Both Damien and Nigel watched Calliope, waiting for her to make the final call. Despite their attempts to persuade her, they both knew full well—the choice was hers and hers alone. If she decided to stay, they would stay by her side. If she was leaving, they’d leave too. Walking away on their own was simply not on the table; everything hinged on Calliope.
“It’s exactly because his situation is so complicated that taking him to Capitalton just isn’t an option,” Calliope sighed. “There are people there who could make his episodes even worse. He can’t go to Capitalton.”
“So you’re saying the root of his condition is in Capitalton?” Nigel asked thoughtfully. “If that’s true, wouldn’t it make more sense to confront it head-on rather than avoid it?”
She nodded. “Normally, you’d be right. But Black Spider isn’t a normal case. That method just won’t work with him.” She pressed her fingers to her temples, feeling a rising tension. Her way might not even work at all.
Black Spider was a particularly thorny problem. She’d consulted top-notch psychiatrists—no one could offer a solution. At this point, his illness had progressed so far that his core personality was slipping away.
“I don’t even know if I can help him,” she admitted quietly. “But I have to try. I promised him I’d give it one more shot. I need to keep that promise.”
She managed a weary smile for Nigel. “The good thing is, even if Jasper comes to the surface, he doesn’t like me, sure, but he wouldn’t actually hurt me. You, though—he seems to have quite the fixation on you. So, Mr. Howell, you’re free. You should get out of here while you can.”
She turned to Damien. “If this scares you, go with Mr. Howell. Once everything’s dealt with, I’ll head back to Capitalton myself.”
“No way!” Damien shot back instantly. “Wherever you go, I go. My job is to protect you, and that’s exactly what I’m going to do! Even if this place is dangerous, I’ll stay here and keep you safe. I won’t let any harm come to you.”

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......
