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

Chapter 87: Another Predicament 

Ayla drew herself up to her full height and said, "I have nothing to do with him."

Had this man brought her here on purpose?

"So there is nothing between you two? How is that possible? Mr.Clark is looking for you all over Antawood, but he doesn't know that you are here," Tatum said, smiling.

"Where am I now?" Ayla asked, suspicious eyes darting around her.

She knew she was right.

The unintelligible language and unfamiliar environment meant that she was far from her city.

Tatum said from the sofa, "Miss Woodsen, you don't have to know where we are.All you need to know is that I gave this villa to you.Do you like it?"

"No! Let me go!"

‘'Brian is looking for me? Would he really do that? Didn't he drive me out of the villa the other day? Then why is he looking for me? Will I be locked in here forever if he doesn't find me?'’ Ayla thought frantically.

"I'm sorry but I can't let you go now," Tatum said, a hint of apology in his voice.

"It will let you go only when Mr.Clark agrees to give me everything I want."

It had been difficult to get Ayla here.

He wasn't about to let her go so easily.

Even if she were to die here, he had to get whatever he wanted from Brian.

Ayla sneered, "I didn't think you were this naive.I'm just a woman he doesn't want.How will you take advantage of me to achieve your goal? This is ridiculous.You won't succeed even if I die." She had barely finished speaking when a bodyguard slapped her.

"How dare you be so rude to our leader!" he growled.

Ayla was already weak.

At this assault, she tumbled backwards and hit her forehead on the low cabinet.

Tatum's jaw twitched.

He waved a hand and said, "Don't do that.Miss Woodsen is our distinguished guest.We need to treat her well."

"I don't need your hypocrisy.Besides, you won't succeed,"

Ayla bit out fiercely.

She was dizzy from the fall but she wasn't about to admit defeat."We shall see,"

Tatum said, getting to his feet.

"Keep an eye on her.If anything happens to her, you know what will happen to you."

All the men left with a last glance at her.

Ayla leaned against the wall, helpless.

Why was she hearing all of this from someone else, now that she had left Brian? If she had known that Brian would look for her, she would have cried and begged him not to drive her away back then.

But she had left and he was out there looking for her, desperately, if she were to believe Tatum.Her affection for him and the love that she had finally expressed, had disgusted him, resulting in her being kicked out of the villa.
