The Love I Begged For Was Never Real novel Chapter 359

The moment Gideon's fingers made contact, they violently clamped down, the veins on the back of his hand bulging grotesquely.

With one arm, he forcefully hoisted Nora completely off the ground.

Her feet dangled uselessly in the air, her back slamming violently against the solid hospital wall.

A sickening thud echoed as her spine and the back of her head cracked against the concrete, making her vision swim in a sea of black spots.

Gideon glared at her face, which was rapidly turning a bruised purple from oxygen deprivation. A horrifying, bone-chilling madness ignited within his deadened eyes.

"Why did you push her?! Nora... tell me, why did you push her?!"

He roared hysterically, every single word ground out through clenched teeth as massive, scalding tears streamed down his face.

"If you had a grudge against me, if you had a problem with the Hayes family, come at me!! Come at Gideon Hayes!!"

His fingers constricted tighter and tighter, practically digging directly into her soft flesh.

"Why did you push her?! She was only twenty-two! What did she ever do wrong for you to shove her off a building?!"

Nora's hands scrabbled weakly at Gideon's iron grip around her throat. But the sheer disparity in strength, combined with Gideon's absolute, unhinged fury, made all her resistance feel like mere scratching.

The air supply was instantly and entirely severed.

The oxygen in her lungs was violently extracted, and a piercing, deafening ring erupted in her eardrums.

Nora gaped her mouth wide, her cracked lips trembling uncontrollably, yet unable to force out even a single syllable.

She stared into Gideon's eyes and saw no trace of the cool rationale that shielded her at the factory, nor the gentle warmth they shared in the master bedroom.

There was only hatred.
