Your Call Second Hand Novels & Stories

He rings it up and gives me my total with a confused look. “Is something wrong?” I ask. “Is there something wrong with your phone ma’am? We do offer repair services as well, if you’d like.” “Oh, that’s alright. I just need a secondary phone for work is all.” I give a small grin and hand him cash for the phone. No sense in paying with my card and leaving a paper trail. Alan would catch on quickly. The young man smiles as he tenders the sale and attempts to hand me my change. I hold my hand up.

The call connects through on the second ring. “I couldn't answer your calls earlier. Now tell me what my ex-wife has been doing all day.”

Not a text this time. A call.

"That's a secondhand car you have there, isn't it?" Howard was outed and turned red-faced while he choked, "What's wrong with a secondhand car? Are used cars not cars? They still cost money!" "I'm not saying that used cars are bad. The question is, are you sure that's even your car?" "Hiss...if it’s not mine, is it yours then?" "You’re still denying it, huh? Then I'll give the owner a call." Alex took out his phone and dialed Isla's number. He pressed the loudspeaker and asked, "Did you call and ask?"

When the second call rang out, a text came in and it was also from an anonymous contact. Three words were written and texted. Plain and super suspicious. …..Pick Your Call…. Was clear on my screen, and barely a second later a call came in from the same hidden ID. This better be worth it, I rolled my eyes and swiped answer on the call. “What?” My harsh tone spoke into the phone. “That’s rude, especially when I’m trying to decide whether or not to destroy your life,” a voice responded from the other end. Not familiar, but sounds machinated.

My blood is boiling under barely there restraint. My hand reaches for my phone and I find myself scrolling through my contacts for a number that I haven't dialled in a while. I press down on the call button...

The first thought that came into her mind was that she was in Howard's arms last night, she suddenly remembers how he acted cold to her but at the end of the day he was an angel in disguise sent to save her, she wasn't an ingrate to be ungrateful. She was going to stay in today because the previous day had stressed her out. She walks into the kitchen to make herself some coffee and just then she heard a beep from her cell phone. The first thing that came into her mind was she had gotten a job finally and she hears another one, she rushes to her cell phone in excitement.

She had been betrayed once before, and she refused to let it happen again. As she walked out of Ethan's life, Lily felt a sense of sadness but also a sense of relief. She knew that she had made the right decision, and that she was finally free to find someone who would truly love and respect her. She had learned that sometimes, "a second chance with someone new was the best thing you could ask for".

Suddenly the body went still and I dropped it. I pushed my door open and went to the body. I placed two fingers on the side of the person's neck to check for impulse. I was glad I was able to find his pulse. I was grateful he wasn't dead. "You need to leave now!" Starr's voice reminded me. Just as I was about to leave, I heard his voice. "Be careful little one and don't forget all I taught you. Goodbye Scar, I'll see you soon!" He bid me goodbye.

Once she brought back the supplies, it was time for all business and forget about everything else from earlier. “Alright guys, let’s get started. Just open up you presentation deck to the first slide. Project Second Chance is ready to start.”
