A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust by Sally Garcia

"I'm gonna kick Calliope out and get with Silas myself, just you watch!" Yvette shot Gideon a smug look as she spoke, practically glowing with confidence.

"Gideon, relax. If I ever hit it big, I'll remember to thank you. If it wasn't for you being my stepping stone, I'd never have gotten close to Silas in the first place!"

Just thinking about the possibility of Silas coming to see her made her giddy. She'd have to find a way to reel him in somehow.

Yvette was always pretty sure of her looks, and she knew men are at their most reckless when they're disappointed. She'd even bought a little something special —a kind of "magic potion" if you will. Just a few drops of it in the room would have Silas wrapped around her finger, she was certain.

At first, Gideon didn't quite understand what she was saying. He was used to Yvette claiming she had feelings for him, so hearing her suddenly talk about going after Silas left him totally stunned. It took him a good minute to really process what she'd said.

He stared at Yvette, disbelief all over his face. "What did you just say? You want to seduce Uncle Silas?"

"Yvette, are you out of your mind? You're my wife, and you want to go after my uncle? What the hell is wrong with you?"

He shot her a look up and down, as if seeing her for the first time.
