The Next Day
Calliope headed into the office early. She took care of a few things—emails, a call from legal, the usual—when suddenly, Lance appeared.
This time, he’d left the whole helicopter stunt behind and just rolled up in a sports car, with an entire convoy of flashy vehicles trailing behind him. Subtlety clearly wasn’t in his vocabulary.
He strode straight into Jewell Group.
As luck would have it, he bumped into Valerian Jewell at reception. Valerian had definitely heard of Lance—how could he not, after the infamous helicopter landing on the company lawn last month?
Security was about to stop Lance at the entrance, but Valerian recognized him right away and figured he was here for Calliope. So, with a resigned sigh, Valerian led Lance inside.
They stepped into the elevator together, and Lance gave Valerian a once-over, eyebrows raised.
“You know Callie?” Lance asked.
“She’s my sister,” Valerian replied evenly.
Lance scratched at his ear, puzzled. “Your sister? Huh. Weird, I’ve never seen you around. Her brothers I’ve met are all… well, kind of a big deal.”
He sized Valerian up, then suddenly lunged at him—just out of nowhere.
Valerian didn’t even have time to react before Lance had him pinned, like it was nothing.
Lance let go, frowning. “You sure you’re her brother? She’s a total badass. No offense, but you don’t really scream ‘family resemblance.’”
He clicked his tongue, thinking. “Her brothers are supposed to be legends. And, you know… pretty easy on the eyes. I was actually kinda curious to meet them! You don’t look anything like her.”
He grinned, completely unfiltered. “Actually, you’re way less good-looking than she is.”
Valerian was about ready to explode. “Those ‘brothers’ you’re talking about are probably her honorary brothers. I’m her real brother. Like, actually related.”

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......
