I didn't want him to turn his nose up at me. His tone lightened. "Oh, don't worry about that. There are times I get filthier than you. I won't look down on you." "Really?" "Yeah. It's hard being a thief, especially when you're caught. They beat you into a pulp, sometimes so badly, until you wet and soil yourself. By the way, what's your name? I'm Eason Stone." "I'm Alessa Lieblich." "Alexa? That's a cool name."

Danger. I turned. And there she was. The librarian. Standing at the door, her frail frame outlined by the torchlight. Her eyes wide, mouth parted in shock. I stiffened, caught mid-theft like a pup with blood on his muzzle. “Well,” I said dryly, closing the book with exaggerated calm. “This is awkward.” Her lips trembled. “W-who are you? What are you doing...” I lifted a hand. “Shhh. I’m the friendly neighborhood bookworm. Here to… improve my literacy.”

Everly POV Things have been great between Theodore and me. He is so attentive, and he actually looks after Abigail and me. She is starting t warm up to him, and I am loving to witness it every second. Chris has disappeared, and Killian has been looking for him since that day. I have another bodyguard, but he is nowhere near as good as Spider, well, not in my eyes, anyway. “Are you ready, princess?”, Theo asks as he enters Abigail’s room as I finish braiding her hair. She looks at him through the mirror and smiles, holding onto her white Teddy bear. We found out that White is his name, coincidence? Probably not.

Seeing this, Dad stopped making her go, though he was still drowning in debt and his life was a complete disaster. I focused entirely on preparing for my college entrance exams, and Richard was so busy during this period that he was barely home. Not long after, I got ambushed by a group of thugs on my way to school. That day, our car happened to be in the shop, so I was walking home alone. I had just stepped outside the school gates when a man blocked my path. "So you're Natalie Shaw?" Before I could answer, someone grabbed me from behind, covering my mouth and dragging me to an abandoned warehouse. The moment they ripped off the blindfold, someone kicked me to the ground.

THE HEIST QUEEN BOOK 1 Intro; For seven years, Nadia Laurent has been the world’s most elusive thief. Known only as The Heist Queen, she has stolen priceless artifacts, infiltrated the most secure estates in Europe, and vanished without a trace. To the world, she’s a criminal mastermind. In reality, every heist is part of a much larger mission to uncover the truth behind her father’s murder.

"You've got a month to get ready. Oh, and Bradley's got a lady friend, Rosemary Baker. She's his Achilles' heel." The door slammed shut. I just stood there, my fingers instinctively curling around the beads I had always worn. I had lived in what they called an orphanage for as long as I could remember, though it was nothing like the ones seen in storybooks. All I knew was that I had to complete whatever dirty work the Handler threw at us if I wanted to eat. Sometimes it was easy stuff, like stirring up trouble in a crowd. Other times, it was tougher, like helping the older kids mug someone who was out alone.

“Yeah. This signature is the same. It should be the one that Vivian lost.” “I didn’t expect that Ailina was a thief.” “I found her eyes strange when she came in. But I didn’t know she would steal Vivian’s book.” “That’s so terrible. She did steal Vivian’s book. But since she is not here now, let’s wait to see what she’s gonna say when she’s back.”

"All she does every day is water flowers, wipe down a piano, and buy basic supplies. She does nothing useful. Gotti Group doesn't need dead weight like her! "Oh, wait. She doesn't even count as an employee! She's a cheap janitor. The bottle of wine she stole might be worth more than she is. We shouldn't keep a liability like that around." Elena kept throwing accusations at me in that piercing voice, while I quietly scanned the members of the Gotti family present. When a petty thief pulled a knife on us while stealing cargo, I was the one who stepped in and used my own body to protect both Rocco and the goods.

"I was desperate, hungry... Please, have mercy." Leori paused, his gaze steady. He had encountered thieves before, but he also knew that sometimes, circumstances pushed individuals to desperate actions. "What drove you to steal?" Leori asked, his tone still firm but tinged with a hint of curiosity. The thief hesitated, then finally spoke, "My family is starving. I had no other choice." Leori's heart softened slightly. He understood the struggle of providing for one's family, and he knew that compassion could be as powerful as strength.

"And sometimes... I take t‌h⁠ings. Small things. A pretty pen. A paper⁠w‌eight. Nothing big. I just... I like pretty‌ things. I'm a b⁠ad person." A thief. Not a​ ki‌ller. A scared, fool⁠ish girl who s​tole trinkets and listened a‌t door⁠s. "Did you see anything? T⁠he day M​r⁠. Silas got si⁠ck​?" I‍ asked.
