Calliope sat on the edge of her seat, listening intently to the sound of water running in the bathroom.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the door creaked slightly as Silas stepped out.
Calliope’s heart almost leaped into her throat.
When Silas settled on the edge of the bed, she took a deep breath, made a split-second decision, and flicked off the lamp.
In a rush of adrenaline, she launched herself at Silas, landing squarely on his chest. The warmth of his skin sent a jolt through her, and her nerves heightened with the intimate contact.
She could feel his heartbeat pounding just as fiercely as hers, a steady rhythm echoing in the room. Her hands fumbled awkwardly across Silas's torso; it was her first time, and her inexperience left her flustered and clumsy.
Silas's body tensed at the moment. He hadn't expected her sudden boldness, the way she had impulsively turned off the lights and thrown herself at him. Unsure, he remained still, cautious not to accidentally hurt her.
Her small hands roamed over him, sparking a wildfire beneath his skin, and he felt his entire being ignite. His breathing grew heavier, and with a voice thick with emotion, he asked, "What are you doing?"
"Isn't this what married people do?" Calliope's voice was a mix of nerves and determination as she lay sprawled across him.
Silas caught her wandering hands. "Is this what you want?"
"Isn't this what you want?" Calliope replied, a hint of hurt in her voice. "Last time… you didn’t come home. Were you mad at me?"
"I'm not," Silas assured her, frowning slightly as he heard the vulnerability in her words.
She thought he was mad!
How could he ever be mad at her? He could never bring himself to be angry with her.
Calliope paused. "But you didn't come back for days. You didn’t text or call… I thought you were upset."

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 !!!...
