Calliope and Silas grabbed dinner together at a cozy downtown diner. Over burgers and fries, their conversation inevitably turned to Yvette and whatever scheme she might be cooking up.
“So, from the way she’s acting, it looks like she’s dead set on having you, huh?” Calliope teased, a playful glint in her eyes as she took a sip of her milkshake. “You didn’t leave any dirty secrets lying around for her to dig up, did you?”
Silas chuckled, shaking his head. “Me? Please. Even if she did have something on me, what’s she gonna do? I’m not exactly the type to get pushed around. Trust me, if she tried to blackmail me, she’d be the one regretting it.”
Calliope nodded, realizing Silas wasn’t someone you could intimidate easily. If anyone tried to threaten him, he’d probably turn the tables in a heartbeat.
Still, Yvette seemed awfully sure of herself, strutting around like she had Silas eating out of her hand. That kind of confidence didn’t just come from nowhere. Did she really have something up her sleeve?
Calliope couldn’t quite figure it out, but honestly, she couldn’t be bothered to overthink it. They had a plan: let Yvette make her move, see what cards she thought she was holding.
After all, Yvette was just Gideon’s wife, nothing special in looks or smarts. What made her think she could win Silas over?
The whole idea was almost funny to Calliope. When she first met Silas, she hadn’t even considered flirting with him. She’d just asked for help, that was all. Only later did things get complicated, and she still wasn’t sure how much Silas really cared about her.
But Yvette? She was on a whole other level. She was married to Gideon and still thought she could just toss him aside and end up with Silas. Maybe snagging Gideon away from someone else had given her some kind of weird confidence boost.
Calliope found it all pretty amusing. Maybe she could learn a thing or two about self-assurance from Yvette.
So where did Yvette get this much confidence?
Calliope was dying to know.
It didn’t really matter, though. They’d see soon enough.
When they pulled up to the hotel, Silas made sure Calliope got out first, his hand warm and steady in hers. His eyes softened as he looked at her. “Callie, you know I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for you. You believe me, right?”

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 !!!...
