CHAPTER 5: THE JERK
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Winter’s POV
“Miss, excuse me? Miss?”
I opened my eyes and saw a man that has an eye patch on his right eye while looking at me. He was wearing a plain black shirt, faded jeans, and black cap. I roamed my eyes around the place and realized I was in a hospital. I immediately got up.
“W-Why am I here? What happened? Who are you?!”
“I-I’m Matthew. You accidentally hit my car a while ago. You lost your consciousness so I had to bring you here. But don’t worry, you just had a small cut on the side of your lips and a bump on your head but the nurse already cleaned it. And, I already paid the bill.”
My brows furrowed. “Cut and bump on my forehead?! No!”
I immediately reached for a hand mirror to look at my face and I saw a small bump on my forehead.
“No! I just went to my dermatologist yesterday! What happened to my beautiful face?!”
“D-Don’t worry, I think it will heal in about two to three days. And, it’s just a small bump anyway.”
I glared at him. “A small bump?! Do you even know how important my appearance is?! It’s more important than your life!”
“E-Excuse me?”
“What if my fans see this?! They’ll surely think I’m so ugly!”
“Wait, why do you sound like you’re blaming me for what happened? You are the one who wasn’t watching where your car was going." He said, sounding so irritated.
I widened my eyes at him. “My fault?! Why didn’t you just avoid my car then?!”
“You know what? I have never encountered a woman like you before. I mean, someone like you who acts so ungrateful. You must thank me for bringing you here and even paying for your bills.”
“Hey, you one-eyed man!”
“W-What did you just call---
“Do you even know who I am?! I’m Winter Wesley!”
He looked at me, confusingly. “O…kay. I am so sorry, but I have to go now, Winter Wesley. I still have some important things to do.”
“W-What? H-Hey!!”
But the jerk didn’t bother looking at me again. He just continues running away until I could no longer see him.
“That jerk! I will surely pop his eyes out when I see him again!” I yelled.
After a few minutes, the doctor arrived and told me I could already go home. I called Olivia to fetch me before some fans could even see me at the hospital.
***
“M-Miss Winter, what happened?” Olivia asked worriedly as soon as we both arrived at my house.I took my glasses off and turned to her. “A jerk hit my car. I lost my consciousness and when I woke up, I was already at the hospital.”
“Oh my God, Miss Winter. I’m so glad you didn’t get hurt.”
I glared at her. “Who didn’t get hurt?! Are you blind?! Can’t you see the bump on my head?! Come on, bring me a cold compress!”
“Y-Yes, Miss Winter!”
I lay down on my bed as Olivia placed the cold compress on the bump on my head.
“M-Miss Winter, can I go home now?” she suddenly asked.
“Yeah, you may leave now.”
“Thank you, Miss Winter!”
As soon as Olivia left, my house went silent again. I reached for my phone above the side table and checked my I*******m account. There were so many notifications of my fans’ comments about the photo I posted this morning which already accumulated twenty million likes and twenty-one million comments.
‘Oh my God, you really are a Goddess!’
‘I love you so much, Queen Winter!’
‘You are the best!’
‘I wish I’m as beautiful as you!’
A smile appeared on my face as I was reading the comments of my fans. I put my phone back to the side table and stared at the ceiling of my room.
‘If only Winter is as smart and capable as her younger sister, then maybe she will have a better job than being a clown.’
They never really loved me. Mom and dad.
Even when we were just kids, they never treated me like their daughter. It was always Summer. Summer is the smartest, the best, Summer who will do nothing but our parents would still be proud of her. While me? No matter what I do will always be a failure to them. Winter can’t do anything. Winter is dumb. Winter is who they will never be proud of.
But it’s fine.
Because I still have fans who love me no matter what I do. They are the people who will appreciate everything about me. That is why I always do my best when I’m acting. Because that is the only world where I am accepted. Because in the real world, in the world of my family, I will always be the side character and will never be the main.

Winter’s POV“Congratulations, Winter and Wilson you did a great job!” the director cooed as soon as the last take was done. “The drama remained the highest viewed since the very first airing of it!” Anne, the assistant director added.Everyone started clapping as they handed Wilson and I a bouquet of flowers as a congratulatory present. Wilson and I bowed our heads to give respect to them. “Thank you so much, Director Ricky. It was so nice working with you.”“Oh, Winter. It was really nice working with you, too. I hope I can work with the two of you again.”“Of course.”After celebrating with the drama staff for the success of the drama, Olivia and I went straight to my van. “Ah, it was so tiring.”“By the way, Winter. You have new offers of five dramas. Maybe you can look through each script when you get home and tell me which drama will you choose.” Haley said to me.I heaved a sigh. “I just finished a drama and here comes another drama again.”“Of course, you are the highest pa

Winter’s POVMy eyes immediately widened as soon as grandpa told me I was going to marry the stupid man in front of me. “W-What did you say? M-Marry this man? Are you even serious right now, grandpa?”“Matthew is a decent man. I know you don’t know him yet, but I know the family where he came from. They are good people, and aside from that, Matthew is a smart man who can run our company in due time. He will take care of you, trust me.”I stood up. “Grandpa, I don’t care if this man came from a good family. Can’t you even see him? He looks so cheap. I don’t even think he owns the car that he used to hit me.”“I did not hit you. And about the car, that wasn’t actually mine. I just borrowed it from a friend.”“See? He can’t even buy a car! How can you say that he can run our company? What if he just robs us and then disappears when we’re already bankrupt?”The man stood up and looked at me. “I may not be born rich, but I can assure you that I was raised by a good family. I don’t rob peo
My Belittled Husband is a Billionaire CHAPTER 8: NO CHOICE
Winter’s POV“What?! Your grandfather is asking you to marry a stranger?!”“And he is not just a stranger, he is a penniless man! Why would I even marry a man who wouldn’t be able to provide me the things that I want?!”Haley nodded her head. “You are right. That man might be planning something, and that is why he wants to marry you. Perhaps he even knows you are a popular superstar.”“Exactly. And who wouldn’t even know me? There are so many people nowadays who do that kind of scheme. They’ll ask you to marry them, then once he finally gets all of your money, he will leave you crying and hide forever.” Olivia added. “There is no way I’m going to marry that man!”“But what if your grandpa insists you do so?”I shook my head. “No way! Even if he tells me he’ll disown me as his granddaughter!”***“You’re going to marry Matthew, or I will disown you as my granddaughter?” My eyes immediately widened when grandpa told me that. He really visited me at my house just to ask me about the ma

Winter’s POV“What?! Winter is going to marry that man?!” mommy said while we were having dinner together with the asshole that grandpa wants me to marry. “I am so sorry I wasn’t able to introduce myself Immediately. My name’s Matthew Hughes.”I rolled my eyes. Acting like a good guy in front of everyone, huh?I don’t even know how he got the trust of my grandpa.“What’s your job?” dad asked him.“I-I am currently trying to find a job. I just quit my job as an office clerk last month, so---“An office clerk?” mom joined in again.The man nodded his head. “Yes, Ma’am.”“I think that’s a good job. At least you have experience when it comes to clerical work which has something to do with running our company.” Summer commented with a smile on her face.Why doesn’t she just marry that bastard instead?“There’s no way a mere office clerk like him can run our company. Dad, what are you even thinking? Winter should at least marry someone who is rich and capable enough since she herself cann

Winter’s POV“Winter, why are you frowning like that? It’s your wedding day today, you need to be the happiest woman in the world. I know you've been dreaming of getting married to someone.” Summer asked me.The day has finally come. The day that I hate the most. I never really imagined this would come. I thought grandpa will always be there for me, but he forced me to marry someone I don't even know.I glared at her. “Really? You’re asking me that?”“Why? I think your groom looks like a good man. I think he will take care of you. That's what's important, right? To have someone to take care of you and understand you for the rest of your life.”“I don’t need someone to take care of me.” I cut her off.This woman really has the habit of playing the main character. She always acts as if she is always saying the right thing when she doesn't even know anything.“Winter---“Can you just stop acting as if you’re sympathizing with me? For sure, you’re celebrating now because you won’t be able
My Belittled Husband is a Billionaire CHAPTER 11: THE RULES
Winter's POV"This will be our house now?" Matthew asked while roaming his eyes around the mansion that grandpa gave us as a gift for our wedding.I rolled my eyes and looked at him. "What else do you think? Why? This is the very first time you've seen such an enormous house like this, right?""You're right. And I just also think that it might be a little exaggerated for the two of us to live in a mansion like this.""Well, sorry because we were not born poor like you. If you don't want to live here, then you're free to leave anytime. That would even make me happy." I said, then I finally walked upstairs straight to my room.Why does he keep on acting as if it does not thrill him about living in a mansion? For sure, he hasn't even seen such a huge house like this. And for sure, he is so excited to finally steal anything in here.But I won't let him do that. If he thinks he can use his tricks on me, then he is wrong. I will surely reveal his real identity to my grandpa and when that ti

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 rol

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 leav

Winter's POV "Pumpkin! You won't believe who I just met this morning!" I excitedly said as soon as I entered our house and saw Matthew preparing our dinner. He turned around and kissed me on the cheek before speaking. "Who is it?" "It's Winston. My first boyfriend." His brows furrowed. "Y-Your first boyfriend?" "Uh-huh. He is my very first investor. Oh gosh, I didn't expect it to be him. He didn't change, actually. He is still as handsome as ever." "I see. So, you think he is more handsome than me?" he said as he continued cooking. I giggled as I hugged his back. "So, are you getting jealous now because he is my first love?" "Of course, not. I just hate the way you smile while talking about some other man being handsome." "Oh, Matthew. You still get jealous when you already had me first." I whispered seductively in his ear which made him immediately turn around and widen his eyes at me. "Winter! Elisse might hear you!" I cupped both of his cheeks as I chuckle

Winter's POV "So, where's your girlfriend and why are you here?" I asked Ian as soon as he stepped into my office. He sat down on the couch from across my table and looked at me. "She's at work." "Then why don't you bother her instead?" "I just went here because your boutique is much closer to my restaurant. And also..." I looked at him. "And also?" He looked so serious as he looked directly at me. "I've heard about it." "A-About what?" "About your family." When I realized what he was talking about, I averted my gaze from him. "Well, you heard it right. I'm not really a part of their family. And now, I don't even know who my real parents are." "That must be tough for you." "It is. But then I realized that there is no reason for me to agonize about it. They never treated me as a part of their family, anyway. At least I no longer have to wonder why they can never appreciate the things that I do." "Winter..." "Anyway, I still have a meeting with a p
My Belittled Husband is a Billionaire CHAPTER 120: HOW TO START AGAIN
Winter’s POVI woke up with Matthew still sleeping beside me. I couldn’t help but smile while looking at him. Something happened between the two of us last night and I don’t regret it. Although I still can’t forget about what I just found out about my family, Matthew made me feel better. “Winter…” he looked at me worriedly as soon as he opened his eyes. I gave him a smile. “Good morning, Matthew.”“Are you alright now?” “I feel better now.”He heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good to hear then.”“You’re such a naughty pumpkin.”“Huh?”“I didn’t know you’re so good at it.” I teased him. That immediately made him blush. “D…Do you want to have breakfast already? I’ll prepare it now.”I laughed as I hugged him. “Look at you getting embarrassed so easily. You really are so cute.”“Winter.”“I finally made up my mind.”“Huh?”I took a deep breathe before speaking again. “Let’s go somewhere far from everyone. I want to start a new life; I want to find who I really am. I want to know who
My Belittled Husband is a Billionaire CHAPTER 119: MY ONLY ONE
Winter's POV"Here, have some hot chocolate first." Matthew sat next to me as he placed a glass of water on the center table.He brought me to an inn after what happened a while ago. I told him that I want to be away from everyone for a while."Matthew.""Hmm?""Elisse... We should have brought her with us."He shook his head. "Don't worry, I'll get her tomorrow morning. I have also told Maggie and the others to watch after her.""Okay...""A-Are you alright? N-No, I mean, what do you want to do? Do you want to eat or something?" he asked, obviously worried about me.I heaved a sigh and slowly nodded my head. "I think I'll just eat...""Okay. Wait for me here, okay? I'll prepare something for you.""Okay.."I leaned on the couch as I pulled the blanket and covered myself with it while waiting for Matthew.It only took thirty minutes before he finally brought some food and placed them on the center table."It's Almond Butter Curry.""You do know a lot of cuisines, huh?"He smiled as he
My Belittled Husband is a Billionaire CHAPTER 118: THE TRUTH
Winter's POVI woke up with Matthew hugging me tightly like a pillow as he slept.I roamed my eyes around the room and didn't find Elisse anywhere. I couldn't hear her voice from anywhere inside the room either.She woke up early today, huh?She probably went out to play with Maggie. She's really that close with our maids. That's why we had no choice but to bring them with us here in New Zealand. I turned my body to Matthew, who was still sleeping soundly. I couldn't help but smile as I stared at his handsome, innocent face as he sleeps. He really looks like a little kid whenever he sleeps. His brows were furrowed as if he was fighting with someone in his dreams and his lips were pouting. He got so tired from driving and carrying all our things yesterday, that's probably the reason why he's still asleep right now."What a sleepy head," I whispered, then pinched his cheeks. Good thing, that didn't wake him up. Instead, he turned to the other side without opening his eyes.I got up and
My Belittled Husband is a Billionaire CHAPTER 117: HIKING
Winter's POV"Can I go hiking with you, guys?" Summer asked when Matthew, Elisse, and I were done preparing for our hiking that I planned the other day. We weren't able to do it yesterday since we went out with the whole family although Matthew prepared everything that we'll need and he was also able to call some staff. I shook my head immediately. "No, you can't. Why don't you just go yourself? It's a family day, so you can't go with us. Also, you're afraid of heights, right? Something bad might happen there and mom would blame me for it, for sure.""But, I haven't experienced hiking yet. That's why I thought I could go with you guys. I promise I wouldn't be a burden. I won't let anything bad happen to me.""It's alright, you can go with us." Matthew suddenly said. I turned around and glared at him. "She can't go with us. It's a family day.""She promised not to bother us, anyway. Besides, she's also a part of our family since she's your sister.""Thank you so much, Matthew! Wait,
My Belittled Husband is a Billionaire CHAPTER 116: FAVORITE GRAND DAUGHTER
Winter's POVAfter wine touring, we then went to South island to ski and try the Hanmer Springs.Snow-capped mountains and towering forests surrounded the place. It also has a main street filled with boutique shops, cafes, and eateries. The sun was already setting when we accomplished all the activities, so we already proceeded to the thermal resort. It has children focused swings which Elisse enjoyed, slides, and tunnels to pools with a range of temperatures.Summer, mommy, Elisse, and I went to a different pool from the boys.The warm water felt so relaxing, adding up to the relaxing, scenic view of our surroundings."Mommy, can I go to that slide thing again?" Elisse suddenly asked me."Huh? Sure, if you want to. I'll just ask Maggie and Eula to accompany you. Just make sure to behave and careful, okay?"She nodded her head with a smile on her face. "Yes, mommy!"I followed her with my eyes until I couldn't no longer see her. I was about to close my eyes to relax while dipping myse

Winter's POV"Ah, I'm so glad that you agreed to go with us." Summer said with a smile on her face as soon as we arrived at the said meeting place.She organized a family trip, including me, Matthew, and Elisse. I actually wanted to refuse, but then Matthew convinced me and said that it would be a great time for us to bond with the whole family. Also, Elisse really wanted to go."Grandpa. Are you sure it's alright for you to travel?" I walked over to grandpa who was busy talking to Matthew. He smiled at me. "What do you think of your grandpa, an old hag who can't walk anymore?""It's not like that. I just—"Ah, come on. Stop worrying about me and just make sure you and your husband, together with your daughter, will have fun there.""Fine. We'll have some fun there. That's for sure.""Mommy! Is it going to snow there?!" Elisse asked me.I lifted her up in my arms. "Of course. That is why we brought sweaters and gloves with us. We are going to climb mountains and skate there.""Skatin
My Belittled Husband is a Billionaire CHAPTER 114: LOOKS LIKE A COUPLE
Ian's POVI couldn't help but ball my hands into fists whenever I see Winter and Matthew acting sweet with each other. Why is he acting like a gentleman when he's actually a jerk? It's so obvious that he and Belle had some past, but he acts as if he never cared about her or they never had a relationship. I mean, why would Belle react so much if they never had a relationship?"Don't make it too obvious that you're jealous. They might notice it, you know." I whispered to Belle while we were walking towards the booths. She glared at me. "I should be the one telling you that. You keep on frowning at Matthew even if he's not even doing anything. Also, the way you smile at Winter reveals everything already.""Oh, so you're jealous now? You're jealous because I smile a lot at her? Huh?" he suddenly said as he put his arm around my shoulders."And why would I even feel jealous? I don't care about anything you'll do, anyway. Can you remove your arms around my shoulders already?! It's annoying
