Calliope heard Gideon’s words, but she didn’t even acknowledge him. It was like he hadn’t spoken at all.
Gideon hadn’t expected her to ignore him. He frowned and hurried after her. “Callie, I just wanted to say I’m sorry. I know I messed up. I know there’s no fixing things between us, but I still want to apologize. I’m not asking for forgiveness.”
Calliope shot him a look like he’d just sprouted a second head.
Did he really have the nerve to say something like that now?
Did he honestly think she was still the same Calliope she’d been before?
Did he think a few sweet words would be enough to win her over?
Calliope knew Gideon all too well. This was classic him—trying to worm his way back in, playing the same old game.
He’d always been quick to admit he was wrong, quick to charm her back. If she hadn’t learned the hard way—if she hadn’t seen right through him after everything that happened—she might have fallen for it again.
But things had changed. Calliope had changed. She wasn’t that Calliope anymore.
She gave him a little laugh, almost pitying.
“Maybe you should save those lines for Yvette,” she said. “You don’t need to apologize to me, Gideon. Truth is, I don’t care anymore. Whatever you did—it doesn’t matter to me now.”
Gideon gazed at Calliope with a look of wounded sincerity. “No matter what you say, I still need to apologize.”
He gave a bitter, self-deprecating laugh. “I really didn’t get it before. I know I was wrong, but it’s too late for all that now.”
He’d spent time hating her, resenting her, but once it all fell apart he realized too late what he’d lost. He realized she was the one who’d truly cared for him.
He couldn’t even figure out how things had gotten so bad.
One wrong step, and everything unraveled.
He’d lost his job at the Baker family’s company. Gone was the golden boy, the heir apparent. Now he was scraping by at some small business a friend had thrown his way, barely making ends meet.

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......
