A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 10 Get out of this house .

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 her .

The portrait had been taken a year after Lisette arrived .

On the day of the shoot , Lisette had locked her away somewhere , and they had gone ahead and taken the picture without her .

They had even scolded her harshly , blaming her for wandering off .

She had tried to explain , but no one listened .

Later , at Lisettes insistence , the portrait was hung up , but she was never in it .

To all of you , Im just extra baggage .

From now on , I wont be coming back .

And just so you know , Silas and I are married .

Hes my husband now ! Calliope , whats with the drama ! Horatio stood up .

Do you really have to disrupt this family ? I know we treat Lisette well , but she deserves it ! Calliope turned , meeting Horatios gaze with a sharp , mocking smile .

Right , shes good to you , and Im not .

Lisette healed my leg .

Without her , Id be a cripple ! She saved Valerians life .

Without Lisette , he wouldnt be here ! Ulyssess success in the entertainment industry ? All thanks to Lisette ! You should be grateful ! Were grateful to Lisette , but we havent treated you poorly , have we ? Why are you always competing with her ? Calliope chuckled softly .

Oh , dont worry .

I wont compete with her anymore .

She saved them ; everything was thanks to her .

Ridiculously , no one believed it .

They were convinced it must be sweet and kind Lisette .

Not her , the wicked biological sister .

Fine .

She didnt belong .

She was leaving .

Calliope walked out , pulling her suitcases without a backward glance .

Zelda clutched her chest in frustration .

That ungrateful brat ! Forget her , shes just a jinx ! When she was born , the priest said shed bring bad luck to our family ! Its good shes gone .

Lisette will bring us good fortune ! Horatio sighed .

Shes only getting more and more unreasonable .

Valerian nodded .

Let her taste the real world .

Once she hits rock bottom , shell come crawling back .

Mom , dont blame her .

Maybe its my fault .

I shouldnt have come into our family .

Ive taken so much from her ; its normal for her to be upset .

Lisettes performance was flawless .

Its not your fault .

Its her own behavior ! Lisette , dont blame yourself .

This isnt on you ! Gideon returned later that evening .

1/2 15.55 AL .

Chapter 10 He had been out of town and only remembered the wedding was yesterday after getting a call from Lisette .

He wasnt too worried , though .

Calliope loved him deeply .

Even if he upset her , she couldnt go a day without apologizing and trying to please him .

It was just a wedding , after all .

She wanted to marry him so badly that even if he wasnt there , shed find a way to explain to the guests and keep the ceremony going .

Gideon glanced at his watch .

It was nearly the end of the workday , and knowing Calliope , she must be impatiently waiting to come find him .
