Doris never wanted much, just a life she chose for herself. When her mother tries to force her into marriage with a man old enough to be her father, she escapes through a window on her wedding day and runs straight into the heart of Lagos, armed with nothing but a small bag, a notebook full of fashion sketches, and a stubborn belief that she's meant for more. The city doesn't hand out dreams for free. What starts as small hustles, laundry, errands, an ushering job, pulls her into the orbit of Mrs. Ugochi: wealthy, magnetic, and known in darker circles by another name. A woman who opens doors Doris never knew existed, and closes others Doris never sees coming. Money, power, men who think they own everything they touch. And Leo, the one person in this new world who makes Doris feel safe, even as the ground beneath her keeps shifting. But every gift from Mrs. Ugochi comes with a debt nobody mentions until it's too late. When the people Doris loves most start disappearing, she realizes the city didn't just change her. It made her dangerous. Escaped on my wedding day is a gripping tale of ambition, betrayal, and a woman who refuses to be anyone's victim, even when the cost of her freedom is everything she has left. This is a story of betrayal… A runaway bride escapes a life she never wanted, only to be drawn into a glamorous world hiding deadly secrets. In the heart of Lagos, betrayal, trafficking, and murder lurk beneath luxury and wealth. But Doris isn't a victim, she's a survivor, and when the truth destroys everything she loves, she sets out to deliver a chilling revenge of her own.
