The Billionaire's Replacement Wife

Mike Residence

“Good! Hahahahaha!” Jon laughed loudly, Yuvrelina immediately withdrew from her master’s presence.

Yuvrelina carried her basket back on her back and walked towards the plantation, blending in with the other plantation workers. She kept the envelope and the business card in her belt. On the small piece of paper was written a name: Mike Miland! The man with a devil’s heart who would bring disaster into her life!

***

After returning from work at Jon's plantation, Yuvrelina cared for Ernida Wilson, who was now seriously ill in her residence. Yuvrelina immediately took her to the hospital with the money Mike Miland had given her. With that money, her mother-in-law could receive treatment from the best doctors and have surgery as soon as possible. Yuvrelina also paid a woman to look after her mother-in-law while she had to continue working on the plantation the next day.

Jon didn't give her a day off. Instead, he repeatedly emphasized that she had to come to work on Mike's plantation as soon as possible, otherwise, he would take back all the money he had given her.

Today, Yuvrelina arrived at Mike Miland's plantation. Yuvrelina thought all her troubles would end after working on Mike's plantation. She had no idea that this was a steep precipice that would shatter her if she took even one wrong step!

Upon arriving, she immediately asked the guard who was watching the workers on the plantation.

"Sir, someone gave me this. He told me I should work here." Yuvrelina handed Mike Miland's business card to the guard.

The guard looked at Yuvrelina from head to toe. He had never seen a woman in such worn-out clothes on Mike's plantation. Besides, Mike had already told the guards that a new plantation worker would be coming to find him, and he told them to escort her to the residence.

"Come with me." He said to Yuvrelina.

Without protest, Yuvrelina followed the guard towards Mike's magnificent residence. The location of the luxurious house, like a palace, was quite far from the plantation. Upon arriving, the guard opened the large gate and asked her to enter.

"Go inside, my job is only to bring you here." He said to Yuvrelina before leaving.

The woman nodded, clutching her basket, Yuvrelina walked slowly towards the porch of the house. And she was met again by a female servant. The servant took the basket and placed it outside, inviting Yuvrelina to enter.

With trembling legs, Yuvrelina walked slowly into the magnificent residence. From the furniture around her, she felt that one of the many objects displayed there could not be bought by selling her mother-in-law's small house, which had been her home all this time.

Yuvrelina was still busy looking around. She didn't know where to go. She squeezed the sides of her gray dress.

"Mrs. Marie," someone called from inside the residence.

Yuvrelina's gaze shifted towards the stairs. She saw Mike Miland walking down the stairs towards the floor where she was standing at that moment. Mike was holding a document. When he reached Yuvrelina, Mike handed her the document.

"Read it, I want your signature here before you actually work for me." Mike said, giving her a smile.

Yuvrelina nodded and accepted the document. She didn't suspect anything about the man in front of her. "Are you Mr. Jon's business partner?"

"Yes, I am the man you helped yesterday." Mike slumped into the chair.

Yuvrelina immediately opened the document. After reading its contents, her hands trembled. Unconsciously, she squeezed the sides of the document while looking angrily at Mike, who was now sitting leisurely, propping his head on his hand, waiting for her signature.

"Is this a contract marriage document?" Yuvrelina asked, her lips trembling. She shook her head repeatedly, of course, she didn't agree with the contents of the agreement stated there. "Sorry, Sir. I, can't." Yuvrelina lowered her head.

"So, you'd rather not see your beloved daughter? Besides, you're a widow now? Marrying me is a blessing, why aren't you grateful?" Mike asked, walking towards her. He took the document from Yuvrelina's hand and opened the next page to show photos of Ana Marie, Yuvrelina's daughter with her late husband. And Ana was now in Mike's custody.

Yuvrelina was shocked. She didn't expect Mike to hold her daughter captive. She felt helpless. Yuvrelina fell to her knees, putting her hands together. With tears streaming down her face, she begged for mercy from the man in front of her.

"Sir, I'm just a plantation worker here. What if I work here, I will pay the money that Sir gave me until the money is paid off. I beg you to release Ana! She doesn't know anything. She's still young, Sir." Yuvrelina looked at Mike with a pleading gaze.

Mike stood up again. He threw the document to the floor in front of Yuvrelina. Mike's eyes turned cruel and cold. "It seems my words just now were just empty talk for you. You didn't listen at all, this is a warning for you, Mrs. Marie. Don't blame me if you never see your daughter again! Guards!" Mike shouted, waving his hand at the guards who had been standing guard near the door.

The guards immediately ran closer. "The child I detained this morning, you just throw her into the sea!" He commanded the two guards.

"No! Don't Sir! Don't! I'll sign it! I'm willing to do anything! I beg you, don't hurt my daughter. I beg you."

Yuvrelina panicked. She immediately crawled under Mike's legs, hugging Mike's right leg with both arms while sobbing continuously. Yuvrelina looked up at Mike's cold face.

"What are you waiting for? Sign it quickly!" Mike pulled his leg roughly from Yuvrelina's arms. He smirked at one corner of his lips. He smiled mockingly and looked down at Yuvrelina with a condescending gaze.

Yuvrelina squeezed the clothes covering her chest. The worn-out clothes, almost faded, were now even more wrinkled because of her tears. Yuvrelina's hands trembled. She picked up the pen from the floor. With a heavy heart, Yuvrelina began to scratch her name on the document given by Mike.
