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

As she looked at Lucas, Ayla asked, "Why did you come to see me all of a sudden? Did something happen?"

"I'm just worried about you.You moved to another place out of the blue, so I went to the Clark family villa to see if you were there.I'm aware that you wouldn't want to go back there, but you'll be with Brian, won't you?"

This was what worried him the most.

Besides, he could tell from Brian's eyes that no matter what happened, the only man who could stand at Ayla's side was Brian.

It could never be him.

Ayla shook her head.

"Lucas, you don't understand.There are some things that I have to do by myself."

"What are you planning to do? Are you getting back together with him?"

Was it because what he had done for her paled in comparison to Brian's efforts? 

"Lucas, you misunderstand me.I don't want anything to do with him.Didn't you say that you'd trust me?"

Ayla knew that Lucas might have some misunderstandings due to the fact that she was with Brian right now.

But she still hoped that he could understand her.When she was with Brian, there was an indescribable feeling in her heart.She couldn't figure out what it was.

But now that she was an employee of the Clark Group, everything was beyond her control.

He would know whatever Ayla was thinking, so what she needed to do right now was to finish what she must do as soon as possible, and then leave Brian.

Upon seeing her resolute determination, Lucas believed that she must have a plan.

As long as she was fine, nothing else mattered.

Besides, it was better if she stayed with Brian for now.

If either Tatum or Haley found Ayla, he wouldn't be able to do anything to save her.

Just like what happened in the past, Tatum found out Ayla’s whereabouts through Lucas.

After Tatum received the news, he took her abroad and imprisoned her in his villa.

Although she was given enough food, he still forcibly injected her with drugs without even telling Lucas.Tatum had no plans of sending her back to Antawood from the start.
