The Wedding We Did Not Plan

Synopsis

To stop her family from marrying her off to a man who calls her "an investment," Tope blurts out that she is already engaged — to the one person in Lagos who cannot stand her. Demilade needs a fiancée to satisfy the terms of his late father’s will; Tope needs an alibi for exactly six months. The arrangement is simple, businesslike, and absolutely temporary. Then come the aso-ebi fittings, the meddling aunties, the one shared umbrella in the Lagos rain — and the slow, terrifying realization that the hardest thing to fake is not being in love. A slow-burn romance with teeth.
