“Why not?” Nigel protested at once, looking deeply aggrieved. “What’s so wrong with me?”
“It’s not about something being wrong,” Calliope replied coolly, giving him a once-over. “I simply don’t like you. Why would I choose you? Sure, you’re good-looking, well-off, and accomplished—but I want for nothing. If I want a handsome guy, I can find one. Money? I’ve got plenty. Ability? I don’t rely on anyone for that.”
The truth was, her heart already belonged to Silas. Maybe Silas would ultimately leave her for that other woman, but her own feelings couldn’t just vanish overnight.
Calliope felt a cold knot tighten in her chest at the thought of Silas with another woman.
She didn’t want to go on talking to Nigel.
“I’m tired. I need to rest,” she said, voice clipped. “You should go back, too.”
She didn’t give him a chance for another word, turning away and heading straight to her room.
Nigel lingered outside her door for a long moment, then turned to Leland, who stood quietly nearby. “What does Silas have that I don’t? Does she really not care for me at all?”
“You’re the best, sir!” Leland said with conviction.
Nigel stared at him, then shook his head, clearly doubting the value of Leland’s opinion.
Calliope had assumed Lisette would be laying low for the night—especially after drinking too much and suffering such a humiliating scene. But she had underestimated just how persistent Lisette could be.
Sometime past midnight, Calliope’s phone buzzed with a message from Lisette. Apparently, she had something ‘important’ she just had to discuss.
Portia, still awake, noticed Calliope checking her phone and rolled over. “Who’s texting you?”
“Lisette, I think,” Calliope replied.

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......
