Calliope followed Lisette’s directions and stepped out onto the deck.
She found Lisette almost immediately—alone, her clothes changed, standing against the wind. The breeze tugged at her hair, and for a moment, a sly smile curled at her lips when she saw Calliope.
Maybe it was the night air, maybe the drug in Lisette’s system hadn’t fully kicked in yet.
Calliope walked over, putting on an act of irritation and discomfort. “What do you want? It’s the middle of the night. And why is it so damn hot out here?”
“Callie, I’m only here because father and the rest of the family want to see you. They want to apologize,” Lisette said, her voice soft and tentative. “They realize they were wrong, but they’re too embarrassed to come to you themselves, so they asked me to reach out.”
“Oh, so now they want to apologize, but they send you to do it?” Calliope folded her arms and let out a short, incredulous laugh. “Isn’t that just perfect? Too ashamed to face me, but apparently not ashamed enough to use the messenger. And since when were you and I such close friends?”
Lisette clearly thought that bringing up Monty and the others, saying they wanted to make amends, was the perfect bait. If Calliope hadn’t known what Lisette was really plotting, she wouldn’t have bothered coming out at all.
“I know you feel like everyone’s let you down, like the whole family owes you,” Lisette said, locking eyes with her. “But believe me, we know we messed up. After all these years together, there’s still some kind of bond, right? I’m not asking you to forgive them—just talk to them. That’s all.”

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......
