Vanessa Marano Relationships Novels & Stories

"Wind does the rest." By noon, Evan's friends had deleted their comments under Mara's bridal salon post. By one, Mara's photo with his family was gone. By two, someone sent me a screenshot of Evan standing outside his office building while reporters asked about Saint Jude, investor fraud, and the mystery woman named in the audit notice. He looked furious at first. Then the first reporter said my name. "Mr. Cole, when did you learn your longtime girlfriend was Alessia Moretti?" The color left his face.

If Vanessa thought she could destroy his life without consequences, she was sorely mistaken. As Clara scrolled through articles, old photos, and social media posts, a peculiar pattern emerged. Vanessa had a history of inserting herself into other people’s conflicts, often creating chaos and then disappearing. But there was one connection Clara hadn’t anticipated—Vanessa had once been involved in a scandal with a wealthy businessman who went bankrupt after her interference. Clara’s heart raced as she clicked on an article detailing the man’s downfall. The description of Vanessa’s role was eerily familiar: manipulation, secrets, and betrayal. Could Vanessa be trying to dismantle their family f

"I should've known..." "You're not the first person I've fooled," Vanessa added, her face devoid of expressions, not even pain at the moment. "But you're the only person I've ever been romantically involved with besides him. I never imagined I'd have to marry an enemy and-" "Enemy!" Lorenzo sneered in disbelief.

“I know you want to believe the best in her, but she’s not like us. She wasn’t raised in this world. She doesn’t respect it.” A long pause. My heartbeat thumped loudly in my ears. Then, Alaric’s voice—low, frustrated. “Emma, she’s my mate.” Mate. The word made my stomach twist. Emma let out a small, shaky breath, then whispered, “And I’m the one you chose.” Silence. Then, softer, she added, “I know you feel the bond, but Vanessa… she’ll destroy everything you’ve built. Everything we built. She doesn’t belong here. And I don’t trust her.”

“What in the world happened here? Who dares to beat someone else up in the Whitecastle family’s territory?” She turned to look straight at me. When I met her shocked gaze, I sighed and struggled to get up. “You got here right on time, Vanessa! This involves our marriage arrangement. You have to give me an—” She slapped me before I could finish speaking. The sting of it rooted me to the spot. “Redmond Day, how dare you hit my husband? Do you have a death wish?” Looking at Josh, I laughed out of anger and disbelief. I pointed at Vanessa and said, “What gives him the right to call the shots here? Have you gone mad?”

Everyone except Vanessa laughed. “I’m sure you haven’t had breakfast, let’s eat together.” Mom said and we were soon having breakfast together in the dining room. All the while, Venessa was quietly and barely eating well, it was unusual of her. Was she still feeling guilty towards dad? “Vanessa,” mom called her. I guess she noticed it too. “Trinity drugged my husband and slept with him in order to have a child for Rodri and be with him.” I gave dad a questioning look which he returned.

Vanessa called her name in shock. 'WHAT'S SHE DOING HERE?' a question popped into Vanessa's mind. Then suddenly Kova remembers that Liza was staring at Aden and Vanessa, which formed a smirk on Kova's face. 'INTERESTING' Kova said in his mind. " who's he?" Liza stared at Aden who was looking at Liza's outfit. "He's Vanessa's friend" Before Vanessa could reply, Kova answered Liza. "FRIENDS?" Both Aden and Vanessa were shocked by the relationship they were called in.

Helena coaxed, trying to calm Sean who looked furious. At first she didn’t agree that there was media wherever they were, it didn’t matter if it was only one or a few places and activities, but wherever they went they were always in the spotlight, it was also uncomfortable. The attention on the marriage between Reviano and Madini was overwhelming, but considering Evelyn was a very famous model, Hellena thought it was natural. “You have to remember who your future wife is, Sean,” added Hellena. From the side, Sean’s father, Houston Reviano, approached them.

The lady said, “Oh. So, that’s how it is. Being legally married still makes her his wife, though. I can’t believe she enjoyed an exotic dance from six guys. Looks like she’s a wild one, huh?” Vanessa sneered, “It’s bad enough that she’s wild, but she made it worse when she was caught red-handed by Elliot. No man can endure such infidelity and humiliation.” The lady said, “Does that mean you stand a chance with him?” Vanessa smiled triumphantly, but she didn’t say anything. Then, her phone rang. She saw that her brother, Hamish, was calling her. So, she smiled and said sweetly, “Hamish!” Hamish’s voice, however, was cold, “What did you do to offend Elliot?”

Vanessa continued with a little frown on her face, “The only problem is that he is divorced and actually has a son with his ex-wife; they were married for seven years, I think... Thinking about it now, I don’t know if I can compete with the wife because I heard from her that she can be feisty and has tried to ruin whatever relationship he has had in the past." Vanessa went on to describe the obsessed ex-wife that just won’t move on, and in my head, I kept screaming Brianna’s name. It can’t be them, can it? This is such a weird coincidence because Vanessa actually knows Brianna as my best friend, but the two have never met in person. And the little son? That is definitely Christian! I was fid
