Chapter 6: Someone From Stella's Past
The arrangement for the wedding was done by Macy, Maddie and Kevin. "So I like these flowers. It'd be beautiful for the bouquet when she walks down the aisle. Don't you think so?" Macy said and Maddie and Kevin nodded "Oh My God! And this dress. Look! It would be perfect for the bridesmaids" Maddie pointed out as she pointed at the magazine. "Yeah. That would be perfect" Kevin said.
"What about the cake?" Macy ask them and they opened the catalogue for the wedding cake choices. "this one looks pretty" Maddie said "Yeah but we need it to be gorgeous" Macy said and the other two nodded "okay then. What else is here?" Macy said as she flipped the pages.
After a few flips they finally found the perfect wedding cake. It's two-tiered wedding cake that has a beautiful floral icing and fondant on it. It's beautiful. When they showed it to Joe and Stella. Joe grinned and Stella jumped with joy and said "It's perfect! Thanks guys" and hug each and everyone of them including Joe. The preparation was done and the wedding is finally coming in a week from the day they chose the cake.
While they were busy preparing for the wedding, Stella was in a lot of surprise when her ex-boyfriend and also ex-husband to be precise. Van Dyke came knocking on the door while she was preparing to go out. She was alone. Joe left a few hours earlier because of a Press Conference.
"Van Dyke? What are you doing here?" Stella ask him. The man just walked passed her and went in the apartment without being invited in "Babe. Don't you remember your dear husband anymore?" he tried to kiss her but Stella manage to move away.
"No. You are not my husband anymore. You are long gone from my heart. Now please leave before I call the cops" and then the man grabbed her hand and kissed her lips, harshly. "Stop it" she said as she pushed him to the wall "Go away!" Stella yelled out as she run behind the couch.
"No!" he said as he come near Stella. "Boo!" he said and Stella screamed. She ran into the bedroom and was about to close the door when Van Dyke held it "Stella listen to me. I wanna talk to you!" he said "NO!" and she slammed the door causing to Van Dyle's finger to blister "Oww" Van Dyke said as he held his finger "Stella! Open the door!" he said knocking loudly "NO!" she said as she struggled to call Joe. She hid herself in the closet and called Joe.
"Hello. Joe. Help me. Some stranger is trying to kill me. HELP ME!" she said as she managed to choke the tears and the sound of the constant knocking of the door can be heard from a distant.
Joe heard the distress in her voice said "I'll be right there" and Joe drove 50 miles per hour to the apartment. "STELLA!" he called out and saw the man who broke Stella's heart a long time ago. "YOU! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" Joe yelled out and then there was a muffled answer as Stella hummed to herself loudly. Then she heard glass breaking and furniture moved and thuds.
She managed to stand up and walked towards the bed and she hid herself under the covers to drown out the sounds of the fight outside. About a few minutes later, she heard the door slammed and she heard Joe's voice "Stella? Are you okay? Can I come in?" and without waiting for an answer Joe came in the room and found Stella curled up in a ball. "Hey, are you okay?" he ask as he hugged her. She felt relieved and sigh "Yes, I'm fine. Just worried." and she sees a cut and couple of bruises on his face.
"Come on. Let's get you some ice for those cuts and bruises" and took Joe's hand and brought him to the kitchen. As they walked towards the kitchen, they passed the living room which was turned upside down and shards of glass were everywhere.
"You need to clean that up" Stella said strictly and Joe just grinned and nodded "Yes dear" and Stella couldn't help but to laugh. "But seriously. You make the mess…you clean it up" Stella said in a strict voice and Joe knew she's serious. "Yes ma'am" he said as he saluted. Stella managed to clean the cut and cover the bruises with her own make-up. "This would do the trick" and gave him the mirror and he gasped "I look like a girl" and Stella pinched his cheeks "Yes. You are. You can be a wuss sometimes too" and she laughed "Hey!" and laughed too. Everything is okay. For now.
They didn't know that Van Dyke has a connection with Joe's ex-scandal during their year in High School, Fiona Skye. The two of them decided and planned to ruin the wedding and break Stella and Joe up once and for all and this time it will be full proof.
