“I am catching the first flight back to New York,” I said. I didn't care how it sounded. I just needed to leave this place and the mess that came with it.
I grabbed the handle of my suitcase, ready to lug it away, but a heavy palm clamped down over my fingers.
“Wait,” Jeremiah said.
I tried to yank the bag free, but his grip was like iron. “Let go, Jeremiah. I’m tired, I’m frustrated, and I want to go hom

Salome’s POV“So, you’re just going to pretend I’m not standing here?” I asked, my voice echoing slightly in the quiet of Arthur’s living room.Jeremiah didn't look up immediately. He sat on the edge of the sofa, his posture perfect, looking every bit the man who ran half the city. He didn't acknowledge the bite in my tone. Instead, he just nodded toward me once, a gesture so brief it felt like a dismissal.I shifted my weight, suddenly very aware of the thin white shirt I was wearing. I hadn't bothered with a bra before running over here, and under his cold, analytical gaze, I felt exposed. I crossed my arms tightly over my chest, trying to hide my discomfort behind a wall of fake professionalism.“Good evening, Mr. President,” I added.I leaned into the title, hoping the formality would irritate him as much as his silence was irritating me. It didn't work. His eyebrows twitched upward, but he went right back to the book in his lap.The heat of genuine anger started to prickle at my

Salome’s POV“You’re right, this whole trip to Luceland would be a total waste of time if we don’t have a specific target,” I said, letting my shoulders drop as the reality sank in.Clementine didn’t answer right away. She tapped a finger against her bottom lip, her eyes darting back and forth while she worked through a thought. Suddenly, her face lit up. That familiar spark of mischief and brilliance took over her expression.My heart gave a little hopeful kick in my chest. I knew that expression. “You’ve got something. I can see it on your face.”She pulled her shoulders back and gave me a smug, satisfied grin. She held the silence for a second, clearly enjoying the suspense she was building.I stepped closer and grabbed her hands in mine, giving them a small squeeze. “Don't do this to me, Clementine. Just say it.”“We don’t look for it ourselves,” she said, her voice full of confidence. “We trick Portia into telling us exactly where the body is. Or better yet, we get her to lead us

Salome’s POV“You’re already up?” Clementine asked, her voice muffled by the thick wood of my apartment door.I pulled the door open before she could knock a second time. My feet were bare on the cold floor, and I had a grin on my face that I couldn't quite shake. “We’re on the same page. We’ve always been on the same page.”Clementine stepped inside, the morning air clinging to her coat. I’d already been busy. The scent of a fresh brew filled the kitchen, the dark, nutty aroma usually being my favorite part of the day. I grabbed a clean mug and filled it to the brim for her.“Muffin?” I asked, sliding a small plate toward her with a chocolate chip treat I’d grabbed from the bakery down the street.“You’re a lifesaver,” she said, taking a long, appreciative sip of the coffee. She paused, her brows knitting together as she looked at my empty hands. “Wait, where’s yours? You never skip your morning caffeine.”I instinctively pressed a hand against my stomach. A sharp, rolling wave of na

Salome’s POV“You’re still awake,” Richard said, his voice cutting through the quiet of the apartment lobby.I nearly jumped out of my skin. I had been rushing from my car to the front door, my keys already out and ready. My heart hammered against my ribs like a trapped bird. When I realized it was just Richard standing there in the shadows, I let out a breath that tasted like pure anxiety.“You scared the life out of me,” I said, pressing a hand to my chest. I looked him up and down, taking in his casual posture. “What are you doing here at two in the morning?”Richard didn't look tired at all. He offered a small, calm smile and lifted a large cardboard box that looked heavy. “A little bird mentioned you were feeling under the weather. I brought reinforcements from the clinic.”I froze. A dull, throbbing ache twisted in my gut, reminding me why I’d been out driving in circles looking for an open pharmacy in the first place. My mind started to reel. How did he know? I hadn’t told anyo

Salome’s POV“I promise I will never cause you unnecessary stress again,” Jeremiah said.His voice sounded rough and low in the quiet office. He stood close enough that I could feel the heat coming off his body.“I know your life is hard enough without me making it worse,” he continued.He swallowed hard. I watched the movement of his throat. It was such a small, human thing, but I couldn’t look away. I felt a strange pulse of energy between us.“I don’t want to be the reason you worry, Salome. I want to bring you peace.”I let out a soft breath I didn’t know I was holding. My legs felt weak, like they might give out if I moved too fast. My skin prickled with a sudden chill. This didn’t sound like a boss talking to an assistant. It sounded like a confession, or maybe a warning.Jeremiah exhaled slowly and looked up at the ceiling. He broke the eye contact that had been

Salome’s POV“Eat your rice, Salome, you look pale,” my mother said, her voice cutting through the quiet hum of the dining room.I looked down at the bowl. The steam rising from the white grains made my throat tighten. Every bite I had forced down felt like a lead weight in my gut. I wasn't hungry. I was exhausted, and the pressure of pretending everything was fine felt like a physical sickness. I didn't want to be here. I didn't want to be the daughter who just nodded and smiled while my insides churned.I set my chopsticks down against the ceramic edge with a sharp click. The sound was louder than I intended, but I didn't care. I pushed the bowl away, the wood of the table scraping under the pressure.“I am finished,” I said. My voice was flat, lacking the polite warmth they expected. “I have work to finish back at the office.”I didn't wait for a reply. I stood up and walked out, my hand instinctively pr

Salome’s POV“Is this for me, or are you just trying to look like a generous person?” Jeremiah asked, a small smile playing on his lips.I felt my face heat up instantly. “No, I really did get it for you. I figured you hadn't eaten yet today, and I didn't wan
