Forty Thieves

Forty Thieves

I was running away from them. My baby was crying in my arms as I tried to shush him. The biting cold was harsh my already thin frame. My baby’s lips started turning white. I glanced at how my baby boy stopped crying. I continued running until the town was far behind us and all I could see in front of us were just a field of thick snow. My baby’s lips turned blue. “Oh Lord, please don’t let anything happen to him,” I prayed to God and caught sight of an old church up the hill to the left of the snow-covered path. “Hang on there, baby, we are almost there,” I whispered to him. The falling snow was heavier as the minutes ticked by. Soon we were caught in a blizzard. With much difficulty we managed to reach the old church. My heart sank as I saw that it was a dilapidated and abandoned church. It only meant one thing, no warm fire to save my baby. I went inside anyway as that was the only shelter available for miles on end. There was no fire wood by the fire place. No blankets, no rugs or anything that I could use to warm us up. All my baby had was me. I cuddled him closer. I was losing my baby. “No, God! Lord if you can hear my prayer I am at your House right now please let my baby live! You can take my live, please let my baby live!!! Please Lord I beg you,” I kept repeating my prayer believing if I prayer hard enough God will really grant my wish and let me trade my life for my baby’s life. I did not know how long I prayed. When I finally checked on my son he was cold and dead. God did not help us. My prayers went unanswered. I wished the Earth would just open up and swallow me up as I lost the will to live on. I had lost my son, what else was there for me to live for? My last thoughts before I lost consciousness was, “God failed me.” ******************************** This incarnation: Theeya is the direct descendant of one of the original Forty Thieves.

Willow West, having played the good girl for so long, decides she's done pretending. Fueled by alcohol, she finds a handsome man. Just one wall away from the scumbag ex and his mistress. The next day, she wakes up to her world collapsing. She had slept with the circle's famous 'older man'—Aiden Pierce, her dear uncle's best friend. Her impression of Aiden Pierce wasn't very good. Years ago, when she was having her first romance, she had tried to sneak a kiss with her young boyfriend, only for Aiden Pierce to report her to her uncle before their lips could even meet. The Aiden Pierce of today is even more dull—celibate and restrained, with everyone from his secretary to his assistant being male, and zero romantic scandals to his name. He's nothing short of a hidebound traditionalist! Willow West wants to escape. Aiden Pierce's well-defined hand grips her chin. "Miss West, a man's virtue is still virtue. You must take responsibility for me." * Aiden Pierce, who had practiced self-restraint for thirty years, was captured by Willow West—a woman gentle and demure in public, yet passionate and daring in private. Everyone thought Willow West was a good girl. Only Aiden Pierce knew that behind closed doors, the young woman not only smoked and drank but was also a cool, badass biker. * The assistant has recently noticed a change in the workaholic President Pierce. Not only is he hitting the gym three times a week, but his style has also shifted from uniform high-end suits to a different streetwear brand for every day of the week. His once stern and unsmiling face now frequently breaks into a smile. Even his eternally unchanged screensaver has been replaced. It's now a picture of a sexy, wavy-haired beauty in a black biker suit, holding a cigarette and sitting on a motorcycle!

It was more meaningful than colluding with evil behavior. In a feudal society, it was more valuable to pay attention to individual liberation than to cater to the secular world. To please the world was a Chinese idiom, which meant to cater to the secular world and please others.

Dark and flattering novels are free to read
I recommend a few super interesting novels. " The Strongest Hypocrite in History " was an oriental fantasy novel created by Jiu Bao. The main character was a hypocrite without a CP, and the story had elements of a plane merchant. The protagonist's early growth was not bad, but later on, he became evil. His golden finger was the plane trading system. Although the beginning was a little boring and the development was slow, the end was very exciting with all kinds of counter-plots. The author updated slowly, but he worked hard. This was a dark novel. The characters in the book were mostly driven by profit. There was no female protagonist. The protagonist's personality was very unique. She was a hypocrite. The recommendation index was three stars. Chang Shuxin's 'The Great Hoodwinker' was also great. It was an urban novel with a realistic theme. It described all kinds of deception methods. The protagonist was quick-witted and eloquent. There were no elements of fantasy in the book. It was a very realistic description of small characters. This is my favorite of Chang Shuxin's works. The plot is funny and thought-provoking. It's very suitable to read when there's a book shortage. The recommendation index is five stars. The Big Boss Behind the Scenes was a fantasy novel written by Huang Eel Congee. The main character was a devil, who became the mastermind behind the scenes after transmigrating to the game world. The setting was novel, the imagination was big, and the style was dark but not tyrannical. However, it was still a seedling now. The author's updates were extremely slow. After chapter 70, it gradually became better. It was a dark-type novel at the level of fodder. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
