Calliope froze for a moment. Blackhawk was about to walk away when she grabbed his arm and pulled him back.
“What did you just say?”
“There’s someone on this cruise who’s plotting against me?”
“Who is it?”
Blackhawk shook his head. “I didn’t catch much, just overheard something about someone targeting you. I’m not sure what they’re planning, or who’s behind it. Just… keep your eyes open, okay?”
Calliope’s mind raced. After a moment, a name popped up: Blythe.
Could it really be her? Wouldn’t be the craziest thing.
“Did you piss anyone off recently?” Blackhawk asked.
Calliope shook her head. She couldn’t think of any other enemies.
“Anything else? If not, I gotta get going,” Blackhawk said, glancing at his watch. “I’ve got other stuff to take care of.”
“Alright, thanks,” Calliope said.
“No problem. I mean, you paid me, right?” Blackhawk flashed a grin.
He disappeared down the hallway.
Calliope turned, ready to go find Portia, when suddenly a racket erupted ahead—shouting, shrieking, and, unmistakably, Portia’s voice in the mix.
Portia was arguing with someone!
Without thinking, Calliope sprinted toward the commotion.
A crowd had gathered, blocking the hallway, and she could hear Portia’s unmistakable voice cursing at someone.
“What’s happening?” Calliope asked, grabbing a bystander’s arm as she tried to elbow her way through.
“No clue, just two women going at it,” the guy said, eyes wide. “It’s wild—they’re pulling each other’s hair out!”
Calliope groaned inwardly.


Lisette’s face was flushed with rage. She rubbed her scalp and glared at Calliope and Portia. “Calliope, did you tell her to do this?”
“Callie!” Portia whined, her hair a tangled disaster. She clung to Calliope’s arm, looking pitiful. “She started it!”
Calliope stepped protectively in front of Portia, like a mama hen shielding her chick.
She eyed Lisette, then turned to her friend. “Portia, what happened? She pick a fight?”

“She’s vicious. Seriously, it hurt like hell! But I got her back. I’m not someone who just stands there and takes it.”
“She thought I was an easy target? Please.”
“She grabs my hair, I grab hers right back. I wasn’t about to let go. And look, I even got a whole handful!” Portia waved the clump of hair triumphantly.
“Baldy!” she shot over her shoulder at Lisette, who looked like she’d rather be anywhere else.

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......
