In Chapter 470 of The Bond Between Us novel, the narrative takes a riveting turn, plunging readers deeper into the intricacies of Anastasia and Herman's evolving relationship. As the couple grapples with the shocking revelation of their shared past, the town of Riverdale becomes a backdrop for both confrontations and moments of quiet introspection.
Chapter 470 opens with Anastasia attempting to piece together the fragments of her forgotten memories, haunted by the striking resemblance of their daughter to a past she never knew she had. The quaint charm of Riverdale transforms into a landscape of uncertainty as Herman, determined to unearth the truth, confronts Anastasia with questions that demand answers.
The news about Anastasia's murder case shot straight to the top of the trending topics.
Monica was swamped at her beauty salon when she overheard the buzz about a murder. Curiosity got the better of her, so she peeked at the trending news and was floored to see Anastasia's name linked to the crime. It seemed unreal.
But when she read further and saw that Anastasia had allegedly killed Granny Anita, it started to make a twisted kind of sense.
Monica quickly handed over the salon to the manager and dashed out, heading straight for the police station.
While driving, she called Herman. The moment he picked up, Monica burst out, “Herman, what’s happening? Did Ana really kill someone? Is she at the police station? What’s your plan? Is the Salstrom family going to press charges?”
Monica was more concerned about Herman’s reaction. His stance would decide Anastasia’s fate.
Her speedometer hit 75mph. With Herman still silent, she shouted, “Herman, you can’t abandon Ana. She’s already in hell after losing her child. You’re her last hope. You can’t push her further into despair. You have to save her.”
Monica wanted one thing: Anastasia's freedom. Granny Anita’s death? She didn’t care.
Herman listened to Monica and finally said, “Anastasia is lucky to have a friend like you.” And with that, he hung up.
He had no time to explain things to Monica. Salma’s call came in next.
Salma, having seen the news about Anastasia, was desperately trying to reach Herman.
Herman’s phone was buzzing non-stop. Calls from Flynn, Collin, Salstrom relatives, Feiman, Katelyn – they just kept coming.
After talking to Salma, Herman immediately called Nelson: “Clean up the online chatter.”
Next, he called Dailey: “Gather everyone from the Salstrom family and meet at the Salstrom Manor Chapel.”
Having made those calls, Herman put his phone on silent, tossed it aside, and drove towards the suburban reservoir.
