My Belittled Husband Is A Billionaire

Themis’ POV

I woke up with my head hurting so much. I remember drinking a lot last night because Winter asked me to. I had no choice, because even the surrounding people were forcing me to drink it. I was afraid Winter would cause a commotion if I didn’t listen to her.

Drinking too much liquor isn’t really good for me. I remember when Tim made me drink a bottle of whiskey; he told me how much I wanted to kiss him that night, thinking he was Belle. I was so embarrassed the next day. Ever since that, I never went to a bar again. I just drink in my room whenever I miss our parents, or Belle.

When I was about to get up, I felt a body beside me. As I turned my head to the left, I saw Winter sleeping beside me with her arm on my chest. She was sleeping so deeply that she didn’t wake up when I moved a bit.

What is she–right. We share the same room. I almost forgot. That was actually a part of my plan. I was planning to tease her even more, and I already told her grandfather about that. Well, he was actually the one who told me to do that in the first place.

Slowly, Winter opened her eyes. She didn’t get surprised upon seeing me.

“Good morning, Winter,” I said while smiling at her.

She sat up and looked at me. “Good morning, Matthew.”

“Do you want us to go have breakfast?”

“Sure, but I think I’ll take a bath first.” She said as she tied her hair up and stood up.

“Alright.”

It really surprises me that she’s so calm even when she woke up so near to me. She usually freaks out when this happens.

After taking a bath, we decided to go out and have breakfast.

“Did you have a good sleep last night?” Winter suddenly asked me.

“Huh? Yeah. I had a good sleep last night. How about you?”

She smiled. “Of course. But I’m also tired. And you are the reason.”

“I-I’m the reason?”

“Uh-huh. You were so wild last night. You won’t let me rest even when I told you I was tired already.”

I almost choked on my salad. Good thing I was able to drink water immediately. “W-What do you mean?”

“Oh, you don’t remember it?”

“Remember what?”

“Matthew, you are making me sad. After what happened between the two of us, you’ll just tell me you can’t remember anything?”

I shook my head. “I’m so sorry, Winter. I don’t really understand what you’re trying to say.”

“Nevermind. Just forget about it.”

“Winter, did something really happen between the two of us?”

She then stood up. “I’ll just have some fresh air somewhere.”

“Winter—

“Please, don’t follow me.”

I just let her leave. I stayed sitting there, trying to remember what happened last night between the two of us.

I remember going to a bar and getting drunk, but I don’t remember what happened after that.

Maybe just like what I always do whenever I get drunk, maybe I kissed Winter too? And since she was also drunk, she couldn’t stop me and so something really happened.

But we weren’t naked when I woke up this morning, so that’s impossible. But if that’s right…

Damn it.

That’s the last thing I want to happen. I told myself I wouldn’t let Winter get attached to me, but look at what I just did.

Winter didn’t really go back not until it was already afternoon. I also canceled my meeting with the daughter of my next suspect just to talk to her.

“You’re finally here,” I said as soon as she stepped inside our room.

“Are we finally going home tomorrow?”

“No, we’re not. We can only go home the day after tomorrow. By the way, can we talk?”

She looked at me. “Aren’t we talking already?”

“Can you sit in that chair, then we’ll talk properly?”

Winter heaved a deep sigh before following what I said. She sat on the chair across from mine and faced me.

“What do you want to talk about?” she asked me.

“Look, Winter. I want to apologize to you. I don’t really remember what happened last night between the two of us. Not even a single thing after I got drunk. I know you got hurt because of how I responded when you told me about what happened. That is why I am apologizing right now. But trust me, I didn’t intend to do it. Not even in my mind.”

She suddenly started laughing sarcastically. “And what do you mean by that? You never fantasized about me? I am not your type. Is that what you’re trying to say?”

“T-That’s not what I mean. What I’m trying to say is that-

“And do you think I fantasize about you? You’re not even my type! You’re not even close to my ideal man!”

“Winter.”

“Fine. Nothing happened between the two of us. As if I’d allow you to take advantage of me. Hey, you overconfident one-eyed man, this is what you should always remember. I will never ever fall in love with you. Not even in my dreams. If there is someone who’s going to fall here, it’s you.” She hissed, then walked out of the room.

I was too stunned to speak. I didn’t know she got so mad about what I told her. I didn’t mean toContent bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

But I admit, it’s such a relief to know nothing happened between the two of us last night. I don’t want to do something that would interrupt me from my plan.

After that, Winter didn’t go back to our room. She probably used the other one, and it’s completely fine. At least I know she still hates me. And she won’t do some weird things again to seduce me in order for her to find out about my real identity. And by that, I won’t have to tease her either.
