By the time she went back, Reagan was already awake but he was still laying on the bed. His eyes moved to the door immediately he saw her enter.
"How are you feeling?" Stella asked as she walked towards the bed.
"I'm fine now." He replied as she placed her hand on his forehead to check his temperature which had returned back to normal.
"What do you want for dinner?"
Reagan sighed and moved on the bed. "I really don't know. You choose for me." He replied.
"Ok, I'll make something for you." Stella said then walked out of the room.
Reagan watched her leave then stood up from the bed. He walked to the other side of the bed and picked up his phone which was laying on the bedside table.
The moment he turned it on, his lockscreen was bombarded with notifications and missed calls. His brows furrowed as he read through each of them. One of them caught his eyes.

Comment: Apologize!!
Reagan's eyes darkened when he saw a link attached to the comments. He tapped on one of them and it redirected him to a video.
The video started playing and what he saw next was a live interview of Amy. She was crying uncontrollably and she looked disheveled.
He tapped the play button.
In the video, Amy was sobbing and telling everyone how Stella had separated them and how she made Reagan hate her.
"I and Reagan have been dating since college. We were so engrossed in each other to the extent we thought we might get married. Unfortunately, my parents had to travel out for business and they didn't want to leave me behind since I was the only child. I went with them and some years later, I came back. I was excited to see Reagan when I returned back to the country but when I met him, his expression when he saw me wasn't what I was expecting to see and the way he spoke to me, I couldn't believe it. I was so devastated. The next time we met, to my surprise, he wasn't as closed off as last time. We talked and got along. Until one day, I noticed a girl named Stella was meeting him more often."
Reagan paused the video, he didn't want to hear the nonsense she was about to say.
He opened his call log and dialed a number. The call was instantly connected.
"Long time Mr. Reagan, so you've finally remembered that I exist..."
"I need you to do something."

Stella watched the water boil before adding the noodles to it. She walked over to the fridge and picked out the already diced tomatoes.
After washing them, she added them to the pot along with all the spices she needed to add and allowed it cook.
