Calliope glanced over at Horatio. “Do you think I’m here begging for your love?”
She chuckled softly. “Sorry to burst your bubble, but I’ve got to ask—how much is your love really worth?”
“That isn’t something you measure in dollars and cents,” Horatio replied, furrowing his brow.
“Oh, really? Then how do you measure it?” Calliope stepped closer, standing right in front of him. “Is it by the insults, the betrayals, the humiliations? Is it the lack of trust, the favoritism? Is that your idea of love?
Do you think I’m some kind of masochist who still craves your love? Well, newsflash—I don’t need it anymore, and I sure as hell don’t love you back,” she said, her smile turning gradually frosty.
“After having a near-death experience, I realized something crucial—I won’t get your love, and I don’t want it.
Don’t worry, aside from your meaningless love, I’ve got plenty of other care in my life. I have my brothers—three wonderful, caring brothers—and a husband who treats me like gold. I might not have parents, but it doesn’t matter, who needs parents like that?”
Calliope laughed lightly. “My brothers love me dearly. Even without a drop of shared blood, they’re more family to me than you ever were.”
Horatio’s face paled. He opened his mouth, trying to find words that wouldn’t come. Hearing her talk about the love of her brothers with no blood ties pricked something uncomfortable within him, and when she declared she didn’t love them anymore, it left an unexpected void.

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......
