The Substitute Bride: Making Memories Of Us (Lois Stone)

Brian's kiss took away Ayla's self-control.After his lips left hers, he then moved to kiss her cheeks.

Gasping for air, she asked, "What on earth do you want?"

Right now, she was in his company, his territory, and there was nothing she could do.

"I want you to willingly come back to me."

That was exactly what Brian wanted.He wanted to get back together with her, just like the old days.He had never gotten tired of her, and he still desired both her body and her heart.

"Brian, need I remind you that you were the one who drove me away back then? I'm not a clingy woman, so I obeyed your command and left!"

Ayla recalled the time that he heartlessly drove her out of the Clark family's villa.What happened to her after that became the most miserable part of her life.

"So after all these years, you still hate me, don’t you?"

Brian was hoping that she would hate him, so that she would never forget him and eventually, come back to him.

"I just want to live my life in peace! You and I are from totally different worlds.You'll never lack a woman beside you, but my heart can only be given to one person."

Ayla wanted to make it clear to him that she couldn't afford to get hurt, but it seemed as though he was heartless.

"Do you love Lucas?"

He wasn't convinced that she had actually fallen in love with Lucas.

Brian continued to embrace her tightly.She remained silent.

Whomever she loved had nothing to do with him.

"Why don't you answer me?" Brian's patience was running out.

"You're always so hardheaded.Whether you like it or not, I want you!"

Ayla was petrified.

"I never have the right to say no, do I?"

Brian had too many women, and that wasn't something that she
