Seven Virtues Vs Seven Sins

Hazel Bennett's life crumbles on her wedding day when she finds her fiancé cheating on her with his secretary. Heartbroken and devastated, she spends the night in the arms of the stranger before leaving town for good. A few weeks later, Hazel discovers she's pregnant. It isn't until seven years later that fate brings her back to Seattle with twins she birthed for a man she thought she’d never see again. Now talented and unstoppable, she takes a job in a hotel in Seattle but what happens when she finds out that Nicolas Vaughn, the richest and most ruthless billionaire is her boss and he is in fact the man she slept with seven years ago—the Father of her kids. “It’s you.” His deep voice and familiar scent filled the room. My stomach knotted the moment our eyes met. That night came back to me in hot, pulsing flashes. Seven years ago but I still remembered him like it was yesterday. I gasped softly, “Oh No! Mr CEO is the father of my kids.”

A slap turned my face away and I could taste the metallic taste of blood in my mouth…well that was seven years ago when I told my dad I wanted to become a priest instead of taking care of his mafia family and his business.. he allowed me to be a priest but disowned me from the Vander family. Now seven years later I am seated listening to confession when I see the most beautiful woman walk into the confession room………. The truth is I don’t know if she led me astray or I went on my own.

I was with a fishmonger for seven years. Every night, he pinned me beneath him, reckless and wild. Until one day, he took off his bloodstained apron and came clean–he was getting engaged to Sophia, the Bilotti heiress. Only then did I learn that he was the Don of the Colleo family. “Hahaha! You fooled around with Ms. Mancini for seven years, only to take another delicate young lady’s hand in marriage. Surely, she’s going to come at you.” “Don Colleo, you should keep things sweet with her.” His men’s laughter echoed in my ears. “What’s the rush? I’ve broken her well enough these past seven years. If you don’t mind, you can have her for a couple of days. Evelyn… flexible.” On the day of Vincent’s engagement party, I handed the evidence of his crimes to the police. As the sirens ripped open the city night, someone called out my name. I smiled and leaped from the eighteenth floor.

Setelah aku dipecat dari perusahaan, aku kembali ke kampung halaman dan setiap hari ikut Nenek main mahjong. Namun, seluruh keluargaku justru seperti orang gila, mencariku ke mana-mana. Hanya karena adik perempuanku, si genius desainer perhiasan di keluarga, tidak bisa menggambar desain lagi setelah aku pergi. Di kehidupan sebelumnya, pada kompetisi desain perhiasan tingkat nasional, adik perempuanku selalu merancang desain yang sama persis denganku. Semua orang mengira akulah yang menjiplak, bahkan keluargaku sendiri pun membelanya dan memberi kesaksian untuknya. Perusahaan juga menetapkan bahwa aku berkelakuan tak bermoral dan menjiplak karya, hingga merusak reputasi perusahaan. Di tempat itu juga aku menerima surat pemecatan dan diwajibkan membayar ganti rugi dalam jumlah besar. Keluargaku pun menganggapku sebagai beban dan mengusirku dari rumah. Di bawah tekanan keluarga dan opini publik, aku menderita depresi. Saat berjalan di jalan raya, aku ditabrak sampai mati oleh penggemar fanatik adik perempuanku. Sebelum kesadaranku lenyap, aku tetap tidak mengerti mengapa adik perempuanku selalu bisa menggambar desain yang sama denganku. Saat membuka mata lagi, aku kembali ke sehari sebelum kompetisi desain perhiasan tingkat nasional.

Setelah sahabatku, Melinda Bosna, membuktikan bahwa pacarku yang ke-20 adalah seorang bajingan, aku akhirnya setuju untuk dijodohkan dan akhirnya menikah dengan seorang anak orang kaya, Aldi Noran. Kemudian saat menghadiri pesta seorang teman, Melinda memberikan kue yang sudah setengah dia makan ke depan Aldi sambil berkata, "Kak Aldi, kue ini terlalu manis buatku. Kakak bisa membantuku memakannya?" Setelah kuhentikan, alih-alih merasa salah, Melinda justru berkata dengan santai, "Kenapa kamu ribut-ribut begini? Aku cuma lagi mengetes sifat suamimu!" "Kita 'kan sudah bersahabat selama belasan tahun! Kamu nggak mungkin berpikir aku naksir suamimu, 'kan?" Aku yang dulu pasti percaya. Sayangnya, aku ini terlahir kembali. Aku balas mengambil kue di atas meja dan menempelkannya ke wajahnya. "Memangnya kamu siapa, hah? Sampai-sampai kamu berhak menguji sifat orang lain!" "Kamu itu cuma putri sopirku! Ngapain juga kamu sok jadi sosialita!" "Aku tahu kamu bukan cuma tertarik pada suamiku, tapi kamu juga sudah mencari cara untuk tidur dengannya!"

Di antara putri orang kaya yang asli dan palsu, aku adalah putri orang kaya asli yang dibenci. Aku dan adikku diculik secara bersamaan. Penculik kami pun memotong salah satu jariku dan mengirimkannya kepada orang tuaku. Namun, orang tuaku malah bersyukur karena itu bukan jari adikku. Adikku diam-diam memberi isyarat pada orang tuaku untuk melapor polisi, tetapi malah ketahuan penculik kami. Demi melindungi adikku, orang tuaku mengatakan bahwa aku yang membocorkan alamatnya. Oleh karena itu, penculik itu pun menyiksaku sampai mati, sedangkan adikku berhasil diselamatkan. Namun, begitu melihat tubuhku yang dimutilasi, orang tuaku akhirnya menjadi gila dan mengatakan ingin adik dan penculik itu membayarnya dengan nyawa mereka.

After seven years of bloodbath, the most decorated soldier returns to the capital.“Whatever was taken from me, I will take back a thousand fold!”

In a world where dragon shifters once ruled alongside humans in a delicate magical monarchy, a catastrophic war 300 years ago left the dragons nearly extinct. Now, in modern-day Seattle, 25-year-old Maya Chen discovers she's the last fertile female dragon shifter when she spontaneously shifts during a panic attack at her corporate job. The twist: There are only seven male dragon shifters left worldwide, each bound by ancient magic to different elements (fire, ice, storm, earth, shadow, light, and void). Maya's emergence triggers a supernatural召唤 summoning that compels all seven to converge on Seattle, their dragon instincts screaming that the survival of their species depends on her. But Maya isn't interested in being anyone's salvation. She's a fiercely independent software engineer who just learned that her chronic anxiety and "weird dreams" were actually her dragon trying to emerge. As the males arrive—each incredibly powerful, devastatingly attractive, and convinced they're destined to be her mate—Maya must navigate not only her new abilities but also the political intrigue of a hidden supernatural world. The complication: An ancient enemy, the Order of the Silver Chain, has been hunting dragons for centuries and will stop at nothing to eliminate this last chance for the species to survive. Meanwhile, Maya discovers that the seven males can't all survive—the magic binding them means that when she chooses her mate(s), the others will lose their dragon forever. The story blends urban fantasy with romantic tension, found family dynamics, and the pressure of being the key to an entire species' survival while trying to figure out who you really are. However, what if all seven of them were her mates? Would that allow them to save their kind?

To save my unconscious Alpha fiancé, I got trapped in a glacial crevasse on the frozen mountain. I tried to reach him through our bond ninety-nine times, but he blocked me out completely. When he finally found me seven days later, his first words were an accusation. "Elara damaged her eyes trying to save me, and you just had to cause trouble right now!" "You're a trained mountain warrior. How could you get trapped in a small crevasse for seven days?" "I've had enough of your games. Let's break off our engagement." He thought I would cry and argue like before. But I just nodded. "Okay." He didn't know I hit my head when I fell trying to save him. In seven days, I would completely forget him. But when I finally left him completely as he'd promised, he went crazy, searching the world and begging me back.

My ex-husband Giacomo and my brother's widow, Zoya, are the reason I went to prison. Seven years. Gone. I crunched leaves on the way to Carlo's grave and—of course—they're there. Together. Right in front of his headstone. "Jessica?" His voice shook. Fake surprise. He wiped his eye like that meant something. "I've been looking for you for seven years. I thought you... were gone. "Where have you been all these years? Why didn't you ever contact me?" I said nothing. He kept going. "You're still mad about what happened? I had my reasons." 'Reasons?' I looked at him. Almost laughed. He and Carlo's woman killed Carlo. Framed me, kicked me out, and sent me to prison. He took half my life. And now he's talking about reasons—standing at Carlo's grave. But seven years of torment burned everything down. Love. Hate. All of it.
