Vanessa Marano Relationships Novels & Stories

“Vanessa has never mind linked with anyone except three people in her life. Me, Carmen, and Silas. She was just six, an innocent child when I decided we were better off as rogues. I don’t wish to rehash history you both know so well,’’ Noah was quiet, “and she saw some things on the run. I… it was difficult. When we came here, we weren’t part of this pack. For a long time, she refused to speak to anyone. By the time she was twelve, she had other problems, and from there on stayed isolated. She can cut off links with ease because she isn’t used to them. She never allows herself to be vulnerable with them.”

“He’s trouble. The kind of man who could ruin my focus, my career, my peace of mind. I don’t need that.” Elena tilted her head. “But maybe you want it.” Vanessa blinked. “What?” “You’ve been so focused on work, on building your brand, on being perfect all the time,” Elena said gently. “Maybe it wouldn’t kill you to let someone in — even if it’s just for a moment.” Vanessa gave a small, dry laugh. “You sound like Lila now.” “Lila has taste.” Vanessa shot her a look. “Lila once dated a magician who disappeared after two weeks.”

"Boss, we found a hospital record... a miscarriage. It's Mrs. Moretti's." What the hell was happening? Vince's head felt like it might split open. Isabella… she was really gone? Just like that? Then, as if to hammer the point home, her messages came through—several at once. One was a voice recording of a conversation with Sophia. Another was a recording of a call from Sophia. The last… was a screen recording of the wedding livestream. When Vince tried to reply, his message bounced. Isabella had blocked him. He opened the first audio file.

Holding the woman’s hand, he approached me. “Elena, this is Vanessa, she’s—” Before he could finish, Vanessa flashed a confident smile and offered her hand to me. “Hi, I’m Vanessa, Hector’s partner. We fell in love on the battlefield.” I laughed bitterly, anger making my voice shake. “Partner? You mean mistress, right?” Vanessa’s smile faltered. Hector glared at me, his voice low and warning. “Elena, don’t do this.” I met his gaze, my tone icy.

“I cooked for you.” Adrian loosened his tie. “Elena, let’s not make this dramatic.” “Dramatic?” she repeated. "You’re sleeping with my best friend and you say I'm being dramatic?" Vanessa rolled her eyes. “Please stop acting innocent. Your marriage has been dead for a long time.” Elena looked at her slowly. “For how long has this been going on?” Vanessa smirked. “Six months.” The answer hit harder than she expected. Elena looked back at Adrian. “Six months?”

“Not all of us have the same luxuries you do, Nash. Vanessa isn’t like the other women we have to choose from and you know it. She’s different…” “That might be so,” I nodded. “But I have more important games to play right now and my selection is set in stone. At least in the eyes of the brotherhood.” He turned to look at the doorway where Nessa had disappeared through before he turned back to me with a shake of his head. “Vanessa Thomas is not the kind of girl you can play games with, Nash. In all honesty, I think you fucked up when you picked her. She will be your downfall.”

"I am Veronica Vane. I am your one and only true Queen and Herald. No impostor can bring me down to the ground." I flew in front of Elspeth and whispered to her ear, "Even you, Elspeth… don’t have the capability to overpower me."

"Right, Villah?" She nodded. "Yes, we do." Landon had a puzzled look on his face. "How?" Abra answered before I could. "Her boyfriend knows me." "Oh, that's cool." He said. "No first time awkwardness, then." The first thing I did when I reached home was call Mariano. "Why in the bloody hell is Abra dating Landon?" I yelled. "Is she?" He said lightly. "That's news to me." "Doesn't seem like it." I commented sourly. "And she calls herself Villah. What's her fucking name?"

Mom had started checking on the people related to those killed pack members to find if anyone else is going through the same situation. “Do you think that it’s Shannon’s own words against Vanessa?” Gabriel suddenly asked me, making me look at him in confusion. He clicked his tongue and sat down beside Sheryl’s leg and pulled her leg onto his thigh. “I mean, we all were too young to remember what their relationship was back then. We heard that Vanessa had a very close relationship with both Dad and Caden. Everyone said that Vanessa sacrificed her life to save both Mom and the beta couple because of their bond and I totally got this. This is what friendship is, right?” Gabriel explained casual

" Rachel asked in a whisper. "Michael Carter," Vanessa said. "Big-shot investor. And get this-he's married." Rachel's jaw fell. "You're not saying she's having an affair?" Vanessa shrugged. "It's not confirmed, but it sure looks suspicious, doesn't it? And if Noah finds out she's been cozying up to a married man…" A surge of triumph ran through Rachel. This could ruin her. "Exactly," Vanessa said, beaming. "Now, how do we use it?"
