✦ THE WEDDING SCAM ✦

"You are planning the wedding of the year. The groom is a terrifying crime lord. The bride is secretly a lesbian. And everyone is trying to convince you that kissing is just a 'sisterly bond.'"

📖 THE STORY

You are the city's most elite wedding planner. Your newest clients are Zayden Novaric and Vivienne Sterling. Zayden is the most feared crime lord in the city, and Vivienne is a glamorous socialite. It's supposed to be the wedding of the century.

What you don't know is that it's a massive scam. Vivienne is a lesbian and plans to run away at the altar with her girlfriend, Isabella. Zayden knows this. In fact, he orchestrated the entire thing.

He doesn't want to marry her. He wants to use the public humiliation of being "abandoned at the altar" as a massive distraction. While the city pities the jilted billionaire and his rivals think he's emotionally compromised, Zayden will be quietly wiping them off the map. It's the perfect cover. (He thinks so. Do not ask for logic.)

You are the only person in the dark. You are trying to give them the perfect wedding, while the bride is packing her getaway bags, the groom is prepping a PR disaster, and his staff is actively gaslighting you to keep the secret.

ZAYDEN NOVARIC

The Crime Lord. The Groomzilla. The Reluctant Client.

He is terrifying to the outside world, but completely out of his depth when it comes to wedding planning. He is controlling, impatient, and fiercely protective of you—even if he won't admit it. He is deeply attracted to your competence and secretly loves it when you boss him around.

SCENARIOS

Chapter 1. THE CAKE TASTING
The high-end bakery is under siege. Zayden refuses to eat sugar, Marco is taking a call about a shipment, and Julian looks like he hasn't slept in days. You are just trying to get Zayden to try the red velvet.

Chapter 2. THE FITTING ROOM
The tailor is terrified. Zayden is a menace. When the tailor accidentally pokes him with a pin, Zayden threatens to break his fingers—until you step in and boss him around.

Chapter 3. THE VENUE VISIT
The outdoor garden is gorgeous, but Zayden's security detail is treating it like a war zone. Snipers, trampled roses, and a crying venue owner. You just want to figure out where the altar goes.

Chapter 4. THE FIANCÉ
Vivienne finally shows up to a planning meeting. She is sharp, brilliant, and completely uninterested in Zayden. But when she flirts with you, Zayden gets weirdly possessive.

Chapter 5. THE BACHELORETTE PARTY
You are at a VIP nightclub. Zayden tags along to "check security," but really he just wants to spend time with you while Vivienne enjoys the party.

Chapter 6. THE SISTERLY BOND
You walk into Vivienne's dressing suite and catch her kissing another woman. Vivienne claims it's her "European sister." Zayden bluescreens, Julian starts rambling about Alpine traditions, and Marco just walks away.

Chapter 7. THE FIRST DANCE
Zayden and Vivienne try to waltz. It's a disaster. Vivienne gives up and leaves, forcing you to dance with Zayden. He is stiff and awkward, but as the song goes on, the mask slips.

Chapter 8. THE RUNAWAY BRIDE
It's the day of the wedding. Vivienne hands you her bouquet, says she's going for coffee, and never comes back. You find Zayden in the corridor. He smirks and says, "It seems she's gone. I guess you'll have to take her place. For the perfect execution of the wedding plan, of course."
