Chapter 56

"Damien, | packed all this food, most of it untouched. Take it back to your buddies, will you? This place has some

pretty good grub!"

"Thanks, ma'am!" Damien replied, looking genuinely grateful.

Damien and Gideon then started loading the bags into the car.

Gideon had figured Calliope might want to take a stroll and chat for a bit. But to his surprise, Calliope hopped

right into the car.

Gideon looked at her, perplexed. "Weren't you going to talk with me?"

"Hop in, we'll chat in the car," Calliope said, nodding towards the passenger seat.

"Uh?" Gideon glanced over at Damien, a bit hesitant.

He knew Damien was his uncle's right-hand man. It felt a bit inappropriate to discuss personal matters

with Calliope in the car; even though his uncle and Calliope might just be putting on an act, he still felt

uncomfortable.

"Mr. Baker, you getting in?"

Damien asked after a moment of waiting. "There's a car waiting behind us."

Realizing they were holding up traffic, Gideon quickly got into the car.

Inside, Calliope was engrossed in a gon her phone, showing no intention of starting the conversation.

Gideon's expression darkened. "Callie, you said you wanted to talk. Why aren't you saying anything? What are

we going to do about us?"

Calliope remained silent, her fingers dancing swiftly as the sound of the gfilled in the air.

Gideon was growing more frustrated by the second.

After a few more attempts to get her attention, Calliope finally looked up. "I won! What were you saying?" Gideon

was speechless.

"Oh, you mentioned us? What about us? You mean the marriage thing?

I don't mind, but you should talk to Silas. | have no idea if he'll letgo. We're already legally married, so

I'd have to get a divorce before anything else. Maybe you could convince Silas to divorce me?"

Calliope gazed at Gideon with earnestness.

Gideon was incredulous, feeling a surge of anger. He stared at Calliope in utter disbelief.

"You took my money, and now this?"

"| took the money, sure, but not to marry you. It was for all the mental damage. | made that perfectly clear, and |

even recorded it if you need a reminder," Calliope said, maintaining her composure. "A person's got to be

honest. You're not going back on your word, are you? Or is the money that important to you? Are you really that

broke?"

"Calliope!!!" Gideon roared, his eyes flashing with anger. He felt utterly betrayed, played like a fool. He had

hoped she was going to apologize, but nothing of the sort happened.

Nothing is more infuriating than having hope only to see it dashed.

Gideon was seething with rage now.

"Damien, he looks so terrifying! He's yelling at me. Can we let him out of the car?" Calliope whimpered, shrinking

into the corner, feigning tears.

Damien immediately hit the brakes and pulled over, swiftly getting out to open the door.

"Mr. Baker, you need to show srespect to our lady, your aunt-in-law!"
