"No, I didn't take anything from you, you must be wrong." Tyler narrowed his eyes and smirked. "I'm an honest man and wouldn't fabricate a story." Jade held her head because of bewilderment, trying to make sense of what he was saying. "What did I steal from you?" "You stole my heart," Tyler bared his heart to her without holding back.

There is a common misconception that the hardest part of stealing something priceless is getting your hands on it. But It isn’t. The hardest part is convincing the world you never wanted it in the first place. People expect thieves to run, to sweat and to glance over their shoulders every three seconds like guilty children caught sneaking biscuits before dinner. But Professionals don’t, Professionals leave exactly the way they arrived. Calm, forgettable and Invisible. The journal rested against my ribs, concealed inside a hidden silk compartment stitched into the lining of my gown. Yeah figured my clutch wouldn’t cut it. Its weight was almost nonexistent now.

Anita asked, referring to her notebook. Kirsten slid her notebook inside her backpack slowly. Anita merely gazed at it, wondering if it was what her cousin was writing. Kirsten eventually tucked her notebook into her bag. "It's nothing," Kirsten explained. "Yeah, just my arithmetic notes," she clarified. Anita gave her a smug expression. "Okay," she said and she sat beside her. "How come you're alone?" Anita asked. She just thought that Samuel and Kirsten were together since they were both free at the time. So, she is surprised at why she is alone. Kirsten didn't respond straight away. She averted her gaze and was deafeningly silent. Anita fixed her attention on her cousin's face.

The chains that limited her movement clank against each other as she crawled to reach for the small, wooden container.

With a small blow on the end, a small piece of paper jutted out on the other end. “Jadeite just left the palace,” she read the inscribed words written on the paper.

“But I didn’t put it there.” Clara laughed bitterly from where Rex held her. “Of course you didn’t,” she snapped. Her minions joined in. “Then how did it get there?” “That’s too convenient.” “You think we’re stupid?” I didn’t respond, My eyes shifted and landed on Lustre.

The tutor stepped forward again. “Do you understand the consequences of stealing in Raven?”

It’s petals curled, browning at the edges, it barely clung to the brittle stem. Next to it, lay a single burnt page. I knew that paper like the back of palm. The golden border. The signature line half confused by flame. It was the last page of the publishing contract I had signed years ago – the one that gave Tanya full rights to Ruins of Eden, the manuscript she had stolen.

I didn’t want to take that, but if I’d returned it, they’d have taken the cost out of my hide. My guts gurgle. I’m gonna hurl. Over by the circulation desk, Brody and his crew have noticed the excitement. Brody surveys the library, his close-set piggy eyes narrowing on us at the back tables. Bevan slouches down in his chair. “Fuck. Who stole what?” The scavengers at the next table over eye us. “Don’t bother,” Brody says to Brynn. “We know where it is.” His fat nostrils flare.

"An adult's personal property is protected by law. $50,000 exceeds the threshold for a major theft offense. The victim has chosen to press charges. That's entirely lawful." My father froze. Then he turned to glare at me as though I were his mortal enemy. His eyes were bloodshot. "Elise Whitmore! Are you really going to have your own father arrested? You ungrateful little monster! You'd throw your own father in jail over a little money? You'll be struck by lightning for this!" "Struck by lightning?" I couldn't help laughing. Tears streamed down my face as I reached into my bag and pulled out the confidentiality agreement I'd signed with the travel agency.

She was holding flowers and looking down at the grave. The photo had been taken three months earlier. Vivian's face went white. The comments rolled too fast to read. [Confirmed. Miller's daughter pretended to be Grace Walker?] [She stole a woman's name, scholarship, and life story, then lived off it for fifty years?] [The real Grace was trapped in that town while Vivian became an artist and philanthropist. I'm sick.] [Three generations stealing: identity, proposals, opportunities.] Henry was sweating harder. The collar of his perfect suit had darkened. He had nothing left to say.

My room. A freezing dread settled deep into my veins as my mind violently flashed back to the events of the past few weeks. Before Victor’s death, someone had broken into my temporary apartment and stolen my personal journal, only to return it days later with several crucial pages neatly sliced out. Then came the feeling of being hunted on the street. I had blindly assumed it was all Victor's doing. But Victor was rotting in a casket, and the stalker was still here. Someone else was hunting for whatever secrets I brought back from the ashes of that mountain road three years ago.
