My Belittled Husband Is A Billionaire

Winter’s POV

“So, what happened last night?” Haley asked me teasingly while we were inside my dressing room, preparing for the conference that we are going to have with the agency about the new project that I want to do.

I glared at her. “I killed him. Are you happy now?”

“What?! Wait, did you really do that?!”

I just rolled my eyes.

I just hate every single thing about that stupid man. Knowing that he’s living under the same roof with me pissess me so much. I badly want to kick him out of our family immediately. And now, he’s going to be appointed as the new president of our company. For sure, he is now celebrating.

“These are the projects that are being offered to you, Winter. Have you checked them already?”

“I didn’t. I was too tired to check them. Just tell me the roles I will be playing and I’ll decide.”

They all heaved a sigh. They can’t do anything, anyway. I am their biggest celebrity and half of the profit they earn comes from me.

“As for the drama with 20 episodes, the role they offered is a rich woman who married a poor man-

“I don’t like that. Next.”

“But the producer who gave the offer was the same producer-

“I said next.”

They all looked at each other before proceeding to the next offer. In the end, I chose the drama where I would be playing the role of a mermaid, then I will meet a man and fall in love with him.

“You are going to play the role of a mermaid. That means you have to attend some swimming lessons so they could teach you the mermaid swim.” Haley said to me while we were having lunch.

“I know that.”

“By the way, do you already know who’s going to be Miss Winter’s leading man?” asked Olivia.

“If I am not mistaken, I think the agency is still choosing between Lucas Denmark and Ian Lewis. They are both handsome, but they are still considering their acting skills.”

“Ian Lewis?! Isn’t he the actor who has a huge crush on Miss Winter?”

“He is. And he is handsome too. His fans even call him a handsome prince because of how handsome he is. I even heard he is such a good actor, although he tends to goof around too. He is none other than the one and only son of Lewis group of companies.”

“Oh, that! Some people also said that he is not a real son of Denver Louis. Many people are having different theories, though.”

When I couldn’t take it anymore, I glared at the two of them. “Can you just stop gossiping about someone in front of me? I want to have my lunch peacefully.”

Themis’ POV

“This will be your office from now on. If you ever need something, just call me or your secretary.” Mr. Wesley said as he guided me to my office.

“Thank you for personally touring me around your company, Mr. Wesley.”

“It’s an honor.”

I just smiled at him and after telling me the things that I need to know, he left. I then sat on the swivel chair while checking the papers on the table. I was the one who served as the CEO of our company back home, so I wouldn’t find it hard to do the job of a president.

“Good morning, sir. My name is Jack, and I am your new secretary as assigned by CEO Wesley. You can call me every time you need something and I will be here in no time.” A man who I think is just about my age introduced himself to me enthusiastically.

I stood up and reached for his hand. “Nice meeting you, Jack. My name’s Matthew.”

“S-Sir Matthew.” he said shyly while glancing at me.

He was obviously curious about the eyepatch that I was wearing, so I had to speak. “I got involved in an accident before and my right eyes got badly hurt. Since then, I had to wear this eyepatch to cover the scar that it caused.”

“O-Oh. T-Thank you so much for telling me your story, sir.”

“I hope we can work well together, Jack.”

“I will do my best, sir.”

“By the way, do I have any schedule for today?”

He started reading through his tablet before looking at me again. “You don’t have any scheduled appointments, sir, aside from your meeting with the board of directors to introduce yourself to them.”

“I see. What time will that be?”

“Your meeting with the board of directors will be at 1 pm, sir.”

“Alright, I’ll be there at exactly 1 pm. I think I just have to fix some few things here for a while.”

Jack nodded his head, then left.

Winter’s POV

“Winter, I want you to meet Ian Lewis. Ian Lewis, this is Winter Wesley. The two of you will be playing the lead roles in the drama, My Pretty Mermaid.” said the producer.

I just glanced at Ian then I averted my gaze again while drinking my iced coffee. “Umm, okay.”

“Is that how you really greet your leading man?”

“Well, yeah. Any problem with that?” I said, without looking at him.

He laughed sarcastically. “Your management must spoil you too much. Because you’re the highest paid celebrity in the country, you’re already treating other people like they owe you something.”

That made me glare at him. “What did you say?”

“Er… Winter and Ian, please don’t fight here. You are going to work with each other for a few months, so please get along well.”

I rolled my eyes and stood up. “Whatever. I will never o to any shooting if that moron doesn’t behave well.”

“W-What did you just call me?!”

“E-Enough now. Okay, let’s just meet again tomorrow for the photoshoot. You may all leave now.”

***

“Winter, you shouldn’t have treated Ian like that. You know he can quit playing the role of your leading man any time he wants to.” Haley started reprimanding me as soon as we stepped inside my dressing room.

I sat on the couch and folded my arms as I looked at her. “He should be the one watching his words if he still wants me to continue being his leading lady. It will be their loss, not mine.”

“It will be their loss, and ours. You know, you may not be aware, but Ian is the most famous actor in the country right now. So, if ever you’re thinking about someone to have a dating rumor for publicity, it should be him.”

“Oh, Winter.”

After arguing, I decided to leave the management company building and was about to step inside my car when someone suddenly blocked my way. I looked up and immediately saw the moron I was talking to a while ago.

“What do you want from me?” I asked him.

“Can we have some coffee for a while?”

I raised an eyebrow at him. “I don’t have any time to waste on you. Just get off my face now.”

“You have no choice but to go with me, Winter. Let’s go now,” he said then he grabbed me by the hand and dragged me with him.

“W-What do you think are you doing?! Let go of me now!”

He didn’t stop dragging me with him, so I kicked his legs, then his butt, making him yell out of pain. He glared at me. “What the hell?! Who do you think you are to kick me like that?!”

“And who the hell do you think you are to drag me like that?! Do you even know I can sue you anytime?!”

“And my family can bail me out any time, too.”

“Ian. Stop bugging me now if you still want to continue the drama. You know it will never be my loss, it’s yours. So if I were you, I would behave well and try my best to match the talent of my leading lady.”

After that, I turned around and walked toward my car.

“You should be the one watching your every move, Winter. You know I can tell the world about your greatest secrets.”

My eyes widened because of what he had just said. I looked at him again with my heart beating so fast. “W-What are you talking about?”

“You never really changed, Winter. You’re still as spoiled as before. But whenever I talk about that secret, you get terrified too fast.” he said with a smirk on his face.

“Don’t you ever dare tell-

“Oh, so you’re scared now? The highest-paid actress in the country gets scared over some petty things—

“Shut up! Just don’t you dare open your mouth and tell people about that or you’re dead.”

“Oh, I’m scared,” he said sarcastically.

After talking to that bastard, I stepped inside my care and went home to take some rest.

Ian Lewis was one of my classmates back when I was in middle school. I really used to hate him ever since he even confessed to me during our graduation, but I rejected him in front of so many people. He kept a grudge against me ever since that day. I just heard that he became an actor too, a few years ago.

And one time, he figured out my greatest secret that no one knows.

And now, he’s using that against me.

Just great.

If someone ever finds out about that, that would be the end of my career. That’s a secret that even my family doesn’t know about. A secret that I have to keep forever.
