The Bond Between Us ( Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 905

“Herman, don’t let your emotions call the shots,” Jason said, concern etched on his face. “The enemy’s lurking in the shadows while you’re out in the open. How are you supposed to fight back? We could be dealing with someone you’d never even imagine.”

Jason had spent more than a few nights puzzling over how Anastasia could’ve ended up on the wrong side of someone so dangerous. With her background and temperament, it just didn’t add up.

Whoever was behind this wasn’t just ruthless—they were obsessed with destroying Anastasia. What could possibly drive someone to set such an elaborate trap?

Herman, for his part, was still coming up empty. He’d replayed every grudge and every old feud in his mind, but no one fit. No one seemed capable of this level of malice.

“If we follow the trail from Ben’s death, the person pulling the strings will show themselves eventually,” Herman said, his voice sharp as ice. “When they do, I’ll make sure they pay—a real eye for an eye.”

Jason opened his mouth to reply but paused, noticing something different in Herman’s demeanor. “Did you get your memory back?” he asked quietly.

Herman nodded, his gaze heavy. “Yeah. The night Anastasia got hurt, it all came back.”

Jason let out a slow breath. Anastasia had waited so long for this, for Herman to remember—but it had to happen under the worst circumstances.

He took a sip of tea, trying to gather his thoughts. Then Herman spoke up again. “Do we know who claimed Julie’s body after she died? Is there any way to check that?”

“Julie’s body? Wasn’t it Devin who took care of that?” Jason frowned. He hadn’t paid much attention—after the case was closed, Julie died in prison, and he’d always assumed Devin had handled it.

“No,” Herman said, shaking his head. “Anastasia had Nelson look into it. The person who claimed Julie’s body used a fake ID. The name was made up—doesn’t even exist.”
