The Bound Between Us

Chapter 291

When Anastasia got off work and walked into her community, she didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary. She waved at the security guard at the entrance before making her way down the community path by herself.

Her phone rang. It was a call from her mom in Willowbrook.

Anastasia was just about to answer it when she noticed a shadow on the ground. Before she could react, someone covered her mouth from behind. Anastasia was scared out of her wits and struggled, but a man’s hand held her tight, immobilizing her. Soon, she gradually lost consciousness, and her phone slipped out of her

hand.

A cloth covering her mouth was soaked in ether, causing her to pass out.

After Anastasia fainted, the man quickly carried her into a car parked nearby, picking up her fallen phone in the process.

That man was Harmon.

After causing trouble at the bar, Harmon had been locked up for a few days. He was not willing to let it go, blaming all the problems on Anastasia.
