“Hey, watch where you’re going! Ever heard of looking before you walk?”
The deep voice behind her was sharp, a little gruff. It was the kind of voice that could command a room, warm and magnetic, but definitely not one of Calliope’s brothers, and not Silas, either.
To Mavis, though, it was heartbreakingly familiar. The sound of it almost made her eyes sting with tears.
Not far away, Calliope and Portia exchanged a knowing glance, both glancing in Mavis’s direction.
Behind Mavis stood a tall figure, broad-shouldered and radiating an unmistakable tough-guy energy. He looked down at her, frown creasing his brow, clearly annoyed she’d nearly taken a tumble.
“What are you doing here?” Mavis turned, staring up at Uriah.
He never took her home for dinner anymore, but now here he was, out of nowhere. Was he here for her?
No, probably not. If he showed up, he must be looking for Silas.
The thought flickered across her face, quickly replaced by disappointment.
Just as Mavis was about to find her voice, Uriah stepped forward and suddenly handed her a big red envelope. “Merry Christmas.”
She froze, staring at the envelope in her hands.
“What? Not going to take your holiday card from me?” Uriah teased, his eyes crinkling just a bit. “It’s tradition, you know. Grown-ups give the kids a little something for the holidays.”
The word “grown-up” made Mavis’s heart sink. She liked Uriah—liked him so much it almost hurt. He might be her master, but she didn’t want him to see her as some kid. She wanted him to see her as someone he could love. But no matter how hard she tried, nothing ever changed.
Her disappointment was written all over her face.

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......
