Billionaire’s Unseen Love (Bella and Alex)

48: The Gala of Truth

Nathan’s reluctance to apologize to Emma was etched deeply in his heart. His disdain for her, once unbridled and scornful, now clashed with the dire situation his company faced. As the charity gala bussed with anticipation, the weight of his impending public apology loomed large.

Alex, who had played mediator, approached Nathan one last time before the confrontation. “This isn’t just about our company, Nathan. It’s about setting things right, regardless of the past,”

Nathan, his voice tinged with frustration and disbelief, responded, “And you think a public apology will fix everything? To Emma, of all people?”

“Yes,” Alex affirmed, his voice steady and resolute. “It’s about accountability. It’s about acknowledging mistakes and learning from them.”

Nathan scoffed, his pride bruised. “And since when did you become Emma’s champion? You, of all people, should understand why I can’t just bow down to her!”

Alex’s expression softened, his voice reflecting a hint of remorse, “I’ve had a lot of time to reflect, Nathan. Maybe too much time. And I’ve come to realize that there’s strength in admitting our faults. It’s not weakness. It’s growth. This makes you the bigger person in the overall picture.”

As the gala progressed, Emma arrived, her presence a blend of elegance and confidence. She navigated the room with a grace that belled the undercurrents of tension.
