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

"Did you say that you didn't take her away? You are a liar!"

Brian firmly believed that Lucas had kidnapped Ayla.

"I couldn't care less whether you believe me or not.I am detained in this hospital bed like a prisoner.Do whatever you want!"

Lucas said to Brian as he struggled to sit up.Brian was aware of the fact that the chances of Ayla being around here were remote even if Lucas was the one who took her away.

He turned around to leave.

Lucas was consumed with mixed emotions.

As a parting shot he said, "Brian, you are doomed to lose her!"

Brian had left no stone unturned in his quest to find her.

Ayla had simply vanished into thin air.

Jaime followed Brian out of the ward.

"Mr.Clark, do you believe Lucas?"

"Keep an eye on him!"

How could he believe his words? She couldn't have disappeared without reason.

Someone had premeditated her kidnapping.Jaime nodded and instructed two bodyguards to keep watch.

As Lucas watched Brian's figure become smaller, he hid his emotions with downcast eyes.Meanwhile, Ayla awoke in a luxurious but unfamiliar villa.

The room was tastefully decorated.

She sat up in surprise, wondering where on earth she was.

Suddenly, the door opened and in walked a servant.

"Where am I?" she demanded.

The servant just stared at her but remained silent.

As Ayla proceeded to venture out of the room, the servant shook her head and stopped her.

"Where on earth am I?"

Why was she brought here? The servant remained silent.

'Did she not understand me or is she forbidden from communicating with me?' Ayla wondered.

With all the strength she could muster, she pushed the servant away and tried to make a hasty exit.

But the two bodyguards posted at the door prevented her from leaving.

"Miss Woodsen, you cannot leave," said one of the bodyguards in broken Chinese.

"Where am I?"

She suddenly felt all alone in a strange, foreign land.
