The Bound Between Us ( Anastasia )

Chapter 59 

Anastasia stared into his deep eyes, her heart racing. It was a feeling that screamed ‘I’m into you“. 

His arms wrapped around her waist and it felt like an electric current was coursing through her body. 

His deep and magnetic voice was filled with fatal attraction 

Her rosy lips made Herman’s heart race. He leaned in and gently sealed her lips with a kiss. 

That lingering, suffocating kiss made Anastasia feel like her brain was starved of oxygen. Herman had no intention of letting go. He kissed her all the way to the living room sofa, passionately kissing her lips, her face, her neck… 

As his actions intensified, Herman started to lose control. 

The smell of Anastasia reminded him of a dream, a woman in the dream also made him lose control. He couldn’t tell if the dream was real or not. 

Anastasia’s brain also stopped working, she was so dizzy from the kissing, she just instinctively followed Herman’s rhythm, instinctively responding 

Just as the tension was about to escalate, Anastasia’s phone rang. It was a call from Katelyn. 

She had finished her mahjong game and found a few missed calls from Anastasia, so she hurriedly called back. 

The sudden ringtone woke Anastasia from her trance. She instinctively placed her hand on Herman’s chest and gasped, “Hold on…” 

It was as if a bucket of cold water had been dumped on her just as she was about to climax. The fire inside her was extinguished. 

Herman also realized that he had lost control. In front of Anastasia, he felt a little out of control, which was simply unbelievable. 

Herman let go of her, Anastasia avoided Herman’s gaze and quickly answered the phone, “Auntie!” 

“Ana, what happened? I saw several missed calls and hurriedly called back.” 

“Auntie, it’s okay.” 

Anastasia glanced at Herman, he had already come back, she didn’t want to worry others, so she made up an excuse, “I wanted to bring you some fruit, but you weren’t home, so I called” 

“That’s good” Katelyn was relieved and laughed over the phone, “I’ll be there soon.” 

“Okay, drive safe” 

After a brief chat, Anastasia hung up the phone and saw Herman standing up to leave. 

“Herman.” She called out to him, “Where are you going?” 

Herman smirked, “I’m going to take a shower.” 

Anastasia had lit the fire, but failed to put it out, naturally, he needed to cool down with a shower. 

Anastasia got the hint, her face instantly turned red. 

Herman went to take a shower, Anastasia slapped her cheeks, Herman had been a bit too wild just now, she was almost completely conquered by him. 

She also decided to wash her face to cool down. 

About ten minutes later, Herman came out of the shower, dressed in casual home clothes. 

Anastasia was nestled on the sofa, seeing him come in, her face turned red and her heart raced again. 

Herman’s figure was simply too good, any clothes looked great on him, his whole body exuded an attractive aura. 

Anastasia asked, “Herman, how did you get released? I went to the police station to bail you out, they said they couldn’t release you, how did they let you go?” 

Herman vaguely said, “I have a distant cousin who has some influence, he helped me solve this problem.” 

In this way, Flynn became the scapegoat, and Anastasia wouldn’t be suspicious. 

“We should really thank your cousin.” Anastasia thought of Cason’s threat in the police station and started to worry again, “Is this issue really resolved? Did Cason withdraw the charges?” 

Herman nodded, “He withdrew” 

“Why would he suddenly withdraw the charges, did he cause you any trouble? Did he ask for compensation?” Anastasia was worried that Herman was treated unfairly 

“No.” Hermansmiled and stroked her head, “This matter was solved by my cousin, I don’t know the specifics. It’s already late, do you want to go to bed, or continue what we were doing 

In order to prevent Anastasia from asking further, Herman deliberately teased her. 

He slowly moved closer to her…. 

“I’m going to bed” Anastasia said quietly, “I have to report to the company tomorrow. It’s good that this is resolved. When we have time, let’s invite your cousin for a meal to thank him properly.” 

“Okay” Herman didn’t continue to tease her, he knew Anastasia was shy 

Now that Herman’s issue was resolved, Anastasia felt relieved. She returned to her room and called Monica to inform her of the situation. 

Monica was never worried, she knew Herman would be fine, but Cason, he was in big trouble. 

Cason, who was still unaware of the trouble looming overhead, was still thinking about how to get back at Herman and let him stay in detention for a while longer. 

If Herman didn’t apologize to him, he would never let it go. 

Cason, who had just returned home, was in high spirits. Ray saw his face covered in bruises and asked, “Cason, what happened to your face?” Amanda came out of the room when she heard the noise and saw Cason’s injuries. She asked worriedly. “Who did this? Son, how did you get hurt so badly? Who would dare to hit you?” 

Before Cason had a chance to answer, he received a call from Demi 

“Cason, your bribery overseas has been exposed. The entire lawyer community is talking about it. You have been blacklisted by the lawyer community and your lawyer qualification may be revoked. Plus, our law firm is also in trouble, the source of the registered capital is being investigated” 

Demi anxiously informed Cason of the current situation over the phone. 

Before Cason could recover from Demi’s words, Ray also received a call from the factory, “Mr. Kirkwood, the discipline inspection department is here, our factory has been sealed, the issue of the raw materials exceeding the toxic substance standard has been exposed, now customers are canceling orders one after another, requiring triple compensation for losses, and the tax bureau is here to check the accounts.” 

Hearing the news, Ray’s face went ashen, his heart aching intensely. He clutched his chest, gritting his teeth to ask, “How on earth did the disciplinary department find out? How come they’re only telling me about such a big deal now?” 

Everything came too fast and furious. Ray could sense things were going south. 

The factory was already not doing well, he took a gamble to cut costs, but instead of making profits, he ended up losing more. 

“What should we do now, boss?” The employee on the other end of the line was obviously at a loss. 

“I’m coming over now” Ray hung up the phone, took a few steps and suddenly felt dizzy. His vision blurred and fainted on the ground. 

“Dad.” Cason immediately rushed to his side. 

Amanda was also taken aback by the sudden turn of events, her face pale. “Ray, don’t scare me like this.” 

Cason revived Ray quickly with some acupressure. 

“Dad, what’s going on?” Cason asked anxiously. 

“Cason, our factory is under investigation. The clients are demanding returns and asking for triple compensation. This is a crisis for the Kirkwood family. Cason, do you have any connections that can help? You’re a lawyer, you know the law, what should we do now?” 

Ray saw Cason as his last straw. 

Cason was also struggling with his own problems and he was barely hanging on. 

“Dad, my law firm is also under investigation.” Cason collapsed onto the couch. 

Ray was fuming. “We can’t afford to pay a penny of this compensation. Who the hell is trying to screw over the Kirkwood family?” 

Cason had a sudden realization. It was no coincidence that both the Kirkwood factory and his law firm were in trouble at the same time. 

Who was attacking them from behind the scenes? 

Cason’s first thought was Herman, but he quickly dismissed the idea. Herman was still in the police station, just a regular employee, he couldn’t possibly have such power.
