Zara Cole has built her entire career on that rule: three hundred and thirteen weddings, zero emotional casualties, one very effective emotional firewall. She is the best wedding planner in Lagos precisely because she treats love like a logistics problem. Solvable. Containable. Safely someone else's.

Neither is the anonymous threat. The ex she buried resurfacing in a dark car park. The voice note detonates mid-rehearsal and brings forty witnesses to a silence so loud it has a texture. Or the photograph Marcus slides under her door, the one with the courtroom and the caption and the question it leaves behind that she cannot plan her way out of.
