In Chapter 219 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 219 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.
Kitty looked like she was about to burst into tears, totally upset, "Mr. Salstrom, aren't you gonna take responsibility for me? I've given myself to you. If you won't take responsibility, I might as well die."
Was she threatening him with her life? Well, that was interesting.
Herman got up, walked over to the French windows, and opened one, "Ms. Kitty, if you jump from here, you'll definitely die. It would fulfill your wish."
This was a skyscraper, jumping from here would definitely mean death.
Kitty suddenly trembled. She didn't really want to die. She was so young, why would she want to die?
Seeing Herman so cold, Kitty suddenly knelt on the ground and burst into tears, "Mr. Salstrom, you can't be so cruel to me. I am your woman, and we've been together. As a man, you should take responsibility and marry me."
Herman's eyes were dark. He unconsciously tapped on the window with his index finger, saying, "Ms. Kitty, you have a crush on me, but I need evidence to prove that your feelings for me are real. Jump from here. If you survive, even if you're disabled, I'll marry you. If you die, I'll bury you in the Salstrom family graveyard."
Kitty's face turned extremely pale. She wanted to be alive as Herman's wife, not a dead woman. Thinking of that person's instructions, Kitty wiped away her tears, mustered up her courage, and said, "Mr. Salstrom, I'm willing to do anything for you."
With that, Kitty stood up, trembling, and walked towards the window. She took a look down, her legs went weak, and she instinctively took two steps back.
Herman grabbed her hand, pulled her back, and forced her to jump, "Let's see how determined you are to be my wife. It's not that easy to get the position."
Fear filled Kitty's eyes. She hunched her shoulders and closed her eyes, not daring to look down.
Herman chuckled coldly, "You're so timid? And you dare to lie to me in my face? Tell me, who sent you?"
He pushed Kitty away, and she sat on the floor, scared out of her wits. That person hadn't told her Herman was so terrifying. Kitty wouldn't stop crying.
