In Chapter 127 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 127 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.
In no time, the property management staff found the information of the owner of room 802.
"Got it. Jot this phone number down on your phone," the staff said.
"Okay, thanks."
Anastasia took out her phone, inputting in her contacts each number the staff read out loud. As she entered the phone number, it started to feel eerily familiar to her.
When she finished inputting the whole number, the contact that popped up on her phone was labeled "my Mr. Salstrom," which took her by surprise.
Why on earth would the owner's phone number be the same as Herman's? She must have entered it wrong.
Anastasia said with a smile, "Could you read it again? I think I messed up."
"Sure."
The staff read the number again, but still, the same number came up: Herman's. Anastasia listened carefully this time. There was no way she could've made a mistake.
Bewildered, Anastasia asked, "What's the owner's name?"
The staff glanced at the computer screen showing the owner's information and said, "It's Herman. Didn't your husband tell you?"
Hearing Herman's name, Anastasia was shocked. She couldn't believe it and rushed to see the information on the computer herself.
Everything was correct. The number was right, the name was right.
She couldn't put into words how she felt right now. Herman had lied to her. The house wasn't rented, it was bought by Herman.
She clearly remembered Herman saying the house was rented, with a monthly rent of 8500.
