A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust by Sally Garcia

Gideon was glaring daggers at Calliope from across the room. He thought she should have helped them by now.

But here they were, and she hadn't uttered a single word.

Calliope was at a loss for words herself. How could he be this unreasonable?

"Gideon, you're the one who tried to throw me under the bus, and now you expect me to bail you out? If you hadn't tried to mess with me, none of this would be happening. It's called getting what you deserve!"

Calliope casually munched on some popcorn. She couldn't be bothered to deal with Gideon's tantrum.

Silas, surveying the group that had tried to corner Calliope earlier, ordered, "Give them some aphrodisiac and lock them in a room with Fleur."

"Got it!" Damien nodded immediately.

Calliope froze for a moment, her gaze darting toward Silas. His expression was cold and unyielding; he wasn't joking around. She could sense that they had truly pushed him over the edge this time.

Silas had earned his reputation through more than just good looks and charm. People feared his name for a reason—when he was angry, he was downright terrifying.

Calliope shot a sympathetic glance at Fleur.
