The Bond Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 897
It all started with Autumn.
Julie’s reputation had been destroyed, and Autumn was determined to get even—an eye for an eye—for her daughter’s sake.
She lingered in the attic for a while, quietly sitting by Julie’s urn. When she heard a car engine shut off outside, she knew Mr. Walker was home. Calmly, she left the attic and locked the door behind her.
As Autumn came downstairs, Mr. Walker was just stepping inside, smiling. “Autumn, go change. I want you to come with me tonight to a work dinner.”
Autumn faked a cough, pressing a hand to her chest. “I’m not feeling well. Maybe I should sit this one out. Besides, I never really know what to say to your colleagues.”
Mr. Walker was on top of the world these days, and he wanted to show off his wife a bit, let her enjoy the spotlight too.
“Since when are you sick?” he asked, his tone gentle. “Did you see a doctor?”
“I did. It’s just a slight fever—nothing serious.” Autumn sank into the sofa. “Give me a little rest and I’ll be fine.”
“Alright.” Mr. Walker reached out to check her forehead. She felt perfectly normal to him.
A little guilty, Autumn coughed again for good measure. Mr. Walker let it slide. “Go upstairs and rest, okay? Maybe you’re just not used to the water here.”
“Okay.” Autumn just wanted to get away before he started asking more questions.
She coughed her way upstairs. As soon as she was gone, Mr. Walker’s expression changed. He called for the housekeeper. “Has my wife seemed different lately?”
He’d noticed Autumn never wanted to go out with him since they moved to Riverdale. Back in the countryside, she’d been enthusiastic about his career, always helping out. Now, she seemed distant.
The housekeeper looked puzzled. “She seems fine, sir. Although, she does spend a lot of time in the attic.”
The attic?
He remembered seeing her come down from there once before. Curiosity got the better of him, so he headed up to check.
The attic door was locked.
