"Ulysses, what happened to your foot? It's swollen like a balloon!"
Zelda's eyes widened with shock as she looked at Ulysses. She glanced back at his face, which was usually his pride and joy. Among her kids, Ulysses was the most handsome and the one who had ventured into the entertainment industry. He took great care of himself, especially his face, which he considered his most valuable asset.
But right now, half of his face was so puffy he looked like he'd been in a brawl. Zelda might not have recognized him if the other side of his face hadn’t remained untouched.
Her emotions were a whirlwind of concern and anger. "Who did this to you, son? Who had the nerve to mess with you like this? Are they out of their minds?"
Ulysses' expression was a mix of frustration and helplessness. It wasn't just the humiliation of being attacked; it was the inability to retaliate that gnawed at him.
If it were just Calliope, he wouldn't have been worried. But she had a tiger, a wolf, and Silas by her side. There was nothing they could do but swallow their pride and come home.
His resentment toward Calliope was growing. Once, he considered Calliope his little sister, annoying but family nonetheless. He never wished anything bad for her. Now, he wished Silas would leave Calliope and her life become as miserable as she made his.
"It was Calliope!" Ulysses groaned, sinking into the couch. He glanced at his swollen foot and couldn't help but gingerly touch his face. "Mom, how bad is it?"
He hadn't dared to look in a mirror since he got back. His face felt like it was on fire, and he feared what he might see.
But he couldn't avoid it forever. If his face was really messed up, how could he keep acting? He had a full schedule with a reality show, two films, and a commercial lined up. There was no time for a break.

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......
