Salome’s POV

“You’re ruining my garden for absolutely nothing,” Mrs. Vane screamed, her voice cracking as the paramedics loaded Portia into the ambulance.

I stood by the edge of the dirt path and watched the police. They didn’t look like they cared about her flowers. Two officers had taken shovels from the Vane family bodyguards and were already stabbing into the soft earth. Mrs. Vane tried to step toward them, but an officer blocked her path. Her f

    Maya’s POV“Are you trying to tell me you have a boyfriend, or are you just keeping secrets?”The words hit me like a physical blow. I scrambled upright, my hands fumbling to smooth my dress over my knees. My face burned. I just prayed I had not revealed anything embarrassing when I tumbled. I looked up and saw the change in Jeremiah. The playfulness was gone. He stood over me, his jaw tight, eyes locked onto my phone screen with a look of pure, biting resentment.“Tabitha is not a boyfriend,” I said. My voice sounded thin, but I forced it to stay steady. “Even if she was, it is not your business.”The air between us felt heavy. He was breathing hard, and I could feel my own heart hammering against my ribs. He tossed the phone at me. I caught it, my fingers curling around the cool metal, and exhaled. The tension did not vanish. It just shifted.He picked up the kitten, cradling her against his chest as if she were a shield. “We need to finish this workday,” he said. He did not wait fo

    "Give it here, Jeremiah, right now," I said, my voice tight."You really want to know what she's saying?" Jeremiah tilted his head, his thumb hovering over the screen. He looked at me, then back at the phone, his lips curling into a grin that felt anything but friendly.I stood there in the restroom doorway, my heart hammering against my ribs. I had just spent five minutes splashing ice-cold water on my face, scrubbing at the dark streaks of mascara under my eyes until my skin felt raw. I needed to look composed. I needed to look like someone who wasn't currently falling apart over a conversation about a childhood pet.My reflection in the mirror had been a mess. I had been crying over a hamster. A hamster that had been dead for a decade. It was ridiculous, and now, standing here with my makeup still patchy, I felt exposed in a way that had nothing to do with my face.I scanned the room. Jeremiah stood by the wooden bench, his massive frame dwarfing the small space. He held my phone i

    Salome’s POV“Stay still, little one, I’m not going to hurt you,” I whispered, keeping my voice as steady as possible.The tiny kitten huddled in the furthest, darkest corner under the restaurant bench. Her fur was matted with dust, and her frame looked painfully thin. She let out a high-pitched cry that cut right through the ambient noise of the dining room. I reached a hand toward her, but she scrambled back further, her pupils blown wide with terror.I pulled my hand back and looked at Jeremiah. He was still hunkered down on the hardwood floor, his expensive suit jacket bunched at his shoulders. He didn’t seem to care about the dust or the stares from nearby tables.“She’s terrified,” I said, shifting my weight on my knees. “She’s completely cornered. Do you think she belongs to someone here? Maybe a staff member’s pet?”Jeremiah leaned in, his eyes fixed on the kitten’s shivering form. “I doubt it. Look at her collar. It is empty.”“We need to get her out before someone steps on he

    Salome’s POV“Is there anyone special in your life, Salome?”The question caught me off guard, and I felt the heat rise up my neck and into my cheeks. I stared at Stanley, the older man across the table, unsure how to handle the inquiry. Before I could find my voice, the heavy door to our private room clicked open.Jeremiah and Duke stood in the entrance. Jeremiah looked like a storm cloud. His jaw was locked tight, and his hands hung at his sides in fists. I caught his gaze, and the intensity in his eyes made me want to shrink into my seat.“Back at it again with the matchmaking, Uncle Stanley?” Duke said. He stepped into the room with a wide, easy smile, clearly trying to diffuse the thick tension.Jeremiah did not relax. If anything, he looked more irritated.Duke walked over and draped an arm over Jeremiah’s shoulders, laughing. “Sorry, folks. Jeremiah actually proposed over pad thai ten minutes ago. We are catching a flight to Vegas tonight. You are all invited.”The room erupted

    Luciana’s POV"You really think those people are untouchable?" I asked, my voice barely a whisper.Duke leaned back, his eyes unreadable. "In this city, influence buys more than just silence. It buys a clean slate."I forced a tight smile. "I need some air. Excuse me for a minute."I pushed my chair back, the screech of legs against the floor sounding too loud in the quiet room. I didn't head for the restroom. I walked straight to the patio door. The afternoon air hit my face, cooler than the air inside, though the faint smell of stale tobacco clung to the concrete.I checked over my shoulder. The patio was empty. I pulled my phone out and dialed Clementine. She picked up on the third ring. I kept my voice low, outlining everything Duke had just told me about the ZIKO group and the legal lifeline Portia and her mother had secured."That is bad," Clementine said. Her voice sounded thin, tight with nerves. "I don't know the full extent of the ZIKO group, but the rumors are nasty. People

    Salome’s POV“So, she really stood there and laughed while the cops put them in cuffs?”Jeremiah looked at me across the table. He set his water glass down with a heavy thud. “She did more than laugh. She told us to enjoy our freedom while it lasted. She sounded like she already had the release papers signed.”I pictured the woman. She wore a tailored suit and stood with her back straight, looking at us like we were gum on her shoe. I knew now that she was Portia’s aunt.Duke tapped his wine glass with a fingernail. “I did some digging. That woman is named Hana. And she belongs to the ZIKO society.”The name sounded like nonsense to me. I looked at Jeremiah, but he had gone stiff. The color drained from his face. “That cult group?”“The very same,” Duke said. He leaned in, his voice dropping to a low hum. “Hana has been in their inner circle for years. She carries a lot of weight in that room. My contacts told me she approached both Caspian and Barnabas about joining. She offered them

    Salome’s POV“Does it sting when I apply the pressure here?”Healer Beatrice moved my head to the side with a light touch. The room smelled like lemon cleaner and old herbs. I sat on the hard paper of the exam table while she dabbed at the jagged red line near my hairline.“I’m fine, Beatrice. It’s

    Salome’s POV“Come on, just one more,” Portia said, though her voice lacked its usual sweetness. “I’m only starting to find my rhythm.”I looked at her, then shifted my gaze to Barnabas. He remained a statue, refusing to meet my eyes. Margot stood off to the side, her arms crossed and her mouth set

    Salome’s POV"You aren't letting me win on purpose, are you, Barnabas?"The voice was high, sugary, and carried a flirtatious lilt that made my skin crawl. It drifted through the cracked window of Richardson Manor as I stepped onto the porch at eleven in the morning. I froze, my hand hovering just i

    Salome’s POVThe heavy, metallic scent of cedar and cold rain hit me before I even turned around. I knew that smell. It belonged to the man who was currently ruining my life."You really don't know when to stay away, do you?" Barnabas’s voice was a low growl behind me.I didn't give him the satisfac
