In Chapter 357 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 357 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.
Monica had spent a considerable amount of money on Trevor, and she had even considered marrying the guy. Although Trevor was younger than her, he had a knack for pleasing her and never argued, which made her feel at ease.
Now knowing it was all an act, Monica felt sickened.
Anastasia offered, “Shall I give you a ride home?”
She didn’t feel secure leaving Monica alone. Now she was a woman in the throes of heartbreak, emotionally drained and in need of company.
Monica sighed, giving Anastasia a pitiful look. She asked, “Ana, can we hit a bar tonight?”
Amused, Anastasia responded, “Sure, my treat.”
Turning to Dailey who had just exited the building, Anastasia said, “You can head home. I’m gonna take Monica out for some fresh air. Thanks for today.”
Dailey was one of Herman’s men. She didn’t mention the bar outright, fearing Herman would worry. She wasn’t good with booze, after all.
“Okay, ma’am, just call me if you need anything,” Dailey replied.
Anastasia nodded. “Mmm.”
After Dailey left, Monica commented, “He’s so dull. How did your husband ever decide to hire him?”
“Herman says Dailey is capable. When I was kidnapped by Harmon, it was Dailey who found me.” Anastasia offered her arm to Monica. “Let’s go. My treat.”
Monica felt lousy, so she needed a drink to lighten her mood. They found a quiet bar, ordered their drinks, and chatted in hushed tones.
Once Monica started drinking, she became more talkative. She mostly complained about Trevor’s lack of conscience and his awful nature.
Anastasia listened attentively, joining in on the venting at times.
That’s what best friends do; they join in on the ranting and act as emotional dumpsters, absorbing the other’s negative vibes.
“Ana, let me tell you. The more handsome the man is, the more unreliable they are. Keep an eye on Herman. He’s surrounded by temptations,” Monica warned. “Men can’t always resist, so don’t give them the chance.”
Amused, Anastasia replied, “You’ve lost faith in men, but it doesn’t mean you can drag me down with you. I wholeheartedly trust Herman.”
“Sure, sure, you two are in a good place now. I won’t say any more.” Monica took a sip of her drink. “If Herman ever cheats, I’ll lose all faith in love.”
Anastasia shook her head. “Monica, your expectations of love shouldn’t be validated by others. You have to believe in it yourself. Then you can find true love.”
