“Where do you want to head for food?” I asked, spinning around with a smile.
The cool night air felt good against my skin for the few seconds I was alone. I had slipped out of the station doors to get a moment of peace while the others were occupied. I heard the rhythmic thud of boots on the pavement behind me and assumed Jeremiah had finished his call.
The smile died the second I saw who was actually standing there.
Barnabas stood a

“You hungry, or are you just going to sit there and glare at the wall all morning?”Clementine leaned against the doorframe, her voice hitting a pitch that made my teeth ache. I pulled my robe tighter, shielding myself from the morning chill, though it did nothing to hide the marks on my neck. I hadn't touched the concealer yet.“I’m not hungry,” I said. My voice sounded flat even to me. “I’m still annoyed about breakfast. You saw Barnabas cornering me. You saw him practically forcing me to sit with him, and you didn't say a word.”Clementine shifted, her heels clicking against the floor as she walked toward the vanity. She didn't meet my eyes. She busied herself with a hairbrush, her movements jerky. “That’s because Richard was - ”“It’s fine,” I interrupted. I didn't want to hear about Richard. I didn't want to hear about any of them.She stopped brushing. Her gaze drifted to my throat, then traveled upward to lock onto mine. She smirked, a slow, knowing thing that made my skin crawl

Salome’s POV“Do you think I am just some game you can play when you feel lonely?”Jeremiah leaned over the table. The morning light hit his face, sharp and unforgiving. He did not look like the man who had held me last night. His jaw was locked tight. He set his coffee cup down with a controlled thud that silenced the nearby clatter of silverware.I stared at my omelet. The yellow eggs looked rubbery. My stomach felt like a knot of tight wire. I wanted to tell him he was wrong, but the memory of how I had pulled away from him only hours ago stopped the words in my throat.“I stopped things last night because I did not want to take advantage of you,” he said. His voice was low. It carried across the small gap between us like a physical weight. “But do not mistake my restraint for weakness. I will not let you use me to fix your own confusion. If you want us to be together, you need to be sure. I will not be a temporary fix for your mood.”My pulse thrummed in my fingertips. He reached o

Salome’s POV“You need to leave before I lose my patience.”The words were low, but they cut through the noise of the cafe like a blade. Barnabas stood up. He did not look at me. He shoved his chair back with enough force to make the people at the next table jump. He turned on his heel and walked out the door without a backward glance. He left his tea untouched. The steam rose in a thin, shaky ribbon before fading into the stale air of the room.I let out a breath I had been holding for twenty minutes. My shoulders dropped. The fabric of my shirt felt damp against my back where I had been sweating. Barnabas had always been a man who liked to control the room, but this felt different. There was a jagged, unpredictable edge to his movements that I had never seen when we were married. I wondered if he had truly snapped. I wondered what he would do the next time he decided to corner me.I looked down at my hands. They were trembling.Jeremiah did not stand up. He did not chase after the dr

Salome’s POV“So, are you going to keep staring at the entrance, or are you actually going to order?”I looked at Richard, hoping he could tell me how to get out of this. He didn’t even glance my way. His eyes stayed locked on the restaurant door, his mouth pulled into a tight, expectant line. I turned my head to see what he was waiting for.My breath hitched.Jeremiah walked in. He looked like he was walking into a war zone. His jaw was locked, his eyes were flat, and his hands hung at his sides like lead weights.Great. Perfect.I was stuck at a table with my ex-husband, Barnabas, and now I had to face the man I had slept with only hours ago. My skin prickled. I wanted to crawl under the table and disappear.Barnabas’s grip on my hand tightened. It was a bruise-inducing squeeze. I pulled, trying to yank my fingers free, but he held on like a vice.“You want to run now?” Barnabas leaned in, his voice a low, jagged rasp. “Afraid your new boyfriend is going to lose his mind when he sees

Clementine’s POV“Sit down,” Richard said, his hand heavy on my shoulder as he pressed me back into the chair. “Let the man do his job.”I leaned in, a tight grin pulling at my lips. “I like how you think.”Richard held his phone up, framing Salome and Barnabas in a perfect shot. He snapped the photo and tapped the screen with intent. I watched him type a caption and hit send.Aiden leaned over the table, his eyes wide. I caught his gaze and felt my own jaw drop.“Are you trying to get Jeremiah killed?” I whispered, keeping my voice low. “He is going to lose his mind when he sees that.”Richard did not look up, but his thumb hovered over the screen. His fingers trembled just a little. “That is the point. We want them together, right? Sometimes you have to push people over the edge.”Aiden stared at him. I stared at him. The air at our table suddenly felt very thin.Across the room, Barnabas pulled Salome against him. Her shoulders hunched. I saw her jaw tighten, that tiny twitch near h

Salome’s POV“Do you really think you can be happy playing second fiddle to Jeremiah for the rest of your life?”Barnabas’s question landed like a stone in the pit of my stomach. He stood too close, his fingers tracing a cold line down my cheek. I pulled away, putting the space of the small hotel room between us. The air felt heavy, suffocating. He was wrong, but the way he said it made the floor feel unstable beneath my feet.I looked at him. He stood there with that practiced, worried expression that used to make my heart race. Now, it just made me tired.“You have a lot of nerve talking about my life,” I said. My voice sounded steady, even if my hands were shaking. I shoved them into my pockets to hide the tremors. “You talk about Jeremiah like you know him. You talk about his family like you know anything about my worth.”Barnabas scoffed. He stepped toward me, his boots clicking on the floor. “I know that a man in his position has expectations, Salome. You are setting yourself up

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

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
