Chapter 60
Ever since her rebirth, almost every night was plagued by nightmares, forcing her to relive the darkest and most
painful moments of her past. But whenever Silas was around, an inexplicable calm would settle over
her.
The next afternoon, Calliope received a call from Fleur while She was staring blankly into the backyard of her
fondue restaurant.
On the other end, Fleur was cussing her out vehemently. "Calliope, you'll regret this. If Gideon marries another
woman, it'll be too late for tears!"
Calliope's response was cool and measured as she replied, "Well, then | hope my dear nephew finds someone
soon. You'd love to be a grandmother, wouldn't you?"

Fleur was momentarily speechless, her frustration bubbling over. "Calliope, aren't you worried about Gideon
marrying someone else?"
"Why should | be? His marriage won't change a thing for me. I'll still be his aunt-in-law, and don't worry, the
wedding gift fromwill be generous," Calliope said with a sly smile. "Yvette seems like a good match. Why
don't you arrange something? Gideon's not getting any younger; he should settle down before it's too late!"
"You! Calliope, you're impossible!" Fleur huffed before hanging up in a fury.
Calliope took a leisurely sip of her iced coffee, the sun warming her face just right. With nothing better to do, she
scrolled through her Twitter feed.
To her amusement, she stumbled upon a post Gideon had shared earlier that morning. It was a selfie of him and
Yvette, looking quite cozy together.
Below Gideon's tweet was Yvette's own post with the sphoto, thanking him and announcing that she was
now his personal assistant and ready to give it her all.
How interesting, Calliope mused. Gideon had brought Yvette into his company. As far as she knew, Yvette wasn't
particularly skilled and had a reputation for being difficult to get along with. Her working with Gideon was sure to
ruffle sfeathers.
It was clear this little Twitter display was meant for her eyes. Calliope barely knew Yvette, but Yvette had added
her on Twitter, making her intentions obvious: to provoke Calliope.
There was a twhen Yvette's antics would have gotten under her skin, leading to heated arguments
with Gideon.
But no more.
Calliope realized that to someone who didn't love her, even her most desperate pleas were as

insignificant as swinging on a swing set.
Now, these tweets barely registered with her. Just two people trying to get a rise out of her. If she let them, she'd
only be playing the fool.
Instead of being bothered, Calliope casually liked both of their posts and left a comment.
"Congrats, Gideon! When's the wedding? I've got the gift ready!"
Calliope's comment quickly stirred up a storm.
Friends and acquaintances of Calliope and Gideon began to like and comment on the post.
Some, unaware of the situation, congratulated Gideon on his stealthy engagement. Others joked about
how Gideon missed being the groom last tand shouldn't let someone else beat him to it now.
Before long, Calliope noticed Silas had also commented below her post.
