Silas’s face darkened instantly. He looked downright annoyed.
Monty shot Zelda a glare. “What on earth are you talking about, Zelda? That’s not your place to say! This is Callie’s home. It’s Silas’s home, too. They’re free to stay wherever they want, pick any room they like. Every room is theirs for the choosing.”
He wouldn’t dare cross Calliope now, not to mention Silas. Either one of them could make his life hell.
And Zelda’s words? If Silas took them the wrong way, he’d probably think the family didn’t want him here.
“Silas, don’t pay her any mind. This is your home, too.”
Silas ignored Monty, his eyes cool as he glanced at Horatio and the others.
Valerian, meanwhile, was in a fantastic mood. Calliope had promised to give him the car he’d been daydreaming about but could never afford. Now even Silas seemed like the best brother-in-law in the world.
“Hey, Silas, make yourself at home, man!” Valerian grinned. “You’re Callie’s husband, which makes you our brother-in-law. We’re glad to have you here!”
Horatio nodded. “We’re all family. No need for formalities.”
Just then, a housekeeper entered with a man in tow. “Ma’am, sir, this gentleman’s brought a new family portrait. Would you like it hung up?”
The housekeeper glanced at the old portrait hanging on the wall. That one didn’t have Calliope in it, but it’d been up there for years.
This new photo was all of them, with Calliope front and center.
The housekeeper wasn’t sure if it should replace the old one or just get tucked away somewhere.
“Take the old one down and hang this one up,” Monty said without hesitation.
Everyone was gathered around, admiring the new portrait. She hadn’t noticed at first, but when she followed their gaze, her face went pale.
The family portrait had been changed! The old one with her in it was gone, replaced by a new photo—Calliope front and center, Lisette nowhere to be seen.
“When did you take this?” Lisette’s voice trembled.
They hadn’t even invited her? Had they just… cast her out? She’d already had a rough day at work, now this?
“It was while you were… away,” Calliope said, meeting Lisette’s eyes. “It’s not that we didn’t want you in the photo. But you were the one who locked yourself away, remember? Can’t really blame us for that, can you?”
She returned Lisette’s old words to her, word for word.

The readers' comments on the novel: A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust
Oh wrestling expert ey? So is this Khamzat Chimaev or Shavkat Rakhmonov? Because Khabib's would be too haram....
Oh no. Million is just mix of Conor McGregor, Islam Makhachev, Mike Tyson, Max Holloway, Anderson Silva... I bet he lands 5sec flying knees like Jorge Masvidal too. Oh nope, 1sec knees. And has faster left hooks than Alex Pereira. Definitely would win UFC championship in every weight division including women. Poor Zhang Weili....
Okay so.... Million is now from East. Arctic wolf from East, modified genetically so he can manage his own Instagram and probably also box like Mike Tyson and snapping left hooks like Alex Pereira....
This is starting to be the same twister of abilities as Cassandra Yates and Tiffany. But question is, why the hell Silas can't just open his mouth and tell Caliope that she's the one whom he has in his heart. He would prevent a lot of misunderstanding. Seems like despite capability of talking with modified arctic wolf, she's not like telepathic....
Oh no, so FL is again another hidden genius with both hemispheres working on hundreds... Ffffuuuu. Cassandra Yates and Tiffany were already enough, ughugh. And Tiffany was even more exaggerated than Cassandra....
That's weird, in the first chapters there was said that her bio parents and bros doteď on Caliope but then they adopted Lisette, but this chapter suddenly says otherwise. Did author forget what he wrote?...
I REALLLYYY REALLLYYYY REALLYYYYYY WANT TO SLAP THE 3 BROTHERS WHENEVER THEY OPEN THEIR MOUTH !!! AND THEIR MOM !!!...
Why has this not been updated ?? there were 5 more chapters which was released and it has not been updated.. Please do update on regular basis......
