They say Envy is the root of all evil... I couldn't agree more. I never wanted to be that kind of person. I never wanted to be one of his pawns. But That person carved that brand in me, made me do things I never imagined myself doing, that is... to be envious of others' good fortune and misfortune.
I am the youngest... but not one of the Septuplets. I'm Envy and this is my story.

Mafia's Forced Wife
Being a Muslim girl and in a conservative family with three protective brothers to care for you for your entire life....It makes you spoiled, protected and well naïve to some point. My name is Sharia Qureshi. I am a cardiologist. Saving lives gives me the reason to live. I believe that living life for yourself is easy but giving a part of it to others is something worth living for. Starting as an intern at a reputated hospital was all I wanted after completing my degree. But never in my life I expected Allah would turn my life from a free spirited girl to damsel in distress with none other than the shaitaan(devil). #################### "You never married me with my own free will. You forced me and my family into this. Allah will make you pay for this." He started laughing at my face mocking my words. Breaking me. Showing me how powerless I was in front of him. He closed the gap between us, stepping dangerously close. I took a sharp breath as he held my my hair painfully pushing my scalp back leaving burning sensation. He leaned down to whisper hotly in my ears."You are mine and only mine to give pain. You will beg me to be free." # 15 Compassion (06/21/2021) #1 Compassion (10/19/2022)Complete

If No One Else
𝟏𝟖+| I was said to be 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐝𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐝, 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞... 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐮𝐧𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞. I had heard it so much in my life that it had manifested into a truth that remained rock solid in my brain. It consumed every surface of my body and mind like a deadly cancer It had become a promise to myself. A reminder. A standard. It was a rule applied to every person in my life, except him... He was the same as I was; no matter how different our outside identities were. We were cut from the same cloth on the inside. There was no denying that he and I were both broken souls left in a broken world. Both craving an eternal slumber before we met, but his darkness played so well with mine that suddenly it began feeling more like light, warmth, goodness... a happy ending. "...𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗳 𝗻𝗼 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗲𝗹𝘀𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝘀𝗮𝗶𝗱 𝗶𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲... 𝗜 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂," --------------------------- Partying. That was the one thing Chandler did best, and everyone in town knew that. But when one of her parties get out of hand and the cops are called, she's in for a rude awakening as she comes face to face with the new guy in town: Officer Herrera. He's wasn't like the usual officers she dealt with, and she finds that out quite quickly as she gets dragged away to jail for the night. They both wish to never see each other again, but there was something stronger than their dislike for each other keeping them together. The stronger their dislike grows, the more attached they become, until the lines become so blurred that they can't tell the difference between hatred and love anymore. They could say they hated each other, but if anything, a small part of them knew it would turn into love. If that love would last once everything was revealed... It was only a matter of time before they found out. ----
EGBERI
In the beginning, at the first instance of existence, a god arose from his slumber; The Mighty Yiba ( The god of wisdom). He had been hibernated for 50 million light years because he was bored of existing alone. As he yawned and stretched himself in a vastness of void and emptiness, the dust from his body formed a ring fog and within it billions of universe existed. He saw what had happened and decided to explore it's galaxies, the option to end his boredom by making other gods that would talk and reason with him, friends he would hope to have. So upon a suitable planet he would pour out his spirit to build a personality as a being with flesh. His spirit was 7 dimensioned, always replicating 7 men with no experience of existence, hence he made a spirit link to teach and direct them until maturity. And to the best of the beings, the ones he sought right, to be called Friends, He gave the gift of immortality making them demi-gods. This tale is of the planet Ini-Wari, it had a fault with the first seven men and lost its spirit link. With time the people that came to be, became confused at the purpose of existing. At the brink of complete damnation with a large population of existing beings the link is restored in one ..........the long journey to amend the fault of their stars Credits: inetpaliens@instagram, pitchcanker@instagram for imagery (huge fan)Complete

They fear us because we are different. They fear us because we have special powers, because the goddess gave us gifts. The goddess gave us these powers to protect the non-gifted. They don't care about that. They fear us because they think we will hurt them. They believe we are power hungry, the irony. They have hunted us for centuries now. Killing us because they are afraid. We just want to live out lives in peace. Why must there be a fear for people who are different? Why must there be such hate for people who just want to live their lives? My name is Lydia Martin. I fight for my freedom. This is my story. The story of how I fell in love with my target. The story of how I fell in love with the one man I wasn't supposed to fall in love with.Complete

The Hell Lord's Prize
Book V of the Seven Sins Series "It's ironic, your name," the demon lord says, staring at me with his familiar, cold look. "It's an angel's name." I don't respond right away, because he's already snapped once when I spoke out of turn. "Have you nothing to say?" he asks, indirectly giving me permission to speak. I shrug. "I don't get why you have any interest in my name. You rarely call me by it." "Slaves don't deserve names." I hold back from speaking for a brief second, before I open my mouth once again. "So why the sudden interest in my name if I'm just a slave and don't deserve it?" I demand, almost nervous that he's going to react badly because I definitely spoke out of turn. "Because your name is ironic and humorous. How is it that an innocent boy with the name of an angel ends up as the slave to the worst demon in existence?" book cover done by @ishanwadhwa123 !!!!Complete
