Calliope and Silas walked into a cozy little diner on the corner, the kind with checkered tablecloths and the warm smell of coffee and pie in the air.
Once they slid into their booth, Calliope looked at Silas, a little suspicious. “I thought you said you had to go on a business trip. What are you doing here?”
Silas gave her a sheepish grin. “I pushed it back. Wasn’t comfortable leaving you here alone.”
He reached across the table, taking her hand for a second. “But after dinner, I really do have to go. Can’t put it off much longer.”
Calliope felt her heart swell a little. She knew the folks from the Jewell family couldn’t really do anything to her, but Silas worrying anyway meant the world to her. It was nice, having someone who cared that much.
The waitress came by, and Silas ordered all Calliope’s favorites—crispy fried chicken, mashed potatoes with gravy, and a slice of apple pie for dessert. He even poured her coffee just the way she liked it, with two sugars and a splash of cream, smiling at her like she was the only person in the room.
The more time she spent with Silas, the harder it was to resist his quiet charm.
After they finished eating, Calliope nudged him. “Go on, get out of here. I’ll be fine. I promise.”
Silas lingered for a moment, but she waved him off, insisting she could handle herself.
If the Jewell family wanted trouble, they’d be the ones running scared, not her. Truth was, she just didn’t feel like stooping to their level.
Once Silas left, Calliope wasn’t expecting to run into Fleur and Yvette strolling down Main Street, shopping bags in hand. They looked like they’d been having a pretty good time together lately. It’s funny, considering their history.

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......
