Max From The Book Thief Novels & Stories

He kicked it, and it slid away to reveal a dark, narrow ladder leading down. The guards were getting closer. I could hear their boots on the marble floor. "Five seconds, Loveth," Maxwell said, stepping onto the ladder. "Choose." I thought about my mum’s tired eyes. I thought about the red circle around her head in the photo. I thought about Victoria’s cruel smile. I didn't have a choice. I never had a choice. I grabbed the ladder and climbed down into the dark. Maxwell closed the panel above us just as the library doors burst open.

It wasn’t that he didn’t like what she said but rather if she had really meant it, because if there’s someone who’d be doing everything to stop him from going to William, it would be her. A lightning slashed through the starless sky and the thunder roared after, it wasn’t that long until Max had found the tall castle-like institution—a total creepy place he thought, but then he realized it was the place he really expected knowing that he’s dealing with a psychopath. Stepping out of the car, he didn’t mind getting drenched on the rain. A warm light was coming from inside, creating a shadow of a man stretched over the ground by the front window. He narrowed his eyes, blinking through the raind

But I hadn’t expected it to be exposed so soon. "How do you feel about it?" I asked. Max blinked, surprised by the question. He thought for a moment. "It’s… shocking," he admitted. "Are you afraid?" I pressed. "Surely, the books you read called magic evil." Max frowned slightly, as if recalling the texts. Then he shook his head. "I wouldn’t say that, Your Majesty. The man I saw was a toy merchant. He gave his toys to a group of street children, then performed the wall penetration, leaving like a magician. I suppose he wanted to make them laugh. But I knew it wasn’t a magician’s trick. That was a solid wall."

I began to cough out but I clamped a hand around my mouth to muffle the sounds that escaped my mouth with the tears that stunged my eyes. I searched through the box as I brought out a book that had MAX written on it with bold letters. I dusted it so I could read through the pages. Just when I flipped open the first page, I gasped in shock when I realized it was HIS DIARY

There are archways every hundred steps with mini passages connecting to the main one. I had delayed seeing Max because letting him sit in a dirty place for a day or two was a worse punishment for someone like him. He is proud and thinks he's better than others because of his grandfather’s former status. He wouldn't survive in such a rough environment and just as I expected, he broke and requested to see me. I had no plan of releasing him but he mentioned something that piqued my interest so here I am. After reluctantly leaving Gianna at the mansion when I would rather stay in bed and chat with her all day, this better be good otherwise I will kill him for wasting my time.

His eyes widen a little just as the doors shut close. November knew at that moment time went still, she had found her mate. She just have one problem though, he’s human. If Jennie was around she’d have killed November already. Having enhanced hearing, despite sitting nine tables away from the counter where the man of her dreams stood earlier, she heard what the librarian was saying to his colleague. “Leonidas Maximilian just borrowed that book.” “Oh, the guy that just left?” “Yeah…” Leonidas Maximilian She licks her lips. Gods. “Leonidas…” his name is Leoni-!

Ellie nestled at home playing games and eating fruits, she was in a good mood. Suddenly, there was a loud noise from the doorway. "Mr. Lewis you can't go in there." "You can't go in there, what are you doing, you're trespassing." The panicked voice of the butler came from the doorway. Ellie turned around and saw Maxim walk in with a cold face. He was accompanied by six tall bodyguards. Maxim was striding his long legs, his body glowing with coldness, and his good-looking face was appallingly sinister.

Countless scornful looks fell upon me, and my body stiffened. The words I had strung together were lodged fast in my throat. All I wanted was to retrieve my belongings. All I wanted was to say goodbye. "What are you doing here?" Before I had time to recover, Ivor emerged from the villa holding a stuffed toy. It was our token of love from when we were 18. On the day of our engagement, it went missing. I thought it was gone forever.

The beautiful world out there must have a dark side that needs to be uncovered. That was his principle. “Enjoy it while you can,” Max said, pulling a cigarette from his pocket. He lit the tip of the nicotine-laden stick and exhaled the smoke immediately. ”Don't waste what I've prepared as a gesture of kindness.” Geno laughed. “I never thought the day would come when Max Stockholm would come to me. Usually, I'm the one who has to hunt you down, you SEO bigwigs and pillars. Oh... now the pillar is standing tall, it seems.”

Cough, cough. Olivia coughed and finally, it jolted Max back to his senses. He felt something cold poured on him. Like a fool, he was lost in his fantasy standing in front of Olivia. What she'll think about him, a creepy scum? Oh shit! "I...I .. need water." Max said and Olivia secretly rolled her eyes. 'Again, another lie,' Olivia muttered softly, walking towards Max with a glass of water. Max gulp down the water. His mouth had dry because of nervousness as if the thief got arrested, but before turning he said a precious line to Olivia that got stuck to her heart and for forever, "Today, you reminded me of my mom."
