Chapter 15 Laird raised an eyebrow at his friends , already piecing it together .
Gideon really didnt have a clue .
Dude , just see for yourself .
He pulled out his phone , opened a video , and handed it to Gideon .
Gideon , a bit puzzled , glanced at the screen .
As soon as the wedding video started playing , his expression shifted .
In the video , Calliope was breathtaking in her wedding gown , moving with an effortless grace , almost otherworldly .
He had to admit , she looked stunning .
But something was off .
He hadnt been there that day , so who was the man she was holding onto ? The camera angle shifted , and his stomach twisted .
Calliope was arm in arm with Silas ! Gideons brows furrowed slightly , but he shrugged it off , glancing at Laird .
Whats so odd about that ? I wasnt there , so Uncle Silas walking her down the aisle is no big deal- just keeping the ceremony on track .
Keep watching .
They exchanged rings , took vows up there … Plus , the wedding setup was changed .
Your photos ? Gone .
Every wedding picture was of her and your uncle .
I think they planned this all along .
Oh , and they even got the marriage certificate .
Your uncle announced it on Twitter .
Thats not like him .
I heard he even handed out chocolates at the company .
His friends were buzzing , throwing him glances filled with pity .
Gideon was in disbelief , chuckling dryly .
Come on , youre pulling my leg , right ? No way ! Even as he said it , Gideon couldnt stop himself from checking Silass Twitter on his own phone .
When he saw that marriage certificate , it felt like his heart skipped a beat .
Silas had only posted two words : [ Got hitched .
] The photo was of a marriage certificate .
Gideons heart pounded as he took in the image- Silas and Calliope , dressed in matching outfits against a red backdrop .
Despite the candid shot , they looked effortlessly dazzling , like movie stars .
Especially Calliope … Her striking features , those captivating eyes , and that slight , enchanting smile cut straight through his heart .
For a moment , the world tilted .
What was going on ? What was happening here ? His exceptional uncle and that hopeless romantic Calliope ended up together ? Had the world lost its mind ? He was supposed to be the one marrying Calliope .
But shed had a wedding with his uncle .
So what did that make him ? Wait … what about Grandpa ? Wouldnt he have objected ? And Calliope , what was she thinking ? 1/2 15:56 Chapter 15 And his parents ? Why was he the only one left in the dark ? The hunger from earlier had completely vanished .
A storm of confusion surged through him as he frantically scrolled through trending topics and company messages on his phone .
As he silently absorbed the shock , Laird and the others fell quiet too .
No one spoke , understanding the magnitude of the blow Gideon had just received .
After reading everything , Gideons face was set in determination as he suddenly stood up .
Gideon , where are you going ? Laird asked hurriedly .
I mean , maybe let it go .
No one in your family objected during the wedding .
It looks like theyve accepted it .
Your uncles a powerhouse .
If he wants your girl , its just a snap of his fingers .
Honestly , I think Calliope planned this from the start .
Maybe her heart was never with you .
No.
My uncle wouldnt do this ! Gideon sneered , knowing full well his uncles nature .
Silas had always been indifferent toward women .
