In Chapter 280 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 280 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.
Gianna's voice on the phone was super soft, as if she was trying to keep it down in fear of being heard. Her voice was trembling, and even through the phone, Anastasia could sense Gianna's fear. Anastasia quickly asked, "What's happening? Where are you?"
"I'm at home..." Gianna's voice trailed off and then the call got cut off.
Anastasia immediately knew something was up and quickly said to Katelyn, "Take care of Pattie for me. I need to step out for a bit."
Anastasia quickly slipped on her shoes; she needed to immediately go check on Gianna.
"Ana, wait for Herman to get back. It's too risky for you to go alone. You don't know what's going on with your cousin." Katelyn had overheard the phone conversation.
"Herman is working late today. He can't make it. Don't worry. I'll be careful, Katelyn. I need to go." Anastasia hurried out of the door. She wouldn't just go to Gianna's place alone; she would definitely call the cops first and bring them along.
Anastasia had only been to Gianna's place once before. Gianna and Joey had been fighting over a divorce in the last couple of months and now Gianna was calling for help. Something must have gone down.
But Gianna didn't clarify anything on the phone, so Anastasia could only guess. However, when Anastasia arrived at Joey's house, she was taken aback. Aunt Cynthia and Uncle Jax were there. The two families were sitting on opposite sides of the living room and the atmosphere was as chilly as ice. Gianna was disheveled, wearing a coat and looking pale as she nestled in Cynthia's arms.
Cynthia was hugging Gianna tightly, her face filled with rage and pity. Uncle Jax was looking down, his face full of despair.
Joey opened the door to let Anastasia in, and upon seeing her and the two cops at the door, he sneered and then turned his gaze back to Gianna in the room, "Family shame should be kept private, but you're spreading it around. Now the cops are here. Good, let's have some witnesses to see how you've been cheating on me at home."
Gianna cheating? Anastasia was surprised as she looked at Gianna on the sofa. She had originally thought Gianna was being abused by Joey and her life was in danger, and that was why she brought the cops. However, she didn't expect the situation to be like this.
