They all blocked the doorway, completely barring Calliope’s way out.
“You’re not leaving this room without my say-so,” Oliver drawled, swirling his whiskey with a lazy flick of his wrist. “And yet here you are, trying to defy me. Bold move.”
He took a slow sip, his eyes never leaving her. “Don’t tell me you’re hoping Silas is going to burst in here and rescue you?”
He gave a dry chuckle. “He’s out of town on business. Even if he wanted to help, you think he could get past me?”
A burly guy by the door chimed in, “Don’t push your luck, sweetheart. Just sit tight and don’t make this harder than it needs to be. Sometimes, you know, being stubborn just means you’re the one getting hurt.”
Calliope shot Oliver a cool, almost amused glance. She let out a little laugh. “Mr. Myers, you really think I can’t get past your little welcoming committee?”
She eyed the guards blocking the exit. “You’re underestimating me. And you’re definitely underestimating your son’s taste.”
Then, before anyone could react, she tossed a handful of powder straight at the men by the door.
They froze, instinctively breathing in as the powder clouded the air.
“Whoa, what is that?” one of them stammered, swaying a bit. “I’m… kinda dizzy…”
“Hey, something’s off with this stuff,” another muttered, already slumping against the wall. “She’s got something weird...”
Within moments, they were dropping like bowling pins, one after another collapsing to the floor, out cold.
Oliver, still lounging on the couch, blinked in disbelief. He hadn’t seen that coming, but he kept his composure, just quirking an eyebrow.

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......
