Calliope fixed Damien with a concerned, no-nonsense stare. “How on earth did you end up dealing with Black Spider?”
“It’s not like we went looking for trouble!” Damien protested. “On our way to find you, we just ran into their crew. They were hunting for your group and, somehow, thought we were with you. I think Black Spider recognized Nigel—he lit up the second he saw him.”
“Honestly, this whole mess had nothing to do with us at first. We could have walked away.” Damien hesitated, guilt flickering across his face. “But I promised Nigel I’d help. He gave me a ride over here—felt like I owed it to him.”
He glanced at Calliope, searching her eyes. “Calliope, am I just making things worse for you?”
He couldn’t believe it: they’d set out to help Calliope, and now they were the ones in need of rescuing.
“Black Spider…” Calliope muttered, pinching the bridge of her nose. “That lunatic… If he’s got Nigel, things could get ugly.”
Damien’s face went pale. “Wait, are you saying Black Spider would force himself on Nigel? I mean—would he…”
“No, not that,” Calliope cut in, exasperated. “He’s twisted, but not in that way. He’s more… unpredictable. I don’t get why Nigel thought showing up here was the answer. As if I need someone to protect me…” She trailed off, shaking her head. “This is giving me a headache.”
Still, she added, “Nigel won’t get killed—at least not right away. Black Spider’s a maniac, but he won’t just end someone on a whim. He has his twisted rituals, takes his time.”
She sighed. “Nobody else can handle this. Black Spider’s operation is well-connected and dangerous.”
“And you’re saying not even Uriah can deal with him?” Damien asked, worry etched in every word.
Calliope shook her head. “No one here can. If I want to get Nigel out, I’ll have to go myself.” She glanced toward another room, voice heavy with frustration. “But I don’t have the time right now. Mavis still needs me.”
Her gaze softened as she looked back at Damien. She wanted to act immediately, but it simply wasn’t possible.

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......
