Calliope headed to the bar, following the server’s directions.
She spotted Nigel Howell waiting for her at the counter.
“So you’re the one who wanted to see me?” she asked as she approached.
She hadn’t seen Nigel in quite a while—long enough that he’d almost slipped her mind. This unexpected invitation caught her off guard.
After she’d come back to life, she had saved Nigel without fanfare and, this time, made sure Lisette never got the chance to pretend she was the one who’d rescued him.
Since then, Nigel had sent her gifts on a few occasions, but she returned most of them, intentionally keeping him at arm’s length.
Helping him had been a spur-of-the-moment decision; she had no intention of getting mixed up in his affairs, especially because Silas considered Nigel a rival.
She was very clear where her loyalties stood: she would never be friends with Nigel Howell.
“That’s right,” Nigel said, pushing a cocktail across the bar toward her. “Made it myself. Care for a taste?”
Calliope eyed the drink, then took a tentative sip. “Not bad.”
“Isn’t it? I thought it turned out pretty well,” he replied, flashing a self-assured smile.
“So, why did you ask me here?” Calliope sat down, watching him with a reserved suspicion.
Nigel leaned in a little. “I heard you were in town, thought I’d catch up. What, I can’t buy you a drink?”

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......
