13 Revelations and Regrets

In his car, away from the bustling masquerade, Alex stared at his phone, the weight of the unfolding scandal

heavy upon him. Reluctantly, he played the video attached to the latest news article, a move he instantly

regretted. It showed a raw, unfiltered scene between Bella and an unnamed director, their intimacy undeniable.

Watching the entire clip, a mix of pain and anger surged within him. He had always believed in Bella's innocence,

but now, the stark reality confronted him mercilessly. The voices, the expressions, the

Undeniable familiarity between Bella and the director - it was all too real.

After the video ended, Alex was left in a state of numb disbelief. The public commentary, crudely focusing on

Bella's appearance and speculating on the video's authenticity, only added to his disgust.

His phone rang, breaking the silence. It was Bella, her voice laced with panic and desperation. “Alex, it’s all lies!

You have to believe me. That video isn't real!”

Her pleas fell on deaf ears. Alex's response was icy, a stark contrast to his usual warmth. “You expectto

believe it's fake? | can’t ignore what's right in front of me!”

Bella's defense was frantic. “I was forced, Alex. | didn’t have a choice back then. | was trapped.”

Alex's reply was bitter. “You had a choice. You could've reached out to me. But you chose to handle it alone.”

Listening to her sobs, Alex's heart softened momentarily, recalling the times when Emma had faced similar

situations. She had chosen honesty and openness, unlike Bella, who now seemed to drown in her own web of

lies.

“Don’t cry, Bella. Whether it’s true or not, I'll handle it. But things between us... they can’t be the same

anymore.”

Alex's mind was clouded, the constant surrounding Bella exhausting him. He remembered how different

things were with Emma, how her straightforwardness and integrity had been a stark contrast to the chaos he

now faced.

Bella’s reaction was one of shock and disbelief. “You're leavingover this?”

Alex's thoughts drifted to Emma again. Her absence, once a dull ache, was now a sharp pang of regret. He

realized the depth of his mistake in letting her go, especially compared to the tumultuous path he now walked

with Bella.

He ended the call with a heavy heart, a mix of frustration and longing for the simpler times he had shared with

Emma. In that moment, Alex understood the true cost of his choices, the complexity of his current situation

casting Emma’s genuine nature in a new, irreplaceable light.
