Staring at his flawlessly mild facade, the chill in Nora's heart grew even deeper.
He had clearly seen it.
She was certain Gideon had watched Vincent's entire display of attentiveness from his car.
But he hadn't done a thing.
Not only did he not lose his temper, but he had also approached her with an even more submissive, fawning attitude.
He had forcefully choked down all his jealousy, playing the part of the magnanimous, deeply affectionate partner.
Nora coldly withdrew her gaze and turned toward the storage room to count the remaining floral supplies.
Gideon watched her silently.
The moment her back was turned, the gentle warmth in his eyes darkened into something utterly sinister.
Night fell.
On the other side of the small town.
Vincent Shaw's bookstore was getting ready to close.
He had pulled the metal rolling door halfway down and was counting the cash in the register.
His mind was still replaying Nora's soft smile from earlier that afternoon, plotting an excuse to go see the elegant shop owner again tomorrow.
But thinking back to what had happened in the flower shop later that day still made his chest ache with lingering humiliation.
Suddenly, several unmarked black SUVs pulled up silently on the street outside the bookstore.
The doors opened, and over a dozen heavily built men in black suits filed out.
The Head of Security walked at the front, wearing black leather gloves. His face was deadpan as he approached the entrance.

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....
