In Chapter 164 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 164 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 was known as a hot bachelor in Riverdale. All the big shot families were hoping he'd marry their daughters. Tying the knot with the Salstrom family would be a win-win situation. Pooling their resources together, both family businesses would flourish even more.
Jarod, the big kahuna of WOW Corporation, snapped out of shock, giving another look at the wedding ring on Herman's finger. "Mr. Salstrom, are you really hitched?"
Herman flashed a smile. "Yep."
Jarod curiously asked, "When did this happen? You've kept it on the down low so well. None of us had a clue."
Another CEO chimed in, "Mr. Salstrom, why didn't you bring your missus to the party for us to meet?"
"Out of the blue, you're married. You really caught us off guard."
"I bet there are loads of gals feeling bummed about it."
"You have always been a chick magnet, but you’ve stayed single, no rumors or anything. Which lucky gal got your heart?"
Guys loved to gossip about this stuff as much as the ladies did.
Two-thirds of the beauties at the party were there for Herman. Hearing he was married, they were all seriously bummed.
As Herman was about to say something, Julie, with a sweet smile, walked up to him. "Herman."
She confidently stood next to Herman. They looked perfect together, enough to cause some misunderstandings. Julie cleverly hid her ring finger. No one could see if she had a wedding ring, adding to the mystery, making others think she might be Mrs. Salstrom.
Jarod glanced at Herman and Julie, suddenly having an 'aha' moment. "Mr. Salstrom, so you and Ms. Brown tied the knot. No, I should call her Mrs. Salstrom now."
