My Belittled Husband Is A Billionaire

Themis’ POV

Just like what Mr. Wesley told me the last time we talked to each other, Winter really assigned a private investigator to watch my every action. Good thing the investigator introduced himself to me since his boss is also Mr. Wesley. He said he just did what Winter told him to do so she wouldn’t get mad.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Master Themis, based on the information that I have gathered, the CEO of Hansel Corporation happened to be near the venue of the party twenty years ago. He and his family have been so quiet about the issue, too. As if they don’t want to disclose information about what happened and what they did there. Also, these are the other person of interest.” one of my trusted men and private investigator, James, said to me as he placed a pile of papers including different profiles of possible people that has something to do with the killings that happened twenty years ago.

“I understand. Thank you, James. I will take a look at those papers later when I’m done with my work. Also, how’s Timothy? How’s our company and the people in our house?”

“They are doing fine, Master. Young master Timothy is taking good care of everything, especially the company. By the way, sir, I heard that Belle already came back.”

Just by hearing about that name, my heart started beating so fast. I tried not to seem so excited about what James just told me by looking through the papers he just handed me. “I-I see.”

“Is there anything you want me to do, sir?”

“No, nothing for now. I will just contact you again if I ever need something.”

James nodded his head as he stood up. “Very well, sir.”

“Alright, you may go now. Also, tell me if something ever happens in the mansion.”

“Yes, sir.” he bowed again before leaving the office.

I leaned on my swivel chair and continue checking the papers that James gave me when I suddenly remembered the things he mentioned to me a while ago.

Belle is one of our visitors’ daughters who survived during the incident twenty years ago. We just found her crying outside the venue when Tim and I were running. That is why we decided to bring her with us since both of her parents already died. We treated her as our sister since then. But then when she grew up, she wanted to study abroad to be a doctor so we had to let her go.

And now she’s back again, I can’t wait to see her. Although I still can’t. Not until everything’s already alright.

Winter’s POV

“Winter, why do you even have to hire a private investigator to watch over your husband? Don’t you trust him?” Haley asked me while we were on the set.

I looked at her. “And why do you think should I trust an asshole like him who came out of the blue?”

“But he looks like a good man. I don’t think hiring a private investigator is necessary.”

“Are you the one who married him? You don’t know what kind of asshole that moron is.”

She just nodded her head in the end. “Fine, fine. Hire an investigator all you want. Just don’t forget about your job and your image while investigating that man. You know, one wrong move, and your fans would notice if there is something fishy.”

“I know that already. You no longer have to remind me every single time.”

After a few hours. we were finally done with filming and I already decided to go home straight since I have something I want to do.

“Is Matthew already here?” I asked my maids as soon as I stepped inside the mansion.

“Good.”

Without changing my clothes, I went upstairs straight to Matthew’s room. I looked through his closet first, but then I didn’t find anything important. Next, I rummaged through his drawers and again, I didn’t find anything but papers and books. There were lots of books inside his room. What a nerd.

Then my eyes darted to the box under his bed.

I stooped down and was about to open that box, when all of a sudden, the door opened.

“W-Winter?” Matthew got surprised upon seeing me.

I immediately stood up and faced him. “Y-You’re already here. I-I thought you’ll go home late today.”

“Huh? No, I only had a few meetings today. That is why I am much earlier today. By the way, are you finding something? What brought you here?” he asked innocently.

“I-I’m just looking for my… uh… lipstick! That’s right! I’m looking for my lipstick!”

He nodded his head and looked around. “I see. But I don’t think that would be here. I-I mean, I don’t use lipstick.”

I raised an eyebrow at him. “And what do you mean by that? Are you trying to say that I am here inside your room because I’m planning to steal something from you?”

“I-It’s not like that, Winter…”

“Whatever! If you don’t want me to come here, then lock your door! Anyway, this isn’t even your house so what’s your right to lock this room?” I rolled my eyes and pushed him away from the door. “What a pain in the ass!”

After that, I already went to my room.

Damn it. He caught me rummaging in his room! He’s probably thinking now that I want to steal something from here.

Why didn’t the maids tell me about his arrival, anyway?!
