In Chapter 26 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 26 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.
Anastasia was casually flipping through a fashion magazine when Monica came running up, all flustered.
“Anastasia, Anastasia! I just saw the CEO of Elysian Technologies!”
Monica was all jazzed up, practically buzzing with excitement.
Anastasia, having married the CEO of Elysian Technologies, had essentially hit the jackpot. She was now part of the high society, the wife of a filthy rich family.
Anastasia chuckled, “Monica, you’re going bonkers over this! You didn’t even freak out this much when you first saw Herman. Is the CEO even more handsome than Herman?”
Monica took a seat, catching her breath with a sip of water. “Wait a sec, I need to chill out.” She was bursting with things to share but was too worried about saying something wrong. It was driving her nuts.
Seeing Anastasia’s nonchalant reaction, it seemed like she was clueless about Herman’s real identity. Why would Herman keep this from Anastasia?
Why did he marry Anastasia, a girl from an ordinary background, instead of someone from a big-shot family?
Monica was full of questions, and fearing Anastasia couldn’t handle the truth, she decided not to spill the beans just yet.
Seeing Monica’s weird expression, Anastasia became curious, “Spill it, what does the CEO of Elysian Technologies look like?”
“I...I didn’t get a good look, just saw his back.” Monica decided to keep quiet for now, she needed to figure out why Herman married Anastasia before telling her the truth. She didn’t want to hurt Anastasia.
Anastasia had once suffered from depression. What if the shock triggered a relapse?
Anastasia laughed it off. “Then why were you so thrilled?”
“The CEO of Elysian Technologies is a top dog. Just catching a glimpse of his back is enough to get anyone excited.” Monica tentatively asked, “By the way, Anastasia, how did you and Herman get hitched? Did you really meet on a dating website? Got married after just one date?”
Anastasia nodded. “Yes, my mom signed me up on the dating site. He was in a hurry to get married too. The matchmaker said Herman had gone on many dates and was happy with my profile. I thought he was pretty okay, so we got our marriage license.”
Monica was puzzled. How could the CEO of Elysian Technologies be on a dating site?
But judging from Anastasia’s response, she seemed blissfully unaware of Herman’s real identity.
