Deep Love of The Perfect Bride novel Chapter 5

Brian narrowed his eyes and walked up to her. "As far as I have heard, they call you brave. Then why are you afraid now?"

"I... I just want to go to college," Ayla stuttered, lowering her head.

"If you've come here to talk about going to college, then stop where you are. Because that's not happening." Brian had never thought that Arlene would beg for his permission to go to college. He believed she was trying to fool him, so that she could hang out with her friends.

Ayla was crestfallen when he denied her request. She wasn't allowed to go to college ever again? She would graduate in two years. Was she going to give up just like that?

Seeing that Ayla stood there flabbergasted, Brian ignored her and walked into the bathroom, expecting she would just leave. But when he came out, she was still stood at the door. She was indeed a stubborn woman.

When he didn't acknowledge her, her head hung low. Heartbroken, Ayla turned around to leave.

"Wait!" But Brian stopped her.

Ayla immediately turned around and looked at him expectantly. He was now sitting on the sofa and smoking.

Their eyes met as she waited for him to say something. However, he didn't speak until he finished his cigarette. His gaze was so intimidating that it made Ayla feel scared instantly. The events of last night was like a nightmare and she didn't want that to happen again. She just wanted to run and hide from him.

When she saw he wasn't going to say anything, she turned to leave. "That's all you got for your patience?" Brian mocked her slowly. His voice made her stop again.

This time Ayla walked up to him and asked, "So do you agree?"

Brian arose and stood right in front of her. He lifted her chin on his fingertip and made her look into his eyes. "How many men are waiting for you outside? Why areyousoeagertoleave? Hmm?" he asked her in a cold and harsh tone.

"What are you talking about?. I just want to go to college! I swear!" No matter how timid her response sounded, she was willing to give it a try. She knew what kind of person Arlene was. The reason why she married this man for Arlene was to protect the Woodsen family and her foster father, Clayton.

All she did until now was to repay him for his kindness, but she wasn't going to give up her dream doing so.

"You know I hate it when people lie to me," Brian stated in a harsh way.

Ayla gave a stiff nod. Everything except her identity was not a lie.

"If I ever find out that you're lying to me, you know the price you'll have to pay!" Brian would like to see how far Arlene could go. He wanted to catch her red-handed.

"I understand. I will only go to college and come back home. I won't go anywhere else." She promised him. He gave her permission to go to college. But by not going anywhere else, she wouldn't be able to afford her tuition fees.
