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 expressi

  • Signed, Sealed, I’m Rich: The Rejected Luna’s Multi-Billion    Chapter 243

    Salome’s POV“You have to promise me this is real life,” I said, a bubble of nervous laughter escaping my chest.Jeremiah watched me, his eyes dark and unreadable. He reached out and pinched the skin on my arm. It was a sharp, quick sting. I winced but couldn’t stop the smile from stretching across my face.“Does that feel like a dream?” he asked.The car hummed as we rolled to a stop at a red light. Richard, sitting in the driver’s seat, glanced at us through the rearview mirror. His expression was stern, though a hint of amusement played at the corners of his mouth.“Hey, you two,” Richard said. “Keep your hands where I can see them.”Jeremiah chuckled. The sound was low and vibrated against my shoulder. “Salome is the one who can’t keep her hands off me, Richard. Maybe I should start charging her for all this attention.”I froze. The playfulness in his voice felt sharp now. It took me back to the night before, to the awkward moment when he had asked me for money. The memory hit me

    Salome’s POV"Why would you pay a million dollars just to sit next to someone?" I asked.Jeremiah didn't blink. He kept his dark eyes locked on mine. The air in the car felt heavy and tight. "Because the view is worth every cent."My stomach flipped. I leaned back against the leather seat, but there was nowhere to go. He was too close. The smell of his cologne filled my nose, making it hard to think straight. I bit the inside of my cheek to stop myself from saying something stupid. He was always doing this. One minute he was a brick wall, and the next he was saying things that made my heart race. I hated the games. I hated not knowing where I stood.I shifted, crossing my arms over my chest to put some distance between us. My mouth tasted stale from my nap. I reached into my bag, pulled out a pack of gum, and unwrapped a piece. I stared out the window, watching the bright neon signs of New York blur past us."Everything alright?" he asked.I didn't answer right away. I looked toward t

    Salome’s POV“It is a relief that the worst of this is over,” Jeremiah said. He kept his voice steady. “You do not have to deal with Portia’s schemes anymore.”“Only on visiting days,” I replied. I tried to keep my tone light, but the words felt heavy in the air.Caspian let out a sharp, jagged laugh. He looked at us for a long moment, then nodded his thanks. The tension between us was thick, but there was nowhere to put it.Jeremiah and I turned and began walking down the sidewalk. Our arms brushed against each other with every step. I was acutely aware of the contact. I knew he was feeling it too. It was a small, intentional friction, a way to anchor ourselves in the middle of a chaotic day. I didn't pull away.As we rounded the corner, Pippa and Adam came into view. My chest tightened. Pippa was slumped on a bench, her shoulders shaking. Adam had one arm around her, his face grim.“I need justice for my boy,” Pippa wailed. Her voice was raw and cracked. She buried her face in her h

    Portia’s POV“You think a badge makes you a king in this room, but you are just another man holding a folder.”I pushed the paper coffee cup toward the center of the table. The plastic lid rattled. My hands were steady, but the tips of my fingers felt numb. Across from me, Detective Miller did not blink. He stood with his back to the observation mirror, his shadow stretching long and thin across the linoleum floor.He leaned down. The smell of stale peppermint and cheap coffee clung to his uniform.“You talk big for someone facing life in a cage,” Miller said. He flipped a page in his file. “Let’s talk about the villa. The one your parents bought specifically for your little extracurricular activities.”I stared at his chin. I refused to look at his eyes. “I have nothing to say until my lawyer arrives.”“Your lawyer is stuck in traffic, and your mother is three rooms down, currently sobbing to my partner about your mental state.” Miller pulled a photograph from the folder and slid it

    Portia’s POV"If you don't step up and help your sister now, there won't be a family left to save."The sharp edge of my mother's voice cut through the sterile hospital air. My brother muttered something low in response, his footsteps fading as they walked out of the room. I stayed still, waiting for the silence to settle. Five minutes passed before the low, pulsing wail of a siren drifted through the window.My heart hammered against my ribs. I threw the thin hospital blanket aside and searched the room. My mother had hidden my phone. I checked the nightstand, then the bathroom, and finally reached behind a heavy blue water jug in the corner. My fingers brushed the cool plastic. I pulled it out and tapped the screen.I opened Barnabas’s contact and hit call.Voicemail.I tried again. Then a third time. My thumb hovered over the screen, trembling. I called five more times, but every single one went straight to his recorded greeting. A cold knot of dread formed in my stomach.Heavy foo

    Caspian’s POV“You have got to be joking.” I stared at Mom, waiting for the punchline, but her face remained stone-cold. “After everything? Portia played you for a fool with that fake pregnancy, and you are still in her corner? Mom, she used your biggest dream against you. She does not care about you. She does not care about anyone but herself.”Mom let out a slow, jagged breath. She smoothed the fabric of her skirt, trying to pull herself together. “Stop. We are not picking sides. The three of us are family. We have to watch each other’s backs. What happened in the past is done. We only have today.”The air in the room turned heavy. We sat in silence until Portia shifted on the bed. She winced, propping herself up against the pillows, and groaned. She looked at Mom, her eyes pleading. “Please. Just hand me my phone. I need to call Barnabas. He will fix this. I do not need Caspian breathing down my neck. I just need my future husband.”I felt my lip curl. It was pathetic. “Why are you

    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
