Chapter 1028


Anastasia realized that with the way Hanna cared about Rowan, there was no way she would just call and not come check on him at the jail. That wasn't Hanna at all-if she hadn't shown up, something must have gone wrong.

Anastasia and Rowan exchanged a glance. Rowan said, "I need to go back."

Sensing something was off, Rowan jumped into his car and sped toward the clinic. He tried calling Hanna, but she didn't answer.

Rowan's anxiety grew.

Anastasia was still bewildered. She knew something serious had happened at the prison-Rowan was clearly in the clear, but now Hanna's disappearance was the

real mystery.

Following Rowan down the mountain, Anastasia called Herman and explained, "Rowan's fine, but there were gunshots at the prison. Something must've happened..."

"Something did," Herman replied, voice tense. "Dailey just called. Asher tried to escape he was shot and killed during the attempt."

The words hit Anastasia like a punch to the chest. She slammed on the brakes, heart pounding.

Clutching her phone, she stared at the car ahead-Rowan's car-wondering how she'd ever break this news to him.

She heard Herman's footsteps on the other end. "Babe, you still there? Are you near the prison? I'll come get you."

"I'm already on my way back," Anastasia managed, steadying her nerves. "Let's meet at Carrefour on Machao Road."
