Stephanie Marazzo Novels & Stories

Thalia responded, seamlessly transitioning from business to attend to her surroundings. "Detective Wallace is here," Marie informed, adding an unexpected twist to the routine. "Show him into my office. I will be there in a minute." "Okay, Mom," Marie walked back, leaving an air of anticipation in the room. "Detective Wallace? What do you have with that man?" George inquired, highlighting the intrigue surrounding Thalia's connection with law enforcement. "I'm his informant. We talk about Gabriella. Is that enough for you, George?" Thalia answered politely with no hesitation, subtly revealing her dual roles.

Morana tells her and it makes me smile because she sounds so much like a mum and Stephanie plays the roll of a child so well by sticking put her tongue. “There's no meat in here, I need my proteins.” Stephanie whines. “I gave you eggs, that counts as protein too.” Morana tells her and then Stephanie huffs but she goes back to eating her food. “Morana, I need your help with something.” I tell her. “Of course Kylie, what do you need?” She asks me. “First I need you to know that I don't want this getting back to Damon, you too Stephanie.” I tell her.

Gaetano Ordered in a harsh tone that sent a shiver down Larissa's spine. "Don't you dare ever insult her and she has a name " Stephanie froze at the sudden outburst of Gaetano while Gianni looked else where around the kitchen except her "This meeting is going to be so much fun" Marco commented with an amused smirk.. "Am I missing something here" Stephanie asked and Gaetano stared at her so did she return the favour. "She's isn't just any woman or one of the girls you think she is, she special Stephanie at least be nice for once " Stephanie scoffed.

Biting my lip in concentration. "I think I'm done," I say, his face is outstanding better already. Patching itself together as though nothing happened. He doesn't move, "you're beautiful." I flush. Looking down and picking at my cracked nails. "Stop." Chris merely smiles, "You are Andrea. And I'm going to remind you every chance I get." I fumble to words, to any response. I've never considered myself beautiful. My almost platinum blonde hair was weirdly natural and my blue eyes where so light they sometimes seemed to reflect clouds. But beautiful? No.

Jace, there's a visitor here to see you. Jace scowled. "Who is it?" "It’s Stephanie, sir." A beat skipped by Jace's heart. He inhaled deeply while attempting to keep his cool. "Let her in." Mark and Elizabeth looked at one other, speculating, but they remained silent when Stephanie entered the office. She looked flawless in a crimson dress that hugged her body well and highlighted her curves. She fixed Jace's eyes with a naughty smirk on her lips. "Mark, Elizabeth, could you give us a moment?" Jace steadily asked in his voice.

Gift box? I quickly googled Jack Profaci. Of course, Fake Mark was a liar. The real Jack Procafi was one of Chicago’s top millionaires and he had flown into the country with his pregnant wife to celebrate Mario Bianchi's 57th birthday. Of course. It all made sense now. “Ma'am?” They asked again. Before they whipped around, I slipped into a room. “Ma'am?” I heard their panicked voices. “Do you think we lost her?” Geege asked in a whisper.

I even described it to him since he didn't know whom I was talking about. Stephanie Steele. Even her name is pretty. I searched her name and found out she's also a business partner of the Russo Group in L.A. but an article made years ago caught my attention. Nikolai and Stephanie dated before?

I walked to the driver and smiled. “Caren Inc please” I slipped into the car and he drove off. Caren Inc was a large office building, it wasn’t so popular but I already felt a homy feeling around it. I stepped out of the car and walked into the building. I headed straight for the receptionist, a tall blonde woman with huge spectacles. Her tag said Mrs. Helen Mayer. “hey, I’m Camila Santiago and I applied for a job here” she glanced through some files and smiles.

But Stephanie dismissed my concerns outright, insisting that such a thing wasn’t going to happen. Despite my insistence that I didn’t need or want anything, Stephanie went ahead and bought me jewelry. Not just any jewelry, but pieces so exquisite and expensive that I couldn’t fathom their worth. I couldn’t stop her. She waved off my protests with a casual laugh and paid for everything, including Hailey and Michelle’s shopping spree. She flat-out refused to let me use my card, even for my own items.

Could we be as close as we’d been back then? “Do we?” Sean asked, bringing my attention back to him. He had a pained look on his face. I swallowed hard. I knew my words were hurting him. It tugged my heart, and I got the urge to tell Ezra the truth. But that was just the mate bond at work. “Yes,” I replied, turning back to Ezra. “Now, I should really pay you guys a visit at home,” Ezra said. “After living like a spoilt brat for so long, I’m curious how Sean handles having a step mother and sister.”
