Lucas saw the look on her face.

"He raped you again, didn't he?"

Ayla turned her gaze away from him.She couldn't do anything when Brian threatened her and forced her to have sex with him.

"You shouldn't have given him the chance to rape you again! It has been more than two years.Haven't you forgotten how he hurt you?"

Lucas helped her dry her hair as he gazed into her eyes.

Why couldn't she forget about Brian? Were all the things he did for her during the past two years meaningless to her? Did she forget everything between them the second Brian reappeared in her life? And was she planning to get back together with him? Ayla got up and looked back at Lucas.

"I've never forgotten about it.How could I forget it? How could I cast aside the most painful experience I've ever gone through?" She loathed Brian.

And she hated him for raping her without considering how she would feel.

In doing so, he made her disgusted with the idea of coming back to him, and prevented her from ever giving her heart to him.  

"Lala, just stay away from him.We should go back to Italy.What do you think?"

All Lucas wanted to do right now was to get her as far away from this place as possible.He didn't want her to have anything to do with Brian ever again.

Although he knew that they were bound to meet in Antawood, he didn't expect that things would spiral out of control so soon after they saw each other.

Ayla looked back at Lucas.

‘Leave?’ What would happen to that woman if they left? Would he really just give up on her? If she made him give up on someone again because of her, then what did that make her? She didn't want to burden him.

During the past two years, she had lived by one principle.She had worked hard to make herself independent, but she knew how much she was indebted to him.

Back when she had a relapse every single day and was unable to live on her own, Lucas stood by her side without hesitation and helped her through many painful nights.

Lucas told her that she was his happiness, so she accepted his proposal.

But before she could even learn to love him back, Brian barged into her life again and forced himself on her, regardless if she wanted it or not.
