Gideon was ignoring his buddies, feeling utterly miserable.
Tomorrow was his wedding day with Yvette, but he felt none of the joy expected of a groom. Sure, he was about to become a father, and he didn't dislike the idea of having a kid. But his feelings for Yvette had long since faded.
Lately, Yvette had been using the fact that she had once saved his life as leverage against him, making him resent her even more.
He took swig after swig of his drink, as if trying to drown his sorrows in whiskey.
His friends had been joking around, but seeing him like this, they exchanged puzzled glances, unsure of what was going on with him.
One of them clapped Gideon on the shoulder. "Hey, man, what's up? You don't look like you're about to get married."
"Don't tell me you're still hung up on Calliope," another chimed in. "I thought you couldn't stand her always being around back in the day. Isn't your wedding with her all about Eamon's shares?"
Gideon chuckled wryly, swirling the amber liquid in his glass. "No, I didn't realize it back then, but I love her. I was such a fool. I didn't know who I truly cared about."
He sighed, his gaze dropping to the floor. He used to think Yvette was great, that she was special. Now he realized she wasn't, and he had never really liked her—just a trick of the mind, a result of her manipulations.
If he'd only understood his heart sooner, he wouldn't be contemplating running away on his wedding day.
He recalled the image of Calliope running toward Silas. His heart pounded at the memory. Why wasn't she running toward him? If she had been, he'd have felt like he had the world at his feet.
"You know," one of the guys said, "I heard something interesting. A buddy of mine looked into Calliope and said she owns the Pearl Tiger Club."

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......
