Gideon's arms remained locked around Nora's waist. His hands trembled violently, and the freezing aura radiating from him mixed with the metallic scent of blood oozing from his lower lip, invading her senses.
Nora kept her eyes closed, simply letting his blood-tinged body heat press against the side of her neck.
She spoke with a dry, icy tone.
"Let go, Gideon."
Hearing her words, the body holding her stiffened completely.
"No."
Instead of obeying her and letting go, he tightened his grip, pulling her even closer.
The tiny gap between them vanished as their bodies pressed seamlessly together.
His voice was impossibly raspy, laced with a shocking amount of hoarseness and surrender, murmuring frantically against her ear.
"I'll listen to you from now on. As long as you don't leave, I'll listen to whatever you say."
His chin dug into the side of her neck, his warm, erratic breaths brushing against her skin.
"Stay, please? Whatever you want, I'll give it to you. Stop running. It's so cold outside, you'll be scared by yourself."
That warm breath dusting her collarbone carried a desperate, subservient pleading.
Trapped in his embrace, listening to these tender words whispered right by her ear, Nora felt a bone-deep chill rise from her very marrow, making her scalp go completely numb.
*It's cold outside, she'll be scared by herself.*

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....
