The driver was practically shaking in his seat, especially when he saw all those men piling out of the black SUVs behind them.
“Uh, look, this has nothing to do with me, right? Maybe... you should get out? They’re probably here for you!” he stammered, darting nervous glances at Calliope.
Calliope just stared out the window, silent. Honestly, she didn’t have a clue who these guys were. She didn’t recognize the cars, the men, nothing. She hadn’t pissed anyone off lately, at least not that she knew of. So why on earth would a whole squad of men show up for her in the middle of the night?
“Maybe,” she replied, not entirely convinced herself.
Before she could even open the door, one of the men was already knocking on her window.
The driver, clearly terrified, rolled it down for her.
“Ms. Jewell?” the man asked, peering in.
“That’s me,” Calliope said, giving him a level look. “So, who are you guys, and what do you want?”
It was late, and the whole thing had “bad news” written all over it. Calliope couldn’t help but frown.
“Our boss would like to have a word with you. Would you mind coming with us?” he said, polite enough, but his tone was more “invitation you can’t refuse” than “friendly request.”
“Can I at least know who your boss is?” she asked, genuinely curious. No one she knew would send a whole goon squad to fetch her. If they meant well, they’d have called ahead, right?
“You’ll see when you get there,” the man replied. “Ms. Jewell, please step out of the car. I’m sure you wouldn’t want us to get... forceful.”

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......
