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

Brian just kept his mouth shut.

Even if he allowed Ayla to do as she pleased, he had one condition: that she had to stay by his side, and she couldn't leave without permission.

"Brian, you know that she's just using you right? Don't you get it?"

Anna kindly reminded him.He wasn't an idiot.

All Ayla wanted was a stable job and career growth.

When she became part of the Clark Group's Design Department and took charge of the whole fashion season's designs, she was no longer an ordinary employee.

"Anna, there are some things that I don't need to know, and you don't have to tell me."

He had always been decisive.

Whether it involved Lucas or Toby, he wouldn't give either of them an opportunity no matter what.

He wanted to make sure that Ayla would be by his side.

Sternly, Anna stood before him, and said, "Brian, we've been working so hard all these years to get where we are today.You can't let all of our efforts go in vain just for Ayla!"

Ayla was neither a woman worthy of his love, nor a person who could contribute to the Clark Group's growth.

The reason why Anna and Brian had gone to Italy and entered into a partnership with Yareli was to help their company slowly transform.She just didn't want him to continue proceeding down a dangerous path.

It was clear to her that he wanted to transform the Clark Group into a fully legal business for Ayla's sake, but she honestly didn't care about that fact.

Anna just wanted Brian to stay safe and sound.She loved him so much that she always prayed that nothing bad would happen to him.
