Billionaire’s Unseen Love ( Bella and Alex )

119 The Price of Betrayal 

In the dimly lit hospital room, the atmosphere was thick with tension. Lillian, still reeling from the aftermath of her encounter with Gable, was a mix of fear and defiance. Her arm, now a constant 

reminder of her actions, throbbed painfully. 

“Why did it have to be this way?” she whispered, tears brimming in her eyes. 

Just outside the room, Alex was lost in thought, reflecting on the chain of events that led to this moment. He never imagined that his family’s actions would cause such a rift, leading to irreversible 

consequences. 

As he stepped inside, the sight of Lillian’s distressed state brought a deep frown to his face. “Lillian, what have you done to bring this upon yourself?” 

Lillian, seeing her brother, attempted to gain sympathy. “Alex, it’s not what you think. I was just caught in a bad situation.” 

Alex, however, wasn’t swayed. “Lillian, our actions have consequences. You can’t escape that fact.” 

In another part of the hospital, Emma and Gable were deep in conversation. Gable, his face a picture of regret and frustration, tried to explain his actions. 

“Emma, I thought I was doing the right thing. I wanted to protect you, to make them pay for their wrongdoings.” 

Emma, her expression calm yet sad, responded softly, “Gab, I appreciate your intentions, but 

violence isn’t the answer. We need to be better than that.” 

Their conversation was interrupted by a knock on the door. It was Alex, looking more troubled than. ever. The sight of him caused Gable to tense up, his hands clenching into fists. 

“Alex, what brings you here?” Emma asked, her tone neutral. 

Alex’s voice was laced with regret. “I needed to see you, Emma. After everything that’s happened, I realized how much I’ve wronged you.” 

Gable’s anger flared up. “You’re too late, Alex. Your realizations mean nothing now. 

Alex, taking a deep breath, faced Emma. “I know I can’t undo the past, but I want to make things right, in whatever way I can.” 

Emma, gazing at him with a mixture of pity and resolve, replied, “Alex, it’s over. There’s nothing left to be said or done.” 

The weight of Emma’s words hung heavy in the air, marking an end to what once was. Alex, his heart. heavy with remorse, turned to leave, his steps echoing through the empty corridor. 

In the quiet of the hospital room, the reality of their fractured lives was palpable. Each of them, lost in their own thoughts, pondered the irreversible paths they had chosen and the price they had to pay for
