Gideon , maybe you should eat first .

Calliope let out a deep sigh of relief when she heard Silas was heading to the study for work .

Even though they had signed an agreement , and she knew full well what it entailed , her nerves still got the better of her now that the moment was here .

Silas was undeniably handsome , the kind of man who commanded attention with both his looks and presence .

But he was once her high and mighty uncle .

The thought of being with him still felt surreal .

Having endured tragedy once before , she had been given a second chance- a chance she refused to waste .

She thought shed have to put in a ton of effort , but everything had gone so smoothly .

After washing up , she returned to the bedroom .

It was Silass room , his scent lingering on the bed .

Since her rebirth , nightmares had plagued her , the shadows of her past never truly letting go .

But last night , for the first time , she had slept without a single bad dream .

Feeling a bit tired , she quickly fell asleep .

She wasnt sure when Silas had come to bed , but the moment she felt the warmth of his hands wrap around her , awareness slammed into her .

She stiffened , too nervous to move .

Did I wake you ? Silass voice was husky and low .

Calliope stayed silent , pretending to be asleep .

And Silas didnt call her bluff .

He simply held her gently , whispering , Go back to sleep .

Nothing happened that night .

Calliope slept peacefully .

But when she opened her eyes the next morning , she found Silas gazing at her .

She was startled , her brain taking a moment to catch up .

His eyes held a deep , intense emotion as he looked at her so directly .

Uncle ! she blurted out , still groggy and a bit flustered .

His warm hand was still resting on her waist .

Who are you calling uncle ? 1/2 15.56 Chapter 16 Uh … Silas ! Calliope stammered awkwardly .

I … I should get up ! She practically bolted to the bathroom , closing the door behind her .

She caught a glimpse of her reflection in the mirror , her face flushed crimson .

This was the first time she had ever shared a bed with a man … not just any man , but her exs uncle .

Even though he was her husband now , she still couldnt quite wrap her head around it .

How was she supposed to act normal around him now ? After freshening up , Calliope lingered in front of the door , hesitating .

She took a deep breath , willing herself to act natural .

But before she could move , Silass deep , comforting voice came from the other side .

Are you afraid of me ?
