The Love I Begged For Was Never Real novel Chapter 479

Nora's pupils contracted violently, her mind exploding into white noise.

Her eyes widened in horror as she felt the man's searing breath and hyper-aggressive assault.

She thrashed her head wildly to dodge him, clenching her jaw tight while muffled whimpers of absolute resistance tore from her throat.

Sensing her struggle, Gideon tightened his grip even more, pinning her wrists down with crushing force.

With his other arm, he wrapped tightly around her waist, crushing her body seamlessly against his own as he kissed her deeper.

Suffocating and going weak all over, Nora finally found an opening and bit down viciously on his lower lip.

Gideon's assault paused for a fraction of a second.

Seizing that fleeting moment, Nora forcefully yanked her pinned wrist free, gathered every last drop of strength she had left, and slapped him across the face as hard as she could.

*SMACK—!!*

A resounding slap echoed through the dead-silent master bedroom.

She had put everything into that strike, leaving her own palm numb and trembling.

Gideon's head was knocked sharply to the side, a streak of crimson blood trailing from the corner of his mouth.

"Are you done? Now get the hell off me!"

The air in the room completely froze.

Nora's chest heaved violently as she gasped for breath.

She stared fiercely at Gideon, who was still frozen with his head turned away. Her eyes were wide with terror and defensiveness, fully bracing herself for the apocalyptic wrath that was sure to follow.

Gideon remained locked in that position, staring blankly, completely motionless.

His towering, arrogant pride and need for absolute control seemed to have been entirely shattered by that single slap.

The terrifying, violent storm in his eyes slowly receded, replaced by an agonizing, near-hopeless vulnerability and total collapse.
