For Julius, she’d picked out a play script, one he’d been wanting for years, and a bracelet. Not just any bracelet, either, but a vintage rosary bead bracelet, the kind you’d find in an exclusive antique shop, worth more than most people’s homes.
She’d chosen every gift with care, matching each one to what the guys actually liked. It was the kind of gift-giving that hit people right in the heart.
Quentin and the other two were genuinely thrilled with what Calliope had brought them.
But honestly, even if Calliope had shown up empty-handed, they’d still adore her. The fact that she brought such meaningful, extravagant gifts? Just icing on the cake.
People standing around couldn’t help but stare, pure envy in their eyes.
Everyone now knew Calliope’s wealth was something else. She could casually hand out gifts that cost more than most folks would ever make in a lifetime.
It was almost unreal.
For regular people, it was the kind of thing you couldn’t even dream about.
But for Quentin and the others, the price tag didn’t matter. Whether the gift was a homemade cookie or worth a fortune, as long as it was from Calliope, it was precious.
Upstairs, Ulysses and Valerian hadn’t come down, but word travels fast. The staff was buzzing about Calliope’s generosity.
When Ulysses heard that Calliope had given Julius that script, the very one he’d been searching for, he could hardly believe it. How did Calliope even get her hands on that script? And why would she give it to Julius, of all people?
But he knew Julius was resourceful, so it had to be the real deal. Calliope had really given Julius something so rare, so valuable.
The thought stung.
The thing he’d wanted most, Calliope had given away to someone else.
He couldn’t help but wonder if he’d been kinder to Calliope, would she have chosen him instead?

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......
