MasukFor six years, Lumi thought she had everything: a steady relationship with her devoted fiancé, Caius, and the promise of a perfect future. But the night before her engagement party, Lumi walks in on a betrayal she never imagined, Caius in the arms of her own cousin, Wren. With her heart shattered, Lumi decides it’s time to stop being the good girl. She creates a daring “sin list”—ten bold rules to break before the year ends. Rule #1: seduce a stranger. But when that stranger turns out to be none other than Caius’ older brother, the dangerously alluring and untouchable Briggs, Lumi’s game of revenge ignites a fire neither of them can control. As each “sin” on her list pushes them closer, Lumi will have to decide if vengeance is worth the price, because loving him might be the most dangerous sin of all.

Instead, she leans closer, already unlocking her phone, her excitement practically vibrating off her.“You need to see this,” she says.That alone should’ve been my warning. Clover doesn’t just show things, she introduces chaos. Before I can protest, she angles her phone toward me. A video is playing. Dim lighting, loud music, a lounge setting. Then, men, dancing, not just dancing, performing. My brows pull together slightly as I try to focus without crashing the car.“Clover—”“Just look,” she insists, tapping the screen.I sigh and glance again, slower this time.Men in fitted black pants, open shirts, confident movements. Women seated, laughing, reaching, enjoying the attention.I blink.“…What am I looking for?”She lets out a dramatic gasp. “Excuse me? Art. You’re looking at art.”I huff a laugh despite myself.“I don’t recognize anyone,” I say.She
Lumi’s POVI take the stairs two steps at a time.My heels slam against the concrete, sharp and uneven, echoing louder than they should, as if the entire building is listening, watching, judging.“Lumi!”Clover’s voice chases after me, breathless, but I don’t stop. I can’t. If I stop, I might feel it, and I refuse to feel anything right now. Not the betrayal, the humiliation or the fact that the man I gave six years of my life to didn’t even look sorry.I push the entrance door open and the cool night air outside hits my face, but it does nothing to calm the heat burning under my skin.My car is right there. It’s more safe, familiar, mine. I walk faster.“Hey—hey!”Clover finally catches up, grabbing my arm just as I reach for the door handle.I pause, not because I want to. But because she sounds… worried. Really worried.I turn slightly, just enough to look at her.Her face is tight, brows drawn together, eyes scanning me like she’s trying to figure out if I’m about to collapse.“I
Lumi’s POV The drive home felt… shorter. Or maybe it just felt that way because my mind wouldn’t settle. Clover was still talking beside me, something about how she was going to fix the dress in under ten minutes and how tonight I had no excuse not to look “unforgettable”—but her voice faded in and out, like I was only catching pieces of it. By the time I pulled into the driveway, the house stood exactly the way it always did. The lights were on. Nothing unusual. No signs of anything. Clover unbuckled her seatbelt first. “Well,” she said, glancing at the house, “this doesn’t look like a surprise.” I let out a small laugh, grabbing my bag. “Maybe it’s happening upstairs.” “Maybe,” she echoed, but her tone carried a hint of doubt. I opened the door and stepped out. The night air brushed lightly against my skin again, but it didn’t feel refreshing this time. Just… cold. We walked toward the house together. I unlocked the door, pushed it open and stepped inside. The house greeted
Lumi’s POVThe night had settled fully by the time we stepped out of Clover’s apartment. The air was cooler now, wrapping my skin in a way that felt refreshing after the warmth inside. Clover locked her door behind us, still talking about something I had already half stopped listening to.“…and I’m telling you, if this dress doesn’t zip tonight, I’m fighting both you and Wren,” she said, pointing a finger at me as we walked.I laughed, shaking my head. “You’re not fighting anyone.”“I absolutely am,” she insisted. “Because what we’re not going to do is let you show up to your own engagement party looking like you settled.”“I didn’t settle,” I said, opening the car door.“You almost did.”“That’s not the same thing.”“It is to me.”I rolled my eyes, sliding into the driver’s seat while she got in on the other side. The car filled with a quiet hum as I started the engine. For a moment, everything felt… easy again.Clover adjusted her seat, then leaned slightly toward the passenger side
