Dumped, Afraid But Alive and Grateful

Dear You, 
It's been a while since i've been here, i'm so sorry i've had to be away but if you must know............I do very really absolutely immensely MISS YOU  and I can't wait to share this traumatising story with you. Forgive my choice of words if vulgar (ordinarily not my style) at some point in this story to come but I take this story quite personal and will not hesitate to be biased if I feel the need to be.....*big smile*
"Five years ago, a working class 25year old lady based in Lagos, Nigeria met this young man who claimed to have been in the United Kingdom for years but was deported because he didn't meet the requirements to stay in the UK. It was love at first sight and she was soon head over hills in love with him as she thought him honest and down to earth........exactly her kind of man complimented with his good looks. 
According to her,they had met on a visit of his to Lagos and he appeared smitten by her and the relationship went on a smooth sail over the years as the lady was ready to give all it takes to make her story a "forever happily ever after". She constantly took trips to visit him at Port-Harcourt where he resides with his parents,she supported him financially as she is well to do and hails from a wealthy family,she went the extra miles and remained faithful to her man over the years .
After four years together, the love birds decided to take the relationship a step further by getting married. The man was introduced to the lady's family officially but he came with friends instead of parents as tradition expects,the lady and her man decided to go to the registry for a court wedding after the introduction and the ceremonial wedding date was fixed for last month (sometime in August 2015).
A week to the fixed wedding date (invitation cards shared, aso ebi bought, hall,accommodation and refreshments paid for and wedding gown bought), a number called the bride's father and it was the  groom's mother who was claimed to have been out of the country with her husband at the time of the introduction and court wedding . The groom's mother called to inform the bride's family that "they "(including their son) will not be attending any wedding as the marriage between their son and daughter was supposed to be just an arrangement needed by the groom for his new travelling plans and not love based,she claimed that the lady in question had been paid to get married to him and that their relationship was nothing more than a facade created for them to build a rapport in preparation for the interview done at the Canadian Embassy when applying for a visa. Can you beat that?.............

I most likely would have fainted at this point if I was the bride's father taking this call. What will be your reaction???...........(to be continued)
