Salome’s POV

“Do you want a bite?” I asked.

I held out the snack, my fingers trembling just enough to be noticeable. I kept my voice steady, aiming for a neutral tone that wouldn’t set him off. I wanted a way back to calm. I wanted him to take the food and just let the tension in the air evaporate.

Jeremiah didn't move. He didn't even blink. He looked at the food in my hand, then shifted his gaze to my eyes. His expression remained flat, a mask I still couldn't read after all this time.

  • Signed, Sealed, I’m Rich: The Rejected Luna’s Multi-Billion    Chapter 253

    Salome’s POV“You really think he’s going to break?” I asked, keeping my voice low as we stepped into the hospital corridor.Jeremiah chuckled, a dry sound that didn't reach his eyes. “He is already broken. He just doesn’t know it yet.”I couldn’t stop the smirk from spreading. Inside that room, Ben had been a frantic mess, his face flushing a deep, ugly red as he clawed at his sheets, trying to lung at us. He was tied to that bed by his own incompetence, and the photos in Jeremiah’s possession were a leash that would pull tight whenever Jeremiah decided to jerk the cord. Ben’s threats about ruining us had sounded like a dying animal’s yelp.Jeremiah guided me toward the elevators. The hospital halls were loud, filled with the squeak of rubber soles and the hum of monitors. He stayed close, his hand resting firmly on the small of my back to steer me through the crowd.“You caught him perfectly,” I said, side-stepping a nurse who was busy checking a chart. “But how did you even know wh

  • Signed, Sealed, I’m Rich: The Rejected Luna’s Multi-Billion    Chapter 252

    Salome’s POV“Are you planning to leave those on his grave, or is he still breathing?” I asked, keeping my voice low as the nurse hurried down the hall.Jeremiah didn’t break his stride. “Let’s see if he’s still with us.”The nurse stopped in front of a heavy door, her eyes fixed on the floor. She looked like she wanted to run. She pushed the door open and retreated before we could even thank her. The room smelled like industrial cleaner and stale air.Ben Wilde sat propped up in the center of the bed. He was a mess. A thick bandage ringed his head, and his right leg was suspended in a heavy traction cast. His face was a map of purple and yellow bruising, his eyes swollen into thin, dark slits.I let out a sharp, jagged laugh. It wasn’t polite, and I did not care.Ben’s head snapped toward us. His gaze locked onto the bouquet in Jeremiah’s hand. His nostrils flared. “Why the hell did you bring those?”Jeremiah ignored him and stepped forward. He placed the chrysanthemums on the rollin

    “Are you planning on dying, or are you just here to ruin my morning?”Jeremiah didn’t blink. He just stared at me, his eyes narrowing to sharp points. I held my breath, wishing I could reach out and snatch the words back. The silence in the office stretched, heavy and thick. Finally, he stood up, walked to his desk, and sank into his leather chair.He laced his fingers together and leveled his gaze at me. “I never said a cat bit me. Arthur saw my neck when I got home last night. He made an assumption because I stayed out late. He must have told Benedict.”I knew better than to push. He wouldn’t go to a hospital for a rabies shot he didn’t need. He dragged me into his office because he wanted the gossip chain broken. I remembered how he looked when he found out I had been whispering to Benedict about him and Naomi. He hated being the topic of office conversation.“So you actually have to go to the hospital?” I asked.“I do.”My stomach dropped. Every dark thought I had spent weeks push

    Salome’s POV"Are you going to tell me why I’m actually here, or should I prepare myself for a round of rabies shots?"I held my breath, waiting for the reaction. Jeremiah stood by the floor-to-ceiling glass of his office, his back to the room. The morning light caught the sharp line of his shoulders beneath his white dress shirt. He had ditched his suit jacket, and the sight of those broad, tense muscles made my pulse kick against my ribs.He didn't turn around immediately. He kept his thumbs moving over his phone screen for a long beat. When he finally looked at me, his face was a mask of cold efficiency. The man staring me down now, clean-shaven and detached, felt nothing like the version of him that had haunted my bedroom for the last eight hours.Last night, my own hands had been a poor substitute for his. Every time I closed my eyes, I felt his weight. Every time I reached for a phantom touch, I whispered his name into the empty dark. Now, seeing him in his element, that heat re

  • Signed, Sealed, I’m Rich: The Rejected Luna’s Multi-Billion    Chapter 249

    Salome's POV“You’re playing a dangerous game, Jeremiah, and I think you know exactly what you’re doing.”I paced the living room, my heels clicking sharply against the floor. Every time I looked at him, the air in the room felt thinner. He was sitting on the sofa, his posture relaxed, eyes tracking my every movement like a predator watching a rabbit. My skin prickled. I hated how much space he occupied, how he filled the room until there was nothing left of me.“I’m just sitting here, Salome,” he said. His voice was low, smooth, and entirely too calm. “You’re the one running laps.”I stopped dead, glaring at him. “I’m not running. I’m thinking.”“About what?”“About how you need to leave.”I turned my back on him and retreated toward the kitchen. The kitchen felt like a safe harbor, a place where I could breathe without his eyes burning into my skin. I reached for the fridge, pulling the door open just to feel the rush of cold air against my flushed face. The light from inside the un

    Salome’s POV“Do you actually enjoy the taste of mint, or are you just testing how much I’m willing to put up with today?”Jeremiah didn't blink. He just watched me with those steady, unreadable eyes. He stood in my kitchen like he owned the floorboards, looking entirely too comfortable for a man who had brought so much chaos into my life.“I enjoy mint,” he said. His voice was flat. Serious.I shook my head, fighting the urge to roll my eyes. It was ridiculous. Here I was, trying to keep things civil, trying to be the bigger person, and he was sending me on a scavenger hunt for herbs I didn't even keep in my pantry. I forced a polite smile, the kind I used for difficult clients.“I’m fresh out of mint, but I can do lemon. Is that going to be a problem?”He gave a slight shrug. “Lemon is fine.”I turned my back to him to busy myself at the counter. It was better than looking at him. If I looked at him too long, the reasons I needed to keep him at arm’s length started to get fuzzy. I s

    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
