A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust by Sally Garcia

Bang!

Just when Calliope was still lost in thought, the door suddenly flew open with a forceful kick.

Gabriel nearly fell flat on his backside.

Gideon, who was writhing in pain, forgot all about his broken leg at the sudden commotion.

Fleur instinctively turned her gaze toward the door.

A shadowy figure loomed at the entrance, emanating a chilling aura. His eyes, cold as ice, surveyed the room.

When his gaze landed on Calliope, the knot in Silas's throat finally loosened.

He knew she was tough, knew she could fend for herself. He was well aware she'd be alright.

But still, worry gnawed at him, fear clawed at his insides. He had gathered his crew to find her, his heart in his throat every step of the way. The mere thought of her getting hurt, even a scratch, terrified him.

Thankfully, she was unharmed. She didn't look too pleased, but at least she was still munching on peanuts.

"Mr. Myers-" Gabriel plastered on a smile, hoping to explain the situation to Silas. He needed to convey that it was all a misunderstanding, that he hadn't intended to harm Calliope.
