Ulysses squeezed his way through the crowd, keeping his mask on so no one would recognize him. He leaned over to the guy next to him and asked, “Hey man, what’s going on over here? Is there some celebrity in town or something?”
He couldn’t help but wonder it was Christmas, and this sleepy little town wasn’t exactly known for attracting celebrities. Who’d bother to show up at the local supermarket around now?
Ulysses even had a fleeting, half-joking thought: maybe word got out that he was coming to the store today. Maybe all these people were his fans, here to catch a glimpse of him. He felt a tiny thrill of anticipation.
But the guy just glanced back at him and grinned. “Well, I wouldn’t say a movie star, but it’s close enough. You know the richest guy in Capitalton? Silas, the guy who owns The Baker Group?”
“Yeah, well, he just came in here with his wife and her brothers, too!”
“His wife? You mean Calliope, right?” Ulysses asked, eyes widening.
“Yeah, that’s her! She’s gorgeous, like something out of a fairy tale. And those brothers of hers? Man, each one’s more handsome than the next.”
Ulysses stared in disbelief. Silas? Calliope? And her brothers? That couldn’t be right. They’d just come here, and those couldn’t be the brothers he was thinking of. Was Calliope really out shopping with them instead of coming home for the holidays?
He felt a pang of annoyance.
The guy continued, “Oh, and did you know? Calliope always says these brothers are her ‘real’ brothers. She doesn’t even acknowledge the other ones from her family back home. I get it, though, the Jewell brothers never treated her right. Didn’t even manage to hold on to the family business and left it all for her to handle. Shameful, really.”
“And honestly, the Jewell boys are just hopeless. Can’t run a company, and I hear one of them tried to be a celebrity or something, but he’s pretty much a nobody.”

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......
