"Nothing much!" Portia huffed, getting up with a playful grin. "Just ensure you treat Callie well. Since you're here, I'll leave you two alone."
She grabbed her purse and skipped toward the door. Just as she reached the doorway, she turned back, leaning against the frame with a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Darling, don't forget about me when the fun starts!"
She winked at Calliope, twirled around, and bounced out of the room.
Calliope watched her leave, her mind drifting into thought. She had been caught up with her affairs lately and almost forgot about the whirlwind in Portia's life. She'd have to find time to catch up with Fintan soon.
"What were you two chatting about?" Silas asked as he walked in, his tall figure casting a shadow.
"Just gossiping a bit," Calliope replied with a sly smile, closing her laptop. "Eamon filled you in, didn't he?"
"Yeah, he called me right after speaking with you and told me to pick you up." Silas paused. "You know, if you don't want to go, you don't have to."
He understood. Calliope might still care about Gideon. After all, she had loved him once, giving so much of herself to him. Witnessing someone she once adored marry another could be a bitter pill.
Silas knew the sting of that pain all too well.
"Why wouldn't I go? I'm in it for the show! There must be some drama today," Calliope said with excitement. "Fleur's personality clashes with Yvette's. She's sure to give her a hard time."
Calliope spoke from experience. She'd had her fair share of run-ins with Fleur. When she was smitten with Gideon, she often swallowed her pride to keep the peace when Fleur stirred up trouble. Looking back, it seemed ridiculous how much she tolerated to win Fleur's approval and got treated like a servant in the process.

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......
