My Belittled Husband Is A Billionaire

Belle’s POV

“It’s such a waste to even have my men accompany us here when you can just punch that old man and he’ll already lose his consciousness.” Themis said to me, almost pouting.

I just punched Mr. Collins and he fell to the ground because of that.

“I told you, I can handle myself now. You used to teach me self-defense back then, right?”

“Yeah, I know. But I didn’t know you still remember that even after all these years.”

“Of course, I will.”

He just heaved a deep sigh. “Alright, alright. Then I wouldn’t have to guard you every single time now.”

“That’s why you don’t have to worry so much about me anymore.”

“I know, I know.”

“By the way, since we’re already here, why don’t we just enjoy the moment and have fun like everyone else?”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

He looked around us and saw how people were busy having the time of their lives. The sky was getting darker and countless stars illuminated the sky.

“Well, I guess you’re right. Although, I can’t drink that much. I still drive our way back home.”

I frowned. “Then what’s the use of your men? You can get drunk all you want, good boy.”

Before he could even speak again, I already clung my hand around his arm and pulled him towards the crowd. He was hesitant at first, but I was able to convince him.

“If Tim is here, he’ll surely love it.” Themis said while looking around.

I smiled at him and tapped his shoulder. “Why don’t you meet each other sometime? It’s been a while since the last time you talked to each other though.”

“The right time will come, anyway. It’s not that I don’t want to see him, I just don’t want to meet him without succeeding with my plan yet.”

“Oh, Themis. Tim obviously misses you so much, but he’s just trying to keep it to himself.”

“I know.”

Silence captivated us for a while. But then the music changed and so I had an idea and tapped his shoulders. “Themis, let’s dance!”

“Huh?”

“Let’s go dance there!”

I pulled him over the dance floor as I started dancing together with the other people. I know he doesn’t really like dancing, so I just let him stand there while watching me.

When he got tired, he sat at a table and just drink some wine to keep himself busy.

“Hello there, beautiful lady. May I dance with you?” a man about my age with a black piercing on his left ear suddenly approached me.

I glanced at Themis and saw him scrolling through his phone while yawning as if he was getting. Then I faced the man again and smiled at him. “I’m sorry, but I’m with my boyfriend.”

“Your boyfriend? Why wasn’t he dancing with you? How can he leave his beautiful girlfriend alone here in the dance floor?”

“Well, he’s kind of busy, so….”

“Then how about we make him realize what he is missing?”

My brows furrowed at him. “W-What do you mean?”

“Let’s dance together and make him jealous.”

I was hesitating at first, but then I had no choice when the man put his arms around my waist and pulled me close to him. Also, I kind of want Themis to notice me and get jealous.

We continue dancing while drinking whiskey once in a while that I didn’t notice I was getting drunk already.

“You look so beautiful.” the man whispered to me, so I smiled at him.

“Thanks.”

He leaned closer to me, so I got surprised. He was about to kiss me, but then an arm held my hand and pulled me away from him.

“That’s enough for now.”

As I looked over my shoulder, I saw Themis, glaring at the man.

The man then smirked. “At last, you noticed us. You know what, dude? You shouldn’t leave your beautiful girlfriend here. Or for sure, you’ll regret it.”

“You shouldn’t be kissing a random girl. That’s what you should keep into your mind.” Themis replied in gritted teeth.

After that, he dragged me with him until we reached the deck of the cruise ship.

“Themis, I still want to dance there! Why did you bring me here?!” I complained.

He then looked at me with wrinkled brows. “Why did you do that? Why were you dancing with that man a while ago?”

“Why? Can’t I dance with anyone? I just wanted to have fun, Themis…”

“But he’s obviously trying to hit on you. If I didn’t see you, what else do you think he has already done to you?”

I pouted in front of him. “I just wanted to have some fun, what’s wrong with that?”

“There’s nothing wrong about that, but–

“Are you jealous of him? You don’t want to see me with somebody else, am I right?”

“Belle.”

“Come on, Themis. Just admit it. It’s been so many fucking years now, and you still can’t confess your real feelings towards me! I don’t know if you’re a coward or an idiot! You don’t know how much I’ve been waiting to hear that from you!” Tears filled my eyes while looking at him. “I love you, Themis! Even after all these years, you’re still the one I love! The reason why I went abroad, was all because of you! Because I wanted you to be proud of me, because I wanted to be suitable for you!”

“Belle, you’re already drunk. I think we need to—

“No, I’m not! Stop pretending like you don’t know how I feel for you! And I know you love me too! Why can’t you just say it?! Be a real man and say what you feel about me!”

“Belle…”

I cupped both of his cheeks and made him look straight into my eyes. “I love you, Themis. I love you so much. Please, don’t try to hide your feelings from me anymore. Say you love me too.”

He was about to speak again, but before he could even do that, I was already able to press my lips against his.
