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 563 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.
Monica shot Anastasia a suspicious look. "Ana, why are you always trying to set me up with Jason? Spill the beans. Is there some kind of plot? Did Jason bribe you or something?"
"Given your history with guys, I just don't want you to get hurt again. A cop like Jason seems like a safe bet to me. Who's gonna mess with you then?" Anastasia chuckled. "You're sharp when it comes to suspecting me, but with guys, you're an open book—no caution at all. Friendship over romance, huh?"
"Come on," Monica looped her arm through Anastasia's, grinning. "You'll always be my number one. Guys just get whatever's left. Oh, and Jason invited me over for dinner the other night."
"That's progress, isn't it?" Anastasia teased. "And here you were saying you're not into him."
Monica sighed. "Ana, that's what I wanted to talk to you about. The dinner was actually cooked by his housemate, Alisa. And let me tell you, it was the most awkward meal I've ever had."
"His housemate doesn't like you?" Anastasia caught on quickly. "Jason's an only child. What housemate are you talking about?"
"That's the messed-up part," Monica said. "I didn't piece it together until I got home. Alisa... she's got a thing for Jason. She's the widow of his army buddy, Will, who died saving Jason. Now Jason's looking after Alisa and her daughter, like they're his own family."
Anastasia understood. "Knowing Jason, he wouldn't just abandon Alisa and her kid."
"I'm not that into Jason to begin with, so I'm not going to step into that mess," Monica declared. "Alisa works at the grocery store and relies on Jason's support. He's her rock, her lifeline. Why would I go and snatch that away from her? Plus, if Jason were my guy and he's still financially supporting another woman, I definitely wouldn't be cool with that."
Monica was known for her sharp tongue but soft heart, always feeling for those less fortunate.
Knowing the situation, Anastasia didn't push further. "You'll find someone else. There's no shortage of good men out there."
It was getting late, so Anastasia didn't stick around. After some idle chatter, she left.
The weather was as fickle as ever—pouring one minute and clear the next.
When Anastasia stepped out, the rain started again, coming down in buckets, leaving the streets deserted.
