Eternal Thief

However, making Ace give up on them was simply impossible at this point because of the Thief House. He had already told her that anyone who joined the Thief House couldn’t leave.

So, if he had any intention of opening a spot for her, he could’ve easily just gotten rid of one of the existing members and opened a spot for her.

She wasn’t a fool who would think that Ace never thought of it. But she was wise enough to finger it out that Ace had no intention of getting rid of the existing members despite their past conduct against him.

Now, she could even see more clearly that Ace had no plan of stopping at just those three female members as he already had one in his space ready to join when the spot opened.

She never had thought that the naïve yet cunning boy would turn out to be like this after just fifteen years, and he had experienced so much in these years that some people won’t even experience a fragment of it in their entire lifetime.

Lastly, she could easily tell Ace was now extremely ambitious, no longer the boy who was just looking for his sister. He was the most dreadful thief, whose name was enough to make anyone’s face turn ashen with wariness.

So, why will he stop when he has just started to find his aspirations and set his eyes on heaven itself?

Now the choice was for her to either accept this aspiration as her own or she could just be insecure all the time and keep obstructing him until he stopped caring about her entirely.

The choice was extremely obvious as she stopped being difficult and looked right into his dark blue eyes, which were filled with love for her, and this was also proof that she was just being paranoid for nothing.

“Alright, but you have to promise me that if you ever want to take another wife, she will have to go through my test first!” She sternly told him while biting her alluring lips.

Ace was gobsmacked by this sudden approach of her, and he had no idea what got into her, but whatever it was, he could tell she no longer seemed to be jealous.

“What are you even thinking? I was simply telling you why I did what I did. Why would I want another wife when I have a Devilish Wifey like you?” Ace chuckled as he looked at her stern yet pained expression.

Despite being elated, Eva still did not budge and sternly said, “Just promise me, alright? I know you’re being honest and faithful toward me, and I love nothing more than that.

“But if you’re serious about being a thief, then someday you might require to do more than just infiltrate someone’s ranks. You might one day have to woo someone to get into the heart of the enemy’s base or even pretend to be someone’s husband.

“Just like you kept doing in the past fifteen years, and we both know I’m stating the fact. So, I don’t want you to hesitate at that time just because of me and do what you have to do for yourself.

“Last but not least, what if that Alina also has more than sisterly feelings for you? Will you be able to break her heart, or will she back down? I don’t want you to choose between her and me. I will never put you in such a situation.

“So, I just want you to promise me if you ever want to take responsibility for some woman and have more wives, you have to tell me first, and then she will have to go through my test, and that’s my bottom line!”

‘What kind of situation is this? First, she wanted me to explain, and now she suddenly had this insane notion that I want to marry someone else, and she even agrees to it?’ Ace was really at a loss for words looking at Eva and just how serious she was.

All these years, Ace had encountered many women and even earned some of their favors, but he never even thought of entertaining them because he simply didn’t have time as well as Eva’s existence.

Other women were no big deal, but he knew about Noa’s strong affection toward him but always pretended to be ignorant. But it was the fact that he has a very good impression of her. Because she was the first ever thief house member and always strived to be strong so she could be useful for his causes.

That might be the reason he didn’t want to hurt her by directly confronting her and decided to wait until he sorted out his own feelings.

After Eva awakened and he noticed her crazy and obsessive personality was still stronger than ever, he knew she would never accept other women besides herself on his side, and he had no problem with that.

But when he hears Eva’s reasoning about acting as someone’s husband or seducing other women to achieve his aim. He didn’t have any words to retort since he had never even considered these options before because he needed to do such things.

Yet, what about the future?

What if he had no other choice but to do those things?

Will he stump and gave up on his mission and put everyone’s life in danger, including his own, just because he didn’t want to sleep with other women or seduce them while he was fully capable of such things?

Even if he never needs to do those things since there are multiple ways to avoid doing them, he can’t ignore the part about Alina.please visit pαпᵈα-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m

Just like Eva said, what if Alina wants to be more than just his sister?

He was not an idiot, and he knew she was only his sister for a little over two years, not his biological sister at all. This could even be considered childhood love if one of them had such thoughts.

Furthermore, Alina held a very special place in his heart, and that’s also why he was desperate to save her no matter what.

But these thoughts were mere conjectures because there was equally a chance that she didn’t have such feelings, and they would remain the same.

But what will come after he rescued her?

Can he force her into the thief’s house when she had a perfect life and parents awaiting her, and she also didn’t want to enter?

Will he give up on her and move on, despising knowing once he shows up to protect her, it will be crystal clear that he cares about her? Thereby, that act of using her to draw him out won’t be the last one, not by a long shot.

Not until he stopped being a thief and ended his journey, which was even more impossible.

That’s why as long as he won’t stop caring about Alina entirely or chooses to keep her close infinitely, just rescuing her wasn’t the entire solution.

Lastly, what about the girls in his thief’s house? There was a very faint chance that, at some point, they might want to retire from this dangerous life and fall in love with someone and want to either have them in the thief’s house or live with them.

Although Ace can fully stop that, he will have to give up on his entire mortal principal and emotions to do that, which he can’t at the moment.

But this can all change if he can just be a man and earns their favors before someone else and make his life less stressful.

So, in a sense, Eva was giving him a huge opportunity to wash his hands of all the women’s problems once and for all.

But was this really the case?

Although she was cutting her heart, she was still keeping all reigns in her hand to make sure he won’t go ahead of himself and turn into some playboy.

She might seem like she was giving him leeway to mess around with as many women as he wanted, but she was actually making sure that he would always remember her existence on top and won’t make her regret giving him such leeway.

As for passing her test, who knows what kind of test this devil will put before she lets someone stay by him permanently like her.

At least, they were terrifying when it came to making sure Ace’s love for her never deterred. Lastly, those women in the future will also know who they need to please to earn a spot by Ace’s side. Even in Thief House!

Ace looked deeply at Eva’s stern expression as she was patiently waiting for his answer, and he could easily tell if he didn’t promise her, she would never be at peace, and the same goes for him.

Ace moved his hand and creased her devilishly pristine face before he smiled lovingly and stated, “Although I have this nagging feeling that I’m going to regret it later. But I know I’ll regret it even more if you simply stop caring about me this way.”

As he approached her glossy crimson lips, Eva’s heartbeat rose, and her bewitching eyes turned misty with lust and anticipation as all her worries melted away when he said just a hair away from touching her lips…

“I promise!”

The next moment, their lips melted into each other’s, and it was just the start of their passion again…

Of course, Ace didn’t forget to wrap Cyrus away before he even kissed her, which only made the curious bird chirp in resentment when he was again sent back by Ace unjustly!
