He hurled the beer bottle straight at the woman. The woman was terrified. Her legs gave out, and she sank to the floor.
As the bottle flew towards her, everyone around gasped, bracing for the worst.
But Calliope, without a moment’s hesitation, reached up and intercepted the man’s arm with surprising ease, stopping him dead in his tracks. She remained calmly seated on the seat, but her grip was unyielding.
"Let go!" the man barked, straining to free his arm. Yet no matter how much he struggled, it was like trying to wrestle free from a steel vise.
He stared at Calliope, shock flickering in his eyes. "Listen, lady, you better mind your own business! You don't even know her. Why are you sticking your nose where it doesn't belong?"
"I can't stand by and watch you abuse your wife," Calliope retorted coldly. "Stop hitting her, and I'll let you go."
The man snapped, "No way! She stepped out of line. Why shouldn't I hit her? She is my wife! I can do whatever I want, and nobody can stop me!"
Calliope applied a little more pressure, bending his wrist slightly, causing him to yelp in pain, his face turning pale.
"You crazy woman! Are you trying to break my wrist? I’ll call the cops on you!" he blustered, though there was a tremor in his voice.
Calliope tightened her grip, her expression unyielding. She planned to teach this man a lesson before handing him to the police.
But then, he shouted at the woman unexpectedly, "You useless hag, aren’t you going to help me? Without me, you’re nothing! I’m your husband. Aren’t you going to do anything?"
The woman, tears brimming in her eyes, reached out and grabbed Calliope’s wrist. "Please, let my husband go."
Calliope was momentarily stunned.
The woman seemed more upset by her husband's pain than by the fact that he had been about to hit her.

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 !!!...
