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

Ayla got changed and walked out of the bathroom.

Brian was waiting outside.

He took a quick glance at her as his jaws clenched.

Without another word, he turned and stormed out.

She followed him obediently.

The car ride was the most awkward.

The air inside the silver Bentley was so tense that Ayla could only look out of the window and pray it's end soon.

The temperature of the air always seemed to drop whenever Brian was, which made her shiver.

The car ride was mostly silent.

An hour later, they reached Brian's luxurious villa.

The elegant villa had an exquisite layout which only Brian could afford.

The car slid into the garage and came to a halt.

Brian got off of the car and ordered her in a bitter tone, "Get out!"

The Woodsen family also owned a villa, but it was incomparable to Brian's.

She timidly followed behind Brian, taking each step cautiously.

"Sir, you are back."

The butler, Ruben, greeted them and glanced at the beautiful woman behind Brian, but said nothing.

Brian went straight to the living room and sat down on the sofa.

Maria came out shortly and served him coffee in a delicate and expensive coffee cup.

"Sir, here is your coffee."

Brian had a habit of drinking coffee at this time.

Brian smelled the strong fragrance of the coffee, made from top class Jamaican coffee beans.

It was his favorite.
