Billionaire’s Unseen Love (Bella and Alex)

102 Unveiling the Mask

Alex’s gaze lingered on his sister Lillian, yet he refrained from speaking, choosing instead to immerse himself with his business acquaintances. Lillian, trailing behind, felt a sense of isolation

amidst the bustling crowd.

As they navigated the sea of faces, Lillian’s energy waned. She sought refuge in a corner just as Emma Smirnoff, renowned for her grace and strength, appeared. Emma, intending to join her friends, found herself face–to–face with Lillian. Their history was fraught with tension, and the air grew thick with unspoken words.

Emma, undeterred by Lillian’s venom, focused on her agenda. She was there to tie up loose ends and confront the undercurrents threatening her peace.
