Married a Secret Billionaire

“Nicholas,” Linda spoke in a quiet voice after some time. “I know you don’t want to see me. Since you said we shouldn’t contact each other anymore, we might as well make it clear.”

Surprised, Cordelia rushed up to hold her back. “Linda, what are you talking about?”

“Cordelia, I understand your intention.” Linda took a deep breath and forced a smile. “But Mr. Thompson here… Heh, it’s clear he doesn’t want to talk to me anymore.”

“No! Linda, he—”

“He should give me back what’s mine!”

Nicholas froze and felt his heart squeeze. It hurt like blood was oozing from his heart. He knew that what she meant by hers was the ring on his neck—but she had no idea how he had risked his life to protect the ring these ten years. He had found his future to be hopeless when he went to prison. The ring had been his motivation and support that kept him alive.

Life in prison was not easy. He would often get into fights with other inmates. Even when he was beaten up, he would keep the ring in his chest—where his heart was. Everyone knew that he had this precious ring, and all of them thought that he was crazy to risk his life over something that was only a few dollars.

Nicholas unconsciously guarded the ring with a hand and slowly turned to face Linda.

“Sorry, this is mine.”

“But I bought it back then.” Linda looked impassive.

“You bought it, but… you gave it to me!” Nicholas glared and kept the ring closer to him. “It’s mine since you’ve given it to me. You have no right to ask for it back!”

“I gave it to the man who vowed to be nice to me for life! Not you!” Linda glared back at him.

As the tall and gorgeous figure greeted Nicholas’ sight, he could not help gripping the handle of his wheelchair tighter.
