In Chapter 65 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 65 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 had other businesses to attend to, so he left the company affairs to Flynn and took off from the office.
His secretary, Nelson, quickly tagged along. "How's the situation with Cason?" asked Herman.
"Mr. Salstrom, it's all taken care of. The Kirkwood family's factory is totally kaput. Kirkwood & Associates had to shut down. Cason's reputation is mud in the circle, his lawyer's license was revoked, he's no longer a threat to us," reported Nelson.
Herman said," Keeping an eye on him, I'm worried that someone like Cason might do something extreme.” Herman only cared if Anastasia got hurt, and he didn't care what happened to Cason.
"Got it," responded Nelson.
Herman left Elysian Tower, with a Rolls Royce waiting for him at the door.
As Herman got in, Nelson followed, and the driver hit the road.
Herman had a business dinner to attend, a meeting with a bank manager.
At the hospital.
Cason was beaten to a pulp, multiple soft tissue injuries and broken ribs, now he was laid up in a hospital bed.
Amanda's eyes were swollen from crying. Her husband was arrested, their son was in the hospital, their factory and law firm had been shut down.
The Kirkwood family was drowning in debt, with creditors beating down their door, they had no clue how they would make ends meet.
Cason laid in the hospital bed, filled with anger. Then, Demi arrived. She was taken aback by Cason's injuries and was totally shocked when she saw him.
"Cason," Demi said with a heavy heart, "how could they do this? Just because you owe them money, they beat you up? They're practically trying to kill you."
Seeing Demi, Cason suddenly perked up, struggling to sit up. "Demi, did you find out what I asked you to look into?"
"I found out," replied Demi. She sat down, looked at Cason and said seriously, "Cason, once you're healed, let's skip town, go abroad. You can't fight that guy."
