The Bond Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 56

The moment Anastasia got home, she was antsy. She asked frantically on the phone, "Monica, do you know anyone at the police station?"

"Not really, Ana, don't worry..." Monica realized that Anastasia didn't know about Herman's situation. She knew that he'd been taken away by the police, which must have been making Anastasia pretty freaked out. "Here's the plan, Ana, head home and I'll make a few calls to see if I know anyone at the station."

Monica was just trying to soothe Anastasia's nerves and hoped she wouldn't worry too much.

"Alright, I'll be waiting for your call."

Anastasia hung up, full of worry, and drove off to the police station.

Even though she might not be able to do much, she still wanted to check things out at the station.

As soon as Anastasia arrived and got out of the car, she saw Cason stepping out of another car.

"Cason, you're such a jerk," she accused loudly the moment she saw him. "You should drop the charges."

"Anastasia, I warned your husband. He refused to apologize. It's a world of law now, I'm just protecting my rights. It's only fair," Cason sneered. "Everyone has to face the consequences for their actions."

"How can you be so nasty?" Anastasia lost her cool. "Drop the charges and I'll cover your losses, no matter the cost."

"Anastasia, you should know, I'm not after compensation." Cason smirked with his hands in his pockets. "You know what I really want."

Anastasia was shaking with rage. Was this vile, shameless man really the Cason she knew?

With gritted teeth, Anastasia said, "You're dreaming."

Cason's level of nastiness shattered Anastasia's perception of him.

To protect Herman, Anastasia struggled to control herself. She explained, "I never lied to you. I never dated two people at the same time. You left first, Cason. Why take your anger out on an innocent person? Why drag Herman into our problems? If you have any grudges, come after me. Leave him out of this."

Cason looked at Anastasia coldly, the more she defended Herman, the angrier he got.

"Anastasia, you're really shameless, still denying your wrongs. Do you want me to spill what you did back in college?" Cason mocked. "Don't play innocent in front of me. You're a slut."

Anastasia was truly puzzled. What had she done in college that made Cason so angry?

Had she really forgotten something important?
