Chapter 10 “Get out of this house p> Calliope cast a glance at Monty, then at her three brothers, and finally at Zelda and Lisette standing on the stairs. She turned her head to look at the family portrait hanging on the wall. Ironically, it featured the entire family-everyone except
Chapter 9 “Calliope, enough already! Are you raiding your sister’s room or what? Look at this mess p> Zelda stood in the doorway, clutching her chest as if she were about to have a heart attack. The once picture-perfect princess suite was now a whirlwind of chaos. “Zelda, everything I’m
Chapter 8 “Sorry for what? Explain yourself. What did you do that makes you think you owe me an apology?” Calliope smirked. “Lisette, why do you always feel the need to say sorry? If you really mean it, then get on your knees and apologize! Is ‘sorry’ just a word
Chapter 7 After breakfast, Silas and Calliope headed to the county clerk’s office. The marriage certificate was in their hands in no time. “Uncle Silas, I know you’re busy. Now that we’ve got the marriage certificate, you can head back to work. I need to visit home,” Calliope said as
Chapter 6 “Callie’s exhausted, so I’m taking her home,” Silas announced, cutting through the chatter without giving anyone a chance to object. He briskly led Calliope away from the group, leaving behind a trail of curious stares. On their way out, they bumped into Mavis and her friends. Calliope leaned
Chapter 5 Lisette wore a mask of concern, but inside, she was practically giddy with anticipation. She was itching to see Calliope make a fool of herself. If things went as planned, the Jewell family would despise Calliope even more, pushing her further down the social ladder within the family.
Chapter 4 So, she put her trust in Silas. He had once said he owed her a life. And that meant, if she ever needed something, she could ask him for anything. It was a secret known only to the two of them. So, after her rebirth, she went straight
Chapter 3 A month ago, Calliope had begun planning for this day, her wedding day. It was exactly a month ago that she had been given a second chance at life. She knew how this was supposed to go. Gideon would leave her for his true love, and she would
Chapter 2 “Calliope, did you chase Gideon away again?” Zelda’s voice carried its usual air of authority. “Can’t you just be more like Lisette for once? Why must you always stir up trouble? You insisted on marrying Gideon, and now that it’s happening, you’re not even trying to hold onto
Chapter 1 In the bridal suite of the hotel, Calliope Jewell glanced up at her reflection in the mirror. She was dressed in a stunning white wedding gown, her long hair elegantly pinned up, with a veil trailing to the floor, just barely revealing her porcelain shoulders. A dazzling diamond
Chapter 60 Amara didn’t hesitate. She took a third step, then a fourth, her pace quickening. She wasn’t running out of fear; she was walking out of pure, cold indifference. She didn’t care if he lived or died anymore, she just wanted her life back. “Amara, stop!” Seb’s voice finally
Chapter 59 Amara carved the names over and over, her fingers bleeding. She knew she was losing time. Her thoughts were becoming sluggish, the medicine Seb was forcing into her system making it hard to focus. “I won’t forget,” she sobbed, her breath hitching as she tucked the rug back
Chapter 58 The tension in the villa was a living thing, thick and suffocating. For Seb, the next thirty days were a countdown to a rebirth; for Amara, they were a descent into a waking nightmare. Amara is in the master suite, a gilded cage with bolted windows. Every time
Chapter 57 The air in the dimly lit study felt thick with the scent of old paper and desperation. Seb sat hunched over his laptop, the blue light reflecting in his pupils like a cold fire. He wasn’t looking for a way to apologize; he was looking for a way
Chapter 56 Back in the Pedro mansion, Amira was pacing the floor. The fun was starting to sour. She had checked the news and saw that some investors were withdrawing all their investments from the Pedro shipping lines. She had tried to play the CEO, but the board of directors
Chapter 55 Amira narrowed her eyes, her voice rising to a shrill, defensive peak. “I don’t know what you’re talking about! I am Amara! I thought you were a gentleman, Julian, but I see now you’re just as stupid as Seb, no, worse! At least he never laid a hand
Chapter 54 Amara curled herself into a ball on the bed, her body shaking. It was a strange, sickening pain. Part of her felt a twisted pity seeing the once-proud Seb Creed reduced to a man scavenging fruit off the floor, but the larger part of her felt a cold,
Chapter 53 Amira sat behind the massive desk in the Pedro CEO’s office, staring at the mountain of folders as if they were written in a foreign language. When the head of operations asked for her signature on a multi-million dollar merger, she felt a headache coming on. “Listen,” she
Chapter 52 The place of quiet, Julian promised, was a secluded villa tucked away by a private lake. There were no flashing cameras, no ringing phones, and no shadows of the past. For the first time in a decade, Amara felt the weight of the Pedro Empire lift off her
Chapter 51 The morning sun streamed into the Pedro estate, and for the first time since Amara’s return, the atmosphere felt light. Madam Pedro beamed as she watched Amara handle her morning coffee with a newfound glow. “I haven’t seen you look this at peace in a decade,” Madam Pedro
