Ariel couldn't believe it

It was a beautiful Saturday morning at a wedding reception that Shaun was invited, he caught sight of a beautiful lady, he was so mesmerized by her beauty that he almost tripped and fell.
All through the wedding program, Shaun focused on her and said to himself that he will definitely walk up to her and tell her he likes her.

She was among the bridesmaids and she danced gracefully as they opened the dance floor for the bride and groom.
All eyes were on her as she is beautifully dressed and elegant. She also danced really well.

Shaun refused leaving after the wedding, he hanged around so that he can atleast talk to the beautiful lady and get her contact to probably arrange for a dinnner date.
Alas! the beautiful lady came out of the wedding reception and Shaun quickly went to her. He introduced himself as Shaun to her and told her how he felt about her, they had a nice discussion and she revealed her name to Shaun.

Her name is Ariel, she was really beautiful and a classy lady. Hopefully Shaun was well dressed, tall and good looking as well. But something was missing, Shaun didn't have something that Ariel loves so much.
What could that be?
Ariel was materialistic, she loved the baby girl lifestyle and vowed she must marry a rich man.
She was already in a relationship when she met Shaun, she loved her boyfriend so much even though he wasn't as rich as she wanted. He was manageable, atleast he had a car, so she stucked to him.

Shaun was heartbroken when Ariel told him that she had a boyfriend. He thought to himself "I will never let go of you no matter what "
Shaun decided to do something that would put him ahead of Ariel's boyfriend, he arranged to present himself as very wealthy to her.
Shaun rented exotic cars, drivers, clothes and borrowed huge sum of money to achieve his plans. Within two months, Ariel had broken up with her boyfriend and accepted Shaun's proposal to marry him.
Wedding date was fixed and the wedding was the talk of the town, she was all over the internet because of the kind of luxurious wedding she had. She felt very happy, her dreams have come through. She's now known as Mrs Shaun and married to a handsome and wealthy man.

They moved into their mansion, Ariel took pictures of herself in the beautiful mansion and sent to her friends and family with a hashtag "billionaire wife".
Things went on well in the first two weeks of their marriage. But on the third day something happened, Ariel heard the unthinkable from her bosom friend. Her husband was seen in an unusual place.
Well Ariel shrugged it off, that couldn't have been my husband she said, my husband is very wealthy and you yourself know about it. I'm disappointed in you she said to her best friend, how can you say this to me after all I and Shaun have done for you? She queried and angrily dropped the call.

Exactly a week later, some people came to the house and informed Ariel that they had to vacate the mansion that Shaun had told her was his. According to them, Shaun paid for a period of three months and now its expired. She was given twenty four hours to leave the premises
because their payment has expired.
Ariel tried to reach Shaun on his phone but he wouldn't take up her calls. She called and called but no response. Shaun wasn't taking her calls because he already knew why she was calling.

About an hour later, Ariel's friend called again and told her to come to a certain location, this time she thought about it and decided to go check it out, afterall, there's no harm in trying.
She got dressed elegantly, took her car keys and drove to meet her friend at the location she had asked her to come. She met her friend and they both went inside and what she saw left her shocked, she couldn't believe her eyes, she was in total denial, she said "maybe Shaun has a twin brother" this can't be my billionaire husband Shaun, I must be dreaming she said.
Then Shuan broke her down into a million pieces with his words, he confirmed he was the same person.

Now a time for confession! Shaun had been living a double life, he was not a wealthy man, infact he was very poor. He was a market pepper grinder that fell in love with a beautiful classy girl.
Knowing that he would be outrightly rejected by Ariel if he revealed his true financial status, he had to lie about himself and he got what he wanted because Ariel became his wife.
Ariel broke into tears, she couldn't believe that her whole life is crumbling right before her, she felt the ground would open and swallow her.
How would she face her friends, how would she face her family, how would she face the world she pondered.....
