Chapter 594 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.
Pattie's usually bright eyes were dull and lifeless, but when she heard news about her mom, a flicker of hope sparked within them.
Being locked up for so long and enduring Gianna's abuse had drained her spirit. Now, she was just a shell of her former self.
Opening her mouth, she tried to speak, but only a shattered whisper came out. Her voice had been poisoned silent.
"Missing your mom, huh?" Gianna sneered, staring at Pattie's face, which was a haunting reminder of Anastasia. It filled her with hatred, but the resemblance to Herman in Pattie's eyes brought her some twisted solace.
Gianna glared at Pattie with pure contempt. "You'll never see your mother again. She left me to rot in the dark, so now it's your turn to pay for her sins."
Pattie shook her head, yanking at the iron chains that tethered her to the bed frame. Her world was confined to just a few square feet of mattress.
Dropping to her knees, she begged Gianna for mercy.
Gianna watched her coldly. "I'm not letting you go, Pattie. Be grateful you're Herman's daughter, or you wouldn't even have this sliver of a chance to breathe."
Pattie stopped her pleading and knelt there, her eyes fixed intensely on Gianna.
Gianna let out a hollow laugh, leaning back against the wall, her gaze drifting to the ceiling of the windowless basement room, lit only by artificial light.
After a moment, Gianna stood up, glanced at Pattie, and said, "There's food if you're hungry. I won't be coming down for a few days."
She didn't come every day; sometimes, a week would pass before she'd return.
The room was stocked with snacks and water, which had kept Pattie alive for three months.
Gianna treated Pattie like a caged animal, a pet.
The door locked once more, and the light went out, plunging the room into complete darkness.
