Calliope finished the last slice of her orange and tossed the peel into the trash. She stood up, wiped her hands on her jeans, and fixed Oliver with a look so serious it could slice through stone.
“Mr. Myers, I think we’ve had enough small talk for one day. I’m heading out.”
She paused, eyes narrowing, her tone shifting into something hard and unyielding.
“But before I go, I need to make something crystal clear. Silas is with me now. I’m not going to let anything happen to him, and you’d better not even think about crossing him.”
She folded her arms, chin tipped up in defiance.
“If he doesn’t want something, nobody has the right to force him. And if you even try, well, I won’t be polite about it.”
Calliope’s attitude was fierce, almost cocky. She acted like she had all the confidence in the world, as if she could take on Oliver and win.
Oliver, who’d spent years abroad, was used to people with power. His father-in-law was a legend, his wife formidable, and Oliver himself was the type to make things happen with a word or a wave of his hand. The people around him—friends, family, rivals—were all a little afraid of him. Even strangers could sense the weight he carried.
But not Calliope. Not only was she not scared, she was warning him. As if he was the one who ought to tread carefully.
Oliver could hardly believe it. He felt a surge of irritation, disbelief, and something close to anger. Was this girl actually challenging him? Did she really think she could handle him?
He stared at her, incredulous.
“Listen, kid. You think I’m joking with you? I’m trying to go easy on you because you’re young and probably don’t know any better. But if you really want to push it, you’re not going to like how this ends.”
His voice dropped, eyes narrowing in a way that had sent plenty of people scrambling to get on his good side.
Usually, that was all it took. Most people would stammer out apologies, backpedal, maybe even beg a little.

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......
