So, deep down, was Silas just using her as a stand-in for that other woman? Was that why he always got so emotional, so lost in the moment with her?
The thought crossed Calliope’s mind, and almost instinctively, she wanted to be more proactive, to make sure she occupied every part of his attention.
She couldn't pinpoint when it happened, but somewhere along the line, her heart had started to open up to this man. It was hard to say exactly when she began to hope they could keep going on like this together.
She had already forgotten about Gideon, forgotten about the days before. It was Silas she wanted to spend the rest of her life with.
But there was still a sliver of unease in her heart. It wasn't that she didn't want to ask; she just didn't have the courage.
What if she asked, and he said she was only a stand-in? What would she do then? What if he told her she was only temporary, that he would eventually return to the woman in his heart? How would she handle that?
Fear of the unknown kept her from wanting to change anything. She was terrified that if she tried to change their current situation, it would all shatter like a fragile bubble.
Calliope realized she was scared of losing Silas, something she’d never felt. She didn’t know when it started, but she found herself leaning on him more and more.
What began as a fake marriage with the thought of a quick exit had become something else entirely. Calliope couldn’t imagine leaving him now, not unless he said so.
Her growing affection was something Silas reciprocated wholeheartedly. He responded to her passion with equal fervor.
Before they knew it, the car had arrived back home. Their passion had left their clothes slightly askew, a testament to their fervor.
Damien, their driver, seemed to sense the charged atmosphere from the backseat. After parking the car, he discreetly stepped out, gave a quick nod, and headed to his own quarters.
Silas carried Calliope out of the car. She wrapped her arms around his neck and looked at him earnestly and eagerly.
Silas could read the longing in her eyes. She wanted him.

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 !!!...
