Being The Substituent Wife to A Billionaire

Early in the morning, in the French city of Lyon, a young twenty-three-year-old woman was packing all her things and putting them in a suitcase. When finished, she came out of the room and pulled out his suitcase which felt heavy. With slow steps, she walked down the stairs.

Elyana continued to walk towards the exit with stealth. Her eyes were full of vigilance looking left and right like a thief afraid of being caught by the owner of the house. At the crossroads, there was already a black car waiting for her with two people—a man and a woman—in it.

"Elyana, come on in quickly!" Arani shouted when she saw the slender body highlighted by the golden yellow street lamp walking over while pulling the pink suitcase.

Arani immediately opened the car door for Elyana, then her friend helped put the suitcases in the trunk of the car.

"Are you ready?" asked Arani after they got into the car.

"Yes, I'm ready. We can go now!" Eliana replied slowly. She sat alone in the back seat and leaned her back against it while closing her eyes.

There was a doubt that crossed her heart when she decided to run away from home to avoid an arranged marriage that would be carried out by Y. Louis—her grandfather—tomorrow afternoon. She had no other choice but to leave this city and hide in the place where her best friend—Arani. Because Elyana didn't want to marry the man her grandfather had chosen.

Daniel was heard saying while driving his car, "Okay, let's go now. After arriving at the airport, I have to return home immediately, I can't accompany you anymore. It's okay, right?"

"Okay, no problem! We can wait for the flight, the two of us. Right, El?" asked Arani while looking back. Eliana can be seen closing her eyes while folding her arms in front.

"Hmm, Yes!" Elyana answered without opening her eyes. "When we arrive in the City of Paris, we will immediately contact you!"

Yes, their current destination is the city of Paris. A major city in France, as well as where Arani currently resides.

Because, Arani has been living and working as a waiter in a restaurant in the center of Paris for two years. Elyana plans to live in Arani's rented house and find a job there as well. Elyana had to find a safe job, which Y. Louis's men could not find.

But, what job is not easy to find for a great person like Y. Louis? Elyana should think about it very maturely.

In the morning, the whole house was in an uproar with Y. Louis's anger after learning that his granddaughter had left the house.

Everyone gathered in the family room and received orders from Y. Louis, including his first granddaughter, Rosyana.

"Okay, I'll look for Elyana at her friends' houses! But now, Grandpa must calm down first, don't get emotional. Later, Grandpa's blood pressure will rise again," Rosyana said soothingly. She was worried about the condition of her grandfather who was angry non-stop.

This was because everyone in this house had received the wrath of Y. Louis—from morning to noon. Of course, that would drain the old man's energy and mind.

"Rosyana! Under these circumstances, how could you pray for me to have high blood pressure. Do you want me to die soon, then you can get half of my treasure again?" Y. Louis accused Rosyana, still with emotion.

"Is the half of your father's inheritance that I gave you yesterday, still not enough for your life?" he said again, still not satisfied.

"That's the reason, why this time I want to set Elyana up with the man of my choice. I don't want Elyana to choose the wrong man like you. Just for the sake of fulfilling my requirements, you get a husband with origin. And in the end, you get divorced, right?"

Rosyana didn't speak anymore. She knew that everything his grandfather said was true. She married herself, only for the sake of getting half of his father's inheritance. And now, Rosyana is divorced because her husband has another ideal woman. Her heart ached so much about it.

Hearing it, Y. Louis said to everyone, "Check the CCTV footage outside again. Where did Elyana go last night?"

"Sorry, Sir.! From the CCTV footage, she was left in a black car, assisted by two men and a woman. After we checked the number of the car, it turned out that it belonged to a friend of Elyana," said Judis confidently.

As a personal assistant who has devoted herself for more than twenty years, Judis knows exactly what she has to do. Without waiting for orders from Y. Louis. She had seen the CCTV footage and found out the person who took Elyana away. In fact, she had already given orders to her subordinates to immediately bring the person here.

Sure enough, soon, Daniel came to be brought by two men dressed in black with tall and big bodies. Daniel was forced to kneel in front of Y. Louis and explained what happened yesterday.

"Where did you take Elyana?" asked Y. Louis with fiery eyes. His anger had reached its peak.

Eliana's disappearance today would destroy her image as the number one person in this city. Because previously, he had announced Elyana's engagement party with Dimitriss Fades—a forty-three-year-old rich businessman—and the status of a widower with one child.

If the engagement ceremony were to be suddenly canceled because the woman ran away from home... where would Y. Louis' face be kept?

Dimitris and his family would be furious because they felt they had been played by Y. Louis.

That's so embarrassing!

Not only the name Y. Louis would be embarrassed, but also the entire Louis family.

"Quickly say!" Y. Louis couldn't wait to see Daniel keep silent. "Last night... where did you take Elyana? If you still don't want to answer, I will report this to your parents."

Y. Louis continued, "I wonder what their reaction would be when they found out that their eldest son had kidnapped the second miss of our family? Do they still have the face to stay in the city ?"

His threat this time really scared Daniel.

Daniel knows about the prowess of the Louis family in being able to get rid of one family until it disappears without a trace from the city of Lyon. He didn't want his family to vanish and disappear like the other families because of offending Old Master Y. Louis.

On all fours while touching Y. Louis' feet, Daniel stammered, "L-last night, El-Elyana went to the airport with Arani! T-they went to-to..."

"Where did they go?" shouted Y. Louis as he stamped one foot on the floor.

"They went to the city of Paris!" Finally Daniel said it.

Although from the beginning, he had promised not to say this to anyone, but right now, his family is in danger. Daniel could not remain silent to cover up Elyana's secret to the point of neglecting the safety of his own family. He had to tell Y. Louis for the safety of his family.

"What? The city of Paris?" Y. Loius was surprised to hear Daniel's answer.

"Why did Elyana go there?" he asked curiously.

"I don't know about that, Sir!" Daniel sighed. Afraid that Y. Louis will punish him for helping Elyana escape.

"Forgive me, Sir! I will tell you the address where Arani lives in Paris. As long as you set me free!" Daniel continued to beg. Hoping, Sir Louis freed himself.

"Judis!" Y. Louis called in an echoing voice. "Make a note, of where is the boy's home address. You go there immediately and bring Elyana home before the engagement ceremony begins!"
