My Belittled Husband Is A Billionaire

Winter’s POV

I was in the middle of filming when I suddenly received a call from Matthew.

“Hello?”

“Winter, Elisse is missing!” the frustration in his voice was obvious.

My eyes widened. “Missing? What?! How? She’s in school, right?”

“Yes, I went here to fetch her, but then the guard of their school told me that a woman went here and introduced herself as Elisse’s guardian. She also presented some identification cards which left them no choice but to give Elisse to her.”

“For sure that’s her stupid Aunt!”

“That’s right. Don’t worry, I won’t stop until I finally find her.”

“I’ll go there. Wait for me.”

“Huh? Are you sure?”

“Yes, wait for me.”

“Okay.”

I hang up the phone and looked at Haley who was standing beside me.

“I need to go now.”

“Huh? But we still have to–

“This is important. We can just continue it tomorrow.”

“But Winter, you know–

I gathered all my things and started walking away while Olivia was following me. They were looking confusingly at me, but I just continue walking until I finally reached my car.

“That old witch! I’ll surely break her neck when I see her!”

I should have hired a bodyguard for Elisse so no one could go near her except me and Matthew. How did that woman even know where Elisse is studying at?!

“Matthew!”

“Winter!”

Matthew immediately ran in my direction as soon as he saw me step out of my car. He looked so worried that his hair became messy and the first button of the shirt that he was wearing was already undone.

“What happened? Have you found her already?”Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Not yet. But I already contacted the policemen and our men so they could help us look for her.”

“Why don’t we go to the house of her aunt? For sure she brought her there.”

He shook his head. “We already went there. We didn’t find anyone.”

“Where the hell did that woman bring Elisse? For sure she’s so scared right now.”

“If only I knew this going to happen, I should’ve left the other paperwork in the company office and gone to her school much earlier.”

“You don’t have to blame yourself for this, Matthew. What we need to do is to find Elisse no matter what happens.”

“You’re right.”

Matthew and I then stepped inside his car, then we started looking for Elisse in every possible place her wicked aunt would take her. We also asked some people about them and they provided us with places they possibly went to, but still, we didn’t find them.

Until my phone started ringing. It was from an unknown number.

“Hello?”

“M-Miss Winter?”

My eyes widened as soon as I heard Elisse’s voice over the phone.

“E-Elisse?! Is that you?! Elisse?! Where are you?! Are you alright?!”

“M-Miss Winter….” suddenly, she started crying. “Miss Winter, help me…”

“Yes, we’re going to help you. Tell us where you are right now.”

All of a sudden, we heard a sound as if someone took the phone away from Elisse. And as we expected, it was her Aunt. “Winter Wesley, is this you? That famous celebrity?”

” Yes, this is me, you old witch! Don’t you dare hurt Elisse or you’re surely dead!”

“Oh. Looks like you’re that close with this hardheaded little brat. Fine, if you don’t want me to hurt her and if you also want to get her back, then give me $10, 000.”

“What?! Are you insane?!”

“If you don’t promise to give me that money, then might as well bid a farewell to Elisse.”

“Don’t you dare hurt her! Fine! I’ll give you what you want! Just tell me where I should send it!”

The old witch gave me her account where I would send the money, but then she hang up the phone when I was about to ask her about Elisse again.

“She really planned all of this. For sure she has been watching Elisse and upon knowing your real identity, she thought that she might use Elisse to get some money from you,” said Matthew.

“Of course, she planned all of it. What a devil. Using a child for his selfish reasons.”

In the end, grandpa’s men were able to track the location of that woman and Elisse. She even tried to escape, but the policemen caught her. We even saw Elisse crying inside a room where that old witch tied her hands and covered her mouth with masking tape. I ran in her direction and untied her arms and took off the masking tape from her mouth.

“Miss Winter…” her face was covered with tears.

I immediately hugged her with tears running down my face, too. “Oh my God, Elisse. I’m so glad you’re fine. I’m so sorry… I’m so sorry…”

Matthew lifted Elisse up in his arms as she fell asleep. We even saw her aunt outside that abandoned house when we were about to enter the car.

“Hey, you wicked witch!” I yelled.

The woman looked at me. “What else do you want from me?!”

“Well, I just want to say goodbye to you. And this is what you should always remember, you will never ever see Elisse again.”

She sarcastically laughed. “And why do you even care about that damn kid? You don’t even know her!”

“I know her.”

“You’re not related to each other!”

“I don’t care. Whether she’s related to me or not, it’s none of your business. I care for her, and that’s far better than you who never really treated her like she’s related to you!”

After that, I stepped inside the car and the three of us went home. Elisse started crying when she woke up, so I just hugged her until she was finally alright. Matthew and I even had to promise we would never leave her side again. She also asked if she could sleep beside us, and since we don’t have any choice, we agreed.

“I’m so happy to be with you again, Miss Winter and brother…”
