The Love I Begged For Was Never Real novel Chapter 447

This prolonged, exhausting chase had driven everyone to the brink, ultimately dragging the Xavier family straight into the grave.

But now, it was finally over.

*Snap.*

A violent rustling erupted from the bushes behind her.

Urgent footsteps mingled with heavy, ragged breathing, rapidly shattering the deathly silence of the cliff.

Nora turned around, her movements sluggish.

On the mountain path below, several glaring flashlight beams cut erratically through the darkness.

Nathan, his face smeared with blood and mud, staggered frantically to the top of the cliff, closely trailed by several hard-faced Hayes bodyguards.

Seeing Nora standing on the absolute edge, her heels practically hovering over the abyss, Nathan trembled uncontrollably in sheer terror.

"Nora! What the hell are you doing now?!"

He screamed at her, his voice cracking with utter desperation.

"Mom and Dad are dead! The family is completely gone! What good does jumping off this cliff do?! Will it bring them back?! What is this going to change?!"

Faced with her brother's hysterical breakdown, Nora simply looked at him.

A tragic, faded smile tugged at the corners of her mouth, her chapped lips parting to breathe out a single, faint word:

"Sorry..."

She was sorry to her parents, sorry to her brother, and sorry to the baby who had left before ever getting to see the world.

One of the bodyguards stepped forward, his expression an emotionless mask, his tone as indifferent as ever:

"Mrs. Hayes, there is no need for this pointless struggle."

"Mr. Hayes has already made it clear. He does not wish to see you. Threatening him with your life is completely meaningless."

Threatening him?

Nora let out a soft laugh and shook her head.

She had never wanted to threaten anyone. She was just too tired.

In a world where she couldn't find a single inch of refuge, even drawing another breath felt like sheer torture.
