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?”

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......
