Villain Ch 2024. Wedding Prep
Allen saw it.
He didn't say anything.
He was too busy setting up the next project.
His name was everywhere.
But the people who knew him?
They knew why.
Because Allen wasn't trying to be famous.
He was trying to build something that couldn't be taken from him.
Not again.
He stared up at the billboard across the plaza. His own eyes stared back, fierce and unreal. Then his phone buzzed.
A message from Kai.
"The venue's locked. Send the guest list when you're ready."
Allen smiled.
He turned toward the black car waiting by the curb, fingers running along the polished edge of his phone, still vibrating faintly from notifications he hadn't checked yet. Wedding prep could not wait until after lunch.
He still had a meeting at The Cake Store.
And eight women waiting to argue over cake flavors.
