COLD

Chapter 48 Family.

Stella and her mum sat at the back while Mira sat in the front passenger seat. Tyson drove the car absentmindedly.

He glanced at Stella through the rearview mirror. She had a sweet smile on her face and whispered to her mum.

When they got home, Stella took her mum into their apartment. Mira and Tyson followed behind.

" It's nice to have you back Mrs Amelia." Mira said with a smile and the latter smiled back. Although she wasn't familiar with this new environment, she still looked around cautiously.

Genevieve came back some minutes later and joined Stella and her mum, while Mira and Tyson worked in the kitchen. Stella soon came to join them but Tyson didn't allow her do any work.

He told her to just sit and watch. Stella obeyed and sat down. She soon became tired and brought out her phone.

Reading through her messages, her heart skipped a beat when she saw a message from Reagan.

" What's my woman doing?" The message read.

Stella smiled and typed on her phone, a smile that didn't escape Tyson's eyes.

Who could she be talking to that's making her smile so much?

" I'm hugging my pillow and lying on my bed." Stella replied and added a sad emoji at the end. She tried not to laugh, she wondered what Reagan would think the sad emoji meant.

Almost instantly, she got a reply." Why are you sad?" The reply came with a concerned-looking  emoji. It made her feel sweet allover.

Stella smiled and replied." Cuz I'm missing my man." This time she added a crying emoji.

She didn't receive his reply for some time and she thought maybe he had gone back to work. She was about dropping her phone when his message came through.

" Come to the company. Now!" The message sounded like an order in her ear. They were just ordinary words but she read them like as if Reagan was really in front of her saying those words.

" No, I'm not coming. I don't want to disturb your work." Stella texted back then turned off her phone. He might be busy and she going there would disturb his work.

Her phone beeped and she glanced at the message. Reagan sent a sad emoji and a crying emoji. Stella giggled and sent him a kiss emoji and that same minute, Reagan replied saying," Just wait till I find you."

" Stella come help me wash the vegetables." Tyson called.

" Ok." Stella replied as she stood up. She walked towards the sink and Tyson handed her the vegetables.

Meanwhile, Adriana was being scolded by her parents as she stood in front of them.

" I never knew you were seeing another man behind Reagan's back. Now what is the old master going to think of you. I was so close to having your marriage fixed with Reagan but look what you did. You've spoilt everything with your own hands." Adriana's father shouted angrily.

" Honey, calm down. Don't be harsh on her." Janelle said, trying to calm her husband down.

" I shouldn't be harsh on her. Look at the daughter you raised. And yet I was getting angry at Reagan when he decided to marry Sophia, not knowing that the daughter I thought was still pure wasn't as pure as I thought. You were already having an affair even before you got introduced to Reagan. You have made me lose too much face, do you know what people on the internet are saying about us?" He asked angrily.

Adriana sobbed quietly and cleaned the tears on her face. She didn't expect this secret to be exposed one day.

She sobbed and looked at her father. He was angry to the extent veins showed on his face.
