The Bound Between Us

Chapter 96
Monica’s call finally went through.
Anastasia heard Monica’s voice from the other end of the line but didn’t know how to begin
“Ana? Ana?”
Monica asked through the phone, “What’s up with you? Why are you calling me bright and early and then not saying anything?
Did something happen? Did Herman do something to you?”
“Yes!” Anastasia responded softly
Monica, on the other side of the line, immediately snapped, “Ana, tell me what that jerk did to you. I’m on my way to the beauty
salon right now, but I’ll ditch that and come to you”
Monica was a woman of action. Twenty minutes later, Anastasia’s doorbell rang.
Anastasia opened the door, her walk was a little strange due to some intense activity prior
Monica noticed immediately, and fearing that Anastasia had been hurt, she anxiously asked, “Ana, did Herman hit you? Does he
have violent tendencies?” “He didn’t hit the “Anastasia replied, worried that if Monica kept quessing, she might call the cops on
Herman. She blushed as she said, “Monica, I didn’t bleed during you know”
Monica didn’t catch on at first and asked loudly, “What do you mean you didn’t bleed?”
“You know that thing Anastasia’s face turned even redder.
Finally understanding, Monica couldn’t contain her excitement, Ana, did you and Herman finally?”
Anastasia nodded, and Monica burst with joy. “I knew it! You’re too beautiful for him to resist. You’ve got Herman wrapped
around your finger now. You’re set, and I can stop worrying”
Monica had put in a lot of effort to get them together. She was relieved to finally hear that they were a thing
If Herman really considered Anastasia his woman now, there was no way he could escape.
Anastasia had basically secured her position as Herman’s wife. If she had a child, her position would be unshakable

Anastasia didn’t quite understand Monica’s implications and was a bit confused to see Monica more excited than she was.
Thinking about the lack of bleeding, Anastasia anxiously said. “Monica, isn’t a woman supposed to bleed the first time you know?
I didn’t. Will Herman misunderstand?
Monica was brought back to reality, she had forgotten about that
“Did Herman react in any way when you didn’t bleed?”
Anastasia thought about Herman’s reaction, “He didn’t react. He just took a shower, kissed me, and went to work.”
Monica grew a bit worried when she heard that he didn’t react. “What’s Herman trying to imply? Doesn’t he care?”
In today’s society, who didn’t have a past lover? Finding a virgin nowadays might require the girl to have been groomed since
childhood. Didn’t Herman have a past lover? This kind of thing was pretty acceptable in today’s society
So Monica reassured her, “Ana, not all women bleed their first time, that’s a fact. If Herman didn’t react, he probably thinks it’s
normal. Don’t overthink it ” Anastasia had also looked it up online and found that such situations were possible. But she was still
worried it might lead to misunderstandings. Anastasia, still somewhat puzzled, told Monica about what Cason had said before.
“Cason said some nonsense last time. He claimed I dropped out of school for another man and said some nasty things. That’s
why Herman couldn’t help but beat him up.”
Monica was taken aback. How did Cason know?
Anastasia did drop out of school because of another man, a man whose identity even Anastasia herself didn’t know.
Anastasia’s first time was taken away by that unknown man.
Years ago, after Cason went abroad for studies, Salma had a car accident. Money was needed for surgery and treatment.
Anastasia earned money through part-time jobs and followed her classmates to a club to work
That was when Anastasia was drugged. When she woke up, she had no memory of what had happened.
It wasn’t unther belly started to grow that she realized she was pregnant, but by then it was too late.
