmosphere heavy with unspoken concerns. Vanessa reached for Ethan and Emma’s hands, squeezing them lightly. Their small fingers wrapped around hers, grounding her.

"You really don't know about romance." "Should I bother to know about romance when I'm busy fleeing to another country? It's not my fault to be innocent like a baby."Zenah said making Vanessa sigh. "I'll tell you all about I know in romance later."Vanessa said while smirking before she went to where the staff where to help packing the items. Zenah look at Yvrozz direction as well as the man who was holding the iPad, she mouthed at him to come near her when her job done.

“Well, this is adorable.” The voice was smooth. Cold. And very familiar. Lila’s stomach dropped instantly. She didn’t need to turn around to know who it was. Vanessa Hart. The queen of Northbridge University. Slowly, Lila looked up. Vanessa stood a few feet away under the glow of the streetlights, looking as flawless as always. Her long blonde hair fell perfectly over her shoulders, and her fitted black jacket hugged her figure like it had been designed specifically for her.

** Vanessa’s Next Move** Vanessa sat in her sleek penthouse office, her fingers drumming on the polished desk. She stared at the photograph in front of her—a candid shot of Michael and Clara from their balcony dinner the night before. “They think they’ve won,” she murmured to herself, a sinister smile spreading across her lips. Her assistant entered, carrying a folder and a sense of unease. “Ms. Reeves, the investigator found something.” Vanessa’s eyes narrowed as she grabbed the folder and flipped it open. Inside were documents detailing Clara’s past—old secrets she thought had been buried forever.
