“Let them go. I’ll stay,” Calliope said, locking eyes with Simon.
“I’m the one you’re after. You can’t possibly be that interested in them. To a tiger, isn’t eating a person the same as eating a cow?”She shrugged. “If what you want is a spectacle, just throw in a bunch of live animals—something that could put up a fight. Animals can be just as entertaining.”
He gave a low, amused chuckle. “That’s where you’re wrong. People are far more interesting.” He glanced at the caged space, something wicked flickering in his eyes. “Watching a tiger rip apart chickens or ducks gets old fast—I’ve seen it way too many times. But I’ve never actually seen a tiger attack a person. Isn’t the thrill in what you almost never see?”
He leaned forward, eyes narrowing. “Besides, are you hoping I’ll let them go so they can run off and fetch someone to come rescue you? Do you really think I’m that much of a fool? I don’t make rookie mistakes. I decided they’re tiger chow—the end. They’re not people anymore. They’re just meat.”
A cold, delighted smirk stretched across his face. “Save your breath. You can’t talk me out of it. If you push me any further, I’ll toss you to the tigers—or maybe the crocs. Take your pick. I keep a fine collection of predators.”
Calliope fell silent, eyes searching his face.
She tried again. “Didn’t you say you liked me?”
Simon arched an eyebrow. “And what, that means I have to do everything you say?”
She pressed, “If you like me, you should at least listen to me, right?”
He laughed, eyes sparkling with mischief. “Just because I like you doesn’t make me your lapdog. Liking someone isn’t some priceless gift. I can like you and just as easily decide I hate you. Doesn’t mean I’d do anything for you. I’m not an idiot.”

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......
