A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 1000

He didn’t fight back—just smiled, cold and amused. “Really? Is this your idea of fun? You think some childish trick like this is going to put me under, like it did with those fools before me? And then, what, you get to summon someone else?”

He scoffed. “Dream on. That won’t work on me.”

Simon lounged back, letting her do as she pleased, not the slightest bit concerned. He actually seemed entertained, as if he were just waiting to see how things would play out. Calliope applied pressure to the nerve clusters with deliberate force; by all accounts, the vasovagal response should have dropped him instantly. But—just as he said—nothing. No change at all.

She stared at him in disbelief. How could this be happening?

Calliope’s brow furrowed; she pushed harder, trying again.

Simon’s lips twisted in a little frown. His voice was low and mocking. “What is this? Are you trying to drive that pin straight through my hand?”

Useless. Completely, utterly useless—no matter how much he “cooperated.”

She bit back frustration. “The others… it worked on them. Why not you?”

He smirked, dark eyes leveled on her. “Because I’m not like those idiots. I’m not one of them. Though,” his tone shifted, almost teasing, “you’re kind of cute. In fact, I rather like you.”

And without warning, his hand shot out, gripping her chin. “Doesn’t matter whether you agree or not. You’re mine now—get used to it. I’ve made up my mind.”

Calliope was at a loss, silent and exasperated. This new persona of the Black Spider was proving more troublesome—and disturbing—than anything that had come before.

“She didn’t agree to this!” snapped Nigel, his face thunderous as he confronted Simon. “You’re disgusting. Can’t you see she wants nothing to do with you?”
