Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 160

Nicholas had been sentenced to eight years of jail time for intentional assault to protect Linda.

Linda had gone to visit him in prison countless times during her university years, but the warden’s response would always be a cold, “He doesn’t want to see you”.

Her last visit was when she graduated from university. She had gotten the company offer and wanted him to be the first person she shared the happy news with.

…

As she anxiously waited outside the visiting room, she heard the heavy noise of the metal door. Her tears were uncontrollable when Nicholas sat on the other side of the glass that separated them.

This was his first and last sentence to her. “Don’t cry. It’s not worth it to cry over someone like me.”

He looked at her deeply after that before getting up and going behind the metal door.

Linda slammed the glass with all her might, and the prison warden stopped her. The news came from the inside a while later. The warden told her solemnly that Nicholas had asked her not to visit him anymore and that she should act like they did not know each other even if they met.

Linda could only hear her ears buzz as her mind went blank.

After she left, Nicholas fell so ill in prison that he almost died. While he was groggy and sick, Linda’s soft voice and giggles appeared in his mind, interspersed with the gang leader’s dark face.

“Nicholas, you said you’re protecting me this lifetime. You better keep your promise!”

“Nick, I’ll give you 30% of the profit as long as you’re able to get these out!”

“Nicholas, I want to go to Centrolis for university. If you don’t want to continue studying, work there, okay? Then we won’t have to be parted!”

“Hah, I remember you have a girlfriend, right? I’ll get someone else to do the job if you don’t want to do it, but I can’t mistreat my underlings. Your girlfriend will have to keep them happy!”

Nicholas’ brows were knitted together as fat droplets of sweat dotted his forehead.

“Don’t hurt her… No one can hurt her!”

He had said that he was going to protect her forever. He was a man of his word and would not break his promise. However, the premise of protecting her was that he had to be alive.
