Against Cruelty, She Grew Strong (by Anastasia Glover) novel Chapter 665

Chapter 665 Reunion With The Past

Norman shot to his feet, “Tammy’s gone? That bastard Lucas lost her again?”

He cursed Lucas a hundred ways in his head—wished he could grind him to dust.

He hung up and bellowed, “Turn around! Now!”

The yacht pivoted hard and raced back to port.

Any trace of drunkenness had evaporated—replaced by pure panic.

He was frantic, but he told himself it’d be fine. Tammy was a savage fighter—barely anyone could take her. And she had that animal instinct that always pulled her through.

Even so, his gut was churning.

Tammy, meanwhile, had run into trouble of her own.

She’d shaken off the pursuers.

Then—at a crossroads—she saw someone she never expected to see there.

She froze for half a second.

That half-second was all it took. Someone hit her with a sedative from behind, and she went down.

As she fell, she murmured in disbelief, “Why are you…”

When she came to, she was in a clean room—her wrists and ankles bound.

The knotwork was familiar. And thorough. She wasn’t getting out of these.

She didn’t struggle. She just called out, “Hey! You caught me and you’re not even gonna show your face? Coward!”

The door opened. A woman stepped in.

“Alita. Long time no see.”

Tammy stared.

It’d been so long since anyone called her by that name—it felt almost foreign.

“Alima.”

She let the name fall from her lips.

This was her best friend from the island. They’d grown up together, survived together.

The other girl had even changed her name to match hers.

Then one day, during a hunt, Alima slipped and fell into the sea.

Tammy thought she was dead.

She never expected to see her again—especially not here.

“Alima? I don’t go by that anymore. It’s so old-fashioned—ugly too. You’ve been off the island for a while, right? Seen the outside world, how beautiful it is. So I changed mine too. I’m Manna Steele now.”

Tammy fell silent.

And she felt confused.

Pfft.

Manna cracked up laughing.

“What’s that look for?”

“Guess that’s what makes us different. I’m Tammy now.”
