My Belittled Husband Is A Billionaire

Winter’s POVPublished by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

How dare he say those things to me? He’s saying that I am not his type?! As if he is so handsome!

He even kissed me, and now he’s saying he doesn’t like me?

“You know what? I think he just kissed you because he was drunk. It’s not as if he really wanted to kiss you.” Haley said.

“And what are you trying to say? That he doesn’t want to kiss me? Haley, who on earth wouldn’t want to kiss Winter Wesley?!”

She shrugged. “Matthew?”

“Damn him. Where did he even get the nerve to reject me like that? Does he think I’m chasing after him?!”

“Come on, Winter. Just accept the fact that there are still men who don’t see you as a goddess even if you’re the most beautiful woman in the country. And that includes your husband.” she said, laughing.

I balled my hands into a fist. “Let’s see who wins in the end. I won’t stop seducing that asshole until he becomes head over heels to me. And when that finally happens, he will take back everything that he said.”

“Alright. Looks like our queen can’t accept her defeat. Let’s just see who wins in the end. Maybe you’ll be the one to fall in love with Matthew, don’t you think?”

“Not even in my dreams, Haley!”

After filming, I decided to go to the mall to buy some clothes, and while I was on my way home; I saw a familiar kid walking on the streets holding vegetables.

Wait, that’s that kid Matthew always talks to!

I was just looking at her from my seat when a woman in her 40s suddenly arrived and slapped her. The poor child fell to the ground, together with the basket of vegetables she was holding. The woman kept on yelling at her, even though she was already crying. She even kicked her and all the people passing by didn’t even stop her.

“Stop the car,” I told my driver when I saw the woman already pulling the hair of the kid.

I stepped out of the car and confronted the old woman.

“Hey, old lady!” I shouted.

She stopped hitting the child and turned in my direction with confusion all over her face.

“And who are you?”

“Let go of that kid, if you don’t want me to sue you!”

She laughed sarcastically. “Sue me? Are you kidding? Who do you think are you, young lady?! Don’t stick your nose here if you don’t want me to hurt you, too!”

The woman was about to hit the girl again, but then I held her by the arm to stop her. I pushed her to the ground, then I held the hand of the girl. “You don’t know who you are talking to, old hag. If you don’t stop hurting kids, I’ll make sure you’re going to jail.”

“What—

“Let’s go.”

As soon as we reached our house, the maids were looking at the girl I brought with me.

“Miss, why did you bring me here?”

“Look, this is my house. And starting from now on, you will live here.”

Her eyes widened. “I-I will live here?!”

“Why? Don’t you want to live here? Come on, don’t try to pretend now. I know this is the very first time you have seen an enormous mansion like this.”

“But I don’t even know you. My aunt will surely get mad at me if I leave our house.”

“Oh, so you still want to go back there even if that hold hag keeps on hurting you? Alright, if you want to stay there, then go back there. You must be grateful I helped you.” I said as I rolled my eyes and continue walking upstairs to my room.

What the hell is wrong with that kid? I already saved her, and now she’s telling me she doesn’t want to live here with me. What an ungrateful child!

I just changed my clothes, then I went downstairs only for me to see Matthew and that kid playing with each other in the living room.

“Why are you still here? I thought you don’t want to stay here because your aunt will get mad?”

They all turned their gazes toward me. Matthew stood up and smiled at me. “Ellisse already told me about what happened. Thank you for saving her, Winter.”

“That old woman should be sued for hurting her. She was hitting here in front of so many people a while ago.”

“Is that true, Ellise?” Matthew asked the kid.

The kid then slowly nodded her head. “She hit me because it’s already afternoon and I still didn’t earn enough money for supper.”

“She’s a witch, then!” I growled.

“You will never go back to that place, again. You’re going to live here with us.” said Matthew.

“Wait, are you the owner of this house? Why are you deciding on whether or not someone can stay here?” I said with raised eyebrows. “That child just told me she doesn’t want to stay here a while ago. Maybe she doesn’t want to be with me. Well then, I don’t want to be with her, either.”

Matthew suddenly knelt down in front of the child and whispered something. After that, she came running to me. “M-Miss Winter, thank you so much for saving me a while ago. I apologize for acting so rude in front of you. But now I know that you are not a bad person. Can you let me stay here?”

I stared at her for a while. Then I heaved a sigh and spoke. “Fine, you can stay here. But you won’t live like a princess. You must work for you to be able to eat. You will help the maids in cleaning the house.”

“Yes, I will do everything that you want, Miss Winter.”

“Then good. Just make sure you won’t bother me, or every one of us here.”

She nodded her head again and gave me a smile. “Thank you,, Miss Winter!”
