The Love I Begged For Was Never Real novel Chapter 394

"They've been punished. The Xavier family is ruined. Please, lift the bans and give them a way out. My dad can't take this anymore..."

"You can take your revenge on me. You can seize every single asset the Xavier family owns. Just please, unfreeze one account so my dad has money to stay alive."

Standing there, she threw every last shred of her pride and dignity to the floor, all to buy her parents a sliver of hope.

Gideon kept his eyes closed, his eyelashes completely still, as if he hadn't heard a single word she said.

The Xavier family's bankruptcy, her father's stroke—to Gideon, these words were nothing but pebbles tossed into a bottomless abyss. They echoed into nothingness.

The only sound in the room was their breathing.

Seeing his impenetrable, ice-cold facade, pure desperation consumed her.

Nora gritted her teeth.

Her legs gave out, and she collapsed heavily onto the carpet, scattering the white pills with a muffled thud.

The sheer force of the drop sent a sharp, agonizing cramp through her abdomen, forcing a sharp gasp from her lips as a cold sweat broke out across her forehead.

Fighting through the pain, she braced her hands against the carpet and slumped to the floor before Gideon.

This was the first time in her life she had ever broken down like this in front of someone.

Before the man who had been her husband for three years, the man who was actively dragging her into hell, she surrendered completely.

"Gideon, I'm begging you."

Throwing her head back, she looked at his closed eyes as tears streamed down her face.

"I sent that text. I'm the one who called her up to the roof. Every single mistake is mine. If you want revenge, if you want to vent your rage, aim it all at me."
