The day before our wedding, my fiance, Yale Salvatore, died in an accident. He had been setting up the venue when the stage collapsed. I'm now a widow and carrying his child. Devastated with grief, I even tried to end my life. However, my parents-in-law urge me not to grieve too much. After all, I'm pregnant and need to stay strong for the child's sake. On the day of Yale's funeral, his older twin brother arrives from Novavista with his wife and child. They're here to attend the funeral. His face is so identical to Yale's that I nearly mistook him for Yale several times. By accident, I overheard a conversation between him and my in-laws. "You faked your death just for Gwen King? Sasha is pregnant with your child! Do you want your baby to be born fatherless?" "You did all of this just so you could be with Gwen out in the open?" My brother-in-law, exasperatedly explains, "Mom, Dad, Gwen has cancer. She has less than a month to live. She's loved me for years, and her dying wish is to marry me. "Once she passes, I'll return to Sasha's side and give her an even grander wedding. Then, I'll be there for the birth of our child, and we'll raise him together." Hearing this, I'm so shocked I can't speak. My so-called "brother-in-law" is actually my fiance, Yale! For the sake of helping another woman fulfill her dying wish, he doesn't care how upset or devastated I may be. And once he completes his benevolent mission, he intends to return to my side? No. My fiance, Yale, is already dead. I won't beg him to come back. And in three days, I'll be just like him. I'll be lying beneath a cold gravestone, and I'll forever vanishing from his world, he will never find me again...

Sudah delapan tahun aku menikah dengan Elvin Ginanjar, pemimpin mafia narkoba di Nasara. Namun pada hari ini, tepat pada hari peringatan pernikahan kami, aku menerima sebuah foto dirinya bersama sahabat terbaikku, Lina Malloni, merayakan seolah merekalah yang menikah. Dan dalam pelukannya adalah putraku, Owen Ginanjar. Aku menatap foto itu, lalu mengetik dua kata sebagai balasan. [Betapa sempurnanya] Setengah jam kemudian, Elvin menerobos pintu depan. Suaranya bergemuruh memenuhi lorong. “Kenapa kamu selalu begitu jahat pada Lina?” Owen, anak kandungku sendiri mendorong kakiku sambil menatapku dengan marah. “Ibu jahat,” katanya. “Aku harap Bu Lina jadi ibu asli aku.” Aku tidak terkejut. Aku hanya berjalan menuju lemari, mengeluarkan setumpuk dokumen yang telah kusiapkan sejak lama, lalu menjatuhkannya di meja dengan kepastian yang dingin. “Baiklah,” kataku dengan datar. “Semua salah aku. Sekarang, bolehkah aku pergi?”

“Sin dumme-maranii. Maran dumme-Sinia.” All Sins are humans; all humans are Sins. The king’s curse made it impossible to detect a Sin’s existence. One cannot be born as a Sin and a Sin cannot give birth to a Sin. It cannot be controlled by anyone nor anything. Only fate will determine. The moment all Sins turned to ash, stories and theories about them spread like wild fire. Through the mist of misleading plots and opinions, only a few people truthfully know what really happed at that moment. Twenty years after the king passed, a young man was able to find out that he was a Sin. He claims to be the reincarnation of the late king as he had visions of the past. Relying on his instincts and trusting his visions, he travelled the world in search of Sins like him to resurrect the wrecked honor of the fallen angels. He was able to find some and that’s when the new era of reborn Sins began. The young man became the new king of Sins. Together, they searched for Sins all over the world and began to form a new union that will protect and guide Sins to be able to live alongside humans. The cycle went on until another tragedy occurred which disintegrated the foundations of the union. Twenty years from the present, the king was rumored to be killed by an alliance that were in charge of capturing Sins for experimentation. To this day, Sins are in hiding. Sins try hard to live unnoticed by anyone. My name is Rayne Martin and I am one of them. I am a Sin. .. 

“I, Rhys Blackford, reject you, Felza Blackford, as my chosen mate.” His words felt like sharp blades slicing through my body, and I couldn't seem to stop those knives or the words from penetrating me. “Rhy…Rhys! Don't do this,” I croaked out shamelessly, even after catching him with his destined mate. I know this all seems confusing, but yeah, I caught my mate and husband with his destined mate in our bedroom, and he chose the cowardly way of punishing me for his sins by rejecting me. “We vowed to never hurt each other, Rhys! Even if we meet our destined mates,” I reminded him, standing up straight and looking into his eyes. “It was before meeting her, but now that I know the feeling of a real mate bond, I don't want you anymore,” he threw the words carelessly with indifference. I know the Moon goddess paired mates to have a symphony in packs, but sometimes bonds and destiny didn't stand a chance in front of true love and soulmates. But now I know it's bullshit because the so-called true love and soulmate kicked me to the ground and ruined me.

“Pernikahan ini bukan karena cinta… tapi karena keadaan.” Arga Mahendra dikenal sebagai dosen sastra paling ditakuti di kampus. Sikapnya dingin, aturannya kaku, dan tidak ada toleransi untuk kesalahan sekecil apa pun. Tak heran, para mahasiswa menjulukinya “dosen killer.” Naya Lestari, mahasiswi tingkat akhir yang keras kepala namun cerdas, mendadak harus menghadapi Arga sebagai dosen pembimbing skripsinya. Bagi Naya, ini adalah ujian terberat dalam hidupnya. Namun semuanya berubah drastis saat satu insiden tak terduga membuat mereka terpaksa menikah—bukan karena cinta, melainkan demi menyelamatkan reputasi dan masa depan mereka berdua. Pernikahan mereka adalah kontrak. Tak ada perasaan, tak ada kehangatan—hanya kesepakatan dan jarak yang dijaga rapat. Tapi hidup bersama di bawah satu atap perlahan mengungkap sisi lain dari Arga yang tak pernah diketahui siapa pun, dan membawa Naya pada dilema antara rasa takut dan harapan. Ketika drama kampus, tekanan keluarga, dan masa lalu yang belum selesai mulai menghantui, keduanya harus menjawab pertanyaan yang tak bisa dihindari: Apakah pernikahan kilat ini akan berakhir sebagai kesalahan besar… atau justru menjadi awal dari kisah cinta yang sesungguhnya?
