Silas’s eyes were deep and intense, full of feeling.
“Maybe you won’t believe me, but I swear I’m telling the truth. I liked Callie way before she and I ever got together,” he said quietly.
“It goes way back. I mean, I was just a kid, barely ten years old, and I already had a crush on her. As we got older, my feelings just grew stronger. But back then, she only had eyes for Gideon. Honestly, I think she was even a little scared of me.”
He looked down, the old memories clearly still stinging. He’d always watched her from a distance, always hoping she’d notice him just once, but she never did.
Back then, it was only Gideon for her. She loved him, and that was that. It hurt.
Silas regretted not trying harder, not fighting for her sooner. But he’d been just a scrawny kid with nothing to offer. He’d told himself he’d wait until he was strong enough, until he really had something to give her, and then he’d tell her how he felt.
But by the time he finally made something of himself, her heart belonged to someone else.
Thinking about it now still made his chest tighten. Especially remembering how, in another life, she’d died—because of their whole messed-up crowd, she’d died in the worst way. He never got there in time to save her. That regret still haunted him.
But this time, he’d done everything to bring her back.
“I don’t know if you believe me, but even if she died, I’d go right up to the gates of hell and drag her back out,” he said fiercely. “I’d pay any price for her. I’d give up anything. I’d do it, even if it meant I’d never get peace, not for a thousand lifetimes.”
He looked up, a half-smile on his face, but his eyes were serious.
Quentin and the other two guys exchanged glances, falling silent for a moment.
It was obvious Silas really did love Callie. No one could fake that kind of devotion. Still, they weren’t about to take his word for it.
Talk was cheap, after all. Anyone could say they’d die for love, but it’s only when things get tough that you really know the truth.

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......
