The Bond Between Us ( Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 798

In the small town of Riverdale, at a simple motel, Herman had finally fallen asleep after too many cigarettes. Meanwhile, in the next room, Sean was wide awake, scheming about how to stop Herman. He knew what would happen if Herman returned to the Salstrom family.

Sean was worried sick about his sister, Sandy. He couldn't stand the idea of anyone hurting her, and he was ready to do whatever it took to keep her safe, even if it meant putting himself in harm's way.

As the first light of dawn crept in, Sean's nerves got the best of him. He marched over to Herman's door and rang the bell. When Herman opened it, he stood there, cool as a cucumber, and said, "Get lost."

Sean, gathering all his courage, stood his ground. "George, come back to Willowbrook with me. If you don’t come home today, you’ll have to step over my dead body to leave this room."

Herman frowned, knowing full well that Sean was no match for him. But Sean, feeling the weight of his own fear, softened his voice. "It was my sister who saved your life when you were in trouble. She covered your medical bills and all your expenses. Without Sandy, you wouldn't be here. You owe her."

Herman’s patience was running thin. "I'll give you three seconds to move."

"No way," Sean insisted, arms wide open. "George, marry Sandy, and I'll hand over the Morton Group to you. Forget about the past and start fresh. Isn’t that a sweet deal? The Morton Group is worth over a billion dollars. Think about it."

A billion dollars was tempting, but to Herman, it was less appealing than a cozy cup of hot cocoa on a chilly night.
