Braving the torrential rain and howling wind, she ran as fast as her legs could carry her toward the dilapidated bus station on the edge of town.
The freezing rain instantly soaked through her thin clothing, the wet fabric clinging tightly to her skin and sending biting chills straight to her bones.
Her old injuries in both hands flared up with piercing agony under the relentless downpour, but Nora didn't dare slow down for a second.
The night wind roared in her ears. Staring at the dimly lit street ahead, her heart pounded violently in her chest.
In two years, she had never been this desperate to escape.
She had to leave this place—to leave anywhere that lunatic existed—and go somewhere no one knew her, just to start over.
As long as she got on that bus, as long as she made it out of this town, she could finally shake off this haunting ghost.
4:45 AM.
Nora reached the rundown bus station on the outskirts of town.
The dilapidated waiting area had only a single, flickering yellow bulb. The smell of gasoline and mildew hung heavy in the air, while a few battered long-distance buses sat silently in the muddy lot.
Clutching the soaked ticket with her freezing fingers, she stepped toward the entrance. But the exact moment her foot touched the steps of the waiting room—
*VROOOOM—!!*
Blinding vehicle headlights violently pierced through the storm with no warning, locking onto Nora's pale face.
Accompanied by the screech of tearing tires, several black luxury cars swerved into a semi-circle, instantly blocking the station's battered gates entirely.
Dozens of bodyguards in bespoke black suits leapt from the vehicles with black umbrellas in hand, encircling the station like an impenetrable iron cage.
The few passengers and staff inside shrieked in terror at the sudden ambush, sending the station into instant chaos.

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....
