Calliope spent some time freshening up in her room. As dinnertime drew near, she sent a message to the group chat, inviting everyone out for a meal together.
She stepped into the hallway just as Damien came out of the room next door.
She looked at him in surprise. “How did you know I was heading out for dinner?”
She hadn’t even messaged him yet, but there he was, as if he’d anticipated her perfectly.
Damien gave a sheepish grin and rubbed the back of his head. “It was about the right time, so I thought I’d check. You don’t think I was spying on you, do you?”
“Of course not. I just figured I’d pop out every few minutes. I didn’t want to disturb you, so I didn’t call.”
“You really don’t need to worry. I’ll always let you know when I’m going out.”
She flashed him a slightly exasperated smile.
Damien’s grin widened. “Well, then, I’d appreciate that.”
“Honestly, you’re the one who has to put up with being dragged around after me,” she said with a laugh.
Damien quickly waved her off. “Don’t say that! This is my job. Your safety comes first—and Mr. Myers pays me for a reason.”
Calliope nodded and headed out, Damien faithfully following behind.
Not far away, Ulysses had overheard Calliope’s sound and hurried over. But as soon as he saw Julius with her, he stopped, the enthusiasm draining from his face. An empty ache gnawed at his chest. Once, she’d been his sister too. Now, she was someone he hardly knew.
Old memories flitted across his mind. She had been such a sweet child, and he’d loved playing with her. He remembered how thrilled he’d been when he first found out he had a sister.
But all that changed after he fell for Lisette Jewell’s lies. Lisette deceived them, and he’d believed every word, always at Callie’s expense.
Now, any hope of repairing their relationship was long gone. Sometimes he wondered if things could have been different—if he’d been kinder, paid more attention, maybe she would still think of them as her brothers, blood or no blood.
But regrets meant nothing now. They couldn’t change the past. The ache lingered.
Beside him, his agent remained completely in the dark about his feelings, focused only on the fact that Calliope was someone worth winning over.

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......
