“This line of work demands quick reflexes, real fighting skills, thinking on your feet—and you have to protect your charge like it’s more precious than your own life,” Calliope explained. “Vivian is outstanding at all of it. And honestly, women can be more attentive to detail than some of the guys in this field. That’s why she’s made such a name for herself.”
Portia nodded. “Yeah, it really shows. She seems pretty incredible.”
Vivian reappeared, having finished gathering her gear. “What are you two chatting about?” she asked as she came over.
“We were just saying how impressive you are,” Calliope replied with a grin. “Portia didn’t expect you to be this cool—or a woman.”
Vivian laughed. “Plenty of women out there run circles around useless men. Callie’s a woman too—way tougher than I am!”
Portia laughed. “I’ll back that up!”
“She’s always been a rockstar, and just a great person,” Vivian agreed as she leaned against the doorframe. She took out a pack of cigarettes, shook a couple loose, then offered them across. “Either of you want one?”
“I’ll pass,” Calliope said with a smile.
“I don’t smoke,” Portia replied, shaking her head.
Vivian shrugged off their refusals, lighting one for herself. “You don’t mind, right?” she asked.
“Go for it,” Calliope said.
The three of them lingered by the door, Vivian puffing quietly while she and Calliope exchanged a few words. Portia stood with them in companionable silence, not wanting to intrude.
When the cigarette was finished, Vivian waved a goodbye. “I’m off! Next round of drinks is on you.”
“Deal,” Calliope replied warmly. “Get home safe, and thanks for everything!”
Vivian flashed a grin. “Just doing my job—and hey, you always pay on time.” She hopped into her car and pulled away.
Portia watched her go. “Her job sounds amazing. And she’s really nice, too.”

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......
