A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust by Sally Garcia

Chapter 145

Calliope said she didn't need a big fuss for her birthday, but Silas had other plans. He wanted to celebrate, though he kept it low-key and didn't spread the word far and wide.

Instead, he booked the banquet hall at the finest hotel in Capitalton and had it beautifully decorated. However, he only invited close friends and family, keeping it intimate.

Calliope had no idea about any of it. Silas had orchestrated everything secretly, and it wasn't until her birthday that he took her to try on a dress that she started to suspect something was up.

Even then, Silas kept his cards close to his chest, not uttering a word about the occasion as she slipped into the elegant gown.

Calliope had her suspicions but played along, waiting patiently for the surprise Silas was planning for her. Silas had called in the top stylists in Capitalton to work their magic on Calliope. She was already a natural beauty, with an effortless grace that seemed otherworldly. Even without makeup, she had a serene elegance, like a fairy-tale princess.

Known for their almost magical touch, the stylists enhanced her natural beauty with subtle elegance. And with the custom-made gown Silas had commissioned-one of a kind in the world-Calliope looked absolutely radiant, every bit the princess.
