My Belittled Husband Is A Billionaire

Themis’ POV

“Where’s Winter?!” I asked her manager as soon as I reached the building where she came from.

She obviously got surprised upon seeing me and just pointed at the car that had just left. “I-Ian already took her. That car is where she’s in!”

“Thanks.”

After that, I went back to my car and followed the car that she told me. It even stopped the car for a moment

but proceeds after a while. When I realized that they were actually going home, I drove past them and was able to reach the mansion before they do.

The man stepped out and open the car door for Winter whose clothes had been filled with dirt. The man’s coat also has some smudge of dirt on it. I saw what happened on the television, that is why I hurried myself to find Winter.

As soon as Winter stepped inside the mansion, I walked toward her.

“Winter, are you alright?”

Slowly, she raised her head and met my gaze. I saw her eyes filled with tears. “Matthew…”

I heaved a deep sigh. I held her by the arm and pulled her towards me.

“It’s alright…” I whispered as I pat her back.

That’s when she started sobbing. Later on, her sobs became louder and I could feel my shirt getting wet from her tears. I beckoned the maids not to go there for a while since for sure she doesn’t want them to see her crying. I just let her cry on my shoulders for as long as she wants until she finally stopped and moved away from me. She wiped the tears from her eyes and looked around.

“Where’s Elisse?”

“She’s already inside her room, sleeping.”

“O-Oh, is that so? Okay.”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“You should go to your room now and take some rest too.”

She nodded her head and so I guided her upstairs to her room. I only left her when she already lay down on her bed to sleep. I even hear her crying the moment I closed the door of her room.

“How’s Winter?” Mr. Wesley asked me.

“She’s already sleeping. She has been crying the moment she got in here.”

I heard him sigh over the phone. “Thank you for taking good care of her. I know she’s hurting right now, and that is why for sure she’ll need someone to be there for her. My poor grandchild.”

“Don’t worry about anything, Mr. Wesley. I will be the one to take care of her.”

“Thank you so much, Matthew.”

After a while, he already hangs up the phone.

“Good morning, Miss Winter!”

Winter got awakened by Elisse’s voice. She opened her eyes and looked at us. Just by looking at those puffy eyes of hers, I already know she cried all night. She gave Elisee a simple smile as she sat up on the bed.

“Elisse… What are you doing here?”

“We brought you breakfast in bed, Miss Winter! Both brother and I were the ones who prepared all of that for you!”

“Really? Well then thank you so much.”

I left the two of them inside Winter’s room as they began eating. I changed my clothes and prepared to go to talk to my men and ask them to investigate the scandals of Winter spreading online. I would find the person behind those photos and videos and also those people who are leaking false pieces of information about her.

“Elisse, can you bring this to the kitchen?” I asked her.

She quickly nodded her head and took the tray together with the plates as she left.

I looked at Winter who was still sitting on her bed. “You don’t have to push yourself if you still don’t feel like doing things yet. You should take some rest for now.”

“You’re going to work now?”

“Yes, but I’ll go back immediately.”

She nodded her head. ” I see. By the way, Matthew, thank you.”

“Huh?”

“Thank you for making me feel better. Don’t worry, this will just take a while. Soon enough I would be able to move on from it. This already happened before, so I should be used to it now, right?”

I could her voice trembling as if she was about to cry anytime, so I sat down on the bed and just listened to her.

“When I was in high school, I had my first best friend. But then in the end she began hating me because her boyfriend broke up with her because of me. She got mad at me and soon enough she told all the students on our campus that I was a boyfriend stealer. Starting that day, all the people around me already saw me as a flirt. It felt as if the world got so mad at me and I didn’t even have someone to run into. I really thought I would be able to run away from that, I never expected that it will happen again. The world turned its back from me again. I should be used to it, but I don’t know why the pain still feels exactly the same…”

All of a sudden, she burst into tears again.

She never used to cry in front of people, but seeing her like this pierces my heart. I thought she is a brave woman and someone who doesn’t even know how to cry when I first met her.

I balled my hands into a fist as I spoke. “We will find the people behind that scandal and all the false information about you. We will prove to them that you’re not like the person they think you are.”

“Matthew…”

“But for now, you need to take some rest. And when everything’s already alright with you and you have moved on enough, that’s when you’ll also start to move forward. When there is a misunderstanding, you need to stand up and clear things out for people to realize the truth. You need to be strong for yourself, and for the people who believe in you.”
