Calliope sat quietly, her face unreadable, as Valerian spoke from the stage.
He really was putting on a show, looking every bit the heartbroken brother who’d just been stabbed in the back.
“We always believed Callie was our little sister,” Valerian said, voice trembling. “We treated her like family. Sure, sometimes we acted a bit off, but maybe deep down, we sensed something wasn’t right, that she wasn’t really ours.”
“I mean, come on, doesn’t anyone else think it’s weird that Callie never looked anything like the rest of us? The three of us boys, we’re the spitting image of our parents. But Callie? Not even close.”
“She was raised by our granddad from the time she was a baby, so none of us ever questioned it. We just… trusted him.”
“But now, after all these years, we just found out she’s not our real sister. Our real sister died a long time ago.”
“And Calliope knew. She knew the whole time and never told us! She used our love for our sister against us. She lied. She tricked us.”
“Now Grandpa’s gone. We don’t even know exactly how he died. But honestly? I can’t help but wonder if Calliope had a hand in it.”
“Everyone knows she’s a brilliant doctor. It wouldn’t have been hard for her to… well, make sure an old man slipped away quietly.”
“Our whole family regrets it now. We regret not being more attentive to my grandpa. We regret not questioning Calliope’s story from the start.”
“We’re not just here because of Grandpa’s will. We’re here because we loved him. We’re here because it hurts to think the granddaughter he cherished might’ve been the very reason he’s gone.”
Valerian’s voice wavered, his eyes glistening.

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......
