The invitation arrived on a Tuesday, delivered not by courier but by a uniformed driver in a gleaming black Mercedes. The man waited with the patience of a professional while Elian read the ornate card, his expression betraying nothing.

Elian handed him the card. It was embossed with gold lettering, the kind of stationery that cost more than most Lagos families spent on food in a month.
