The love thief

By Abdul kader FayadhPublished 3 years ago 3 min read

Once upon a time, there was a man known throughout the city as "The Love Thief." He was a thief who didn't steal money or jewels, but instead, he stole the hearts of the city's most beautiful and desirable women. He was known for his charisma, charm, and good looks, and he had a way of making women feel special, wanted, and loved. But what they didn't know was that he was a master of deception, and his heart was as cold and dark as the night.

The Love Thief's latest target was a young woman named Clara. She was the daughter of a wealthy businessman, with long golden hair, sparkling blue eyes, and a heart full of love. The Love Thief had seen her at a party, and he knew from the moment he laid eyes on her that he had to have her. And so, he put his plan into motion, using all his wiles and charms to make her fall in love with him.

At first, Clara was cautious around The Love Thief. She had heard the rumors about him and his reputation as a heartbreaker. But he was persistent, and he knew just what to say and do to make her heart flutter. He showered her with compliments and gifts, took her on romantic dates, and whispered sweet nothings in her ear. He made her feel like she was the only woman in the world who mattered.

And so, Clara fell for his charms, completely and utterly. She gave him her heart, and he promised her that he would love her forever. But as time went on, Clara started to notice that something was off about The Love Thief. He would disappear for days at a time, without any explanation or warning. And when he did show up, he would be distant and preoccupied, as if his mind was elsewhere.

Clara tried to talk to The Love Thief about her concerns, but he would always brush her off, saying that she was just being paranoid. He promised her that he loved her and would never hurt her. But deep down, Clara knew that something was wrong.

One night, she decided to follow The Love Thief, just to see where he went when he wasn't with her. She trailed him through the streets, watching as he moved like a shadow through the darkness. Eventually, he came to a small tavern on the edge of town. Clara watched as he went inside, and then she snuck in after him.

What she saw inside the tavern shocked her to the core. The Love Thief was sitting at a table with another woman, laughing and drinking as if he didn't have a care in the world. Clara watched as he put his arm around the woman, whispering something in her ear that made her blush. And then, to Clara's horror, he leaned in and kissed her.

Clara felt like her heart had been ripped out of her chest. She ran from the tavern, tears streaming down her face. She didn't know what to do or where to turn. She had given her heart to The Love Thief, and he had broken it into a million pieces.

For days, Clara stayed in her room, crying and mourning the loss of her love. She couldn't eat, she couldn't sleep, and she couldn't think about anything except the pain in her heart. But eventually, she realized that she couldn't let The Love Thief win. She had to take back control of her life and find a way to move on.

It wasn't easy, but Clara eventually found the strength to leave The Love Thief behind. She started to focus on her work, her family, and her friends. She rediscovered the joy of life, and she found a new sense of purpose and meaning.

As for The Love Thief, he continued to roam the city, stealing
