Secondhand Serenade Your Cal Novels & Stories

River looked uncharacteristically pale, his usual spark of mischief completely extinguished. Alexander was the only one looking directly at me, his expression was calm, though I could see the slight tremor in his hands. ​I leaned into the microphone. My voice felt like it was being dragged through broken glass. ​"My name is Sera Calix," I whispered, the sound amplifying across the silent courtyard. "I am not Seth. I... I lied to get into Virelade. I committed fraud. I am the daughter of a domestic worker, and I don't belong here."

The company needs you—I need you! He grabbed my wrist, but I only laughed coldly and waved my phone in front of him. "Do you remember the day you signed the divorce papers? Christine messaged me right after, proudly telling me you slept with her. "I'm a germaphobe, Vincent. If I didn't have to come back to Camdonia for business, I would've made sure to never see you again." His face turned as pale as a sheet. "That was an accident," he mumbled. "I was drunk. I was devastated after you asked for a divorce—"

His voice came from the other side. "You're my sister, Cheryl. There will always be a place for you by my side." That place by his side... I no longer wanted it. ... Dawn came. I heard Brandon calling in every high-end bridal brand in the city, bringing dresses to the villa for Melissa to choose from. I quietly opened the door, pulled my suitcase, and slipped out through the back garden. Before getting into the car, I turned back. Mary stood in the garden, wiping her tears as she waved at me.

I crossed the final item off my list. "Write a letter to myself." In it, I wrote about the places I'd seen, the flavors I'd tasted, and the happiness I'd found during this brief month of freedom. I told my future self that if there really was another life waiting beyond this one, I wanted to come back as a seagull, free to fly wherever the wind carried me. On the last day of my life, the weather was unusually beautiful. The setting sun turned the ocean into a sheet of brilliant gold, so beautiful it looked unreal.

My claws itched under my skin. I stepped forward, closing the distance in two strides. Sera’s bravado cracked as I caught her chin between my fingers - gently, but firm enough that she couldn’t look away. “You want to serve?” I said softly. “Then remember how to show respect to your Luna.” Her pulse kicked. “I-” Calder was beside me now, his presence quiet but lethal. “You forget yourself, Sera. You challenge her, you challenge us.” He didn’t raise his voice. He didn’t need to. The room had gone utterly still.

"Are you sure? I felt awkward with him. I'm not ready to deal with him yet... after I rejected the proposal first." Alora hissed, looking irritated. "Calix is already blind to you. The last two years he has been single and continues to think about you after breaking up with Lanoa. You're very lucky that your husband is Calix—he's a reliable man." With that said, Alora secretly sent the location of Club Camison to Calix, falsely claiming that Serena wanted to meet. Shortly after, Calix's sturdy figure appeared from the entrance. Her eyes lit up as soon as she saw Serena's back. "Serena..." call him full of happiness, even ignoring Alora's existence there.

Rachael complimented. Serene started to blush from Rachael's comment. "Now, all I need is a date." She acted as if Rachael wasn't right in front of her and I could see the disappointment on her face. Serene walked toward her and took her hand. "Wanna be my date sexy?" She wiggled her eyebrows and I grinned. Rachael rolled her eyes. "Fucking asshole. Of course, I want to go." Serene smiled at her at her before leaning down.

She is worried that her husband is turning out to be nice, usually, Felix is ​​very angry. But this time Felix was very different from usual, he was also gentler and very affectionate. "I'm sorry Amanda." "I want you to sing for me, you know when you were in a coma for fifteen days, I dreamed you were singing a song for me." "Really? What song? I'll sign it for you now." "Do you know the band Secondhand Serenade?" asked Amanda. Felix nodded when he was a teenager he liked the song. "You want me to sing a song called what? I memorize all the songs from that band, I'm also good at playing the guitar."

Serene stepped out onto the patio in a skimpy dress and a cup of beer in her hand. She took a slow sip, sighing in satisfaction. But when she turned around, she jumped, Raphael was standing there like a ghost. She narrowed her eyes. “You know, you could at least pretend to be useful. Weren’t you supposed to deliver Thorne’s weaknesses to Matteo by now?” Raphael didn’t respond. Serene clicked her tongue. “Don’t tell me you’re still mooning over that girl who belongs to someone else.”

“Of course. I'll be fine, Sere.” Serene nodded and walked inside the house to get her things. Of course Sydney will be fine. She would go stroll in the beach and find hot hunk, and spend the night with him. That is what she plans after knowing that her friend isn't available tonight. It was so boring to be alone. She would probably check in the Casa once she find a hot stranger. She missed the bed of the Casa, certainly. After packing all her things on her bag, Serene goes out and meet Sydney in the porch. “I'm sorry. I didn't expected he'll summoned me.”
