In Chapter 971 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 971 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 and Asher had always been at each other’s throats, so when trouble found Asher, everyone’s first thought was that Herman must’ve been behind it.
Anastasia jumped in right away. “No, not a chance. Herman would never do something shady like that. If he really wanted Asher gone, he wouldn’t have given that chip back when he did.”
Herman had his weaknesses, and he wasn’t the type to go to extremes, much less stab someone in the back. Catching Asher off guard just wasn’t his style.
When Asher got arrested, Rowan was just as stunned. “When did this even happen? Which police department?”
“J-just now,” Riley stammered, “the Einsberg police took Asher.”
Riley was funny like that—when things got tense, he spoke smoothly, but let him relax and he’d start tripping over his words.
Hanna shot a look at Rowan, grabbed his arm, and shook her head. “Rowan, you can’t go. If you show up at the station, you’re walking right into a trap.”
Back when Julie escaped from police custody, Rowan had helped her, following Asher’s orders. Hiding Julie? Rowan was in on that, too. If the police found out, Rowan would be in just as much trouble.
Rowan pulled his arm free, eyes burning red. “He’s my brother. I have to see him.”
No matter what had happened between them, Rowan still cared about family—he couldn’t just watch his brother go down without at least trying to help.
Hanna snapped, “What do you think you can do like this? Don’t forget, you’re carrying four deaths on your conscience.”
She turned to Anastasia. “Mrs. Salstrom, Rowan did all that for you. Please, talk him out of this. We can’t let him throw his life away.”
Rowan had killed four men—those kidnappers in the cave. Herman knew the truth but never turned Rowan in; if he’d been there, he might’ve done the same. The world wasn’t all black and white. Herman only cared that Rowan saved Anastasia. As for the kidnappers, Herman couldn’t have cared less.
Anastasia looked at Rowan and said, “You’re still hurt. Don’t go out now. Stay here and heal up. I’ll call Herman—he’s got connections. Let’s find out what’s really going on before you do anything rash. Storming the police station isn’t going to help.”
Surprisingly, Rowan listened. He nodded. “Alright. Let Herman check things out first.”
