Nora let out a dry, exasperated laugh at his deadpan nonsense.
Ignoring her resistance, Gideon half-guided, half-forced her over to the Carousel.
He led her onto the rotating platform and picked out the most ornate white horse.
Gripping her slender waist, he effortlessly lifted her into the air and set her firmly onto the horse's back.
Nora frowned at the sudden weightlessness, but just as she opened her mouth to scold him, he released his grip.
Instead of taking the horse next to hers, Gideon simply stood by her side, resting one hand casually on the brass pole.
To the rhythm of the music, the Carousel began to slowly rise and fall.
The morning sunlight cascaded over them. Sitting on the wooden horse, Nora's gaze drifted past the park's colorful rooftops toward the sparkling ocean in the distance.
Gideon stood close by, his eyes intently tracing the profile of her face as the sea breeze ruffled her hair.
Three minutes later, the ride slowly coasted to a halt.
"Wait here for a second."
Gideon walked briskly toward a nearby concession stand.
A uniformed staff member was standing inside.
Gideon reached out, taking something the employee handed him.
The man turned around, his long legs striding purposefully as he walked back toward Nora, step by step.
Rooted to the spot, Nora's eyes dropped to what he was holding.
This was the ruthless CEO of the Hayes Group, the man whose cutthroat decisions in The Metropolis made countless people tremble in fear. The powerful patriarch who was always clad in bespoke suits, signing billion-dollar contracts.

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....
