My Belittled Husband Is A Billionaire

Belle’s POV

“What do you think of my dress? Does this suit me? Should I change to a different color?” I asked Themis while showing him my red off-shoulder dress that I would be wearing for the cruise ship dinner.

He scanned me from my head down to my feet before meeting my eyes again. “I think that’s enough. It suits you.”

I could feel my cheeks getting hotter just by hearing a compliment from him. “R-Really?”

“Shall we go now?”

“A-Alright.”

Themis guided me as we stepped inside the limousine. We never really get to be with each other more often, that is why I’m so glad to be able to be alone with him tonight.

“Good evening, Miss Belle and Mr. Matthew. This way, please…”

“Thanks.”

The staff guided us inside. There were lots of people inside and most of them were businessmen or famous celebrities. We would be doing our plan tonight, that is why Themis also asked his men to dress themselves up as visitors.

“When was the last time we’ve been to a party like this?” I asked Themis while we were on the deck of the ship, overlooking the beautiful view while everyone was busy inside.

“The last time was when we lost it all.”

That made me stop and regret what I just asked him. I forgot that the last time we’ve been to a party was when the incident happened. That night when we lost our parents.

I looked down. “I’m sorry.”

“Huh? Why are you apologizing?”

“Because I mentioned that.”

Themis shook his head. “It’s alright. You know, it’s alright if we try to remember what happened that night. For us to remember the reason why we are doing all of these things in the first place.”

I looked at him. “Is there something that’s stopping you from remembering what you came here for?”

He didn’t speak for a while. He had to take a deep breath first before speaking again.

“Many innocent people are getting involved because of this. People who don’t even have anything to do with what happened that night are getting hurt because of this vengeance.”

“But many innocent people were also killed during that night. Don’t they deserve to attain justice for what happened to them? Themis, you should always remember that you’re not just doing this for yourself, but also for the people who lost their lives, dignity, and loved ones. There is no turning back now. I know you don’t want to hurt other people, but you are finding justice for your family and other people. You got hurt, too.”

Winter’s POV

“Woah, who is this beautiful woman in front of me right now?” Ian teasingly asked me as soon as I stepped out of the dressing room.

I turned around, showing off my black off-shoulder dress to him. “Do I look pretty now?”

“Ah, you look so sexy in that black dress! Are you a rebel?”

“Really?”

“That’s enough compliment now. Why don’t you even give them back to me? Don’t you think I’m too handsome in this black suit?”

I eyed him from his head down to his feet before nodding my head. “Alright, you’re handsome in that black suit, too. Are you happy now?”

His widened. All of a sudden, he walked towards me and gave me a headlock. “You’re too cruel, huh?”

“H-Hey! What the hell are you doing?! Stop it already! You’re ruining my hair!”

“Just tell me I’m handsome first! Tell me I’m the most handsome man that you’ll ever see!”

“What?! No way! Ian! Do you really want to die?! Let go of me or I’ll kill you!”

But the asshole didn’t let go of me. “Say it first!”

“Fine! You are the most handsome man I have ever seen! Damn it!”

“That’s my girl!”

As soon as he let go of me, I smacked his head so hard. “You bastard!”

“Ouch!”

We were just glaring at each other, then later on we just laughed because of each other’s faces. I never really expected that Ian and I would be this close. I still remember those times when we both hate each other so much. Those times when even if I just see his face, I already feel like throwing up. Who would have thought that I’ll find a good friend in this jerk?

‘Oh my God, isn’t he Ian?’

‘He is! And that woman, is that Winter Wesley?’

‘That’s her! They’re still together?’

‘But I thought she’s already married?’

‘Girl, that was fake news!’

We could hear people mumbling while looking at us when we finally arrived on the cruise ship.

“I told you, the issue got cleared up already. They’re just thinking that all of that was merely fake news.”

“And all thanks to you.” I smiled at him.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Thank you isn’t enough. You have to treat me something.”

I glared at him. “Big-eater.”

“Well, not as big-eater as you.”

“Shut up, Ian.”

We just talked and talked, well, more like teased each other. Ian kept on saying things that makes me want to kill him.

“Oh, if it isn’t the famous actor in the country together with the former most famous celebrity Winter Wesley!” an old man suddenly approached us.

“Mr. Coleman,” Ian said as he nodded his head.

The old man smiled at me, but I just ignored him.

“I’m so glad you made it here, together with your beautiful date.”

“Of course, we’ll go here.”

I refused to talk to them or hear their conversation, so I just walked away to see the view of the ocean as the ship was about to go on board.

The real reason why I went here with Ian is that I want to dress up and unwind. Matthew keeps on leaving from home these past few days and I am starting to be suspicious about his activities. I really think he’s seeing some other woman.

If he loves another woman, then why would he want to kiss me that night? That jerk.
