The Substitute Bride: Making Memories Of Us (Lois Stone)
Chapter 33: Nothing But Contempt
"It's not what I think?" said Arlene sarcastically.
"You're unbelievable! If you don't want to give me money, just say so! I can't believe you're being so selfish and ungrateful.After all those years we spent raising you and taking care of you!"
Arlene knew her little sister very well.
While Ayla didn't get anything from the Woodsen family, she believed she was still indebted to them.
"I really don't have money," Ayla said unhappily.
Even as she spoke, however, she saw movement out of the corner of her eye.
Brian had entered the room.How long had he been standing there? How much had he overheard?
"You're back,"she blurted out.
She was so surprised that her grip on the phone loosened, and it fell to the floor.
Brian frowned.
"What's wrong? Are you short of money? Who is trying to borrow money from you?"
He walked quickly forward and grabbed the phone before she could pick it up.
He looked at the number displayed on the screen.
Ayla snatched her phone back, pressing the button to end the call.
‘'I can't let him find out who called me’' she thought anxiously.
'If he finds out, who knows how he'll react?”
"Which boy toy of yours is asking you for money?" Brian asked in a dangerous tone.
He moved closer to her, placing his hand on her neck.To Ayla, his touch felt threatening.
"Are you deaf? Answer me!" he snapped.
When she still said nothing, he said grimly, "I've been gone for only a few days, and already you're lonely?"
He moved his hands to her shoulders and pushed her backward until she sat down heavily on the sofa inside the bedroom.
"Remember who you are! Have you already forgotten your current identity?"
"Mr.Clark, please don't do this," Ayla said desperately.
"I really didn't do anything wrong, I swear."
She wanted to push him away, but he was pressing her down into the sofa, gripping her wrists tightly.
"It's not up to you what I do," he said.
His eyes were dark with anger.
She felt a wave of fear.
Her refusal was only making him more determined to have his way with her.
She didn't have any say in the matter.She clenched her fists.
The terrible feeling of having no control over the situation made her bite her lower lip so hard that it bled.
'He must truly hate me’' she thought frantically.
After all, he had never bothered to treat her gently.He'd never even kissed her lips.And he wasn't nice or gentle this time, either.
Later, when Brian had left her room and the sky had turned black outside her window, Ayla crept downstairs.
