In Chapter 562 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 562 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.
Anastasia felt a chill run down her spine as she asked, "Why on earth would that girl wipe out her entire family? What kind of deep-seated hatred would drive someone to do something so extreme?"
Monica patted the couch and said, "Take a seat, Ana, and let me fill you in. This girl wasn’t their biological daughter; she was adopted. Five years ago, she got married. Her in-laws were pretty strapped for cash, but then they hit the jackpot with a property deal, netting a cool three million and three houses to boot. Her own family started hounding her for money, causing all sorts of drama. Later, her husband died in a car accident, and her family caused a scene, demanding a share of the inheritance, which practically drove her in-laws to their graves..."
The girl's once peaceful life was shattered by her own kin.
When the girl got pregnant with what would have been her late husband's child, her family, fearing the inheritance would be split further, forced her to take abortion pills, killing the unborn baby.
That loss was the last straw for the girl. Driven to madness, she poisoned her family's food and then butchered them all.
After hearing the story, Anastasia, though she had never met the girl, felt a pang of empathy and understanding.
Hadn't Ana herself been consumed with rage at one point?
Monica continued, "They had it coming, with greed as boundless as the ocean. Anyway, Ana, you didn't come over just to check up on me, did you? As the bride-to-be, I'm surprised Herman let you out so late at night."
Anastasia smiled and said, "I came to deliver your wedding invitation. And of course, you're going to be my bridesmaid. Here's a little something for you."
Monica opened the gift with delight. "Ana, this is too much! The latest iPhone and a pink pearl necklace? You're spoiling me!"
"One of a kind, for a one-of-a-kind friend," Anastasia said with a smile. "You deserve it."
Monica hugged Anastasia tightly. "I'm hitching my wagon to a star with you, Ana. Remember me when you're living the high life."
Anastasia laughed. "Oh come on, as if you're short on cash?"
