In Chapter 100 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 100 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.
Herman looked a bit chilly, furrowing his brows at the sight of Collin Witt entering the room.
"Why are you here?" Herman asked, his voice deep.
"Just passing by and thought I'd see what you're up to. Haven't seen you about recently," said Collin nonchalantly. He let Herman's secretary pour him a coffee, then made himself comfortable on the sofa. "Heard you gave Blake a beating yesterday? You haven't thrown a punch in years, quite strange."
"Just flexing my muscles a bit," Herman smirked. "Just because I haven't thrown any punches in years doesn't mean I've forgotten how to fight."
"What could possibly make you use your fists? Heard it was over a girl?" Collin asked curiously.
Herman corrected him casually, "She's my wife."
"Wife?" Collin choked on his coffee, coughing uncontrollably. "Herman, are you joking? When did you get married?"
Herman pulled out a marriage certificate from his drawer and placed it on the table. "Last month."
Collin put down his coffee cup and hurriedly inspected the marriage certificate.
He saw a photo of Herman with a very beautiful woman. The document was definitely real, no doubt about it.
"Herman, you got married and didn’t even invite me for a drink?" Collin exclaimed. "That's heartless."
"I'll invite you when we have the wedding," said Herman, stowing away the certificate like a precious gem, locking it back in the drawer.
Collin pinched himself; it hurt, so he wasn't dreaming.
"I thought at most you'd be dating someone, didn't think you'd go and get married," said Collin. "Tonight you must bring your wife to meet me. You've kept this a big secret."
"Not tonight," Herman said. "We can catch up later."
With the Ledford family matters unresolved and Anastasia now fired, he wasn't in the mood to introduce her to Collin tonight.
"Because of the Ledford family thing?" Collin asked, sitting down. "You've cost Ledford Corporation billions. Kenny must be crying."
