"Nora, you see it now."
"This kind of small town is far too chaotic. It's no place for you. If you stay here without my protection, you'll constantly be in danger."
Gideon stared intensely into her unnervingly calm eyes. His hand tightened slightly, his voice dropping to a low murmur:
"I will handle all these problems for you. You don't have to suffer like this."
"Come back with me."
"Come back to The Metropolis, back to my side. I promise, no one will ever dare touch a single hair on your head again."
He spoke with absolute conviction, his deep eyes swirling with an intense, suffocating level of devotion and pleading.
Nora stood amid the ruined shop.
She looked at the man standing before her, earnestly vowing to protect her.
He was always like this—used to controlling everything, used to dispensing his mercy from his untouchable pedestal.
He was going to solve her problems?
Did he even realize that every single catastrophic, world-ending disaster she had ever faced in her life was purely because of him?
"Mr. Hayes."
Nora tilted her chin up, a frigid smile tugging at the corners of her lips:
"Do you feel incredibly noble right now? Like some grand savior?"
"I have lived in this remote town for two whole years."
"For two years, there was no almighty Hayes Group, no scheming or framing. Even with the occasional extortionist punk, I lived my life in total peace."

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....
