“What about his first love?” Portia pressed, eyes on Calliope. “You and Silas have been getting along great lately. It’s not like he’s sneaking around with anyone else, right? That first love is probably just a rumor. Maybe she never even existed!”
“Stop worrying,” Portia added. “He’s probably just away on business.”
Portia looked up, her tone turning more practical. “Honestly, I think Silas is amazing to you. Didn’t he give you everything he owns? If he really was hung up on someone else, you could just kick him out and keep it all.”
She made it sound so simple—but for Calliope, it was anything but.
“It’s not just a rumor,” Calliope said quietly. “He’s not away on business. He went to find her. What’s worse… she looks almost exactly like me. Maybe the only reason he treats me so well is because I remind him of her.”
Calliope looked at Portia, the sudden weight of the admission pressing down on her. “I think I might have to divorce him.”
Portia stared at her. “Don’t be ridiculous! How do you know that’s why he left? Are you sure you’re not just imagining things?”
“Callie, please don’t jump to conclusions. Whatever’s going on, talk to Silas about it. When he gets back, the two of you should sit down and have an honest conversation.”
“If you’re really bothered by his first love, just ask him about it directly. You two have come so far—it hasn’t been easy. And you can’t deny Silas is a good man. He’s accomplished, he’s devoted to you, he’d do anything for you. It’s obvious he trusts you completely.”
Portia was starting to feel anxious herself.
She’d always thought Calliope and Silas had the perfect marriage. The rumor about Silas having a secret, unforgettable first love seemed so long ago. In fact, most people hadn’t expected them to work out together at first. But little by little, they’d proved everyone wrong.

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......
