When Does Stefan Come Back Novels & Stories

She didn’t mind the autos; she had just been teasing the guy, who knew that he thought she was serious and even called Uncle Santino. The man never showed in front of her in her previous life. She didn’t know whether he had known she had been brought back or not. They had been so close to each other since she was a kid, and she believed that he must have visited if he had received the news. That would only mean that after she pushed Martin away, talked ill of him, and chose her father, he never thought of telling the others. She felt pain, and tears clouded her eyes. This was seen by Austin, causing him to panic. “Scar, why are you crying? Okay, I will go get papers and sign them,” he said,

And the bribe accusation makes it even worse. I look at him sympathetically and with guilt. But after a second, something really nagging crosses my mind. Him! Everything fell apart with his return. It seems like one of the reasons he came back was to open my eyes and see Leon for the ungrateful, cheating bastard that he really is. And I am highly grateful to him for that because I don’t want to imagine how that son of a bitch had planned to dumb me. Perhaps stand me up in the alter? That would have been so humiliating! At least he saved me from that.

She nodded her head but she didn't say anything. "Alpha," I crooked my chin as I heard Lucas's voice in my mind. "What is it?" "We have a business meeting in the next hour at the New Stave Pack," he informed me, and I let out an exasperated sigh. "Okay, fine," I said and stood up from the chair. "What's wrong? Where are you going?" She asked, and I turned to her. "I just got a message from Lucas. I have a business meeting to attend so I won't return soon," I said, and she nodded her head with a sad look on her face.

Lisa chipped in. That was another angle, if we thought of it. Each of us knew that he was on a mission where it was hard for him to walk around freely. Maybe he was just trying to keep himself unseen, which was why he had to turn off his cellphone. “Besides, he’s due to be back in a day or two days time, if all goes well,” Lisa said again. “So I don’t think we should be worrying right now until it is time for him to be back and we don’t see him.”

“When is that going to happen?” I hesitated. “Soon, sweetheart.” “How soon?” Before I could answer, Steffano appeared and lifted her into his arms. “How about right after your mom and I get married?” Stephie’s eyes widened. “That soon?” He nodded, kissing her forehead. “Yes. That soon.” Something in his voice—his certainty—made my chest tighten. What is he planning? STEFFANO “No waffles?” I asked, raising a brow at Rebecca. She paused mid-motion while placing food on Stephie’s plate. Thankfully, Stephie had already calmed down.

I shook the thoughts away and rose to make myself a smoothie, something normal, something to remind me I was still human and not just some puppet tangled in Stefan’s emotional warfare. But the moment I reach the counter, I heard him. Stefan walked in, shirtless, his sweatpants riding low on his hips, the picture of a man who had indulged in all the pleasures the night had to offer. He didn’t even look at me. Just opened the fridge, grabbed a bottle of water, and took a long sip like nothing happened. I stood frozen, bracing myself. Then he spoke, his voice cold and commanding, like I was just his piece of property, “I’m flying to New York this morning, I’ll be gone for a week. Try to behave

"What do you want?" "I want you to come back to me." Stefan gently pulled me into his arms as he spoke in a tired voice. "I won't hold it against you for running away from the family, and I promise I won't punish you for it. We can go back to Armesca and start over again." As I was pulled into his warm embrace, I burst out with a laugh. "Have you forgotten that I'm a suspect that you've captured?" Stefan froze. I guess he did not expect the enemy he captured to actually be the wife he had been searching for all this time. He stroked my hair and said softly, "Tell me that there's nothing between the two of you, and I'll believe you."

Steve asked. Stefan shrugged. “It was not that bad, I had a job, I had a roof over my head and I was quite comfortable.” “Wait,” Steve frowned. “I thought you were imprisoned, he showed me what you were going through. I saw you in chains.” “Yeah, he does that sometimes, he can show you your darkest fears,” Stefan said with a cold smile. “And yours was seeing your brother in chains.” “This is some family reunion,” Long muttered.

"Yes, tell me!" Stefan was increasingly unhinged

So he calmed himself down and stayed cool again. "I've done talking now. I'll give you one day to make the decision. Get your money back in full included interest. I hope you will use your small bain to think hard and make the right decision. I'll give you a call by tomorrow." Stefan said and didn't care to say good-bye. He turned back to the door and strode out. ****
