My Belittled Husband Is A Billionaire

Winter’s POV

“This will be our house now?” Matthew asked while roaming his eyes around the mansion that grandpa gave us as a gift for our wedding.

I rolled my eyes and looked at him. “What else do you think? Why? This is the very first time you’ve seen such an enormous house like this, right?”

“You’re right. And I just also think that it might be a little exaggerated for the two of us to live in a mansion like this.”

“Well, sorry because we were not born poor like you. If you don’t want to live here, then you’re free to leave anytime. That would even make me happy.” I said, then I finally walked upstairs straight to my room.

Why does he keep on acting as if it does not thrill him about living in a mansion? For sure, he hasn’t even seen such a huge house like this. And for sure, he is so excited to finally steal anything in here.

But I won’t let him do that. If he thinks he can use his tricks on me, then he is wrong. I will surely reveal his real identity to my grandpa and when that time finally comes, he will have no choice but to divorce me.

“Cheers to us?” the idiot said while raising his glass of wine.

“Before you forget, I don’t like you and I did not agree to this marriage. I will give a few rules you should follow if you want to stay here.”

He blinked a few times. “Rules? What rules?”

I put my cutlery down and wiped my mouth using a napkin before looking at him again. “First of all, you can never ever tell anyone that I am your wife. If we ever see each other in other places, you have to pretend you don’t know me.”

“Copy. I won’t tell anyone that we’re married unless it is needed.”

“No. You will never ever tell anyone about our marriage or else you’re dead.”

“Second. You are not allowed to touch, stare, and talk to me unless it is urgent and it has something to do with me or the family.”

His eyes widened. “I can’t talk to you even though we’re just living under the same roof?”

“Uh-huh. And third, you can never ever comment on everything that I do.”

“I understand.”

I just nodded my head and stood up. “That’s all I wanted to tell you.”

“Goodnight, Winter!”

I didn’t mind him and just went back to my room.

Themis’ POV

After taking a bath, I lay down on my bed and stared at the ceiling. This mansion actually belongs to our family. Mr. Wesley just volunteered to take care of it when our parents died. And now, I asked him if we could just leave here and he immediately said yes.

This is actually the mansion where we usually stay before whenever our parents visit our other properties and whenever we want to have a vacation.

It’s been so long since I last saw it and thanks to Mr. Wesley it’s still the same as before. Just staring at the walls and looking at the antique pieces of furniture makes me feel nostalgic about what we used to do here back when we were kids.

Speaking of Tim, I wonder how are they doing there right now. For sure, if he ever finds out that I married someone, he will be so happy. He had been asking me to find a girlfriend before, but I always change the topic. He knows having a romantic relationship with someone never crossed my mind. I can never have a peaceful life knowing our parents haven’t gotten the justice they deserve.

All of a sudden, my phone started ringing.

“Hello?”

“Young master Themis-I mean Matthew. This is Winter’s grandpa.”

I sat up in my bed. “Oh, Mr. Wesley. Do you need anything from me?”

“You can just call me grandpa err… I mean, if you’re comfortable with that.”

“Oh, of course. Grandpa.”

“That’s better. By the way, I just called to ask you about your first night as a newlywed couple. I mean, did Winter say anything to you? Or did you–

“No. Nothing inappropriate happened. Winter just gave three rules.”

“Three rules?”

“Three rules for me to be able to stay in this mansion. She said if I don’t follow those rules, I’m dead.”

I heard him laugh before speaking again. “Oh, I apologize for all the things that she told you. That girl usually says silly things, so you need to get used to her.”

“No, it’s actually fine with me. The rules that she said seem reasonable, anyway. She’s a celebrity, so it’s just natural for her to be that strict with people around her.”

“I see. By the way, are you ready for tomorrow? I will finally introduce you as the new president of our company.”

“It somehow makes me nervous, but I think I’m ready. Don’t worry, I will do my best to maintain the reputation of your company.”

“I already know that, Themis. I mean Matthew. I’m sorry I was used to calling you by your real name.”

“It’s alright. Just don’t call me by my real name when we’re surrounded by so many people.” I said while laughing.

He laughed too. We just talked about the other things that I plan to do, then he already hung up the phone. I just lay down on my bed again and tried to sleep, but I still couldn’t.

I know I still have a long way to go before I succeed with my plan, but I will do everything in order to succeed. To keep my promise to our family. Also, I know it wouldn’t be easy for me to be with Winter Wesley, but I have to live with her until I succeed. I have to maintain the relationship we’re having right now. I need her to keep hating me. That’s the only way I can succeed in this plan without hurting anyone.
