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

Brian stood on the island, the sea breeze blew across his back.

He had been waiting for over an hour but Tatum still hadn't shown himself.

"Mr.Clark, do you think he's not coming?" Jaime asked, walking up to him.

Tatum didn't mention to Brian that his bargaining chip was Ayla.

"He'll come.I'm sure of it," Brian said calmly.

There were several cigarette butts at his feet, implying that he was a bit anxious.

Since Tatum had asked to negotiate, it seemed like he had a bargaining chip that could force Brian into giving him whatever he wanted. Meanwhile, Ayla had lost consciousness after the drug had been injected to her body.

Tatum sat in front of her, waiting for her to wake up.

When she finally opened her eyes, he asked, "Miss Woodsen, how do you feel now?"

"Are you planning to control me with drugs?"

She could feel that her body was ina terrible condition.

Looking at her, Tatum said, "I just want you to live."

Even though she managed to endure the drug addiction, she could still die.

Glaring at him, Ayla said, "I don't need it.And you're not helping me, you're only helping yourself."

If she died right now, all his efforts would go in vain.

"If that's what you think, it's fine.Look, we're almost there, and Mr.Clark is waiting for you.Don't you want to see him?"

Tatum saw the hesitation in her eyes.

He could tell that she had feelings for Brian.

And the reason Brian was so willing to meet him was because he was hoping to see Ayla.

Brian watched as the plane landed and Tatum disembarked first.

"Mr.Clark, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"Mr.Green, it seems that you're a busy man these days."

Brian and Tatum stood one meter apart; there was a Strange tension on their faces.

"No, no.I'm not that busy.I just brought a special gift for you, Mr.Clark.I'm certain that you'll like it."

Tatum clapped his hands, and immediately, two bodyguards took Ayla out of the plane.

Brian looked at her pale face.
