Summary

There will be magic. There will be murder. Welcome to the wedding of the century. *** Isham Bello-Sudais isn't always the smartest when it comes to things. But, his sister is getting married and he doesn't think it's a good idea. Could it be that it's because she's getting married to Vikram Khan, brother of a boy he hates and a family that vanished from Nigeria eleven years ago? Maybe. Or maybe it's something else that Isham just can't put his finger on. And being the black sheep of his family, his opinions don't really matter. On the night of his sister's introduction, Isham dies. But then, he doesn't-because, somehow, he gets brought back to life. Isham then realizes that he's not the only one who lost their lives and unlike him, the other people didn't come back. Now, Isham is back and he has weird-ass abilities he doesn't understand and is trapped within a family where everyone is a liar and everyone hides a terrible secret. With the help of his little sister, Yasmin, his cousin Saheer, and the brother of the groom (he may or may not have feelings for), Kazim, Isham has to catch a murderer before they can get to his sister, the bride. Grab an invitation. Take a seat. With magic, mystery, secrets, lies and tons of humor, it's time for the wedding of the century.

BEFORE WE BEGIN

So let’s get this out of the way: in the story that follows, I will die.

Yes, yes. I’m spoiling my own story at the literal beginning. And that was very morbid. Gosh. Sorry about that. I’m actually not very good at this. And in my defense, though, I didn’t exactly stay dead.

I got better. Sort of.

Emotionally? No, still an emotional disaster. Spiritually? Also no.

But physically? Yes. Barely. Let’s call it undead-adjacent.

Anyway—weddings. Joy! Henna! Commitment! Patriarchal constructs! Passive-aggressive relatives! Secrets no one is supposed to know and absolutely everyone knows anyway!

It’s a whole thing, actually. But here’s what they didn’t print on the invitation: people are going to die.

Not all by murder. But all with motive.

I should know. I was one of them. (Not the murderer, obviously. The murdered. Well, sort of. Slight technicality.)

Anyway, welcome to the most expensive cover-up money can buy.

Cue curtain fall.

Cue body count.

Let Khalil ✨ know what you thought about this chapter!
