"Silas, you're going to regret this! You'd really cross my father for some woman? Is she worth that much to you?"
"My dad told you to treat me with respect! If this is how you want to play it, I'll tell him everything. And don’t expect me to keep sticking up for you!"
Phoebe jabbed a furious finger at Silas. Her cheeks were flushed with anger.
"I'll give you one last chance—ditch this woman, help me up, and maybe I’ll pretend none of this happened!"
Calliope glanced at Silas, suddenly uncertain. What exactly was going on between him and this woman? Was Phoebe’s father, his business partner, really that influential here? Could she truly end things for Silas just like that?
She’d been too fired up about Hudson to think straight before, but now that her anger cooled, Calliope began to worry she’d created trouble for Silas.
She caught his gaze, silently asking, Did I mess up? Did I just make things worse for you?
But Silas didn’t let go of her hand. If anything, he squeezed it tighter, holding it up between them for everyone to see.
He turned to Phoebe, letting the light catch on the simple gold bands on their fingers. "She’s my wife," he said, steady and clear. "I promised to protect her, always. That’s not changing."
"You—!" Phoebe’s eyes flashed. "I don’t care if she’s your wife or not! If you don’t want to ruin things with my father, you’d better apologize, and she’d better get down on her knees and beg for forgiveness!"
Phoebe was relentless, refusing to back down. Never mind that she’d started this whole mess. She couldn’t, or wouldn’t, see herself as the one at fault. In her mind, Silas was supposed to be hers. He was meant to be her future husband, not someone else’s.
"Tell your father whatever you want," Silas replied coolly. "I’m not the one desperate for his business. If he wants to walk away, that’s his choice. He’s not likely to find a better deal, but he can try. Sure, he loves you enough that he might do it for your sake. But, honestly? My wife comes first. She always will. Anything else comes second, no exceptions."

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......
