Toby knew only one thing.

The woman in front of him was the one he had loved for so many years.

No matter what kind of relationship she had with Brian, he still wanted her.

If he hadn't left Ayla and come back late, she would have been his woman instead of Brian Clark.

However, that changed nothing.

He didn't know what Ayla was thinking, but he still wanted her to be his woman.

Maybe he was being selfish, but didn't they say everything was fair in love and war? 

Toby caressed Ayla's face.She looked nervous and scared.

Seeing her trembling in his arms, he asked softly, "Are you afraid, Lala? Don't be afraid.I'm here."

Toby placed another kiss on her lips and said, "Lala, no matter what had happened before, you are mine today.You are mine."

Ayla looked up at Toby with teary eyes and touched his face.

"I'm scared, Toby.What if he finds out about us? I don't want to return to him.I want to be yours.I really love you."

Her tears, those who had blurred her vision, rolled down her cheeks.

Toby pulled her against him.

"I love you too, Lala."

Toby wanted her to forget every hurt Brian had imparted on her.

He wanted to make her feel secure.

She had lost her enthusiasm to live until Toby made her feel secure again.

If Toby didn't mind whether she had been sold to Brian, then she would spend the rest of her life with the man she loved.

Toby wanted to be intimate with her.

But when Ayla sensed he was trying to get close to her, she looked up at him with blurred vision and saw Brian in place of Toby.

She screamed aloud.

"Ah! No! Get off me! Let go of me! Leave me! Don't touch me!"

Ayla clawed at him and pushed him away.

Whenever she reminded herself of Brian, she felt her body shaking painfully.

She was so scared of Brian.

Toby worriedly noticed her cowering away from him in fear.

"Lala, I'm sorry.I-l didn't mean to scare you."

Toby brought a warm blanket and covered her with it before pulling her close to him and comforting her.

Ayla sobbed quietly in his arms.

She couldn't get out of the trauma of Brian's torture.
