Why Is Pride: The Deadliest Sin Novels & Stories

Even to my own ears, I have a hard time believing it, and I lived it. The truth is, I let my pride lead my decisions. I thought I was beyond touch. But the biggest fools are often the ones who wrongly believe that they can never be fooled. My pride ended up being my downfall. I trusted the wrong person.

A thousand deaths would not be enough to erase the taint of this sin.

I sniffled, "Why me?!!" Maybe my mother left me too. I know she didn't want me. She never did . Just like everyone else in my life. A sense of hopelessness washed over me. I was trapped in this never-ending cycle of fear and pain. "Why was I even born? To suffer? If there's a god or goddess up above, why bring me into this world if you know I would never be happy.

"Was I so bad or evil in my past life that you decided to punish me in this life? Just fucking end my life. Haven't you done enough al

The man who carried a gun, and you’d never know when it’d turn to you. Yet. Despite all of that, I fell for him.

Calling me his even if I don’t belong to him. Other people would say murder was the most unforgivable thing in this world. No. Loving him was an unforgivable sin. People like him never deserved second chances. I gulped the lump of rage in me.

I will pray for you all to be happy and blessed. Adriel woke up and started looking around. Fabian saw him and remembered how he tried to take his life even before he was born. ”I- I tried to kill him. I was so blind in my want for you that I tried to take his life.” He kept saying that repeatedly and began crashing. The doctor rushed to him and tried to save him. Andrew held Rose and moved her from there. Some time later the doctor came out and told them that he didn't make it. Fabian Anderson was dead.

He could do it again and permanently this time. "You said you two were friends. So why the fuck would you want to absorb him?" I asked, not like his answer would do much to make me understand. Nothing could make me understand him killing Cyrus. "Don't you sometimes wish to be your friend?" his cheerful tone threw me off. He was psychotic to say the least. "To have that power… the seven deadly sins are considered gods in hell. Every human possesses at least three. I want the respect that comes with the title and the power they effortlessly feed on."

Eyes like cold obsidian that measured every secret and sin. No words. Just a judgment so absolute it crushed the air between them. Giordano’s knees hit the floor, the weight of a thousand failures dragging him down. “You don’t have to do this,” he whispered. “I never meant—” “You watched my mother die,” Alessia’s voice cut through him like ice. “You held the gun. Even if you didn’t pull the trigger, you were there. You chose power over blood.” Dante slowly drew his weapon, deliberate, merciless.

Vikram Singh questioned her with confusion clearly lingered in his voice ignoring his question Erica starts singing “A tale I tell you of 8 sins First comes pride, you can try but can never hide Second comes greed, you can wish but can never be freed Third comes wrath, you can run but it follows your path Fourth comes envy, you can break but it still so friendly Fifth comes lust, you can hold but it will break your trust Sixth comes gluttony, you can attempt but it’s your destiny Seven comes sloth, you can watch till it makes you rot And now I tell you last and deadliest of them all

It was terrifying beyond belief for Faith. "Told you, Pride, supremacy. They cannot let go of it. Even it's their own daughter who comes in the way." Faith's only thought was that, it was a cruel world. Power is more important than family. Hate prevails over love and no one is to be trusted.

Tom did not take the accusation lightly, his hands clenched under Suzanne’s. The vampire proceeded to explain, “All the seven deadly sins that humanity is guilty of; lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy and pride have somehow created a splinter to the gates of hell. The black mist is but the beginning.” “Technically, you are a part that damnation,” Tom retaliated. The vampire covered his mouth in mock surprise, “Touche…but like I said before, my kind and I played no part in this. Look, I am here to offer my aid. I am not your enemy.”

I tried again bravely despite feeling my heart hammering against my chest. There was that laugh again- the laugh that promised cruelty and madness.
