A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust by Sally Garcia

Calliope and Silas went out for breakfast at Essence Delight.

Valerian tagged along too. He didn't eat much, just picked at his eggs Benedict, but when the check came, he was the one who paid.

It was only then that he realized how outrageously expensive the place was. Still, when he thought about how Calliope was planning to gift him an insanely pricey car, he felt the scales tip right back in his favor.

A little out of pocket, but a lot to gain! Yeah, he was definitely coming out on top.

If he just treated her a bit better, she'd surely return the favor. Maybe she'd even shower him with more expensive gifts. After all, Callie was loaded, and she knew he was always strapped for cash. She'd probably just slip him some extra money, no big deal.

Valerian was starting to really warm up to the idea of having a sister like her. With her fiancé being the richest guy in Capitalton, just a flick of his finger could send a fortune raining down.

After Silas left for the office, Calliope headed back to the Jewell Group.

As soon as she walked in, Franco swooped over, launching into a rapid-fire rundown of the day's business. Franco was a powerhouse. He kept the company running like a well-oiled machine. With him around, Calliope honestly didn't have to stress much about the day-to-day stuff.
