He didn't say anything to her for some moments and let her take out all the frustration she had for him. Although he didn't think she would be thinking about all these things at this moment but somewhere he knew she is absolutely correct.
"Don't think too much Reina... And... and I am sorry that I can't give you any proper answers to your questions. Now sleep!" He apologized to her because he was completely tongue tied at that moment. There was no answer to her questions at that time but she was not ready to let go of this topic, especially when he is not in his foul mood.
So she asked, "Please tell me V... I want the direct answer. Do you like me and pretending to hate me or do you really hate me from the core of your heart?"
"I don't hate you Reina!" He replied.
"Then why are you always behaving with me like that?"
"I don't know!"
Sighing helplessly she asked another question which was revolving around her mind for a very long time, "Um... Why do you keep all my photos on your phone?"
"Did you see that in your own eyes Mm...?" He asked.
"No... But your girlfriend had told me that you have kept photos of mine in your phone using a separate folder named as 'S' and there all types of photos of me while eating, sleeping, dancing, cooking, every moment's pictures were present. Is it true that you clicked those pictures without my knowledge and have them on your phone?" She expected some type of answers from him.
But all her expectations got broken into many pieces when he again told her a very simple but unexpected line, "I haven't!"
"Are you saying that your girlfriend lied to me?"
"Maybe she had!"
"No you are lying to me V and when I'm asking you some questions I am expecting the honest answers from you!"
"If you don't believe you can check out my phone. Maybe you will believe what I'm saying to you right now." He stated in his ever calm expression while her heart kept on squeezing in pain.
"No need for that! I think you are right. I should sleep now because you know what? I don't think I can ever get my answers from you if you continue to answer me like this. So it will be better if I stay quiet. And it will be also better for you if you just stay away from me. Playing with someone's feelings is not a good thing V and it's exactly what you are doing with my feelings right now. Good night!" She said and turned around to the other side so that now her back is facing towards him. His hold even got slightly loose around her while he was constantly staring at her from the backside.
Time seems to fly just like that but sleep was not taking the name of consuming him at any time. He was thinking about so many things and he wasn't able to understand how to deal with all these things. Making sure that she has been completely asleep he just whispered a few words near her ear, "One thing is sure Stella, that I can never ever dare to play with your feelings. Not even in my dreams. Good night!"
Unbeknownst to him at the very same time a slight tear drop managed to fall down from her closed eyes.

The next day it was Sunday which means there was no school today. The rain was slightly pouring down outside still giving that chill vive at that time. It was her who first opened her eyes only to find him holding her by her bare waist and snuggling his head in the crook of her neck enjoying the warmth of her body. She was feeling the tickling sensation all over her body due to his warm touch. The sight was so heartwarming that she didn't want this moment to end anytime soon.
After some moments he opened her eyes and the first thing he saw was her beautiful face staring back at him holding unknown emotions on her face. He couldn't control himself and lifted himself so suddenly and pecked her lips taking her off guard for some moments. She was looking so enticing, so alluring that he forgot every conversation that happened between them last night and joined his lips with her but the next second he did realise what he had done and sat up straightly on the bed.
His bare back was facing towards her while she was still laying on the bed staring at his back. No one was saying anything at that moment and this awkward silence was killing them both from the inside.
"I'm going to the school today for my football practice. Aunt Maria will be here with you all the day until I return. Eat well and take your medicines timely." He said still facing his back to her and then in the next moment he got up and left her room while she was still looking at his way without blinking her eyes.
Her mood became sad once again but thinking that she can't do anything about him she also got up from the bed and did her daily routine. After getting ready for the day she came downstairs only to find that he had already left for school. Sister Maria was already there and when she saw her coming she served her breakfast and asked her about how she is doing. Smiling at her Stella said she is doing fine but from inside she was not fine at all.
Time passed and she was again watching Tom and Jerry on TV but her mind was somewhere else at that time. Suddenly she felt someone came from behind and closed her eyes using her palms.
She got startled a bit but in the next moment a small smile started to appear on her beautiful face. She knew who the person was. It was Lisa and she didn't take even a second to tell the person's name. "Lisa!!!" She said excitedly.
"I knew that you would guess me. I told Ryan to cover your eyes instead of me, but he didn't listen to me." Lisa said coming in front of her. Along with her Nancy and Ryan were also there.
Ignoring her earlier words about Ryan she said excitedly, "What a pleasant surprise guys! Why don't you all tell me about your arrival!" She looked at her friends. She never knew that they would come to see her today.
"Because we wanted to surprise you! Nancy replied.
"You don't look good Bella... What happened to your face?" Ryan asked getting so worried. No one knows what happened with her in the school although they knew about how Victon carried her from the school on his bike but still they don't know the actual reasons behind it.
Rumours about Victon and Stella are already spread across the whole school just like a wild fire and the students have actually started to doubt their relationship about whether they are step brothers and sisters or they are just pretending to be like that. And that's how the trio came to know about the hot news of the school.
Stella contemplated in her mind for some moments whether to tell them about that incident or not but then decided to tell them.
She started to narrate everything that happened with her that evening skipping the part where the girl had told that why she is taking revenge from her. As they continued to listen to her the trio wanted nothing but to take the revenge on her behalf. How dare they try to do something so inhuman with their friend! Stella could clearly sense how they must be feeling right now. "Guys, you all just need to calm down. Look, I'm completely fine now." She tried to make them understand.
"No Bella! We can't let go of this matter this easily. Are you sure you don't know why they tried to beat you Bella?" Lisa asked.
"Yes, Lisa." She lied because she didn't want them to think anything wrong about her and Victon's relationship...
