Well.. this does not look good.

Looks like some fungus.
What I would do... I would cut that part off like 2-3 cm above (above that yellow part). Also cut then big damaged leaf off. That one spot on the top leaf - you can observe it and if it dries up and doesn't get bigger you can probably leave it. If this is fungus it might spread. Cut it off!
After the main middle stem is infected there is almost no way to save it.

Cut the dried and damaged flower stem. There is no use for them.
I would also cut down the ones that do not have any buds so the plant doesn't get tempted to grow new flowers there and doesn't lose energy. Better for her to grow some new leaves now.

Roots look good. She will be fine :) Just a bit butchered.

Omg, fungus? I missed the day lol 😂

I just called Dexter so he did some butchering work :D

Back to seriousness! So if the fungus spread, no way to save her :(
So, I cut off the big totally damaged leaf. This one from the photo too, not the whole but as your said, a few cm above the yellow part. I removed all the dried stems, so now we have just the one with flowers and a few small ones with fresh buds. And one big leaf, one with that spot and half leaf that is cut. The new, small ones are there to save hopefully the plant!

The spot in the underleaf will be monitored, but there are some smaller black dots too, all over it, so I don't have too much hope. 😐

I should have seen this happening before 🤦‍♀ but thank you so much for your time to give me the guide on what to do!! If she dies, you can call me officially a plant-killer!

Hahaha yeaaa :D

It can be stopped and she will be fine :)
There are fungicide sprays, but I never use them. I am not 100% sure if it is fungi, just looks like that one that one leaf. Observe the rest. If they go bigger cut. If not, maybe the leaf will be fine and it can be removed when new ones are big enough.
You could put a bit of cinnamon on the wound after the cut - just on the edge. Cinnamon has drying, antibacterial and antifungal properties and it can help healing faster. Just make sure it doesn't fall on the roots.

The new buds still might blast so don't get scared :) If they do that - cut the flower spikes. Let her recover.

Ok, I will have it in mind. I already saw some of those white flowers getting a bit dried today. And it is just a day she lives inside.

Cinnamon...now I have an idea. I am going to bake 😅
