Oliver was pretty much the poster child for “how NOT to be a dad.” For years, he hadn’t even bothered to check in on Silas.
When Silas was a kid, Oliver barely gave him the time of day. Heck, he’d even entertained the thought of getting rid of his own son. Now, after all these years, suddenly the old man wanted Silas to come back and help “protect the family legacy,” whatever that meant.
Honestly, it was ridiculous.
Silas saw Oliver as the enemy, and yet Oliver still thought he had some sort of authority, like Silas would just fall in line because of biology. Newsflash, Oliver: you can’t claim “dad points” when you never did a single dad thing.
The car rumbled along the winding drive.
Calliope just couldn’t help herself. She had to rant a bit about Oliver.
Zane, the driver, kept his eyes on the road and didn’t say a word. It wasn’t until they pulled up in front of a sprawling suburban mansion that he finally spoke.
“We’re here, Ms. Jewell.”
Calliope glanced at him. “So, Zane, what does your boss want with me this time? What’s he got to say now?”
Their last meeting had gone off the rails. She hadn’t punched Oliver, but this time, she wasn’t making any promises. As Silas’s wife, it was her job to protect her husband, and she’d do it, even if it meant going a few rounds with Oliver.
Zane just shook his head. He honestly had no idea. But he figured it was probably about Silas.
Calliope didn’t push for details. She just followed Zane inside.
The living room was all marble floors and high ceilings. Oliver was there, of course, but so was a woman sitting on the opposite couch. She looked about Calliope’s age, dressed head-to-toe in designer labels. Maybe there were a few too many trips to the plastic surgeon, but you could tell she’d once been gorgeous.
Calliope only gave her a glance. Whoever this woman was, showing up at Oliver’s place meant she was probably up to no good.

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......
