The room buzzed with a cheerful energy, filled with friends and family, no outsiders in sight.
Everyone was genuinely wishing her a happy birthday.
"Come on, make a wish and blow out the candles!" someone called out with a playful nudge.
Silas leaned in close to Calliope’s ear, his voice just a soft whisper meant only for her, "Happy birthday, darling. Make a wish."
"Thank you!" Calliope replied, glancing around at everyone, feeling a lump in her throat.
She couldn't remember the last time she'd had such a lively birthday celebration.
It took her back to her childhood when she used to live with her grandpa. He'd invite people over every birthday, and her friends would fill the house. She felt like a little princess adored by the whole world.
But after her grandpa passed away, she moved back in with her biological parents. Since then, she'd never had a birthday that felt entirely her own or experienced such a vibrant celebration.
Her eyes stung with unshed tears. She fought to keep them at bay, closed her eyes, made a wish, and blew out the candles.
Portia giggled and playfully smeared a bit of cake on Calliope’s face as the candles flickered out.
The lights flickered on, illuminating the entire hall.
For the first time, Calliope could fully appreciate the magical setup of the room. Fairy lights twinkled like stars across the ceiling, and the place was adorned with delicate tulle, balloons, and a sea of flowers, making it look like a dream.
In one corner of the hall, there was a mountain of gifts. Calliope noticed something peculiar about the pile—it seemed to be divided into two stacks.
Catching her curious glance, Portia couldn't help but explain, "Hey, Callie, are you wondering why the gifts are in two separate piles?"
"Why?" Calliope asked, puzzled.
"Well, one stack is from all of us here, but the other," Portia grinned, "is from a certain someone."

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......
