A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 15 Laird raised an eyebrow at his friends , already piecing it together .

Gideon really didnt have a clue .

Dude , just see for yourself .

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 wedding video started playing , his expression shifted .

In the video , Calliope was breathtaking in her wedding gown , moving with an effortless grace , almost otherworldly .

He had to admit , she looked stunning .

But something was off .

He hadnt been there that day , so who was the man she was holding onto ? The camera angle shifted , and his stomach twisted .

Calliope was arm in arm with Silas ! Gideons brows furrowed slightly , but he shrugged it off , glancing at Laird .

Whats so odd about that ? I wasnt there , so Uncle Silas walking her down the aisle is no big deal- just keeping the ceremony on track .

Keep watching .

They exchanged rings , took vows up there … Plus , the wedding setup was changed .

Your photos ? Gone .

Every wedding picture was of her and your uncle .

I think they planned this all along .

Oh , and they even got the marriage certificate .

Your uncle announced it on Twitter .

Thats not like him .

I heard he even handed out chocolates at the company .

His friends were buzzing , throwing him glances filled with pity .

Gideon was in disbelief , chuckling dryly .

Come on , youre pulling my leg , right ? No way ! Even as he said it , Gideon couldnt stop himself from checking Silass Twitter on his own phone .

When he saw that marriage certificate , it felt like his heart skipped a beat .

Silas had only posted two words : [ Got hitched .

] The photo was of a marriage certificate .

Gideons heart pounded as he took in the image- Silas and Calliope , dressed in matching outfits against a red backdrop .

Despite the candid shot , they looked effortlessly dazzling , like movie stars .

Especially Calliope … Her striking features , those captivating eyes , and that slight , enchanting smile cut straight through his heart .

For a moment , the world tilted .

What was going on ? What was happening here ? His exceptional uncle and that hopeless romantic Calliope ended up together ? Had the world lost its mind ? He was supposed to be the one marrying Calliope .

But shed had a wedding with his uncle .

So what did that make him ? Wait … what about Grandpa ? Wouldnt he have objected ? And Calliope , what was she thinking ? 1/2 15:56 Chapter 15 And his parents ? Why was he the only one left in the dark ? The hunger from earlier had completely vanished .

A storm of confusion surged through him as he frantically scrolled through trending topics and company messages on his phone .

As he silently absorbed the shock , Laird and the others fell quiet too .

No one spoke , understanding the magnitude of the blow Gideon had just received .

After reading everything , Gideons face was set in determination as he suddenly stood up .

Gideon , where are you going ? Laird asked hurriedly .

I mean , maybe let it go .

No one in your family objected during the wedding .

It looks like theyve accepted it .

Your uncles a powerhouse .

If he wants your girl , its just a snap of his fingers .

Honestly , I think Calliope planned this from the start .

Maybe her heart was never with you .

No.

My uncle wouldnt do this ! Gideon sneered , knowing full well his uncles nature .

Silas had always been indifferent toward women .

Rumors had even spread that he preferred men instead .
