The Love I Begged For Was Never Real novel Chapter 413

"I'm sorry..."

Nora wailed, her voice tearing into a ragged croak as she frantically shook her head, tears streaming uncontrollably down her face.

"I can't pay it back..."

Looking down at her blood-soaked hands, she choked out, "I'm sorry. I have nothing left..."

Through her violent sobs, she forced the agonizing words out.

"Gideon, I have absolutely nothing left. What am I supposed to use to pay for your sister's life..."

Listening to her desperate cries, the tears in Gideon's eyes only fell harder.

"I just want Giselle..."

He sounded like a madman who couldn't process human language, stubbornly repeating the same phrase. "Give her back to me..."

"I can't!"

Nora shrieked as she broke down, tears dripping from her chin. "I can never repay what I owe you or the Hayes family! Not in a million lifetimes! Kill me! Just kill me right now and take my life as an apology to her!"

She shoved her mangled, bloody hands right in front of his face, laying bare her total despair and powerlessness.

"Look at what I've become! You've already destroyed me! You've destroyed the Xavier family! If you want a life, take mine!"

Nora screamed until her lungs gave out. "But I really can't bring her back! She's dead! It doesn't matter how much blood you spill, she is never coming back!"

Those words punctured the delusion Gideon had been trying so desperately to maintain.

The emptiness in the man's eyes instantly twisted into devastating agony.

He raised his right hand, clutching the fabric of his shirt over his heart, and let out wave after wave of repressed, guttural whimpers.
