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

Brian was sitting on the black leather couch while Jaime and several men in black were standing towering over Clayton, who was kneeling on the ground.

All the men had weapons in their hands.

On the ground, Clayton looked like a mouse caught by a fierce cat.

Several bruises were on his face.

"Mr.Clark, I promise I'll pay you back.I'm trying to find a way.Please give me a few more days."

He begged and hoped Brian would spare him a little mercy.

"Clayton, have you forgotten the conditions we made?" Brian asked in a harsh voice.

Did he think that he could escape from Brian's reach after he fled abroad? 

Clayton made a big mistake by underestimating Brian's power and contact all around the world.

"No- no.I didn't forget.Believe me, I'm trying my best to collect the money.I can pay you some amount right now, but I don't have the full amount."

Clayton was about to get up from his position when he was hit down on his shoulder and he fell on the ground again in front of Brian.

"Clayton, your daughter is very cunning.She ran away from me.Do you think you still have the chance to leave? You don't deserve to live, Clayton," he leaned forward and whispered in a deadly tone.

Ayla ran away? That bitch! Clayton couldn't believe the news.

Now he understood why Brian had captured him and brought him here.

It was all her fault.

He wanted to live the rest of his life in peace, but because of that bitch, it seemed impossible now.

"Mr.Clark, don't worry.I'll find her and bring her back to you soon.You can then do anything to her, and I'll support you,"

Clayton promised, grabbing Brian's legs.

"Tomorrow.I'll give you only one day.If you can't bring her to me by tomorrow, your life will be in danger.Don't forget that you sold your daughter's life to keep yourself alive."

Brian could have killed Clayton directly, but he didn't want to.

He wanted to see Clayton suffer, and he wanted to keep humiliating his daughter.

He would torture her all the way possible.

"Mr.Clark, do you really think that Clayton will bring her back? What if he runs away too?"

Jaime thought that Brian shouldn't let Clayton go because he was not trustworthy.

So, he asked Brian as soon as Clayton left.

"He can't run away.He doesn't have the guts.If he really dares to run away, he knows he'll die."
