Portia watched Nigel for a moment, hesitating before voicing her guess. “Mr. Howell, are you… are you going to look after our Callie?”
“You are, aren’t you? You’re going to keep her safe?”
“Mr. Howell, you’re wonderful!”
“I know you’re talented—and you’ve got a whole team of skilled people working for you. I’m putting Callie in your hands. Please, she’s counting on you,” Portia said, her voice brimming with emotion.
Truthfully, she’d been uneasy about Calliope striking out on her own. If Nigel was going with her, Portia could finally breathe easier.
She was well aware of Nigel’s skill—rival or not to Silas Myers, he’d never shown Callie any ill will. In fact, if Portia was reading things right, he might even have a bit of a soft spot for her.
Whatever his motives—whether it was fondness or something else—it could only work in Callie’s favor.
Things in Stormgard were a tangled mess. Too many factions had their claws in, and trouble was always lurking just below the surface. Calliope was heading straight into the lion’s den for Mavis, and while she could handle herself, there was real danger there.
At least with Nigel involved, the odds looked better.
Nigel didn’t say a word. He just nodded.
Portia let out a heavy sigh of relief. “Thank you, Mr. Howell. I’m counting on you!”
Nigel only cast Portia a brief glance, then turned and walked off with Leland.
By the time Damien arrived, they were gone.
Calliope had forgotten to say goodbye in person, so she’d sent Damien a hurried text as she left—short on details, to say the least.
All Damien knew was that she’d gone, but not where or why. He spent frantic minutes searching before he finally spotted Portia.

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......
