A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 886
Her self-control was way worse than either of them—worse than Mavis, even.
That’s why, most of the time, she needed both of them—her and Mavis—looking out for her.
Whenever they were around, things were so much better. But the moment she was left to her own devices, she’d spiral out of control more often than not.
“I know,” Portia shrugged, picking at her salad. “My brother gave you the cash just so you could keep an eye on me. Plus, he knows we’re loaded. He probably figures if he gives us enough money to play with, we’ll get bored and stop after a while.”
Gambling, though—there’s no real end to it, right? It’s never just one game. You play a little, and before you know it you’re hooked. Suddenly, you just have to win, and if you don’t… Well, that’s it. Game over.
Normally, Crispin would never let her set foot in a casino. The only reason he allowed it this time was because Callie was with her—otherwise, no way.
Portia knew all this. She didn’t argue.
The three of them headed to the bistro first, grabbing a bite before the games started.
Damien had planned to sit a couple of tables away, but Calliope waved him over. “Come on, don’t just lurk over there. Sit with us!”
So Damien slid in across from them, still looking like he’d rather be anywhere else.
Calliope took a bite of her burger, then grinned. “So, Damien, you want to join in? I can spot you some chips if you want.”
Damien nearly choked on his fries. “Ma’am, I’m here to protect you, not to gamble!”
“I’m technically on the clock, you know? If Mr. Myers ever found out I was playing, he’d probably have my head.”
Honestly, just sitting here eating with them felt like breaking the rules. He was Mr. Myers’ guy, after all—he had to keep to the code.
Calliope was the boss.
“He won’t find out,” Calliope said breezily. “If you want to play, just say the word. I’ll front you the chips.”
She just shrugged, cool as ever. “It’s not all that. I lose sometimes, too. I just get lucky now and then.”
Damien nodded, chewing thoughtfully. After a few bites, he pulled out his phone and sent a quick update to Silas.
Calliope watched him, suspicious. “Who’re you texting?”
“No one,” Damien said quickly, switching apps. “Just playing a game.”
He flashed his screen at her—some pointless mobile game.
Calliope narrowed her eyes. “You’re not reporting to Silas, are you?”

The readers' comments on the novel: A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust
Oh wrestling expert ey? So is this Khamzat Chimaev or Shavkat Rakhmonov? Because Khabib's would be too haram....
Oh no. Million is just mix of Conor McGregor, Islam Makhachev, Mike Tyson, Max Holloway, Anderson Silva... I bet he lands 5sec flying knees like Jorge Masvidal too. Oh nope, 1sec knees. And has faster left hooks than Alex Pereira. Definitely would win UFC championship in every weight division including women. Poor Zhang Weili....
Okay so.... Million is now from East. Arctic wolf from East, modified genetically so he can manage his own Instagram and probably also box like Mike Tyson and snapping left hooks like Alex Pereira....
This is starting to be the same twister of abilities as Cassandra Yates and Tiffany. But question is, why the hell Silas can't just open his mouth and tell Caliope that she's the one whom he has in his heart. He would prevent a lot of misunderstanding. Seems like despite capability of talking with modified arctic wolf, she's not like telepathic....
Oh no, so FL is again another hidden genius with both hemispheres working on hundreds... Ffffuuuu. Cassandra Yates and Tiffany were already enough, ughugh. And Tiffany was even more exaggerated than Cassandra....
That's weird, in the first chapters there was said that her bio parents and bros doteď on Caliope but then they adopted Lisette, but this chapter suddenly says otherwise. Did author forget what he wrote?...
I REALLLYYY REALLLYYYY REALLYYYYYY WANT TO SLAP THE 3 BROTHERS WHENEVER THEY OPEN THEIR MOUTH !!! AND THEIR MOM !!!...
Why has this not been updated ?? there were 5 more chapters which was released and it has not been updated.. Please do update on regular basis......
