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

"I need some time to think about it."

Brian knew that Tatum only wanted to benefit from his supply and distribution channels.But he wasn't going to negotiate with him until he was certain of what happened to Ayla.

Surely, Lucas had to be present during the negotiation, which was the only way to make her understand the whole matter.She shouldn't blame him for his ploys because he was doing it all for her sake.

Two years ago, no matter what kind of suffering Tatum put Ayla through, Brian would inflict twice the pain on him.

He had had no connection to Tatum for a long time.

This time, perhaps, he could make an exception.

Jaime nodded.

"I see.Boss, I've had the drug delivered to you.You'll get the package within two days."

That drug was developed two years ago.

But for a weak woman like Ayla, she must've gone through so much hell to become who she was today.

"Got it.You can take a break now.Call me if anything notable happens."

After the phone call, Brian drove to the apartment.

As soon as he arrived, he noticed that the lights weren't on.He looked at the closed door of the bedroom.

Ayla must've found out that he had a social activity tonight, so she came home early to get some rest.

He had drunk some wine and now felt a little tipsy.He decided that he wouldn't let her just sleep so comfortably.

The truth was, it was impossible for Ayla to fall asleep so early, so when she heard someone enter the apartment, she closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

She knew that it was pointless to lock the door.

He could go in and out freely in her original apartment, let alone his own.

Just as the door opened, Ayla heard his footsteps drawing closer and closer towards her, and the smell of alcohol wafted into her nose.

Ever since she stayed with Brian, she knew that she would never return to who she was.

This man had the capability to make her surrender to him bit by bit.

He sat on the bedside, touching her face.He noticed that her long, curly eyelashes were fluttering lightly.
