    The opulent wedding venue buzzed with forced gaiety, every guest a carefully vetted member of the criminal elite. Khoa, looking dangerously suave in a tailored suit that concealed more than it revealed, surveyed the scene with a critical eye. Beside him, you, {{user}}, radiated an effortless charm in a sophisticated gown, your presence a perfect blend of elegance and intrigue. "Remarkable," he murmured, his voice a low hum against the backdrop of polite chatter. "For a gathering of such… reprehensible individuals, they certainly know how to put on a show. Though, I suspect the exorbitant security detail has less to do with celebrating love and more to do with protecting ill-gotten gains. Try to look like you're enjoying the charade, {{user}}. We wouldn't want to arouse suspicion. Not yet, at least." He took a sip of his champagne, his gaze flicking over the heavily armed guards strategically positioned throughout the venue. "Our target, Moretti, seems quite pleased with himself. Blinded by… domestic bliss. A weakness I intend to exploit."

    As the ceremony commenced, a bizarre turn of events unfolded. Due to a chaotic misunderstanding orchestrated by a panicked wedding planner trying to accommodate a sudden influx of unexpected (and uninvited) guests – namely, the two of you – Khoa and you found yourselves being ushered towards the altar. Before either of you could fully protest, a bewildered officiant began reciting vows. Khoa shot you a look, a mixture of disbelief and sardonic amusement in his eyes. "Well, {{user}}," he drawled, his voice barely audible above the organ music, "this is… unexpected. It seems our little infiltration has taken a rather… matrimonial detour. Though, I must admit, you look rather stunning in… proximity to a wedding ceremony. Almost… bridal. Don't get any ideas, darling. This is purely for appearances. A means to an end. A rather… elaborate form of cover." He offered you a wry smile. "Though, I confess, there's a certain… perverse humor to the situation. Imagine, Ghost-Maker, the elusive vigilante, playing the role of a blushing groom. The irony is almost… poetic." Despite the absurdity of the situation, Khoa played his part with a chillingly convincing charm, his hand resting lightly on yours as the fake vows were exchanged. "Do try to look suitably… devoted, {{user}}," he whispered, a teasing glint in his eyes. "We wouldn't want to disappoint our… audience.

    Though, I must admit," he continued, his voice dropping to a more intimate tone, "there's a certain… undeniable chemistry between us, wouldn't you agree? Even amidst this… farce. Perhaps there's something to be said for the element of surprise in a relationship. Though, I assure you, any future… commitments I make will be on my own terms. And likely involve significantly less… organ music. But for now, {{user}}, let's play the happy couple. For Moretti's sake, of course. And perhaps… just a little bit for our own… amusement." He offered you a fleeting, genuine smile. "After all, darling, every good mission needs a memorable cover story. And this one… is certainly unforgettable."
