The interviews hadn’t started yet, but the director and the rest of the team were already settled in, prepping for the day. As soon as Calliope walked in, they waved her over with easy smiles.
“We’ve already done a first round of cuts,” one of them explained. “Everyone coming in now is a pretty solid fit.”
“We’ve handed out the sides already. The actors will be reading with one of our assistants. All that’s left is to see how they do.”
Calliope took a seat next to Zachary. He slid over a stack of headshots and résumés for her to look through.
“These are the ones who look and fit the part best,” he said quietly. “And their acting chops aren’t half bad, either.”
“But we can only pick five. So, even with this smaller group, the pressure’s on. Our job is just to find the ones who really click with the roles and, of course, can act.”
Calliope nodded, flipping through the files. Halfway through, she paused, surprised to see Ulysses’ name staring back at her.
She hadn’t expected that. Ulysses was auditioning, too?
Then again, it made sense. Zachary was a big name in the industry, and the script had been getting some buzz. Plus, with a powerhouse production company backing this show, pretty much everyone in the business would want a shot.
Ulysses was just another actor trying his luck. Nothing strange about that.
Still, she wondered what his reaction would be when he realized she was here as well. Odds were, he’d be shocked, maybe even think she didn’t belong.
The Jewell family had made it painfully clear they weren’t her biggest fans these days. They seemed to believe she’d stolen everything from them when her grandfather passed, inheriting what they thought was theirs by right.
Calliope didn’t let it bother her.
Noticing her brief pause, Zachary glanced over, curiosity flickering in his eyes. “What’s up, Callie? Spot someone you know? You know I’m not usually one for favoritism, but if it’s someone you vouch for, I could bend the rules for once.”

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......
