Chapter 31 When Calliope woke up the next morning, she found herself nestled snugly in Silas’s arms. She recalled that she’d been having nightmares, and it seemed like someone had held her, calming her down significantly. It must have been Silas who returned to the room and wrapped his arms

Chapter 30 Silas didn’t say a word, just raised his hand to press hers. “Once I give something away, I never take it back p> “Huh p> “It’s yours now p> Silas looked at her, a hint of something like irritation in his eyes. “But p> He didn’t let her

Chapter 29 Silas heard it, but he didn’t turn around. Only after Calliope settled into the car did he close the door and glance over at Gideon. “What is it p> “Uncle, do you mean it p> “Do I look like I’m joking p> Gideon fell silent, his face clouded

Chapter 28 Once upon a time, when Calliope was chasing after Gideon, everyone felt a bit sorry for her. She treated him so well, yet he seemed as indifferent as a cold pizza left out overnight. And then there was Yvette. People always said Yvette was different from Calliope, but

Chapter 27 Gideon was feeling incredibly awkward. Fleur was even more furious. “Oh, you two just love to run your mouths, don’t you p> “Yeah, we sure do,” Dahlia grinned and uttered. “Fleur, if you’re stingy with money, you’ll never get a good daughter-in-law. Look, now your son’s all alone,

Chapter 26 “But you didn’t marry her.” Eamon glanced up, coughing a bit. “Then those shares aren’t yours! They were meant for Callie. If you don’t want her, then I’ll just give them to her directly p> “But why her? I’m your grandson!” Gideon fumed. “Gideon, Callie saved my life.

Chapter 25 “You’re joking, right? Does Gideon need me to live up to him? Well, I’m giving him a chance, aren’t I? I’m not hogging his wife spot anymore. He can go ahead and marry Yvette now p> Calliope chuckled. “You must be quite fond of Yvette. Sure, she has

Chapter 24 Everyone knew that Eamon had promised Gideon a stake in the company if he married Calliope. But now that Calliope had backed out, those shares went up in smoke. Of course, Verity was gleeful about the whole situation. But Gideon’s mother, Fleur, wasn’t taking it so well. Her

Chapter 23 Eamon had arranged a family dinner that night. It was Silas’s idea, really. What was supposed to be the wedding ceremony for Calliope and Gideon had transformed into a wedding for Calliope and him. Knowing the family would be buzzing with questions, Silas suggested to Eamon that they

Chapter 22 Archie’s two older brothers were born to his father’s wife, while he himself was the son of the third mistress. The Yoder matriarch- a fierce and ruthless woman- tolerated her husband’s affairs but drew the line when it came to anyone threatening her sons’ inheritance. And so, after

Chapter 21 “Well, that’s a relief,” Mavis said, looking up with a slight smile. “My mentor once mentioned that Silas has a woman in his heart p> Calliope raised an eyebrow. “Who p> Portia leaned in, clearly intrigued. “No way! As far as I know, Silas has always kept women

Chapter 20 After saying her piece, she turned on her heel and walked briskly toward Damien. Damien glanced at Calliope, his eyes sparking with a newfound curiosity. Everyone at Myers Manor had heard of Calliope’s name. To be honest, most of them hadn’t thought much of her, believing she wasn’t

Chapter 19 “Can I have a word with him alone?” Calliope glanced at Silas. She worried that Gideon would keep pestering him. She knew Silas was a busy man, and there was no need for him to waste time on her matters. She could explain things to Gideon herself. Silas

Chapter 18 She wanted to ask him why he was so nice to her, but then she thought, surely he couldn’t actually like her. He must just have a grateful heart, remembering the favor she did for him. “Callie, Adah told you where the garage is, right? All the car

Chapter 17 At the breakfast table, Calliope glanced at Silas, words hanging on the tip of her tongue. “If you’ve got something to say, just say it. I don’t bite,” Silas remarked, his eyes lifting slightly with a hint of mischief. “Treat me like you would anyone else p> “It’s

Chapter 16 He couldn’t possibly like someone like Calliope, not a chance! Calliope was… honestly, kind of a mess. She had no real skills, just latched onto him, doing housework- things a nanny would do. His uncle wasn’t blind. There was no way he’d fall for a woman like that.

Chapter 15 Laird raised an eyebrow at his friends, already piecing it together. Gideon really didn’t have a clue. “Dude, just see for yourself p> He pulled out his phone, opened a video, and handed it to Gideon. Gideon, a bit puzzled, glanced at the screen. As soon as the

Chapter 14 Gideon answered the phone and stepped out. In the private booth, as soon as Gideon sat down, his friends gave him these pitying looks. “Gideon, man, we know this must be tough for you. But what can you do? I mean, he’s your uncle, right? You just have

Chapter 13 Calliope stood so close to Silas she could catch the scent of his cologne, a comforting blend of cedarwood and something warm, like cinnamon. Her eyes flicked up to meet his, and a flutter of panic stirred in her chest. She had always focused on Gideon, holding Silas

Chapter 12 Gideon practically bounced with excitement as he made his way home, his mind filled with the comforting image of a warm, welcoming house. He imagined Calliope, his wife, having everything ready for him. He couldn’t stop thinking about her famous pot roast- the kind that filled the house
