"You know, walking a tightrope is risky enough, but you just had to choose the one that leads to the point of no return," Calliope said, her voice laced with a mix of exasperation and amusement as she glanced at Gideon.
"Sometimes, Gideon, I really do admire you. You're a bit of a madman, you know that?"
Calliope looked at him with a detached air. Once upon a time, she might have felt a pang of heartache, a twinge of sadness for him. But now, she felt nothing. Once, she thought she wouldn’t be ruthless to someone she once liked, but his actions left her with no choice. He had brought this upon himself.
"Big shot, do you think that's enough? If not, I can break another leg. Make sure he can't stand for a while! If he dares to bother you again, I'll make sure he's in a wheelchair for life!"
Calliope shook her head. "That's enough. Someone else will deal with him."
She casually cracked open a few sunflower seeds and glanced at Gabriel. "Sit down. Why are you standing there like a statue?"
"I’m good," Gabriel chuckled, albeit nervously. The truth was, he was terrified of Calliope. He had seen her in action, pulling him out of a tight spot without a second thought. During a hail of bullets, she hadn’t even blinked. Plus, she carried a mysterious air about her, backed by a reputation that was not to be trifled with.
And now, she was married to Silas, another formidable figure he had no interest in crossing. If he’d known it was her he was dealing with, he would never have gotten involved in the first place. The mother and son duo would’ve gotten a good thrashing instead.
But what’s done was done, and now he was left to grovel for forgiveness.
Calliope patted the seat next to her, prompting Gabriel to sit.

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......
