In Chapter 356 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 356 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 glanced at Monica. “Just barge in?”
“Yep.” Monica had been holding it in for a while. With Anastasia there and the added force of Dailey, it was time to confront. She knocked on the door.
The sound of the knocking would undeniably summon someone inside. Sure enough, the door swung open to reveal a man wrapped only in a towel - Trevor.
Upon seeing Monica, his face darkened and he tried to slam the door shut, but it was too late.
Dailey, though viewing this as a minor incident, still needed to play his part. He held the door open, giving Monica the chance to enter.
The person inside had heard the commotion and asked, “Trevor, who is it?”
Upon hearing the voice, Monica took a deep breath and stormed in, only to see a woman in her fifties, probably weighing around 165 pounds, lounging on the couch in a robe.
A romantic set-up with steak dinner, fresh flowers, and candlelight covered the table. The room was filled with the scent of perfume. The ambiance was set.
Monica pointed at the woman and accused Trevor, “Really? You’re into older women now, Trevor? You’re unbelievable.”
Enraged, Monica kicked Trevor.
The overweight woman glared. “Trevor, who is this woman and what’s going on?”
“Rachel, it’s a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding. This is my sister.” Trevor winced in pain and tried to pull Monica away, whispering, “Can we talk outside? I’ll explain everything.”
“Explain what? You’re alone with her, and dressed like this. Isn’t it obvious?” Monica furiously hit Trevor again. “Do you have an Oedipus Complex, Trevor? Going for someone this old?”
The overweight woman, now figuring it out, stood up. “Trevor, is this your girlfriend? You have a girlfriend? But you still mess around?”
Last time in Los Angeles, Trevor tried to drug Monica, but due to an unexpected turn of events, Monica knocked over the spiked drink, and his plan failed.
Trevor wanted to find a wealthy woman, and he found out that Anastasia was Herman’s wife. Since Monica was good friends with Anastasia, he continued to keep Monica around, hoping to reap more benefits.
Trevor’s harsh words finally made Monica give up on him. She stared at Trevor with pure hatred, walked up to him and, without warning, kicked him where it hurt the most. His screams echoed down the hotel corridor.
After teaching Trevor a lesson, Monica, with Anastasia in tow, left the hotel room with Dailey covering their retreat.
Once outside the hotel, Anastasia asked Monica, “Are you okay?”
Monica took a deep breath, seemingly letting go of her anger. “I’m fine, Ana. He’s just a jerk. I should listen to you. He’s nothing more than a lowlife.”
