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

Ayla dragged her aching body to her room.She was sore all over.

Leaning against the bed, she sat on the ground.

Her eyes shifted to the bottle of contraceptive pills on the bedside table.How long would she have to do this? 

Sitting in his room, Brian took a drag of his cigarette and puffed out the smoke.

His mind kept replaying what just happened.

He wondered why he became so impulsive after being drunk.

It never happened before.

He still couldn't understand what kind of woman Arlene was? Brian wanted to investigate about her when he realized her behavior differed from what he had heard about her.

But when Toby showed up, he overlooked his suspicion.

Her secret rendezvous with Toby was enough proof.

Ayla grabbed her new phone, which was given by Brian.

There was no other phone number except his.

He really wanted her to cut off all contacts.

She stared at it forlornly before putting it aside.

A week passed by after that incident.

Ayla feared that Toby would be worried for her.

She needed to meet him and explain things.

She didn't want Toby to lose his bright future and his beautiful fiancee because of her.

Although she had just seen his fiancee from a distance, she could tell that his fiancee was a beautiful and very graceful lady.

Unlike her, who had just been a burden to Toby, his fiancee was mature and really suitable for Toby.

Toby always had Ayla's back since childhood.

He skipped classes for her, fought for her, worked for her to buy her delicious food.

So, the Brown family hated Ayla very much for being Toby's priority.

Although she was adopted by Clayton, she never understood what his purpose was behind adopting her.

Because he never cared about her and never wanted to keep her in his close proximity.

Ayla never called him father.

When she turned eighteen, she thought she could finally get rid of the Woodsen family, which never really was her home.

But instead, Clayton pushed her towards a darker future from where she couldn't see a way out.
