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

Lucas heard his phone ringing.It was late and there was only one person who would call him at this time.He answered the phone warily.

"Father."

"Have you returned to Antawood?" Tatum asked without preamble.

He had asked Lucas to go to Thailand but the latter had refused.

This time, he wanted to get done with solving the Brian issue now that Lucas had returned.

"Yes, I just arrived today."

Lucas knew that he couldn't hide this fact.He had tried his best to hide Ayla from Tatum for two years.

But maybe he couldn't do it anymore.

Lucas wondered what Tatum would do to Ayla once he knew the truth.

Tatum had used her once.He might do it again.

"How long will you be in Antawood this time? I shouldn't have to remind you of the issue each time.Do you want to insult the memory of your deceased parents by losing the Collins Group that rightfully belongs to you?"

Tatum had been feeding Lucas such ideas since Lucas' childhood.

That was also why Lucas hated Brian.

All Lucas had wanted was to get close to Brian by using Ayla and kill him.

But before that could happen, he had developed a huge crush on Ayla.He hadn't taken revenge for his family yet.

And if Ayla were to know why he had approached her, she might hate him.

But he didn't regret it.

When he began trying to put a ring on her finger, he had considered everything that might happen in the future and had plotted his plan out.

"I know that, Father.I will never forget it," Lucas said, nodding.

"Good.Brian's men are watching me.So I hope you will handle this as soon as possible,"

Tatum reminded him.

Tatum's TH Gang had suffered a heavy blow because of Brian.

If it hadn't been for the fact that Brian had quitted the drug transactions over the past two years, Tatum wouldn't have had the chance to get back into this business again.

But Tatum was too eager for money.

He had forgotten the simple fact that the higher he climbed, the heavier the fall would be.
