Salome’s POV

“Hey, Salome,” Clementine said as soon as she picked up.

I stood near the entrance of the hotel restaurant, my thumb hovering over the screen. I had intended to tell her I couldn't make our meeting, but the upbeat tone in her voice stopped me. Around me, the lobby hummed with the sound of suitcases rolling over marble and distant piano music. Tabitha was already waiting at a table inside, watching me through the glass doors with a curious expression.

    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 see

    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

    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“Get your hands off me right now or I am calling the police.”Barnabas ignored me, his movements fueled by a sharp, jagged intensity. He lunged forward, his fingers snagging the collar of my shirt. He yanked the fabric downward, exposing my collarbone. His gaze locked onto the three red marks against my skin, and his face twisted into a mask of pure fury.“You are a whore.”He gripped my upper arms, his fingers digging into my flesh with brutal force. A sharp gasp tore from my throat as the world tilted. He squeezed tighter, and for a terrifying second, I felt as if he might snap the bones.“I said, get off!”I swung my hand and smacked his cheek. The sound was loud in the small hotel room. Barnabas stumbled back, his hold slackening, but he recovered instantly. He lunged again, pulling my body flush against his chest. His cologne hit me like a physical blow, a suffocating, familiar scent that made my stomach churn. I pushed against his chest, but he was like a brick wall

    Salome’s POV“You need to listen to me, Salome, because I am not leaving until you do.”I stared at the man standing in my doorway. My brain refused to process reality. It should have been a normal morning, but Barnabas was ruining that. His hair looked like he had run his hands through it a hundred times, and the dark circles under his eyes made him look like a ghost. I tried to slam the door, but he blocked it with his shoulder. The wood groaned under the pressure.I backed away, putting the small coffee table between us. My heart hammered against my ribs. I thought about the night before, about the way Jeremiah looked at me, and suddenly my current situation felt even more suffocating. I needed to focus. I needed to get Barnabas out of my room before I lost my composure.“You have no right to be here,” I said. My voice sounded steady, even if my hands were shaking. I hid them in the pockets of my robe. “Get out.”Barnabas ignored me. He walked further into the room, his eyes scanni

    “You think he actually expected payment?” Clementine asked, her voice sharp with disbelief. “Neither of you works the streets. That is not how your relationship functions.”I shifted on the sofa, pulling my legs toward my chest. “I know how it sounds. But he mentioned it. The money was his idea, not mine.”Clementine squinted at me, her gaze steady and skeptical. “Are you certain? Repeat exactly what he said.”I tried to pull the moment back into focus. It felt like trying to hold onto water. Every time I gripped a specific word or phrase, it dissolved. My head felt heavy and clouded.“I cannot,” I whispered. “I had a shot of whiskey before we kissed. It was all a blur.”Clementine’s nose wrinkled. “You hate whiskey. You never drink it.”“It is a long story,” I said. “Tonight was just strange.”We fell into a heavy silence. I stared at the floor, picking at a loose thread on the sofa cushion. My mind kept looping back to the kiss. The initial adrenaline was gone, leaving behind a thic
