Introduction

"Please,"Briggs adds, his voice lowering slightly.
"Use me, Lumi Carter."
"What do you want?" I asked straight, no hesitation.
"Let me be your next sin."Silence, clover shifts beside me. I felt it, but I don't look at her. Because my attention is locked on him.
"Allow me to redeem myself," he continues."And use me—until you're okay."
For 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.
WARNING: This story contains mature content, including explicit scenes, intense emotional conflict, obsessive behavior, and dark romantic elements. All characters are adults, and the narrative explores complex, sometimes uncomfortable dynamics.

Chapter 1

Lumi's POV

Last night keeps replaying in my head. The way Caius touched me—slow, patient, like he wasn't in a hurry to get anywhere. Like he already knew I wasn't going anywhere. His hands, the way he held my waist. The way his voice dropped when he said my name.

My body still feels it, that soft ache, low and deep, not painful…just there, a reminder of last night.

And soon, I will be getting married to him. A small, giddy smile pulls at my lips as I stare at my reflection.

Finally—

"Ah—!"

The sharp sting cuts through everything. I jerk slightly as the zipper digs into my skin.

"Wait—don't move," Wren says quickly behind me, her fingers pausing at my back. "It's stuck."

I suck in a breath, my hand instinctively going to my side.

"That hurts," I mutter.

She tries again, slower this time, tugging carefully. The zipper doesn't budge.

"You should've lost some weight if you wanted to wear this for your engagement."

The words drop casually. I don't turn. I just stare at myself in the mirror, then the dress.

It's beautiful, champagne-white, soft, and expensive. The kind of fabric that hugs instead of hides. It clings to my waist, my hips, every curve I've been pretending not to notice lately.

And now, I notice everything.

Behind me, Wren exhales softly. "Sorry. That came out wrong. I didn't mean it like that."

I meet her eyes through the mirror. She's smiling, but not fully.

"You didn't have to say it like that," I say quietly.

"I know, I know," she says quickly, already adjusting the zipper again. "I talk too much. You know how I am."

Yeah, I do. But that didn't change the sting that came with your words.

The zipper loosens slightly as she pulls it down. Relief.

"It actually looks good on you," she adds, her tone softer now. "Like… really good."

Her fingers linger at my waist for a second, then she lets go.

"You're really going through with it," she says.

Something in her tone makes me pause.

"With what?" I ask, turning slightly.

"The engagement." She shrugs, but her eyes don't match it. "I mean… you're actually doing it."

There's something there, something she's not saying. I straightened a little.

"Yeah," I say, a small smile forming again. "I am."

That smile doesn't reach her, she just nods.

"Right." A pause, then she said. "You always go all in, don't you?"

I frown slightly. "What's that supposed to mean?"

She shrugs again, looking away this time.

"Nothing. Just… you don't half-do anything. Once you decide, that's it."

There it is again, that edge. I tilt my head slightly, studying her.

"I love him, Wren."

The words come easy, and just for a second, something flickers across her face. Gone just as fast.

"Yeah," she says, smiling again. "I know."

Then in a quieter tone. "You really do."

The way she says it doesn't sit right, but before I can think too much about it—

"Are you okay?" Caius's voice comes from the doorway.

I turn immediately, he's already walking in, eyes going straight to me.

"Yeah," I say quickly. "The zipper just got stuck."

"Let me see—"

He steps closer, but instead of checking the zipper, his hand comes to my waist, pulling me in slightly. Then he kisses me slowly, like last night didn't end.

My breath softens into it before I even realize it.

"Do you guys ever get tired of that?" Wren's voice cuts in.

I pull back slightly. She's leaning against the dresser now, arms folded loosely, a smile on her face that doesn't quite reach her eyes.

"Always kissing," she adds lightly. "Some of us are single, you know."

Her tone is playful, but there's something tight underneath it. I let out a small laugh, brushing it off.

"Please," I say, shaking my head a little. "Let me enjoy my man."

Caius smirks, still looking at me. "What? She's jealous?" he teases, tone low, but not low enough.

"Of you two?" Wren scoff softly. "Relax."

But something about the moment feels… off.

"I'm in a bit of a rush," Caius says, stepping back, his eyes still on me.

"I'll talk to you later, okay?"

I nod. "Okay."

He leaves just as quickly as he came, and the room goes quiet again. I turn back to the mirror slowly. I pulled out another dress, this one darker, simpler.

I slipped into it and turned toward the mirror. It fits easily, no struggle. Wren moved from the dresser and walked around me slowly, her eyes scanning, not critical, but careful.

She nodded. "Wear this instead."

I met her gaze in the mirror. "Yeah."

I changed back into my regular clothes and grabbed my bag from the chair.

"I'm heading out," I say.

Wren leans against the wall, watching me. "Now? Are you going to be home late?"

"Yeah," I replied. "I'm stopping by Clover's first."

Her eyes flickered for a second, then she nodded. "Okay."

Then her expression shifted slightly. "And Lumi…"

I paused.

"Take your time," she said slowly. "But don't be late tonight."

Something about the way she said it made me look at her twice. "Okay…"

She smiled again, lighter this time. "Alright. Text me when you get there."

"I will."

I stepped outside, the evening air brushed gently against my skin as I walked to my car. I got in, adjusting my clothes slightly before starting the engine. For a moment, I just sat there. Quiet, still, letting everything settle.

I can't believe it's finally happening tonight. A soft excitement fluttered in my chest. I reached for my phone and opened the camera, and sent a selfie of myself to Caius.

Me:

Do I pass the fiancé test?

My phone buzzed almost immediately.

Caius:

Pass? You just broke the test. You look incredible everyday. Actually… no. You look dangerous.

A small laugh escaped me, followed by the warmth that spread through my chest.

Me:

Dangerous?

Caius:

Yeah. Like I won't survive tonight without touching you.

I shook my head, smiling.

Me:

Behave.

Caius:

No promises.

My heart softened, this felt right, easy, and safe. Like everything was exactly where it was supposed to be. Then my phone buzzed again, another message.

Caius:

Hey baby… You said you were going to stop by Clover's first. Let me know when you're on your way back.

My fingers stilled, a small frown formed on my face. I hadn't told him that, not at all. I stared at the message a second longer than I should have.

It wasn't what he said, it was how certain he sounded, like he already knew. A slow, uneasy feeling crept into my chest.

If I didn't tell him…

Then how did he know?

My Billionaire Husband's Secret

3.6k Views · Completed · Linda
After college, Lucas pursued me relentlessly.

He was the CEO of the Blackwood Group — a man whose wealth and power eclipsed ninety-nine percent of the world.

He was gentle. Romantic. Attentive. I fell for him fast.

But a year into our marriage, I began to notice something — a pattern.

Lucas's sexual appetite was intense — he wanted me almost every night. Yet every single month, he arranged a solo trip to send me away. I told myself it was his way of spoiling me.

Then a message arrived from someone called Sweet An.

Do you really know your husband?

From that day on, my life filled with shadows.

I suspected my husband of having an affair.

When Lucas and I made love, something felt wrong — his body too large, too much, like something I couldn't explain.

I heard sounds during sex — animal sounds, like something feral had crawled into bed with us.

My best friend Mia said: "There are men sick enough to let dogs fuck their wives."

The family doctor, Daisy, told me: "You could never stay by Lucas's side forever. Your background doesn't make you worthy of being his wife. Do you understand?"

I went looking for whoever had been tearing my marriage apart. I fought to win my husband back.

But the deeper I searched, the larger the secret grew — something far darker hiding beneath this supposed betrayal.

Does Lucas truly love me?

And why, out of everyone in the world, did he choose to marry me?
GO ON YOUR KNEES, ALPHA.

GO ON YOUR KNEES, ALPHA.

He thought the worst thing he had ever done was losing me.

He was wrong.

Six years ago, Pete Leadsilver had everything an Alpha could want. Power, a respected pack and a future already written for him.

Then he met me.

What began as a game became a mistake I would spend years trying to survive. When I told him I was carrying his child, Pete chose not to believe me. He rejected me, humiliated me, and allowed the people around him to make sure I understood that there was no place for me in his world.

So I disappeared.

I took the secret of my pregnancy with me and built a life far away from the Alpha who had broken me.

Six years later, Pete finds me again. Only this time, he isn't the man with all the power. His pack is dying, his people are running out of time, and I may be the only person capable of saving them.

But I'm no longer the woman Pete remembers. And beside me is a little boy who carries far too much of Pete's face to be a coincidence.

Our reunion should have been about a cure, but instead, it becomes the beginning of a war neither of us saw coming.

Because Pete's greatest danger isn't outside his pack.

It's inside his own family.

Old resentment turns into manipulation. Loyalty becomes betrayal. And the people Pete trusts begin hiding secrets that threaten to destroy everything he's built.

Then someone comes for the people I love.

Suddenly, this is no longer about whether Pete can earn my forgiveness.

It's about whether he can keep me alive.

Whether he can protect the son he never knew existed.

Whether he can uncover the truth before the people closest to him destroy everything he has finally learned to value.

Along the way, we'll lose people we thought would always stand beside us, I'll be forced to confront wounds I've spent six years trying to bury, and the family we're slowly building will be tested in ways neither of us could have imagined.

Because sometimes love isn't the hardest thing to find. Sometimes it's the hardest thing to survive.

Pete once believed power meant never needing anyone and I once believed surviving him meant leaving him behind.

We were both wrong.

Because some bonds refuse to die, some betrayals cut deeper than rejection and some people don't come back into your life to give you a second chance.

They come back to show you exactly what you almost lost.

Pete Leadsilver lost me once.

This time, he'll have to fight to keep the family he never knew he needed.
