Chapter 20 After saying her piece , she turned on her heel and walked briskly toward Damien .
Damien glanced at Calliope , his eyes sparking with a newfound curiosity .
Everyone at Myers Manor had heard of Calliopes name .
To be honest , most of them hadnt thought much of her , believing she wasnt worthy of Mr.
Myers .
But now , his opinion was starting to change .
She handled things decisively and efficiently .
With that petite frame of hers , she had just flipped Gideon over her shoulder with ease .
Interesting .
The rumors about her being head over heels for Gideon seemed greatly exaggerated .

If she were so smitten , why did she marry Mr.
Myers instead ? And when Gideon tried to force a kiss on her , she gave him a sound slap and a firm toss to the ground .
Truly it was incredibly satisfying to watch .
Maam , Mr.
Myers asked me to accompany you today , Damien said .
Wherever you need to go , just let me know .
Alright .
Calliope settled into the back seat and handed Damien an address .
Without hesitation , Damien drove off .
Gideon , just having picked himself off the ground , watched as the car sped by , leaving him in a cloud of exhaust .
His face turned ashen with shock and anger .
Calliope … couldnt possibly not love him .
But if she kept acting like this , he might just give up on her for good .
Family dinner , huh ? Then hed like to go back home and demand some answers from his grandfather .
In the café , Calliope sat with Mavis Shepherd and Portia Sutton , explaining the wedding fiasco .
She didnt need to say much ; Portia and Mavis had already pieced most of it together .
After she finished , Portia gave a thumbs up .
Nicely done ! Gideon was a deadbeat .
You shouldve ditched him ages ago ! Gideon must be fuming , huh ? Mavis chuckled .
Calliope nodded .
Oh , hes beyond furious .
He cant even wrap his head around it .
But , Callie , are you really sure about this ? Youre not going to fall back into that lovesick mindset , are you ? Portia asked cautiously .
Honestly , if youve married Silas , you should give it a real shot with him ! Mavis nodded in agreement .
Silas seems like a good guy , but … Callie , hes got a certain edge to him .
You cant trust him completely .
Theres a lot about his past thats murky .
Ill check with my mentor to see what I can find out .
Calliope smiled .
Dont worry .
Silas is just helping me out .
We have a marriage agreement .
Thinking of the agreement , she remembered how shed drafted one herself , only for Silas to amend it to her advantage .
Hed made a few changes that ensured she wouldnt be at a financial loss .
Do you love him ? Mavis asked , stirring her coffee , eyes lifting to meet Calliopes .
Of course not .
We barely know each other , Calliope said , her tone a mix of amusement and exasperation .
1/2 15:56 Yet , the memory of Silas cradling her after her death lingered .
That moment had left an imprint , stirred something deep inside her .
But she was determined to stay rational .
After everything that happened with Gideon , she wouldnt let herself fall in love so easily again .
No more falling head over heels .
