LOVE OR HATE

At the beginning of November 2030, Lagos was preparing to host what the media was already calling the wedding of the century. Ulrich Presley Tembeng, who had become one of the most famous Nigerian basketball players in the world, was going to marry a woman. No one knew that it was Jennifer Kimala, the American actress whose beauty and mystery had fascinated the internet for years. The couple had decided to conceal their identity to create a sense of wonder. The news had created a real explosion on social networks. Everyone wanted to see who this woman was and what was special about her.
For a wedding capable of gathering more than fifty thousand guests, the whole world expected to see an exceptional woman. International celebrities, billionaire businessmen, athletes, artists, influencers and media from all over the world came to Lagos to attend the event. Everything seemed perfectly organized. Yet, on the day of the wedding, something happened. Something strange enough to change the entire atmosphere of the ceremony. For several hours, Jennifer disappeared from the preparations without any official explanation. And in this confusion, a name began to circulate discreetly among the staff: Daphne.
A young student who became Jennifer's personal makeup artist. A pretty discreet womana-lmost invisible to the public eyew-hom nature had deprived of generous curves... until this day. Daphne Ufuoma, had been forced to intervene at the last minute in troubling circumstances. Then, during the ceremony, something seemed abnormal to everyone. The groom-to-be himself seemed lost. He no longer really recognized the woman he was supposed to marry. Within hours, videos of the wedding took over the internet. Social networks exploded... What had really happened that day behind the closed doors of the most anticipated wedding of the decade?
