Chapter 4 Chapter 4 So , she put her trust in Silas .
He had once said he owed her a life .
And that meant , if she ever needed something , she could ask him for anything .
It was a secret known only to the two of them .
So , after her rebirth , she went straight to him .
I need your help .
Then , she laid out her plan .
Since Gideon wouldnt marry her , and canceling the wedding was not an option , she would marry someone even more remarkable ! Silas agreed .
He even persuaded Eamon on her behalf .
Eamon had always doted on her , and this wedding had been something she insisted upon .
But now , instead of marrying Gideon , she had chosen Silas .
Silas didnt object , so neither did Eamon .
Are you sure about this ? Silas stood , his tailored suit accentuating his imposing six foot three frame , broad shoulders , and narrow waist .
Even standing still , he exuded an air of power .
Yes .
Calliope nodded .
Truthfully , she was nervous .
She had saved Silass life once- that was the debt he spoke of .
But Silas was no ordinary man .
He was both respected and feared , the formidable head of the Baker family , managing an entire business empire .
In all of Capitalton , no one dared to cross him .
When she first proposed that he become her groom , she hadnt expected him to agree .
And yet , not only did he accept , he arranged everything with Eamon .
After all , he was still Gideons uncle .
This wedding , meant to bind her to Gideon , had now transformed into a marriage with him .
It would be a scandal .
But Silas had assured her it didnt matter .
No one would dare speak against him .
Silas walked over to her and extended his arm .
Lets go .
Arm in arm , they walked to the entrance of the banquet hall .
The staff worked quickly ; the photos of her and Gideon at the entrance had already been replaced with ones of her and Silas .

She had originally suggested they simply Photoshop a few .
But Silas had insisted on taking real wedding photos with her .
And now , they were coming in handy .
Inside , the guests remained unaware of the change .
Monty , who was meant to escort Calliope down the aisle , turned and froze .
Silas stood beside her , dressed unmistakably as the groom .
Mr.
Myers ? His voice wavered in shock .
What are you doing here ? The groom is supposed to be here , Calliope replied , her chin held high .
You dont need to walk me in ; well manage just fine .
Calliope , what kind of game are you playing ? Wheres Gideon ? You must be mistaken .
Im marrying Silas .
What does this have to do with Gideon ? 16:03 Chapter Monty looked bewildered .
If you dont believe me , Calliope gestured , look over there .
He followed her gaze to a poster beside them- Silas stood tall in a crisp tuxedo , his name elegantly scripted next to Calliopes .
Monty rushed forward , as if needing to confirm reality itself .
He stared at the poster .
Then back at Silas .
Then at the poster again … At that moment , Lisette stepped out .
When she saw Calliope holding Silass arm , her eyes narrowed , but she quickly masked her emotions .
Calliope , is Gideon not back yet ? She tilted her head , feigning concern .
What are you going to do about the wedding ? You cant possibly go through with it alone .
If you do , youll be the talk of the town .
I mean , whos ever heard of a wedding without a groom ? Gideons nothing special , you know .
Hes run off with his true love .
So … what now ?
