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

Chapter 88: Make Her Have Hard Time Surviving 

Ayla looked at the servant.She didn't have an interlocutor here.

So instead of going to the coffee table, she went to the door and said, "I want to go out for a walk."

The two bodyguards guarding the door exchanged glances.

Afterwards, one of them went downstairs.

A few minutes later, Aldo came up, and said, "Miss Woodsen, please!"

Ayla glanced at the bodyguards behind her.

As a matter of fact, she had no plans of running away, because she wasn't capable of doing so.

All she wanted to do was to go out for some fresh air and admire the scenery.

Not long after, she sat in the garden.

The afternoon sunshine's warmth instilled her with a sense of comfort, and she enjoyed this feeling.

The atmosphere in this area was far different from that of Antawood.

The weather was so warm that it hardly seemed like it was winter.

As such, she knew she was far away from Brian.

Later, she found out why she had been comatose for several days.

She had been injected with a drug that could make her lose consciousness for a long time.

In her heart, she wanted to see Brian again, but her mind was saying otherwise.

Because if they met again, both of them were fated to make a choice.

It hadn't been long since she had lived such a peaceful life, and she was already about to face what she feared the most.

One day, before dawn, someone opened the door to her room.

Tatum barged in accompanied by several bodyguards.

Their striking figures were quite terrifying in such a dark room.

"What are you doing here?"

Vigilantly, Ayla got up.

Ever since she lived here, she hadn't slept well.

"Miss Woodsen, I'm here to take you to Mr.Clark.Don't you miss him after being away from him for so many days?"

Tatum stood there, watching as she huddled in the corner.

Even though she was horrified, she pretended to be calm.

"I don't want to see him! You can either let me go or just shut me down forever! No matter what, I never want to see him again!"

Tatum's motive was obvious.

He wanted to use her to blackmail Brian into giving him what he wanted.

However, she wasn't going to let him succeed.

"It's not up to you! Mr.Clark has promised to see you, and if you don't agree now, he will be disappointed," Tatum said with a smile.

"He's worried about a beautiful woman like you staying with me."

His face was obscenely horrifying.

Frightened, she shrank back, but she still shook her head.

"You don't have to.I've already said that I don't want to see him, and I have nothing to do with him!"

"Aren't you supposed to be his legal wife? The almighty and dignified Mr.Clark wouldn't allow his wife to live all alone, would he? He'll definitely want to take you back."

Tatum gave his bodyguards some sort of signal, and then two of them pulled her up.

Looking at her neat clothes, he said, "Don't be afraid.Right now, you're still useful to me, so I won't let anyone lay a hand on you."

He had ways to deal with women, but he would never dare to rape a woman.

Besides, he had no need of doing that.

He didn't want to ruin his familial affection with Lucas just because of a woman.

'Useful?'

All he wanted from her was her value, but she wouldn't let him get what he wanted.

While the bodyguards were looking away, she broke free and ran forward.

When her forehead was about to hit the edge of the table, someone pulled her away.

"Do you want to die? I won't let you.If Brian disagrees with my conditions, you'll have a hard time surviving."

Ayla failed in her efforts to commit suicide this time, and surely, she wasn't going to get another chance.

With a wave of his hand, a man came in, carrying a small iron plate.

There was a syringe on it, which contained a suspicious light blue fluid.

"This is a newly produced drug.I'm sure you'll love it."

As Tatum spoke, one of the guards grabbed the syringe and walked up to her.

Ayla would know what was in that syringe even if she was a fool.

There was no way she would get injected with that!

"No! Don't!"

"So, are you going to do what I say now?"

Tatum didn't really want to hurt her, but he needed to control her.

"I won't go with you."

Although she wasn't sure whether Brian would agree to Tatum's demands or not, she couldn't allow herself to be used by him.

"Then don't blame me for doing what I'm about to do!Inject her with the syringe!"

Tatum commanded.

Ayla didn't even have the chance to struggle. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

All she felt was a chill on her arm and she immediately fell unconscious.

"Boss, Mr.Collins will be furious if he finds out!"

Aldo wanted to stop this from happening, but he failed.

Tatum turned his head to look at him.

"Don't forget that I'm still in charge of the gang.She is just a woman! If we complete this negotiation successfully, Lucas won't have any problems with it."

To him, women were nothing.

What mattered more were riches and goods.

The unconscious Ayla was taken to a private plane.

Tatum and Brian's meeting place was an uninhabited island, which was more favorable to their conversation being undisturbed.

Brian was wearing a black windbreaker.

He pressed his lips tightly, wearing a stern expression.

Then, he put a small pistol in his pocket.

Following him, Anna said, "Brian, take me with you."

"No, it's gonna be dangerous."

Although it was agreed to be a peaceful negotiation, everyone knew that Tatum Green never lived up to his promises.

"I'm not afraid! For you, even death doesn't scare me!"

Every skill that Anna learned, she learned from Brian, including self-defense.

Although, the only reason she learned them was for him.

After a brief silence, he said, "Anna, just wait for me here."

He wasn't going to let her risk her life.

Meanwhile, Jaime was waiting at the door with five of Brian's best men.

Brian came out, nodded at Jaime, and walked towards the parked private plane.

Powerless to do anything, Anna watched as they left.

He was risking his life for Ayla, but that woman brought him nothing but trouble.

'I'll wait for your safe return” she shouted in her mind as she watched the private plane take off.

As long as he was safe, she didn't mind who he ended up with.

By the time Ayla woke up, she realized that she was in a plane.

She looked out the window and saw the clouds.

"Where are you taking me?"

The strange place and even stranger ambiance felt familiar to her.

Perhaps, this was how she was taken out of Antawood that night.

"You'll know when we get there," a man said coldly.

Ayla struggled and found that her hands had been tied behind her back, and her feet had also been shackled.

Then, she felt dizzy, uncertain if this was caused by the drug or not.

But hopefully, it wasn't.

Sadly, her hope was destroyed right away.

Not long after, she suffered a splitting headache.

She broke into cold sweat, and an unprecedented pain swept throughout her body.

The bodyguard responsible for keeping an eye on her also realized that something was wrong with her.

"Mr.Green, the drug we injected her is taking effect."

Tatum came over.

He saw that she was sweating, her body was trembling, and her face was ghastly pale.

Still, his eyes remained fierce.

"I didn't expect the drug to be this powerful."

"You are so despicable!"

Ayla remarked, enduring her pain with great effort.

"Despicable, you say? No, you're wrong.The most despicable person in this world is Brian.He uses his power and influence to undermine me, spoil my deeds, and hinders me from making money time and time again!"

Now, Tatum had abandoned everything.

He was not backing down anymore.

"There's no way that he'd do that!"

Ayla was well aware of Brian's cruelty.

He only ever cared about the results but never the process.

However, she refused to believe Tatum.

Shaking his head, Tatum said, "So it seems that you don't know him at all.But don't worry, I'll reveal his true self to you clearly."

Seconds later, Ayla's vision became blurred, and the throbbing pain was becoming worse.

Fortunately, she managed to bite her lip, preventing her from losing consciousness.

No matter what, she wouldn't surrender to Tatum's will.

"Does it hurt? Do you want more?"

He took out a syringe and deliberately showed it to her.

"It can relieve your pain."

"No! I don't want it!"

Ayla didn't need it.She must bear the pain herself.Otherwise, it could ruin her life.She wasn't going to let them inject her with another dose, but the pain was far too great that she eventually fainted.
