After leaving the casino, Calliope and Portia set out for a night of karaoke.
Several of Calliope’s friends from the auction had invited her to join them—sing a little, catch up, maybe talk some business on the side. Without hesitation, she brought Portia along.
By the time they arrived at the private lounge, the place was already buzzing with laughter and chatter.
The room was packed with some very familiar faces: celebrities from home and abroad.
Nearly everyone there owed Calliope a favor or two.
“Callie’s here!”
They all rose from their seats to greet her.
Portia nearly stumbled in surprise. She’d always known that Calliope’s social circle was impressive, but she had never imagined it was this glamorous—or this intimidating. Nearly every guest in the room was someone she’d seen gracing the covers of magazines and newspapers: movie stars, chart-topping singers, ambitious young financiers, heirs and heiresses of world-famous names.
Every last one of them carried serious weight.
“Do you know all these people?” Portia whispered, gripping Calliope’s arm, her confidence faltering for the first time.
“Of course. These are all my friends. Everyone’s so busy, it’s rare for us to gather like this. Thanks to the auction, we made it happen. Don’t worry—they’re all kind.”
“These people are legends!” Portia hissed beneath her breath.
The Sutton family was famous, but compared to these global icons, they barely ranked. Portia felt utterly out of place.
“Legends are the same with common people,” Calliope teased. “Besides, you’re not afraid of Silas, are you?”
“That’s different!” Portia protested, flustered. “I’ve spent so much time around him, and besides, he’s your husband. Why would I be afraid?”
Calliope laughed. “Exactly. These are my friends, so no need to be nervous.”

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......
