Billionaire’s Unseen Love (Bella and Alex)

Chapter 6

6 A Return and a Reconciliation

Emma's return to her childhood hafter three long years stirred a whirlwind of emotions. She hesitated at the

doorstep, contemplating whether to retreat, but was abruptly pushed inside.

“What took you so long? We've been waiting for years!” Jada, her childhood best friend, exclaimed, her

frustration and relief intermingled. Emma was taken aback, facing Jada, with whom she shared every secret and

dream.

Their last encounter had been a bitter argument over Emma’s decision to marry Alex. Jada had strongly opposed

it, leading to a rift that lasted years, with both families caught in the middle.

Reunited, tears welled up in Emma’s eyes. She had never expected to mend bridges with Jada or her family.

Jada, tears streaming down her face, urged Emma further inside. “Your brother and dad are waiting, she said, her

voice choked with emotion.

Emma, overwhelmed, nodded and followed. Inside, she found her father, Stark, and her brother, Wayne. Seeing

them, emotions she had suppressed surged forth. She rushed into her father's embrace, noticing how thad

etched lines of worry on his once youthful face.

Wayne watched silently, allowing the emotional reunion to unfold.

“Dad...” Emma whispered, her voice breaking. Her father’s hug tightened, a silent exchange of love and

forgiveness.

Approaching Wayne, Emma apologized, recalling their heated argument over her marriage to Alex. She braced

herself for his anger but found only a gentle acceptance.

Wayne's assurance that her return was all that mattered filled Emma with warmth. Her family’s unconditional

love was her true haven, she realized, regretting the years spent away. Emma and Wayne hugged each other

tightly, with Emma weeping silently.

Wayne's mention of their sulking second brother reminded Emma of the strained relationship with him, too. She

felt a pang of anxiety at the thought of facing him.

Wayne's reassurance eased her worries. Her family’s love was unwavering, regardless of past

conflicts.

That night, in her childhood bedroom, Emma found reminders of her family’s thoughts and care. Overwhelmed

by their love, she felt a deep sense of gratitude.

Her reverie was broken by a call from Lillian, her sister-in-law, accusing her of stealing a necklace. Confused,

Emma resolved to return all the lavish gifts she had received from Alex to his family. All she had ever wanted was

his love and attention, and she never got them anyway. Of what use were his expensive gifts if there was no love

between them?
