Your Call Second Hand Novels & Stories

And then, with a slow, deliberate motion, he picked up his phone and made a call. “It’s time for phase two.”

I steel myself for what’s to come. “I have no intention of rejecting you. You are a gift, a second chance mate for me. I don’t turn away gifts from the Moon Goddess,” he says. His fingers then move to Masuzyo’s mark on my neck. “I’m assuming, based on your mark, that I’m your second chance mate too?”

“But this is ultimately a family matter. You must decide how to handle it yourself. I cannot intervene directly.” I understood the subtle implication in his tone. “Thank you for your concern, General Garth. This situation will not happen again. I will leave here soon, as I have been transferred to work in Valora.”

Before leaving, I took off the diamond ring that had meant forever and placed it on the coffee table next to the signed divorce papers. I left with my suitcase, without a single glance back. … After settling Lilith down, Isaac finally returned home at 11:00 pm, carrying a heavy sense of guilt. "Iris? I'm back. I'm really sorry about today…" There was no response. He switched on the lights, and his gaze locked onto the coffee table. When he saw the divorce papers and the ring I had removed, his chest tightened sharply. He fumbled for his phone and called me. However, a cold, mechanical voice answered, "The number you have dialed is not in service."

“Of course I do.” “I think we have a two year old for her.” “Really! Oh, she will be so happy!” I exclaimed. “You can have the honor of letting her know she was your official first case. Here’s the file.” I was so excited, I leaned over and hugged him, “I’m going to call her right now!” I headed for the door. “I’m looking forward to Sunday,” he shouted after me. “Me too!” I hollered back closing the door. My cell phone interrupted my actions.

"Help you?" I laughed coldly. "How?" "You made me Broxia's richest man! You must have some powers I don't know about. You can help me!" I looked down at his pitiful, defeated form and slapped him. Then, I raised my left hand. The diamond ring on my ring finger reflected the streetlight with an icy brilliance. "Help you?" I chuckled, my voice frigid. "All my powers are gone. I used them all up to secure a life of happiness for Peter and me."

" I ended the call without hesitation. A third call came through almost instantly. A man was shouting hysterically on the other end, "Charles! You know so much about this stuff. You can check student records, right? Please check whether my son's file has been tampered with! You've already saved them. Please help us all the way through!"

And below that, a second message. Liam just called me.

It was the very hand that had tormented her moments ago. “Give it back.” Caleb glanced at the phone, noting her dual SIM cards. Raising an eyebrow, he teased, “The number you gave me, is it your work number?”
