The expression on Silas's face in the video was foreign to her. It was undeniably clear he was deeply, desperately worried about the woman in his arms.
So, this was the woman who truly held his heart. The one he still cared for.
A complicated tangle of emotions tightened in Calliope's chest. After watching the video loop once, she handed the phone back to Nigel, forcing herself to remain outwardly composed. "So, Mr. Howell, what's your endgame here? Showing me this... are you hoping I'll help you take down Silas?"
Nigel studied her for a moment before shaking his head slowly. "Not at all. I wouldn't stoop to using the person who saved my life to get back at a rival. Silas and I are competitors, yes, but it's not a matter of life and death. To be honest, I quite admire him. It takes someone exceptional to be my contemporary."
"The only reason I showed you this is because you saved me, and I thought you deserved to know the playing field. That's all. No ulterior motive."
Nigel looked at her directly, a slight, calculating smile playing on his lips. "You have options, Calliope. A woman as capable and remarkable as you doesn't need to settle for second best. You could leave him. Hell, you could even marry me. I happen to be in the market for a suitable wife right now."
"Mr. Howell, that's not funny." Calliope picked up her glass and took a long, slow drink, needing the burn of the alcohol.
She turned to face him squarely. "So you're really not trying to cause trouble between us?"
"If I wanted to break you two up, I've had plenty of opportunities. I wouldn't have waited until now," Nigel said with a casual shrug. "I'm just giving you a heads-up. Consider it a favor for saving my skin."

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......
