Calliope stood so close to Silas she could catch the scent of his cologne, a comforting blend of cedarwood and something warm, like cinnamon.
Her eyes flicked up to meet his, and a flutter of panic stirred in her chest.
She had always focused on Gideon, holding Silas in a sort of reverent awe. Despite having helped him once before, her feelings for Silas had always been more about respect, and maybe a touch of intimidation.
Silas was a few years older than her, and to top it off, he was Gideon’s uncle. Every time she saw him, it was like facing a stern elder, and for reasons she couldn’t explain, it always made her feel a pang of guilt.
But now, standing so close to him, she realized how blind she had been.
Silas was handsome, capable- the kind of man she should have noticed long ago. Yet, she had wasted so much time chasing after Gideon, who was nothing short of a jerk.
Sure, Silas was her husband now, but it wasn’t like she had won him over in any fairytale fashion. Their relationship had been built on a deal, and that made her feel a bit uneasy.
Silas handed her phone back to her. Calliope glanced up, swallowing nervously.
“What brings you back?” she asked.
“Are you not happy to see me?” Silas’s lips curled into a slight smile, his deep eyes twinkling in a way that was almost hypnotic.
For a moment, Calliope felt as though she were lost in a dream.
She remembered the day he had carried her broken body out of that hellish place, his face filled with anger and determination. It was a scary memory, yet somehow brought her a sense of safety that only Silas could provide.
That’s why, in this lifetime, she had sought him out without hesitation. To her surprise, he hadn’t turned her down. Even though helping her didn’t seem to benefit him, especially since the end of their agreement might leave him labeled as a divorcee, he still agreed to the marriage contract.
“No, it’s your home; you should come back whenever you want,” Calliope said with a small smile.

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 !!!...
