The Bond Between Us ( Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 511

Anastasia was utterly bewildered when she found herself being whisked away in Herman's car without a word of explanation.

Half an hour later, after shaking off whoever was tailing them, Herman brought Anastasia to an upscale apartment complex he owned. It was a place he seldom stayed at, but someone came by regularly to keep it pristine.

From the grand floor-to-ceiling windows, the bustling city of Riverdale was on full display.

Standing before the immense window, Anastasia asked, “Herman, why have you brought me here...” She couldn't finish her question before his lips captured hers in a fervent kiss.

Months of longing, months of restraint, all melted away in that instant. Herman kissed her desperately, their clothes shed one piece at a time, the air between them electric with desire.

She craved him just as fiercely—her heart, her body...

“Darling,” he husked into her ear, his voice rough with emotion. In his heart, she would always be his beloved, his darling.

Their skin was ablaze, their heartbeats frenzied. After their intense kiss, Herman pressed her against the window pane, his arms encircling her, their foreheads touching as they panted for breath.

The glass was one-way; they could see the world outside, but no one could peer into their intimate space.

Their heart rates soared, their bodies flushed with heat.

Anastasia lifted her gaze to meet his, which was filled with desire. "Herman, why...?" she breathed out.

Did he not harbor any resentment towards her?

After all, she was the one accused of taking his grandmother's life.

He looked deep into her eyes, as if reading her thoughts, and said, “The real culprit behind Granny Anita's death is still out there.”

Anastasia was shocked not by the revelation that there might be another murderer, but by Herman’s suspicion. How could he possibly know?
