In Chapter 991 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 991 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.
He kept calling himself “the boss” and acted like he owned the place. Honestly, in all of Riverdale, you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone else bold enough to talk like that in front of the mayor’s wife.
The real difference between Joseph and Herman? Joseph never bit his tongue. If he didn’t like someone, he’d say it straight to their face—didn’t matter if you were the President or the Queen of England. He had to get it off his chest first, no matter the consequences.
Herman, though? Not much rattled him. Unless it involved family, he couldn’t care less what people did or said.
Autumn, on the other hand, was fuming. She’d been married to Mr. Walker for years, and whether in the sticks or in Riverdale, everyone always gave her a bit of respect.
But Joseph? He couldn’t care less.
“Joseph,” Autumn said, her lips tight with anger, “if you weren’t Daria’s father, you’d have been locked up ages ago.”
She never let anyone off the hook who hurt Julie. She’d already made Asher pay. The only reason Joseph was still walking free was because Daria loved him—he was her father, her legal guardian.
Joseph just grinned, tapping his finger against his head like he couldn’t be bothered. “So, Mrs. Walker, what crime are you booking me for?”
“Rape,” Autumn spat, her voice shaking with rage. “Don’t pretend you forgot what you did.”
Joseph’s smile faded. He gave a cold laugh. “Every woman I’ve been with wanted to be there. You think I need to force myself on anyone? That’s a joke.”
“Julie,” Autumn said, her fists clenched so tight her knuckles went white, her eyes burning with hate.
“Julie?” Joseph’s grin vanished. “What is she to you, anyway?”
Autumn clammed up, refusing to answer.
Joseph just kept pushing. “Julie came to my bed on her own. You want to know how wild she was that night? I’ve been with a lot of women, but none could compare to Julie. And that body of hers—damn, she was something else. Curves in all the right places—”
He watched Autumn’s face, deliberately getting more graphic, clearly enjoying every second of it.
Autumn finally snapped. “Enough! Julie is still Daria’s mother. How can you talk about her like that?”
He sneered. “Protective, aren’t you? What, you her mom or something?”
