The wedding is about to start , and the grooms gone AWOL .
How do you think that looks ? Calliope didnt bother responding .
She simply met her parents gaze with that familiar , indifferent stare .
This was the first time she had seen them since her rebirth .
It was only when they were about to be humiliated that they finally paid her any mind .
Otherwise , they wouldnt have cared if she had vanished off the face of the earth .
In her past life , when she was dying and pleaded for help , they were busy planning a grand birthday party for Lisette , their adopted daughter .
They were all smiles and laughter , while she was drowning in despair .
Lisettes birthday had become her death anniversary .
Calliope , why cant you just give us some peace ? Youre embarrassing not just us , but Lisette too .
Both of you are our daughters .
I dont expect you to be as accomplished as Lisette , but at least dont cause trouble .
Zelda huffed , exasperated .
Calliope remained impassive .
Dont worry .
The wedding will go on as planned .
Just wait outside .
Monty studied her for a moment , then gave a slight nod before leading Zelda out of the room .
Once their parents were gone , Lisette turned to Calliope with a smirk , leaning in to whisper , Calliope , youre going to be the talk of the town today .
There wont be a groom at your wedding ! Gideons run off to see Yvette , and he wont be back for days ! Smack ! A sharp slap rang through the room .
Lisette staggered back , eyes wide .
Youre insane ! she cried , clutching her stinging cheek .
Calliope met her gaze with an icy , unwavering stare .
Yes , Im insane .
And you havent seen the half of it .
A chill crept down Lisettes spine .
This wasnt the timid , self effacing girl she was used to manipulating .
Calliope had always been the underdog , overshadowed by their parents favoritism toward Lisette .
But today , something had shifted .
There was a quiet , unnerving resolve in her .
Calliope left the room and headed to another suite in the hotel .
Inside , Eamon Baker and Silas Myers awaited her .
Eamon was Gideons grandfather , an elderly man still sharp and spirited .
Silas , on the other hand , was Gideons uncle , adopted as the youngest son of the Baker family and now its most influential figure .
He stood at the pinnacle of Capitaltons power , revered and feared by many .
Aside from Eamon , there wasnt a single person in the Baker family who didnt respect him .
Gideons gone , is he ? Eamon asked , his white hair contrasting with his lively demeanor .
Calliope nodded .
Does your offer still stand ? I owe you my life .
As long as youre certain , I have no objections , Silas replied from the couch opposite 1/2 15:54 Chapter Eamon .
There was an air of authority about him- his sharp , penetrating gaze could make anyone uneasy .
It was no wonder people found him intimidating .
That boy Gideon is a fool .
Hell regret this one day .
If he cant see straight , we certainly can .
Eamon declared as he stood .
Silas , do as agreed with Callie .
Swap the groom in the wedding and erase any trace of Gideon .
If Callie chooses you , treat her well .
The wedding will proceed .
With a sigh , Eamon exited the room .
Now , it was just Calliope and Silas .
Calliope sneaked a glance at him , but hesitated to meet his gaze directly .
Silas Myers was the most enigmatic and formidable man in their world .
His eyes held a power that was both compelling and inscrutable .
