Every word her mother spoke hit Nora like a sledgehammer.
The company was bankrupt, their assets were seized, and her father was in the ICU.
All these back-to-back catastrophes were entirely because of that one text message she had sent.
Gideon was punishing her, and he was using the most sadistic method possible to make the entire Xavier family bleed for Giselle's death.
All the strength vanished from Nora's fingers.
The old smartphone slipped from her grasp and hit the hardwood floor with a heavy thud.
The screen glowed faintly as her mother's helpless sobs continued to pour from the speaker.
"Nora... we're so sorry..."
Mrs. Xavier gasped for air, her voice dripping with bitter regret.
"I know he locked you up, I know you've suffered so much... Please take care of yourself in there, don't fight him..."
"We failed as parents. We shouldn't have been so greedy for the Hayes connection... we never should have agreed to that marriage pact."
"If we had stopped you, you wouldn't have spent the last three years in hell, and they wouldn't have broken you like this..."
Nora sat frozen on the floor.
Looking at the phone, a violent surge of emotion tore through her chest, shattering all her restraint and fear.
She couldn't just sit here and watch her father die in a hospital bed while her mother faced the wreckage alone.
Nora abruptly pushed herself off the floor.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Love I Begged For Was Never Real
Storyline is good..but author is wasting time on character's thoughts.why r u streching chapters it's really really boring and annoying.conversation between them childish.she is only saying him get out n what right do u have ..not telling him what he did to her not questioning him..demanding answer. And what happened to him why sudden change of heart care to explain author.....
For the past few chapters either she is sick or he is. It is slightly boring. Author pls let them talk about the issues , she is not at all scolding him.. every scoldings are playing in her mind only. We want some talk between them....
I am also thinking the same....
Has he mistaken Nora as Giselle?...
What happened to him🤔 did he forget everything?...
Hey can u also upload the book " woke up married to my cheating ex"....
Does he know the orphan girl is actually Nora?...
So is he trying to justify everything? At wat rite??? Wer were he wen she needed him the most.......
Haha finally going to see redemption...
I don’t think reborn will happen in this novel. It will be full of her blood only. Actually The title should be changed to only Nora’s suffering instead the love I begged was never real....
