The Bound Between Us

Chapter 887

Herman tried calling Anastasia again. This time, her phone was off.

She never turned off her phone. Ever since she became a mom, unless her

battery died, her phone always stayed on. Even if she was furious with him, she'd

ignore his calls, but she wouldn't just switch the thing off.

He remembered seeing her phone at full charge before she left. It'd barely been

two hours. No way the battery was dead.

A cold dread settled in his gut.

Three unanswered calls later, Herman's worry turned into certainty: something

was wrong.

He called Monica, hoping maybe Anastasia had gone to her. No luck-Monica

hadn't seen her either.

gate. They said Mrs. Salstrom left in a taxi, headed north."

"Find out that taxi's license plate. Now," Herman ordered, his voice sharp. "And

get Dailey over here."

But the car had left right from the banquet entrance, just outside the cameras'

reach. None of the guards got the plate number. Tracking her by the taxi was

probably pointless.

Herman quickly tried to locate Anastasia's phone.
