BEING MRS SPENCE.
Episode 1.

He looked up from his seat, gazed at her like a hawk through the tinted glass walls that demarcate the meeting hall. He bent his head in a total disappointment.

Cole excused himself from the board and began walking towards the door.

She was tensed as she stood outside waiting eagerly and hoping that nothing will go wrong.
She knew that he has seen her and is a matter of time he will be out.
immediately the door swings open, her heart flew to her stomach
When she saw his countenance.
Florence knew then that another trouble was looming.

“Hi darling…

She greeted while flashing him a smile.

“What the hell is this….what is all this that you put on…? he barked quietly yet angry.

She looked down at herself and stammered
“I…I thought you will like it… and..I..

“Damnit! Damnit Florence…”

He swore under his breath and continued.

…I specifically asked you to wear something nice and sexy today. Today is Mustafa’s birthday and my colleagues are going over after the meeting with their wives. If you enter the visitors waiting room, you will see what my colleagues wives and girlfriends wore. They are all seated there, looking all shade of class and elegant. I knew you were going to disappoint that was why I specifically asked you to wear something sexy. I recently bought a sexy short gown for you from an online store. it will reveal your curves and show some thigh… push out your cleavage and put your body figure in perfect light… your backside won’t be left out….then you grace it up with heel But here you are dressed like some maid, like you are going for church fellowship. You want to embarrass me right?

Florence inhaled slowly before releasing her breath.

“I’m a married woman Cole, I won’t dress like a prostitute just to please your ego or the public eyes. There is absolutely nothing wrong with my dressing. This is an armless flower printed gown. It reveals my curve enough and the length is very okay. I have a jacket in the car just in case you feel I’m exposing too much skin. I wore this because I thought is sexy enough for you Cole, I wore a comfortable heel shoe…all this I did hoping I will get an applaud but here you are again bashing me…

He suddenly began to clap.

“You wanted an applaud right? You can have it all… Since you want to be a stubborn and disobedient wife it won’t be under my watch… never. I will rather go alone than go with you looking like this…go back home Florence.

“Cole… Cole… you are overacting. Please…stop. I won’t be able to go home and change to something else because of time but I can check for a boutique around and get something different but it will be nothin like the gown you wanted me to wear. That gown is


too revealing Cole. It bares out a woman’s braless boob… shamelessly and with a string tiny hand. I can’t even sit in public because my whole undies will be greeting the public eyes. There’s a whole lot of thing wrong with…
Cole started walking back inside

“Go home Florence… we’re done here. It was a big mistake to have even asked you to join me…

He walked back inside leaving Florence standing.
She shakes her head sadly before walking away.

When she got to her car, she didn’t move immediately. She sat in there, staring at nothing.

“God…I…I…

She became speechless.
Florence sighed sadly before turning on the ignition and driving away.
She stopped at her sister’s place.

“, wow, I love your dress. You look good Flo. Are you going on a fresh date with Cole or having a get together?

Florence flashed her a smile as she sat hard on a chair.
“…You don’t look happy… what did Cole did again?
Susan asked while folding some children cloths into a box.

“What is wrong with this dress Suzy? Cole said is not appropriate for outing…is not sexy to his standard. He sent me back home and said he will rather go alone to his colleague’s party than go with me looking like this.

“Does he want you to walk naked? Because this cloth is very okay.. Is sexy and catchy too. Flo, don’t let Cole words get to you… he’s probably in another bad mood…

Susan said as she put what she was doing aside and came to sit close to her sister.

“He wanted me to dress like a harlot. Seriously, I don’t understand Cole…i find it hard to please him. There’s this over revealing strippers dress he saw online and bought. Suzy, did you know that my darling husband wants me to wear the dress instead of this…

“What’s wrong with that? Since that was what he wants then you should have done so. Wear it for him… you are together after all. The eyes and shame won’t be just on you…it will be on him too.

Florence waved off what her sister said.

“I wear the shoe so I know where it pinches. You won’t understand Suzy. Where’re the boys?

“They’re out. Jimmy took them out for some evening ice cream. It gives me time to tidy up the house. Flo, you and Cole haven’t thought of having kids yet…



“Cole isn’t ready. He said children are messy and expensive to maintain…



Susan began to laugh.
“Wai.. you mean as smart as Cole is he still thinks like this? I mean no insult to your dear husband Flo. But..why does he make having children seems like an item to acquire?

Florence stood with her bag.
“Suzy, I know I dislike some of the things that Cole does but I won’t sit and listen to you insult him. Not having children now is his decision which am in total agreement with. Let’s leave it at that and it will be nice if you respect our decision.

Susan raised her hands up in total surrender.
“Okay.. okay Flo. But remember that you’re a woman and time ticks every passing day with opportunity for you. Cole is a man and if you don’t convince him now to start a family it maybe difficult in the future when you feel ready and in desperately need of babies. You are my younger sister and I won’t I advise you wrongly.

“Whenever Cole feels ready, I will be ready too and God will then perfect it. This is just our fourth year in marriage, we’re enjoying our selves….there’s no rushing Suzy. That ends it. Say hello to Jimmy and my nephews whenever they return. I’m going home. I know Cole will be coming home late tonight. Let me go and fix dinner before he returns…

Florence left, on her way home she decided to drive past her church.

The whole place was quiet. The church was always open for anyone who wants to come in.
She adjusted her gown before taking a jacket to wear on top of the cloth.
As she walks in, her eyes was focused on the front pew.

Florence sat facing the alter. She stare at the crucifix sign for sometime before lowering her eyes to her wedding ring.
This was the third time she was coming to church on a week day with no one in it.
Each of the time she was lost in words.

“God..I..I.
She went speechless again not knowing how to express all the heaviness in her heart.

Somebody suddenly cleared his voice quietly close to her
Florence startled before turning.

“Pastor Josh…

He came to sit beside her leaving some distance.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt your deep session.

She sighed sadly

“Is alright pastor. You didn’t interrupt anything. I have allot on my mind that I really wanted to talk to God about. I felt God will listen more if I’m in his sanctuary… but I can’t seem to put my words together.



“He knows what you want to say even before you say it. He hears through the heaviness of your heart… God is listening and won’t leave nor forsake you. Trust him to fix whatever that is troubling you or your home. Trust him and have no doubt Mrs Spence.

She held her hands together and looked up at the big altar.

“That’s the problem pastor Josh. My faith gets weaker and weaker on each passing day. I’m loosing it up..I don’t know how to trust God fully. sometimes I feel he is not listening…

Pastor Josh was quiet for sometime and didn’t reply her immediately.

“He is ever present in time of need. If he cares and clothes the lilies in the field, birds in the air and animals that swims the ocean current how much more you that is made in his image. Trust him… that’s all he wants you to do. Trust him with all your heart and withhold nothing from him.

Florence nodded. Pastor Josh stood and walked away quietly.

That was all she needed, a reassurance that God still cares and always listening.

It was already dark when she drove into the gate.
She missed her husband’s and sister’s calls.
She tried calling her him back severally but he wouldn’t pick.
She called Susan and she informed her that Cole called and asked of her whereabout.

Her heart skipped when she saw her husband’s car parked in the garage.

She checked the time and gasped out 8:32pm.
The traffic has contributed to her late arrival.
She picked up her hand bag and walked inside.

He was taking coffee on the dining when she stepped in.

“Where are you coming from? He asked while looking down at his coffee cup.

“I’m sorry darlin, I never knew you will be home this early. I stopped at Susan’s place and from ther…

“Shut the hell up. He interrupted
“….I called your ugly mannered sister and she told me that you aren’t there, you left… where are you coming from I ask one more time.

Florence sighed sadly and moved closer to him.
“Cole, that’s what I’m trying to explain. After I left Susan’s place I decided to drive to church and I didn’t stay for long, it was the traffic that delayed me.

He suddenly threw the coffee at her face.
“I asked you to go home Florence. That was an order. You were supposed to come straight home and not go gossiping from your sister’s house to church. Are you having an affair with the pastor? Because this is the third time you will be using church as an excuse.

Florence tried to wipe off the coffee dripping down from her face.
Cole stood and barked angrily at her

… you are very lucky that I don’t beat women. If I was a woman beater this dirty attitude of yours would have attracted whole lot of beating for you. so disobeying my orders now is the new trend right? Susan is putting you through on how to be stubborn? I asked you to wear a particular cloth for a colleague’s birthday party, You refused and wore what you liked. I sent you home and you decide to go wherever you want… this will be a last warning Florence, there’s no two dictator in this house. Is either my way or no other way. Today is the last day you will go over to Susan or to your church… until I decided to lift the ban. The only place you’re allowed to go is your work place and if your office ever gets in the way of my orders I will also stop you from working. so make sure you don’t allow your work place affect your duties as a wife. Not under my nose will my wife become a tyrant. Go and fix me another coffee and take it to the room.



He stood and walked away.
Florence wiped a tear before entering the bathroom to wash her coffee face.
She stare at the mirror in the bathroom.



“God…I…whenever I feel tired to carry on, please push me forward in your strength. If truly you care about me then change Cole…I love him so much. make him a better man, a man after your own heart…who will love me dearly and serve you truly. Mak…

“Florence… where is the coffee. I’m still waiting and my patience is running low…

Cole called out to her from the sitting room.

Florence quickly wash off her face before going to make another fresh coffee for him.
He was sitting in the parlour when she brought the coffee.

“I said after you are done making the coffee take it to the room, isn’t that what I said earlier or have you suddenly gone deaf…?

“I’m sorry, I forgot.
Florence apologies as she started walking inside with the coffee in hand.

” I will like to take that coffee with snacks. I feel like eating a home made sponge cake or donut…

Cole said after Florence who stood obediently.

“I can’t bake Cole, beside we don’t have ingredients for donut and is already late to buy..”

“Remind me again Florence… what exactly are you good at? You can’t make any delicious meal, you can’t obey simple instructions, you are so boring in bed… even things as simple as baking and making donut you can’t make. What can you really do Florence?

Florence bite her lower lips as tears gathered in her eyes.
She blinked severally to hold it back from running down.
“I will make a sandwich for you Cole… I also have fried chicken and rice in the fridge. I can microwave it for you if you are hungry.

“I said I want coffee and snacks… simple instructions Florence. Do what I asked of you… make the sandwich ready and another fresh hot coffee. You know the way I love my coffee. After then freshen up and wait for me in bed…

Florence did all he asked of her. She fixed extra sandwich for herself with tea.
After she was done, she had her shower.

Cole was already in bed waiting.
She joined him

He grabbed her roughly, Florence moaned in pain as his fingers dig into her.
She was used to his rough way of love making and dares not complain.

After the whole thing was over he turned to her and said.

“Hope you are taking your drugs.

She nodded.

“… make sure you don’t miss any. I’m not ready for any baby’s trouble now. So stick to your drugs to avoid falling pregnant…

Florence nodded before moving to the bathroom.

He called out to her from the bathroom that early morning.
She rushed to him and he pointed a tooth paste towards her face.

“What is this? Cole asked her

“Is paste. Replied Florence wondering what she did wrong again.

“Are you daft? Ofcourse I know is paste. Check how disgusting the whole body looks like. Why can’t you do things in a clean and arranged manner? You know how stuffy like this irritates me.

“I’m sorry darlin. I only took paste to brush this morning. I wasn’t even paying attention to how I pressed it out.

Florence apologiesed and wishing he will drop the topic.

“Florence, I have told you that anytime you want to take paste, apply preasure starting from the bottom not from the middle of the body. Let things look orderly for ones in this house. I have to teach you again on how to take a common tooth paste…what exactly do you know how to do on your own?

Florence was tired of standing and listening to the morning lectures again on toothpaste.
She kept quiet and listened like a good student
When the lecture was over she heaped a sigh of relief before returning to what she was doing.

After two weeks, Cole informed her of another of his colleagues house warming party that will be huge.
He asked her to wear the said cloth he bought to the party.

“Cole… let me wear another. That gown is not appropriate for a married woman…

“Shhhh! You will do exactly what I say… I want to see that gown on you.

Florence wore the gown as he instructed her.

“Oh mine… you put me right in the mood sweetie. Turn around let me see…

Florence turned and watch her husband exclaimed excitedly.
He held her from behind and caressed her from the back to her boobs.

Florence felt disgusted and stepped away from him.

“Stop treating me like a harlot darling. I’m your wife and deserve some respect…

Cole laughed out.

“Sweetie… you’re my harlot, my wife, my cook, my maid… my every every. Anytime I need you to play any of those roles you just have to switch and do as I say. Today, you have to act like my harlot… hahahaha.

They Left for the occasion. When they arrived there, both the men and the women couldn’t help but stare at Florence.

She was very ashamed at first but looking at Cole he was enjoying the attention on his wife.

Florence caught him staring at a young pretty lady who also looked back at him and smile.
She felt bad but tried not to show it.
It was until some of the men started winking and makin sexual faces at Florence she decided to brace up and enjoy the moment.



Cole was no longer finding it funny. When he stepped away to greet


some of his senior colleagues before he will return his wife was talking and laughing with two younger men.
“Excuse me, did you know that this is a married woman…?

Cole stared angrily at the young men.

“Oh… sorry. We’re not taking your wife away except if she wants one of us to. I will be so pleased to have a beautiful curvy sexy pretty Lady as her. She was sitting alone when i and my friend saw her. Why will you leave your pretty wife all by herself. We only decided to say hello…or is there any crime in saying hello to a beautiful lady…?

Florence was enjoying the moment. Next time Cole will not bring her out to the public dressed like this.

The men stood, they smiled at her and she retuned the smile so well that made Cole swear under his breath.

“You’re shamelessly entertaining men right under my nose. Acting like a cheap harlot…

Cole said as he sat beside Florence.

“What where you thinking when you forced me to wear this gown darling? This cloth is calling for so much attention from the men and even some of the women I’m not the one doing it, my appearance says it all. I’m only dancing to the music you are playing. Remember I’m your harlot today… I’m also free to attract other clients. let’s both enjoy the moment Cole…

“I think you should take a cab home Florence. I can no longer stand my wife flirting with men shamelessly. Is better you just go home. Beside I have some catch up to do and will probably be staying late before coming home.

Florence chuckled annoyingly, upsetting Cole even more. she bent over to Cole’s ear and whispered quietly.



“Darling, I will stick by you until this party is over and we will return home together. There’s nothing to go home to…no kids yet so we’re both free to catch cruise. Sorry to disobey you again dear husband but I’m not stepping an inch out of here alone except we’re leaving together.

One of the men that was previously sitting with her walked past with a drink in hand.
He raised his glass at her and she waved happily at him.

Cole was boiling angrily and said.

“Damn you Florence! You’re very Lucky that we’re in public…but wait until we get home.

Florence didn’t bother replying him.

The music started and some people stood dancing.

Cole remained seated while Florence who crossed her legs was filled with smile as she continued to enjoy the show.

“Hello pretty…

Cole looked up and it was another strange man. He waved at Cole annoyingly.

“… the music is loud, can you hear what I’m saying pretty..?

Florence nodded excitedly.

“… okay good. Is this your brother, your boyfriend or your husband…I can see you are wearing a wedding ring.

“He’s my husband.

Florence replied. Cole looked on and wishing his eyes has bullet so that he can shoot down both the strange man and his wife.

“Ohkay…I was hoping he wouldn’t mind if I ask you to dance with me?

“I’m not much of a dancer but aside that I don’t want to. I appreciate you wanting to dance with me of all the single ladies here… I’m thrilled. Since I’m together with my husband I can’t possibly dance with you…buh thank you.

The man nooded with smile before walking away.

“Stand up let’s go home. Get up quickly… is time to go. You have had enough moment humiliating me Florence…

“Why so angry Cole? He’s just one of the attracted clients. I’m only trying to be nice to them due to the nature of my job today.

Cole was almost dragging her up. But she forcefully pulled her hand away from him.

She stood up majestically with her bag. Waved to the men who can’t stop staring at her. They waved back disappointed that she was already leaving.

Florence walked like a runaway Queen until she got to the car.
Immediately she was seated, Cole locked her in the car and retuned back to the party.

He stayed there for another 30minute before returning back to the car.

Florence was glad that the car air condition was on.
She didn’t flinched or worry.
All she did was to relax back her head and wait.

Cole came back and drove off without a word.
None said anything until they got home.

He pushed her towards the bed and she fell face down.
He grabbed her hair and pulled her up to the head of the bed.

She remained still, deep down she knows what he was about to do.
This wasn’t the first or second time he has done such to her.

She has gone on her knee after the last time pleading and begging him never to do such to her again.
She has wept heavily, hot tears poured down from her face.
She has grabbed his legs as she lay on the floor crying and pleading to him never to do such to her again.
She promised to do any other thing he will ask of aside this particular act

Cole was kind enough to consider and put away the handcuff.
Is been six months he kept away the handcuff and had not used it on her.
Florence has been happy and did every other thing he demands from her.

Back at the party she knew what she was getting into.
She knew trouble was lurking around for her but she refused to care about it. Her happiness was giving her husband a dose of his own medicine.
The after effects didn’t trouble her mind.

Florence knew this maybe his way of torturing her, Cole thinks her perfect punishment will be putting her in his sexual fantasy bondage.
She wore her thick skin and wait for whatever he was about to do.

Cole brought out the handcuff where he kept it.
He pulled her two hands up before handcuffing them on the bed poll.

“You enjoyed being a slut right?… you were shamelessly entertaining other men without any iota of fear. I will treat you like a harlot, a cocotte, a hooker because that is what you chose to become sweetie….

Florence watched him go up and down.
He came back again with a whip and placed it beside her.
she neither plead nor look scared.

He was in his underpants when he climbed the bed and roughly pulled off clothes from Florence body.

He took off everything on her. She stared at him without emotions.

He lifted the whip and descend it on her multiple times.
She only flinch in pain but did not plead or cry.
She didn’t even say any words as he pounced on her like a prey.
She was bruised in both thigh, her both hand hurt so bad and felt swollen.
Her back was badly bruised too. She winced in pain but didn’t plead for him to stop.

Cole continue his horrifying sexual fantasy until he felt satisfied.
He wanted Florence to cry, to plead, to scream like a scared cat like she used to do in the past whenever he chains her up for sexual pleasure.

But she didn’t. She looked like she was


going to pass out but she still didn’t plead.
Cole finally left her alone.
He unchained her, pushed her to the floor and she fell with a heavy thud.
She was exhausted and was almost passing out but she managed to crawl to the bathroom. She entered the bathtub filled the bath with warm water.
She pulled up her knee, bent her head in between her bruised thigh.
Her whole body achs. She was in serious pain all over.
She filled the bathtub with warm water and sat inside.
Florence broke down and wept bitterly. It was a silent cry but she only wish she could scream down the roof.
She wish she will drag Cole and push his head underneath the water. She will watch him beg for breath, watch him plead for air and will be satisfied to finally watch him drown in the bathtub.

Different evil imagination flooded her mind as she sat there weeping silently.

Thinking of how much she had loved such a man from way back.

They have met during the time her company assigned her to go and take stock of the medical equipment supplied in Cole’s company.

He wasn’t a manager then but a senior staff.
He was the one taking her round the laboratory interlocked rooms meant only for senior staffs

He was quiet entertaining and very fine too.
She just ended things with Max, her ex boyfriend who later traveled out of the country.
She was open to dating again and getting married to a God fearing man.

Coleman Spence portrayed a perfect picture.
He talks about God with her and even asked her how often she attends church.

Anytime she invites him to a church program he never fails to attend.
His loves for children makes her even fell more in love with him.
He buys things for Susan’s kids even some of the kids in church.

He smiles alot and mentiones God anytime they were together.
including in every of their conversation.

It was exactly what Florence wanted.
He wasn’t much of a devoted Christan but he became serious after meeting Florence.
He has everything she wanted in a man and she began to imagine what being his wife will look like.
She wished and prayed to become Mrs Spence. She was madly in love with Cole and only hope that God will perfect their union.

They went on their first and second date and he appears like an angel.
Although she noticed that he was temperamental but he never allows it to get out of hand.
Florence saw that weak part of him but her deep love for him covers his multitude of sin.
He didn’t hide the fact that he loves her.
Whenever he talks about her beauty and her cute smile she will blush like a virgin maid.
They dated for almost a year before he proposed to her and she has no doubt that Cole was her husband.
God has finally answered her prayers.

It was all good after they got married. Cole attends church service with her, he even makes food, set the breakfast table, call often to check her at work but after a year he began to change gradually.

He told her that he wasn’t ready to have kids yet. She wanted to have kids after wedding but Cole thought differently.

She wondered why he showed so much care and love to kids both in church and anywhere he comes across them while they were dating but wants no kids of his own.
Could it just be a mere act.

She argued for weeks but Cole warned her not to ever go against his orders or she will live to regret it.
It was a serious threat.
She has to agree with him on everything just to avoid getting him pissed off.

Cole changed all of a sudden. He obviously doesn’t even know the God he talks about often while they were dating.

Everything changed. No love, no care, no sitting and laughing or even praying like some other couples do.
She sometimes feels this strong jealousy resting on her chest whenever she see Susan her sister with her own husband Jimmy. When she listens to her colleagues talking about their loving husbands or even some of her friends she feels so pained and began to wish Cole was truly loving.
She sometimes fabricate love story of she and Cole so that she won’t feel left out.

This year is their fourth year in marriage and yet, Cole is not talking about having children.
He is more after sexual fantasy. He sit on his laptop most nights watching either porn or some dirty sexual act which he will end up practising with her.

He sometimes buys the materials that aroused him in the dirty video he watches and force her to wear them

She has pleaded in the past for him to stop treating her like a hooker until she was tired and decided to dance to every music he plays.

Despite all of this she remains obedient. She loves him still and kept praying for God’s intervention. But it seems God is no longer interested in her affairs.

Her prayer life has gone so low, the zeal to pray or study the word is not there anymore.
She mostly finds her voice when she visit the church.
She express her self better and felt God was listening if not through words but through her heavy heart.
Cole stopped her from going to Church or visiting Susan.

Her life is in disarray. The worst part is that she still loves him dearly and felt helpless.

Florence scrubbed her body while in the bathtub. She wept heavily and wish both her mind and body will be purged.
Cole makes her feel dirty and worst with herself.
She was loosing her mind and can’t do anything to save herself.

She stepped away from the bath after sitting their for long. She made a strong coffee and gulped it down.
She needed something stronger. Maybe a stick of cigarettes before she go insane.
She made another strong coffee and stare at it, it was 2am in the morning.
Sleep has eluded her. She only wanted to get back her life again.

Florence sat on the table thinking. She wrapped her nighty around herself.

“Don’t just stare down at me God. Stop watching me wrath in pain… If you are truly up there and cares about me then do something quick before I do something crazy…

She gulped down the coffee again. Turn on the television and began changing from station to station, looking for a better one that will take her mind away from her problem.

She finally slept off and was awaken by Cole who questioned her on why she didn’t make any breakfast.
She managed to stand and walked to the kitchen to make something for him.
She set it on the dining with his coffee.

He was walking out of the door with his bag and car key without taking his breakfast again when Florence stopped her.

“Cole, the breakfast you asked for is on the dining..
Florence managed to say.
“I don’t feel like taking it anymore. Or is it a crime to change my mind…huh?

Florence has alot she wanted to say to his face. Her anger boils as she thought of last night and looking at his face this morning.
She walked away before her emotions will get the best of her.



After Cole left, she called her office to inform them that she won’t be able to make it to work that day.
She was still hurting from last night bondage from Cole and was not fit enough go to work.

She was sleeping in the mid afternoon when a call woke her up.

“Hello Floxy, hellooo…are you there?

It was Tina her girlfriend, they attended same university and she was her roommate back in school.

“Tina… I’m here. What’s up…

“,Cool. are you alright? Today is Monday… I assumed you didn’t go to work. Are you on leave or you are sick…

“I’m fine Tina. Just needed small rest that’s all…how are you?

She cleared her voice. Like she was about to say something funny

“Your darlin husband must have given you overdose sweetness last night that made you this tired. He glued you to bed… hahahaha! Or are you pregnant? I will be so happy Floxy if is true. How’s Cole… I believe he’s fine. Floxy, Guess who I ran into yesterday night?

Florence mentioned few names but Tina said they were all wrong.

“Is Maxwell… your max. We coincidentally ran into each other. He asked of you and even wanted your number. He said he just returned from Germany and I gave him your number… He just wants to say hi to you… Floxy, did he call you?

Florence told Tina that nobody called her. She doesn’t know how to react to the fact that her ex was in town and has her number.

After the call ended she stood to fix something to eat. She haven’t had breakfast and she also needs to make dinner for her husband.
It was almost 3pm.
She has been sleeping almost all day.

Florence made dinner ready for her husband
It was around 6pm she finished cooking.

Her husband close 5pm from his office and sometimes gets home by 8pm.

Her phone rang, she picked up.

“Hello…

“Hey Floxy. Longest time… this is Max.

” Hi Max…
Florence replied

“Your voice haven’t changed one bit. Still sweet to the ear like a melodious rythm. I Have missed you Floxy. How’s your family… husband, children… everyone?

Florence breathed deeply before replying

“Fine… we’re good. my husband is doing great too. How bout you max?

“Very well. I’m fine…can we chat on WhatsApp? I have already sent a message to you there…

Florence was quiet. Cole will not take it lightly with her if he finds out that she was chatting with her ex.

“Uhmmm! I’m very busy right now Max. Making dinner for my hubby…he will soon return. I won’t be able to chat with you… maybe not today, tomorrow I will be at the office. Any other day that I’m free I will holla you. thanks for calling anyway, Is nice hearing from you again.. I need to go back to my cooking…

“Alright then. I’m happy to hear your voice and to know that you’re doing great. Take care then…

Florence dropped her phone and return to what she was doing.
Around 9pm Cole was still not back.
She decided to call him to know if he was alright.

“Hey darling…is there traffic? I’m worried that you haven’t returned yet and decided to check up.

Cole sighed before saying
“You didn’t call all day, until now. What kind of wife are you…do I need to remind you that you are supposed to check up on your husband continuesly? Florence, you are too annoying for my liking. Anyway, I won’t be coming home tonight…I have something to sort out..

He was still talking when somebody interrupted him all of a sudden from the background.

“Mr Spence…can we go now? I’m ready. I need a long cool bath and a massage…

Florence heart skipped when she heard the female voice speaking to her husband..

She tried to ask who she was and where exactly Cole was at the moment but Cole ended the call and switched off his line.

Florence almost threw her phone to the wall out of annoyance.

She wondered who the lady was and where she was going with her husband at that time.

She took her time to make dinner for him and Cole never thought to call earlier and let her know that he wasn’t coming home.

She sat on the ground bitting her lips and trying to hold back herself from crying.

Her phone beeped, she checked her phone and it was Maxwell.

She wanted to ignore but decided to reply him.
He sent her an old picture of both of them.
She looks so happy and was laughing in the picture.
Florence replied him why he still has the pictures if them even after he knew that she was married.

She relaxed back and began chatting with Maxwell.
Chatting with Max took her mind away from thinking and crying over Cole and whatever lady he was with at that time.

BEING MRS SPENCE
Episode 4

By AMAH’S HEART

 

 

She looks at the file of paper work on her desk and gasped out tiredly.

Since two weeks now, she has not been able to concentrate at work.
Even her manager noticed the errors in her office performance few weeks ago and asked her what was going on.
She apologized and promised that it won’t happen again.
It happened again but her manager over looked it untill this week.
Today was Wednesday, her performance since Monday has not been impressive at all.

A whole lot of mistake and misplaced files.
After summiting her file work yesterday, she came to work this morning only to see the same piles of work that she has done previously on her table.
She saw a written note on it from her business development manager asking her to do it all over due to many mistakes in it.

She stared at the work tiredly and rest her head on her chair with her eyes shot.

“Mrs Spence…?

Florence quickly sat up and saw her manager.

“… what’s going on? Recently, your performance is becoming very poor…unlike you. Is affecting our daily productivity here.

“I’m sorry. I will readjust…I promise that’s it won’t happen again. Florence apologiesed.

“Yeah, you kept promising and saying the same thing every time. please let it not happen again for real this time. I’m already getting sick and tired of combining your work load with mine because yours isn’t properly done. Making excuses for your mistakes and working late because of you. Is over a month already with same issue, please we can’t continue this way. We all have different families to tend and other personal troubles. But we make sure it doesn’t get in the way of our jobs. Try to get yourself together and leave whatever troubling you aside… you need to refocus Mrs Spence… please. So that we can move forward…

Florence nodded to everything that her manager was saying
She apologized again and promised to do better.

After work she thought of going over to Susan’s place but to avoid further problem from Cole made her change her mind.

She has told Susan over the phone that the reason why she haven’t come by is because of her busy schedule.
She did not tell her it was because her husband stopped her from visiting.

She crave to speak to someone, maybe a drive to church will do lots of good, where she can pour out her mind to God but that too is under restriction.

Maybe a call to Tina, her close pal will be okay.
But Tina doesn’t know anything about her marriage. She has always fed Tina with lies painting Cole and her marriage as perfect.
She can’t possibly tell Tina the real thing she is passing through.
Tina holds her in high esteem and respects Cole


/> It will change everything and she may want to start asking about Maxwell.
She slowed things with Maxwell. She is a married woman no matter how sad her marriage to Cole is at the moment.
She remain married and wouldn’t want to give room for extra marital affair.

Cole and his mistery woman are definitely having something going which she has refused to admit to.

She has asked Cole the following day when he retuned about the female voice addressing him as Mr Spence.
But Cole said is his office secretary they were on a field work together.

She tried not to push harder just to avoid problem but Cole has been coming home late, spendings alot of time with his phone and leaving the house weekend and returning late.
She knew something is fishy but she refused to admit to it. Hoping that her assumption is not true.

She really needs to sit up and focus on her job to avoid further problem. She can’t loose her job because of Cole.
She will go totally insane if she stays home without stepping out.
Going to work is a little escape from the prison called home.

Cole will probably be coming late as his newly developed habit.
Stopping in the church for few minutes won’t be a bad idea.

Florence drove to church and walked in straight to the quiet place.
She sat at the front pew hoping there won’t be any distractions.
She crave to have few minutes alone with God.

“Oh God of heaven and of earth, you remain God above gods. You sees the heart of men and the content it holds. My heart is open before you God… no one can save my husband or my marriage if not you. Be merciful and answer me….mend my home please Lord. Restore sanity, love and godliness in my marriage. I want my husband to seek you and truly know that you are God. Help me to forge ahead as each day comes…. when my strength is not enough to carry me along, please Lord of all Lords carry me in your wings and don’t let me fall… please don’t let me fall….

Florence stayed praying and talking to God.
Tears run down her cheek and she didn’t bother stoping it’s flow.
When she later felt relieved she stood up and drove home.
Cole wasn’t back and she was happy for that.

She quickly prepared dinner for him. It was almost 11pm that he came back.

“Hey sweetie…

Cole surprisingly greeted his wife. He presented her with a banquet of flowers.

“…You’re still up? Thought you will be asleep by now. Did you make dinner…? I had my fill at the office but your food taste better to me. I will have a spoon or two before heading to bed. Sorry for keeping you awake… closed late as usual and the traffic was terrible too… could have called but got carried away. Sorry sweetie..Let me shower first.

He bent over and kiss Florence before walking to the room.

Florence pinched herself to make sure she wasn’t dreaming.
She put the flower to her nose and it smells great.
She inhaled slowly before dropping it carefully.

She quickly set the table and made sure everything was perfectly in order to avoid getting him upset.
Could this be an answer to her prayers. The answer came quicker than she thought or was it a mere coincidence?
Could this be a prayer answered.
Florence continued to wonder within herself.

Cole had dinner and asked her how her day went
Florence gladly fill him in and try as much as possible not to go into details.

She had many questions she wanted to ask pertaining to his sudden niceness to her but she swallowed it up and hoping to ask on a good day.
They had a loving night, where he slowly cuddled her, he caressed her gently. Kissed her passionately which left Florence wondering what was really going on.

She has concluded within her that her husband is not the type that waste time in romance, he is not capable of treating her tenderly but he just proved her wrong.

“, Darlin…is it time to finally start trying for a baby?

Florence managed to ask while relaxing in his arm.
Cole was quiet, Florence almost thought he was offended by the question and was about apologizing to him.
But he suddenly said.

“I’m not fully ready yet. Let’s wait sweetie… maybe after this year then next year we can start making babies…

He replied her. Florence wish he can agreed to start right away but she nodded instead with a smile.
She was very okay to whatever her husband says.

While they were still in bed caressing and kissing, Cole moaned out a lady’s name.



It sound strange and might be a mistake which made Florence to ignore.

But he did it again and again in the middle of mating.
She went still and cold in bed, she didn’t know how to react to it.

After the whole thing was over, Florence still couldn’t wave it off.
She decided to asked him.

“Who’s Marina?
Cole turned and looked at her strangely.

“…. I’m sorry but you mentioned her like twice or more. It got me wondering…

Florence said calmly and hoping he won’t deny it.

“,I can’t remember doing that but Marina is my personal secretary’s name. Is probably due to she’s officially close to me but I can’t remember calling her name though….

Florence nodded quietly. She didn’t want to stress the issue any further.
They just had one beautiful bedroom moment that isn’t common unlike the rough love making she was used to.

She doesn’t want to spoil the atmosphere with worries, questions and doubts.

The following day she was early to work.
Due to last night time with Cole, she felt delightful and concentrated on her job.

Before weekend she was able to tidy her office work with no mistake.

Cole drove out that Saturday morning while Florence was tidying up the house when Susan came visiting.

“Is months now I haven’t seen your face. We have only been speaking over the phone. Since you complained of tight schedule is the reason for not coming over to my place, I decided to come visiting.

Florence was pleased to see her sister but she doesn’t want Cole to come back and meet her.

“Flo, you have not start considering childbearing? You have to force Cole, talk and fight for it if you truly desires to be a mother. Is four years already Flo…

“I know Suzy, Cole said next year…I will patiently wait till then. Florence cut in sharply.

“Listen Flo, you are a woman and this child bearing thing doesn’t work like magic… you need to be certain that you are very much fertile and can conceive easily. Cole is a man, he’s not the one that will carry the burden of the pregnancy. Is all on you…I will advise you to get pregnant first… then tell him about it. He won’t have choice than to accept your timing. Since he agrees next year, the differences is not much… start trying from this year Flo. Get pregnant and tell him and you will be surprised that he will be also be happy with the news…

Florence later dismiss her sister with the excuse of going to buy groceries.

She thought of what Susan told her and decided to take the risk.

She stopped taking her drugs and started getting more intimately involved with Cole who doesn’t know what she was after.
She bought alot of pregnancy test stick and hide it away

Cole harsh behavior retuned gradually but she tried everything possible to avoid getting into his trouble.
After two months, there was no sign of pregnancy. She kept trying, and became a bit worried at fourth month. Florence didn’t give up trying, she became more serious at it.

One Friday on the fifth month of trying to conceive, on her way home from the office she decided to pick up few groceries.
Cole spent the previous night out due to office work according to him.
She was going to make a delicious dinner before he returns tonight.

After picking up the groceries, she drove back home and was surprised to see Cole’s car.
He was back already, that was way too early for a night walker like Cole.

Florence happily got into the house, she was glad that her husband is home in time.
The weekend will be a great one.
She called out to her husband who is probably in the room.
She heard noise coming from the room and thought that he must be on call.

The sitting room, dining and kitchen was totally messed up. She wondered if there was a house party or it was just Cole who doesn’t like a messy place but single handly messed up the whole house.

While she bent over at the kitchen and try to unpack, somebody startled her from behind.

“Hi… you must be Florence?

Florence quickly stood and saw a fine young lady, wearing her clothes as she walks straight to the fridge to take a drink.

“Who are you and what are you doing in my cloth…?

“Oh, are the cloths yours? I didn’t know… Mr Spence pointed to a wardrobe and asked me to take anything from there and wear. We have been home all day and I didn’t come with much stuffs…

Cole came into the kitchen just then and said.

“Florence, you are back… try and clean up the house. You know how much I hate a messy place. By the way… this is Marina, my personal assistant. We have some paper work to tidy up together, so she will be spending weekend with us. Hurry and make dinner for all of us… I’m famished already. I guess Marina is equally hungry…

A speechless Florence looked from Cole to Marina who was smiling sheepishly.

Being Mrs Spence
Episode 5


 

 

She looked up at him in doubt of what he was requesting.

Her eye ball pop out straight to his as she dares him to repeat what he just said.

“…Sweetie, it will be fun… let’s give it a try. Is another way of spicing up our marriage.

Florence began to laugh at the disgusted request coming from her very own husband.

“Cole, I’m not really sure I heard you clearly. What exactly did you say…again?

Florence was hoping he won’t have the gut to repeat it again but he did.

“Florence, I have said it twice already but since you pretend not to hear or understand me, I will say it again. Will you mind if Marina joins us in bed tonight… Is a new modernized way for sexholics like us to enjoys a sexathon bedtime, that’s a long period of sex. In other words is called party. Is hell of fun and I promise that you will enjoy it, trust me on this… and give it a try. Marina is very willing and if you can do this sweetie, I will do your bidding without a second thought….

“Cole you are obviously running mad without knowing it. I say it again with no apology… you and your Marina… two of you are crazy. You told me that she was only here for weekend right? But we are about to enter the second week and your so called personal assistant is still here. I caught you in bed with her on Tuesday when I decided to come home way too early and you apologies and promise to send her away Cole. You must have mistaken my quietness for a fool. I have been calm, tolerating, praying that you will get back to your senses, I have been cooking and cleaning her whole mess. I have made a big fool out of myself. You have the nerve, the gut Cole to ask me to have a party with you and Marina? and you think you are normal? You have allowed the devil to dominate your heart Cole, so get behind me devil. I’m tired already… I’m driving straight down to see your mother. I’m glad she’s still alive. I can’t take this whole madness anymore….I can’t.

Just then Marina stepped out of the room.

“I heard my name. I was wondering why my name was being mentioned. Listen Florence, is quiet clear that you don’t love your husband. He innocently asked for a party which is very common and you are here making a whole lot of noise… calling your ancestors. You even called him a devil. Oh my gosh… you are not fit to be Mrs Spence. You are angry that I haven’t left, Mr Spence invited me, I’m his personal visitor and if he wants


me to stay as long as I want no one can tell me otherwise. I’m his guest and not yours. Since you don’t value your marriage and not ready to spice up things then give room let another woman teach you the knowledge you obviously lack. Since I came into this house almost two weeks now, I have been on my lane, minding my business and only mingle with whatever Mr Spence wants me to contribute in which includes bedroom plays. I have been doing my job perfectly. You mentioning my name in a wrong way, that is exactly what I don’t like and I gat to stretch it out with you Florence, you are not a good wife. For refusing to spice up the bedroom pre-intimacy with your husband, you are a dulard and not ready to learn. I’m good at it and very willing to teach you what you don’t know…but your churchy lifestyle and primitive brain won’t allow you to be great. I’m sorry to say that you are not fit to be Mrs Spence…
Florence folded her fist, trying to suppress the anger forming heavily on her mind.

Marina was far from her reach. Florence who couldn’t take it anymore raised one leg up, took off a leg of her shoe.
Which was something she could easily lay her hand on.
She pulled it out and threw it straight at Marina who quickly dodged it.
She was about rushing down to her when Cole caught his wife and pushed her far away.

Florence fell down as Cole pushed her, she quickly stood up from the ground.

“Florence, why are you so vexed? Everything Marina said is the fact. Which of them will you deny? Anyway, you can still change your mind and let’s take our marriage to another level. Is a welcomed idea and it will help you greatly. And about seeing my mother, you are going to make a big mockery of yourself there, remember she is my mother and not yours. I won’t stop you from going to see her but you will wish you haven’t wasted your time going…

Florence stormed out angrily.
She drove out and kept hitting the steering wheel hard. She was almost running crazy and can’t keep it together anymore.
Driving down to see her mother inlaw took the whole day.
She was residing in another city and it was indeed a very long drive before she finally arrived.

Cole’s elder sister was around with her mother when she walked in. His elder sister’s daughter was watching kid’s show.

After exchanging pleasantries, without wasting time Florence went straight to what made her come all the way down.

Her mother-in-law looked at her daughter, that is Cole’s elder sister and they began to laugh.
Florence didn’t understand the reason for their laughter
Her mother inlaw loves to be addressed by her name. Everyone knows her as madam Gold.
Florence said to her.

“Cole brought a Lady for over a week now to our home all in the name of working together. She stays in the guest room and just last week Tuesday, I suspected their dirty game and drove back home only to caught them in our matrimonial bed together. Alot I can’t put into words have been going on madam Gold. Your son walks up to me this morning and asked me to join in a party sex with him and this said lady. There are many others but you see this last part where he asked me for a party cut me deeply madam Gold. Your son has no regards for me as his wife…he…

Madam Gold interrupted.

“Point of correction, stop addressing him as just my son, he is your husband and has in turn becomes your burden. I’m not interfering in your marriage Florence, carry your cross alone. That is what it takes to be Mrs Spence. If you complained from now till tomorrow, there’s nothing I can do. As far as I’m concerned, Coleman is not doing quarter of what his father did to me. I carried my cross, I enjoyed the marriage while it lasted because I chose to do so. Whatever your husband wants, give it to him…if he wants party, what is the big deal. If he brings a woman to the house, learn to share until she leaves. Do everything to make my son happy. He is your duty and not mine. Look at his sister here Betty, her husband is seeking for divorce because he said she’s not a good wife. His complain is baseless, accusing my daughter of violence and flirting with other men. After all she went through carrying his child and trying to support him. Betty doesn’t tolerate nonsense, she is just like me. She is ready to get divorce and move on because there are several other men that will dye for her. So, my dear Florence, do everything possible to save your marriage. If Cole wants you to turn upside down and do it with him, my dear comply…do everything to please Coleman and stop complaining. Many Ladies will kill to have your husband… that’s more reason you should protect what you have before you loose it and please stop complaining.

Betty spoke from where she sat, chewing gum loudly and filing her long nails.

“Listen Florence, my brother is a hot guy… many ladies will kill to have him. Since you are lucky to have him you should be grateful and stop complaining. He didn’t ask you to kill anyone just normal sexual fun and you are forming righteous. If you are not careful another Lady will eventually win him over. Is probably because you have not been able to produce any child for him that made him want to try another style… you should be really grateful that he is very hopeful of you giving him a child. What if you don’t have a womb or is already damaged? Try doing another style with my brother maybe you will conceive that way. Stop being a boring wife. Is not by being Mrs Spence, are you willing to do what it takes to hold the title. My Mum might have skipped it but she complains of your inability to conceive for Coleman. Is over four years and no sign of a child or pregnancy. My brother is very much alright… the problem is from you and you ran all the way here to sell him off. You should be grateful Florence… seriously…

Florence was in shock of everything she just heard both from her mother and sister inlaw.

“Wow… what a family. I’m not surprised at Cole’s crazy mentality. Cole said it all, and indeed it was a waste of time but I’m glad that we had this conversation. I can see it takes blood and sweat just to be this almighty “Mrs Spence”. And for the record, ask your son, madam Gold why he refused getting me pregnant. In his defense he doesn’t want a child yet…he isn’t ready for such responsibility. Like Betty assumed, the fault isn’t from me. Like I said earlier, I’m happy to have wasted my time for nothing. Atleast I can take whatever necessary measure that will give me peace of mind.

Florence stormed out. She ignored whatever madam Gold and Betty was saying.

She lodged in a hotel because it was late and left the following morning.
Cole was calling her that night but she ignored his call.
When she arrived home the following day,
The whole house was in disarray again.
Marina was sitting with her leg crossed and was watching the television.

“Finally, you re back. I’m hungry and have been craving for good food. Florence, please fix something for us to eat.

Marina said but Florence pretend not to hear a word she said.

“Florence, where did you pass the night? You have been away since yesterday and refused to pick my calls.

Cole barked at her, Florence replied.



“I drove down to see your mother, fortunately your sister Betty who her husband just kicked out and also asking for divorce was around too. We had a nice conversation and thanks for your previous warning about your mother not paying attention to whatever I have to say. You were absolutely right darlin.

“How happy that they gave you a taste of what they can do. And I can decide to kick you out just like Betty husband did to her if you continue like this. Don’t you ever insult any members of my family. Look around this house, is disorganized and there’s no food again left… tidy up the house and make something for me to eat.

Marina showed up by the door and said.

“Yea, Mr Spence is right. I’m really famished. And I know Mr Spence will also be very hungry… Florence, please when will you start the cooking.

Florence laughed out loudly for a very long time.
Cole and Marina stare at her.

“You and your Mr Spence are two funny folks. Marina, since we are both sharing my husband and also sharing my matrimonial bed, let’s also share the cleaning of the house, the cooking and other chores. I’m off this month, I hand it over to you and you can also have the title of Mrs Spence, I’m about to retire from that too.

She was about to walk away but Cole forcefully drew her back.

She angrily lifted her hand and slapped him on the cheek.
Cole was shocked, his jaw dropped because his wife has never done such before.
He screamed out her name.
“Florence

Florence charged towards him and replied.

“Yes, Mr Spence? Listen to me Cole, you have pushed me to the wall far too long, watch out for the clap back because is going to be really messy.

She started walking towards the door,
Marina ran back thinking Florence was coming for her.

“I think i should just leave, I will go and pick my stuffs and be going… Mr Spence will no longer be needing my service here…I..wi…

Marina said while moving back from Florence.

“No, don’t go anywhere Marina. Mr Spence still needs you. if you leave who will clean up this house, do his cooking and satisfy his crazy large appetite for sex because I’m retiring for good. You can have Mr Spence all to yourself, invite your friends for party or sixsome, turn the house upside down and do as you please. He’s yours for now my dear Marina…

Cole interrupted.

“Marina, yeah…I think you should leave immediately. I need time with my wife… get your things and leave.

Florence turned to Cole angrily.

“If she leaves who will clean up the house? Who will do your cooking and satisfy your large urge in bed? Because I’m done with your crazy ass Cole… you can go to hell and burn for all i care. Your LovePeddler, harlot or your cocotte should wait and clean up this house because I’m not picking up a pin…

“Let her go, I will do the cleaning…

He said to Florence as he walked to the sitting room and began to pack up the dirts littered everywhere.

Florence sat on the cushion, relaxed back her head, placed her legs on a stool, change the television station, and began to watch.

While Cole continue to tidy the whole place.
Marina picked up her bag.

“Mr Spence, I’m leaving…

Cole nodded without a word as he went about cleaning up the place.
Marina walked out of the house.

BEING MRS SPENCE
Episode 6
From the writer of morenikeji

 

 

“… you’re going through all of this but kept it all a secret. What if that son of a beast killed you? What if he disabled one part of your body… what will you say? To my understanding this is not marriage. I’m sorry to say but Cole, your husband is an animal. I would have dismembered him if anything happened to you.

Florence sniffs back and wiped a tear off.

“Cole is driving me nut…. I’m going crazy already because of my husband. After Marina, the lady he brought to our home left, Cole behaved normal for few days. He will do the laundry with the washing machine, vacuum the house even make breakfast sometime. I was very excited that my husband was finally back to his senses. He woke me up one night after spending time chatting on his phone, he inform me that he will be traveling. I sensed it that he probably wanted to go and lodge in a hotel with Marina. My husband traveled and stayed almost a week out. He came back three days ago with his old problem. Ordering me around like a maid, threatening to stop me from working if I don’t do his bidding. He even threaten to collect my car. He bought that car for me as a bribe during our second year in marriage when he had an affair and got caught, I threatened to leave back then before he bought that car for me just to ask me for forgiveness. Do you still remembered that Cole took the first car I bought with my money out and a truck ran it over, destroying it in the process. What I didn’t tell you is that Cole was busy talking with a woman inside an eatery, after doing a wrong parking and that was how my first car went. He promised to buy another but didn’t until I caught him having affair. There’s a lot to be said, I’m already tired. Suzy…I don’t know what to do anymore. I want my husband back. I still love him and wish we can live like normal couples. I admire you and Jimmy alot. I’m trying to get pregnant but to no avail. I don’t know what’s wrong with me… maybe if a baby is involve Cole will change for good.

Susan sighed sadly.
“Do you think so? I know you love your husband but your sanity and peace of mind should come first Flo. Well, if you think getting pregnant will change Cole to a better man, then I suggest you do so. If pregnancy is not forthcoming then try visiting the doctor…I want to also carry my niece or nephew, depending on which comes first.. soon. Flo, relax everything


will be alright but if Cole dares lay a finger on you next time, don’t keep mute let me know…
Florence decided to visit the doctor.

After checking her, the doctor told her that she was alright but her immune system is down due to all the dose of pregnancy preventive drugs she had been taking for over three years.
He prescribed some medicine for her and seven days injection.
He also said that her husband needs to take the seven days injection and some medicine that will boost his fertility.

Florence got home and without wasting time told Cole that they need to start getting ready to conceive.
She told him everything the doctor said and asked him to also visit the doctor to take his own seven days injection.
So that when they are fully ready for a child there won’t be any delay at all.

Florence didn’t tell Cole that she has been trying for several months to get pregnant but to no avail which made her visit the doctor.

Cole refused to go with her to see doctor
He told her that he was very alright, he said if something was wrong with her medically nothing was wrong with him and he wasn’t ready for her to get pregnant yet.
He suggested that she should continue taking the pregnancy preventive medicine that she was taking because he was not ready for the responsibility of becoming a father.
He can’t stand the mess, expenses, the whole drama of having a baby yet.

Until probably next year or upper. Untill then Florence has to do as he said.

It saddened her greatly when her husband said those words but she wasn’t ready to give up trying.
He may not be ready but she was ready and won’t allow Cole stop her.
When the baby is finally born, her husband will have no choice than to take up his fatherly role seriously.

Florence did everything that she was asked to do yet there was no change.

She began to seek God out, praying fervently for God to be merciful to her and bless her womb.
But after several prayer no improvement.

Cole believed she was still taking her drugs, not knowing that for almost eight months Florence has been trying to conceive.

Florence felt Cole is maybe the one delaying her from conceiving.

They make love three to five times in a week.
Cole is sometimes rough in bed but what she was mostly after is to get pregnant not the pleasure aspect of it.



Florence began to pressurize Cole to go and see the doctor but Cole kept insisting that nothing was wrong with him, whenever he is ready for a baby, she will stop taking the preventive medicine so that she can conceive.

After two weeks Cole said to her in bed after their usual love making.

“There’s something I want to tell you sweetie, don’t take it to heart please. I know it was a big mistake but it has happened and there’s nothing I can do…

Florence nodded, she thought Cole was about to admit that something was medically wrong with him and ready to buy into her suggestion to go see a doctor but he shocked her by saying.

“Marina is pregnant…

Florence blinked back severally. Not sure of what she just heard or was it her ear drum?

“Whaaaat?…I don’t understand Cole..

“I said Marina is pregnant for me. She is almost three months gone. I didn’t know how to tell you before Sweetie… she told me last month and….

She didn’t hear the rest of Cole’s explanaion. Florence stood up from the bed like a robot. She kept pinching herself to make sure that it wasn’t some bad dream.

Episode 7.
By AMAH’S HEART.

 

 

“What have I not done, how have I not prayed, no… tell me. God, answer me because I can no longer understand your reasons for all this torture. When you knew that Coleman wasn’t the man for me, you saw he was going to make my life a living hell.. you are God, ever knowing right? You saw things before it happens… you knew all this will happen yet you allowed me fall in love with such a man. You watch him dehumanized me, treated me like an animal, disrespected, turned me into a crazy bitter woman. Oh God, you saw how Cole made a harlot, a servant, a robot out of me. You could have warned me…I know I was blinded in love but knowing the aftermath of it, you would have warned me… maybe through signs like the days of the Israelites or through your ordained servants. I will listen, I could have known what I was getting myself into. Goddd! I’m tired of living…I just don’t see reasons to move ahead everyday. Ever since Coleman announced he was expecting a baby from another woman, my life has not remain the same…is in shambles. I feel like I’m at the receiving end… Coleman made a big mockery
out of me. Is hard to cope through… unexplainable hard…
Florence wept while on her knee right in church. She cried heavily and refused speaking to pastor Josh that came to her aid due to the heavy cry.

She pleaded to be alone and the pastor left her to be.

Florence later drove home, Cole was around.
He was arranging one of the guest room.

She went to bed without speaking to him.
The following day, she saw him still putting things in place.

“What are you doing…are you expecting a guest?

Florence managed to asked.

“Yeah, not a guest anymore. Marina is family now because she is carrying my child. She will be coming over later today and will be staying here. I want to make it comfortable for her and my unborn child.

Florence laughed out sarcastically

“Coleman if someone told me in my dream that you will do this to me I could have greatly doubt it. You opened your gutter mouth to tell me that you are expecting a baby from another woman and very excited about it. You are the same man that told me not to get pregnant because you are not ready for responsibility and mess from kids. You made me take pills every time just to make sure I don’t fall pregnant. Before God and man, I was a good and obedient wife…I wanted to please you at all cost but this is where it brought me. You will live to regret this Coleman… for everything you made me go through…
you will regret it except if I don’t serve a living God, except if I have ever wronged you or be a bad wife to you. But if not, your regret is awaiting…
“Spare me all this nonsense talk…
Cole barked and then continued.

“… I didn’t ask Marina to get pregnant but since she is I can only protect what’s mine. Ever since her pregnancy, my love for kids has returned… I’m looking forward to having her and my baby close to me. By the way, aren’t you the same person that said something maybe wrong with me, I may not be able to pregnant a woman until I visit the doc and he induse me with drugs and injection. Unknown to you that Marina was already pregnant for me before all this your shenanigani. Listen, I have no regret of my actions. I thought is the same bible you read everytime that says children are blessings from God, blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. I may not be fanatic or too religious like you but I know the Bible more than you do. Florence, you can’t beat this, stop trying to guilt trap me because it won’t work. My Mom is also happy and already expecting a grand child from me, she doesn’t care the woman that gives birth for me…all she’s after is to get her grandchild. Be happy for me and Marina, don’t allow jealousy and bitterness to seal your womb.

He walked out and Florence fell to the ground and wept with a heavy heart.

After a week Marina moved into the house. Florence visted her sister and told her all that was going on in her home.
Susan asked her to leave Cole and his mistress and move on with her life because Cole doesn’t worth all the trouble that she was going through.

“I have tried doing that Suzy, I packed my bags to leave but I couldn’t. I don’t know how to start all over or to love another man. Walking away from my almost five years of marriage has proven difficult but staying in that house, watching Cole and Marina drives me insane… deeply insane. Cole does not care if I stay or leave, Marina is all and all to him now. Suzy, I feel like a looser already. I have slowly become an unhappy woman. No child to call mine, I now share my husband with his soon to be baby mama. Marina deliberately gets on my nerve just to see my reaction. I’m still trying to summon courage to move on until my mind is made up, I can only live everyday at a time.

“Flo, Leave that house before those two confused souls kill you. Marina has a mission and she is an inch away from getting there. Cole is foolish and doesn’t realize it yet. He doesn’t value you and only sees you as his maid and maybe a sex toil that doesn’t supposed to get pregnant. I’m so angry right now… angry that you are still in that house and watching them treat you like trash. I won’t force you to make haste decision, take your time and decide what you really want Flo, But be wise as serpent… don’t allow those two throw you into a trash before you decide on what to do. I could have come to that house and give Cole a piece of my mind but you won’t let me. He deserves to know that you have somebody that can fight and speak up for you when necessary.

Florence later went back home.
Marina placed her two legs on Cole’s body as he sat massaging the legs while talking and laughing with her.
Florence felt invisible, no one noticed or acknowledged her presence.
They turned and looked at her before returning their attention back to what they were doing.

Florence went into the kitchen, she made food in the morning before leaving.
She couldn’t eat due to she had no appetite. She was hungry and went straight to her pot of food.
She gasped out when she saw that the pot was almost empty.
The remaining food in the pot looks like fowl food.
Somebody even ate directly from the pot.

Florence boils angrily as she rushed out to where Cole was sitting and watching the television with Marina.

“Where are all the food I made this morning.
She asked angrily.

Marina looked up at her and began to laugh, Cole joins in the laughter.
They returned their attention to the television while Cole continue to massage Marina’s leg.

Florence went straight to were they were sitting, collected the remote control and turned off the television.

“Now that I have your attention, who ate all the food I made this morning and even eat directly from the pot, leaving crumbs for me?

“What has gotten into you Florence, are you crazy?
Cole turned to her in annoyance.

.”yes oo, very crazy. Are you just noticing it but that’s not the answer to my question. I said who…

“I did, I ate the food…

Marina interrupted. She continued.

“…i told Cole that I was hungry and wanted the food you prepared because it smell so nice. He dished out for himself too and gave me mine. After an hour I was hungry again and asked him to bring the pot of food instead and he did. I didn’t finish it, I ate some of it and out of the kindness of my heart I remained for you. You understand my condition that as a pregnant woman I easily gets hungry and have cravens too. Oh, poor you… you have never been pregnant so you won’t understand.

Florence rushed and slapped her across the face.

Marina held her stomach screaming.
Cole pushed Florence away, she fell on a wooden stool and bruised her hand after hitting head on it.
she cried out in pain as she stood and charged towards Cole.

She hit Cole but he pushed her off again. Florence began to destroy things in the living room.
She threw one of the parlour stool on the flat screen TV and it broke into pieces.
She took an iron stick and began smashing things in the house. Cole tries to hold her but she hit him with the iron, bruising his forehead.
Marina ran into the room and lock up the door.
Their security man was knocking, the man rushed in but Cole sent him out and warns him never to interfere ever again.

“Florence, stop this madness or I will throw you out of this house. Go somewhere else and display your crazy style, this is not a psychiatric home. Look… you’re destroying my properties, scaring my unborn baby and the mother. Florence you are lucky because I don’t beat women, I could have broken your ribs for all this display of madness in my house.

“You dares not Coleman Spence. any day you raise a finger at me, I will uproot those untamed balls in between your legs, cook it with pepper and salt and serve it to you as dinner. I have had enough humiliation from you. A serial cheat, liar, woman beater and pretender like you. Your abuse, your disrespect and many other wicked act against me is coming to an end. Your LovePeddler is lucky that she ran away and locked herself up, I would have done emergency operation for her today, oh bet me Cole, Marina could have delivered a premature baby tonight for you…

Cole’s heart was beating so fast as he saw the fire in Florence eyes. She was vibrating angrily, displaying the crazy aspect of her that Cole wasn’t used to.

“If you won’t stay here in peace and leave Marina alone then leave, the door is open.

Cole finally said.

“Are you trying to throw me out of the house because of your harlot?

Cole knew if he says yes, Florence will go telling everyone that cares to listen that she was thrown out by her husband because of another woman who’s pregnant for him.

“I’m not throwing you out Florence but if you won’t stay peacefully, considering Marina’s condition and accommodating her and her excesses then the door is open. Marina is carrying my child and nothing must happen to her or my baby. Pamper her, let her do or eat whatever she feels like. Is her hormones that are raging, not her. You don’t understand what it feels like to be pregnant that is why you keep reacting like a mad bitter woman. Get yourself together and accept what you can’t change.

Florence bite her lip as Cole mentioned that she doesn’t know what it feels like to be pregnant and that is the reason for her bitterness.

She suddenly became tired. Florence walked away.
She allowed the day to break, got dressed for work early, she picked few of her stuffs into a bag, took her car key and walked away.
Cole didn’t stop her from going, he just watched her leave.

After the drama and altercation with Cole, Florence began to regret.
There was no need for everything she displayed in the house.
It was a real waste of energy and time.

She could moved out long ago before things escalate to this.
Moving out will give her time to think of what exactly she wants to do with her life.

 

Tbc

Episode 8.

 

Cole pick up his phone to call, but he kept thinking if he should.
He may call and Florence will not pick up and if she picks, it will end with banter and insult.
He dropped back his phone and forgot about calling her.

He felt relieved that she was gone but he can’t seems to get rid of the guilt feeling.
His wife suddenly became a pain in his life. Marina maybe lazy and can’t cook or clean like Florence, maybe due to her condition but she has other good side.
He has being the one doing majority of the house chores, ordering for food every now and then.
He thought of employing a female maid but Marina was against such idea.
She told him if he wants to employ any maid it should be a boy, not a lady.
She doesn’t want to start competing with a maid over her man.
Marina was scared of loosing him.

The only person that knows how to cook, clean, wash and make sure everywhere is tidy to his taste is Florence.
He miss that aspect of her and wish he could call her to come home to tidy up things a bit.

Marina has suggested that he should divorce Florence and focus on her and the baby alone.

Cole has promised to think about it first before proceeding with the idea.
Marina has a large crazy sexual appetite like him.
Even in pregnancy, she remains rough in bed. He likes and enjoys her different bed style unlike Florence that doesn’t know many skills like Marina does.

He will continue to over look Marina’s faults and focus on the good in her which is the bedroom display.

Marina has suggested that she can’t give birth and become an ordinary baby mama.
Is against her personality.
Since Florence is no longer a threat and he was still going to divorce her later, maybe is high time he thinks of taking their relationship to the next level.
Cole has thought of that many times and knew she was right.
On the second week after Florence left the house, he bought an engagement ring and engaged Marina who was super excited.
She hugged and bath him with kisses.
Becoming Mrs Spence was just around the corner for her, is few steps away.

Cole was happy for the decision he made but if he had to get married to Marina he has to divorce Florence first.

Since Marina was going to give birth to his child, it was only normal for her to fully take over his home and heart.
Florence is a crazy bitter woman, he was done with her. His focus now is on Marina.

Madam Gold travelled down after getting an invite from her son to visit.
Her driver brought her and she was happy to know that her son was doing well.

They sat round table laughing and talking about Florence.

“She is not ready to be Mrs Spence. Almost Five years and she can’t get pregnant… just within months of bedding Marina and she is already pregnant. Florence must be battling with regrets right now… I’m happy she left, giving room for two of you to stay in peace. I really don’t care how the baby comes or from whom, all that I care about is that it must be my son’s authentic and undiluted sperm. Coleman, You are just like your father, a fast shooter. I remember how I used to die and wake up in his arms. Just him touching me at the right spot takes my spirit to heaven. Hahahaha…

They all boast out laughing. Marina then said.

“I’m so happy meeting you, your son says many beautiful things about you. Since I’m pregnant and also engaged to him, a maximum security, peace of mind and rest should always be considered. Florence may return with another madness, I suggest Cole should put her in her place by getting her arrested. I don’t want anything to happen to me or my baby. And another thing is I will also be needing a car, with my condition I can’t be seen jumping from one taxi to another. Everything should be put in place for both my safety and well-being. Madam Gold, I like you already and will want to be like you when I grow older.

Madam Gold laughed out and promised Marina that every of her request will be considered.
Cole also agreed to the list of things Marina requested.

While they were still talking a horn was heard outside.
They rushed to the window and looked out.

“The devil is back.
Marina exclaimed sadly. Cole and his mother nodded in agreement.

******
Florence parked properly, she sat without rushing to get down.
Is being over two weeks she moved out, Cole never called even ones to know how she was doing or where she was.
She thought of moving back in after a week but her sister Susan refused her from going.

After two weeks she knew it was time to return. She was calm, she has miss her husband and her home.
She was also hoping that Cole had also missed her and was afraid which was why he never called.

She bought some food items and other things for the house.
Susan was against her coming back, she asked her to wait until Cole comes for her but she couldn’t wait anymore.
She wants to know how her husband was doing and hoping that Marina has not done any thing bad to him.

Florence said a few prayer. Telling God she doesn’t want any drama or violence. She just wants to return home in peace and want things to work out between her and her husband.
She can’t allow another woman take over her home just because she was pregnant for him.

Florence, picked up her bags including the grocery she bought before going inside.
She saw madam Gold, Marina and Cole sitting in a round table.
They were laughing and pretending like she was invisible.
She greeted madam Gold but got no reply back.
Cole was inwardly happy to see her and she looks vulnerable.
“Atleast she will get to tidy up the messed up kitchen”
He thought within himself.

Florence walks straight to the kitchen and dropped the food items on a table.
She frowned at the way the kitchen was scattered and dirty.
Without going to change over her dress, she began to sweep, clean and tidy up the kitchen.
After every where was spotless again, she started cooking.
She prepared rice and chicken stew just the way her husband likes it.
After she was done cooking and cleaning she decided to go into the room to change up and drop her bag.
Getting to the room, she couldn’t find any of her things.
None of her wears or other personal stuff was seen in the master bedroom she shares with Cole.
Instead Marina’s things occupied everywhere, her cloths and undies was littered everywhere in the room.

Florence stormed out. She walked straight to Cole.

“Where are my things… where did you keep them…

Madam Gold interrupted.

“Florence, have you greeted me properly since you walked in here or have I become invisible? This is my son’s house remember that. Look, what you can’t do in years, another beautiful lady has done it just in months. You have been gone for weeks now, only for you to return today and start asking questions with a harsh voice. Whose your servant here? You are obviously not worthy to be Mrs Spence. You lack manners, I don’t know what my son sees in you before agreeing to marry you…

Florence tried not to reply her. Her focus was on Cole.
Who spoke without looking at her, his attention was on his phone.

“Your things has been moved to the guest room, check them out there.

Florence bite her lips as she tried to blink back tears.
Marina spoke by waving her ring finger to Florence face

“As you can see, I’m engaged to Cole and ones he finalise with the divorce plan, your name and everything about you will be erased from here. I’m the new Mrs Spence in view and that’s why I have moved to my rightful territory. No one chased you out of the house… you pursued yourself and expect your seat to continue waiting for you. Is not done that way. madam Gold is solidly behind my relationship with her son. I have every blessings I can ask of… stop the jealousy and bitterness towards me so that mother earth will smile on you. I’m the new boss around here, your place is in the second guest room. I’m not afraid of you anymore, if you do anything stupid, Cole will get you arrested.

Florence, without thinking picked up the bottle water on the table and empty it on Marina’s body.
Cole was shouting at Florence to stop but she pulled Marina by the hair and dragged her to the floor.
Cole slapped her, she took the coffee cup that still has a hot coffee which Cole was taking before she came.
She threw the cup with the coffee at him.
The content poured all over him, the coffee cup hit him hard on one side of his eyes and shattered into pieces.

She thought of going over to the kitchen and carrying the pot of hot food to empty on Cole’s body but she waved it off.

One side of Cole’s eyes was swollen as he went over Marina trying to help her stand.
Madam Gold was screaming on top of her voice.
Florence went to her and said.

“What is stopping me from stranggling you right now is just one thing… just a single thing but stop pushing your lucks madam Gold. Put your son and his LovePeddler on a leash because I have thrown caution to the wind, I will do so much harm to any of them that dares me.

She turned to Cole and said,
” I’m still very much around, so go get the police to arrest me because I’m not done with all of you.

She walked back to the room and began throwing off Marina’s stuffs away.
After sometime, she stopped.
“This is waste of energy does not worth it”

Florence said within herself.

Florence picked up her bag, she went into the guest room and saw the way her cloths, bags and shoes were thrown to every corner of the room.
She began to pack them up.

After arranging and packing some of her things, she carried it to her car boot.

If she stays one more night in this house somebody may die.. either she or one of them out there.
After picking the necessary things, she went to Cole who has not stop ranting.

“Leave and don’t ever come back. I will arrest you for assault and destroy of property. You are crazy and I don’t want to have anything with you again. I will deliver the divorce letter to you whenever is ready. I cease to be acknowledge with a mad woman like you and if anything happens to my wife to be or my baby I will search you out and end your life. Cole said.

Florence looked at him and smile.

“Empty threats doesn’t scare me. I really can’t fathom my reasons for even coming back. Maybe because I was worried… bout you. Maybe because I miss my home of five years. Maybe because I was just stupid. Before stepping in, I prayed to God to help me keep my emotions in check and never to let my anger get the best of me. Just imagining that I used to love a man like you makes me want to poke. I will be waiting for the divorce papers Coleman. Whenever is ready, I will be ready with my pen to sign. I promise you that you will regret this, you will regret everything you made me go through. God will avenge me. Oh, just mark my word, you will regret everything you did to me Coleman Spence.

Florence walked out, she got into her car and drove off.
She was still driving when it occurred to her that she was leaving all the food she made behind.
She quickly reversed, drove back to the house, parked outside the gate, their security man opened the gate and she walked in.

When she opened the door, they were shocked to see her.

The dirts and the effect of their previous fight was still on the ground.
They were busy eating, filling their mouth with food and fried chicken.
Cole was using ice to suppress the swollen on his face.

They gasped out at her as she stepped in.

Florence walked to the kitchen and saw that half of the food she made was gone.
She knew then that it must be what they were enjoying on the dining.
Florence took a flasks and poured in the remaining food. Each in different food flask.

She spread the remaining crumbs all over the kitchen.
Emptied the kitchen waste bucket on the kitchen floor.
She made sure the kitchen was filled with dirts, far more than she met it earlier before walking away with the food flask and a nylon bag.
She carried her flask, went straight to the table were Colman with his mother and Marina were dining.

She surprisingly began to pack all the food into a nylon bag.
She carried away the food plate in front of each person.
She used spoon to remove all the grain of rice and pieces of chicken into the nylon. She deliberately poured water on the table and made sure she pushed a glass plate on the ground which shattered into pieces.

They all watched her, dumb founded as she left the remaining empty plate for them, took the whole food outside.

Cole shakes his head sadly.
Florence embarrassed all of them on the table.
Cole never knew Florence was this wicked and crazy.

Florence, walked to the security man, she gave him the flasks of food.
The man was very grateful as he thanked her.
Florence dropped the one in the nylon and asked him to throw it into the trash can.
The security nodded happily as Florence washed her hand from the outside tap.
She got into her car and drove off.

She didn’t go over to Susan’s place. She stayed in a hotel instead for three days.

On the third day, she decided to chat Maxwell up.
He responded immediately.

They continued chatting and talking for days.

Max later invited her out for a normal date in an open field, one of her favorite place where he usually take her to when they were still dating.

Florence was ready to breath in fresh air again.
She accepted the invite and got ready for the main day when she will get to meet Max after years of not seeing each other.

 

 tbc

You are doing a good job here Mr or madam dalaplace I no even know self but more ink to your pen and I just dey wait patiently for the next update

BEING MRS SPENCE
Episode 9
By AMAH’S HEART.

 

 

“Do you remember this place? Maxwell asked her.

“Yes, like yesterday…I remember everything. Memories of here is still fresh…

“Same with me. You made me fall in love with this place. Is filled with nature… everything about it speaks of God’s awesome creation. I came here twice before finally traveling to Germany and only ones since I returned back. Anytime I thinks of this place I think of you.

Florence smiled, she breathed deeply.
“Indeed, it speaks of God’s glorious artistical work. Faraway from the crowd, echos and noise of the world. I find a perfect peace…real peace whenever I’m here. Although things has really changed around here, a little bit added humans coming and going but despite all that it still holds it’s nature tight.

Florence said gazing around the field.

Maxwell nodded as he looked at her and quickly looked away.
Florence have not changed much. Even with the years that went by and being a married woman she was still looking radiant except for a dark circle beneath her eyes. Which clearly shows she has not been sleeping well and obviously stressed out. She tried to used a little makeup to cover it but a closer look at her will reveal it all.

He was surprised when she chat him


up after warning him to stay off few months ago because she was happily married.
He thought she will turn down the invite but she surprisingly agreed to hang out with him here.
Seeing her again brings back lots of memories.
She was around twenty five years when she met her Coleman and immediately ended their over two years relationship.
Her reasons for breaking up appears genuine but he wish she never left.
He was a traveler and was mostly on a journey but he tries as much as possible to explain the nature of his job to her understanding.
Florence love for him started growing cold when he traveled to Uganda for research.
He was too busy and couldn’t speak with her for two months.
That period he lost his phone and has to also get a new phone which was another reason why their communication was breeched.
Florence called almost everyday, send messages without reply.
When he traveled back he was afraid that his girlfriend was probably fed up but she listened to his explanation as he also promise to get better.
But it was never better, he traveled again to Madagascar, stayed for just five months.
The communication went cold, things weren’t as they used to be.
When he retuned Florence told him that she was moving on, she was in love with another and she can no longer cope with the cold communication and constant travels.
He knew her mind was made up.
The fault was from


him. Florence has been patient enough but he only wish she could have exercise more patient with him to round up with all the projects he was running around for.
Florence ended things and moved on with a guy she called Coleman.
She was really in love with this new guy and didn’t hide it.
When she announced that she was getting married.
It was a painful news.
He has wished to make Florence his bride some day.
He has imagined how the future will be like having a kind, God fearing beautiful Florence by him side.
He congratulated her and wished her the best.
She was twenty six years when she moved on and later got married to the man she truly loved.
He also moved on, traveled to Germany stayed there for years. Had a daughter with a German lady. He planned to get married to the lady but it didn’t work out.
He later retuned home.
He tried not to pry Florence, to know how many kids she has with her husband and why she suddenly was giving him audience.

Deep down he knew all is not well with her and only hope she will open up whenever she wants to.
But if she chose not to tell him anything then is fine.
They will just enjoy the breeze, the serenity of the field and each others presence.

They sat on a long bench, Maxwell turned and looked at her. Florence was staring at a couple sitting on a distance bench on the far left side.
Maxwell followed her gaze and saw what she was watching keenly.
The lady was relaxing on the man’s arm, as he cuddle her up.
He said something and she chuckled, looked up at him and kissed him fully on the mouth.

The distance couple were having a beautiful uninterrupted moment.

Maxwell try to say something to draw Florence back to reality.
She can’t stop watching the couple

He cleared his voice loudly but Florence didn’t flinch.



“Uhmm…so Flox.. your husband, has he ever brought you down here before, maybe alone or with the kids?

She didn’t reply immediately, she remained silent.
Maxwell tapped her shoulder a little.
She turned and looked up at him.
As Maxwell tries to repeat what he said, Florence interrupted.

“I heard you clearly the first time Max. My silence only means that I don’t want to talk about my private or family life. I just want to enjoy the serenity of this place.

“I’m sorry… sorry for bringing it up. Maxwell apologiezed.

Maxwell and Florence sat for sometime before deciding to take a walk around.
Florence deliberately walked pass the couple she was staring at before.
They were married to each other as their wedding band reveals it.
Florence thought of Cole but quickly waves it off.

“The beauty of this place is undiluted. It makes us appreciate nature more. I think why people haven’t filled up here is might be because of the entry fee attached. It’s high price is very suitable and kept remnants away.

Maxwell said as he walks around with Florence.
Florence nodded in agreement.
Maxwell continued.

“…I remember one of our time out here, I sat watching you move to the lake side. You spread out your hand, with your face raised to the sky and eyes shut. The sun kissing your face brightened up your beauty and you appeared like an angelic being. I couldn’t get enough of such precious moments. It was a rare sight stored in my memory. Flox, If I ever forget everything about you which is impossible though, I will never forget that picture you created on my mind eight years ago. I have a similar oil painting hanging in my sitting room…

“Oh really. Wooow! You personally asked an artist to paint it…?

Florence exclaimed smiling.

“No, I was driving and sighted it an art gallery. It wasn’t exactly but almost. It still speaks of the true beauty of nature. I asked of the price, expensive but it was worth every dime. I bought it with extra two but that particular one stood out as my best.

Florence looked up at him and smile.

“We had similar passion for nature before we separated, I got married and some things didn’t appeal to my senses anymore. Well, so I thought until this moment. Probably because the man I married wasn’t a nature freak like I used to be. I miss a whole lot of things in my five years of marriage but I blame no one for that. Marriage has always comes with different baggage… you know…

She swallowed hard before breathing in deeply.

“…I will love to see the painting but I don’t know how possible that…

She paused, folded her hand in akimbo style.
Max saw the sadness in her eyes. He wish he can comfort her and take away whatever that was troubling her.

“Do you want to come around to my place some time? Please let me know whatever you decide and it will be a honor having you under my roof again.

Florence nodded, she told him probably next weekend but she will let him know if she can make it or not.

They become quiet, Maxwell picked up a peddle, he began throwing it towards the water side.

“Do you remember one comedy show we attended one evening, it was during an Easter period? Max asked her

Florence nodded without looking at him. Maxwell continued

“… there will be a live show next weekend. If you are interested, I can book down our tickets ahead of time…

Florence was quiet. Maxwell continued

“…is okay if you don’t feel like it. Or you can come with your loved ones too. I will pay for all the tickets just let me know ahead of time. Is that okay by you, do you want to think about it or you aren’t interested?



“I dunno yet. I can’t really tell.. give me from now till morrow… let me check my schedule.
Florence replied.



“Alright then. There’s no problem. By the way… how’s your elder sister Susu? She nicked named me journey walker because of the way I’m always on the road and air travelling. I remember she saying if we happen to get married, you will become Mrs Walker or Mrs journey…

Florence started laughing, Maxwell joined her.

“I Remember that too. She will always ask me, “Flo, is Mr Walker back or he’s still journeying” I will tell her that you were still journeying. My sister can be super funny… she’s doing great by the way. Mother of two boys, if I include her husband then it will three boys. She usually say “my boys are out, my three boys are in the game room playing tennis or soccer…

Maxwell laughed out.
He was happy to watch Florence laughing.

They stayed talking about many other things.
They later went to the cafeteria and ordered for food and drinks.
The day was getting dark.
After they were done, they stayed up talking some more before Maxwell said.

“I guess is time to head home. I don’t always feel comfortable with a lady driving late at night. If not that you came with your car, I would have love to take you home first..to make sure you are home safe.

“I don’t feel like going yet, I want to stay a little more before thinking of entering the road again.

Florence didn’t want to tell Maxwell that she was lodging in a hotel. Going back to her hotel room will be so lonely and quiet. She may start thinking of her present predicament of which she doesn’t want to. Staying out will take her mind away from certain things.

Maxwell did not want to argue with her but he wasn’t comfortable with the fact she wanted to stay out late when is already 9:40pm.
Her husband and probably kids maybe worried about her.
Driving alone, late at night is quiet dangerous for a vulnerable lady.

“…i feel like taking some liquor, i want to get intoxicated a little before leaving or better still take it along with me to my hote…to my house..

Maxwell knew she was about to say hotel but quickly change it.
He has many things running through his mind. He wondered if it was a mere slip of tongue or Florence was actually lodging in a hotel.
At same time he tried not to pry.

“, You can’t take a liquor tonight. you will be driving remember and is 10pm already. Maybe next time you can have enough of alcohol as you like but not tonight…. alright?

He gently took her hands into his, pat it gently and try to remind her that she is very important, not just to him but to many others who wouldn’t want to see any harm come to her.

Florence withdraw her hands from him.

She stood and told Max that she was going.
Maxwell walked her to the car and asked her to drive safe.
After she drove off, Maxwell retuned to his own car and drove away.

**************
Cole searched frantically, he opened several cupboard, bags, lockers, lifted the bed, on every corner and even on the roof.
He rushed down from the stairs to the gym house where Marina was doing a pregnant lady’s work out.

“Marina… Marina…

Cole was shouting her name as he rushed towards her.
Marina sat up, drank deeply from her filled smoothy juice. She looked unbothered as Cole approached her.

“I’m looking for my money, did you take it…or happens to see it?

Marina sighed before saying

“How much is even the money that is making you scream my name as if the entire house was on fire?

Cole mentioned and it was thousands of dollars which he kept away safe.

“How can you even accuse me of taking your money, how… just how Cole? Do I look like a thief to you. How can I go to your bag and take such a huge amount? What do you take me for. Is probably Florence that stole the money the last time she came. This accusations is a huge disrespect to me…

Cole stood not knowing what to do or say anymore.
Florence has been gone for over a week. All his five years of marriage to Florence he has never looked for anything, mostly cash.
Florence was careful, articulated, neat and many other great attributes that Marina lacks.
He could have agreed with Marina that Florence probably took the whole money due to the fight they had but after Florence was gone, he still saw the money on the second day.

Florence has never returned ever since, so how come the money went missing.

He frowned at the way Marina was already throwing tantrum.
She was mad at him for accusing her of stealing instead of Florence.

He has no choice than to quickly apologies.
And blames himself for the carelessness as he promised to go back to search again.
Marina sighed out her relief as she relaxed back and continue sipping her smoothy.

Cole sadly climbed up the stairs to the main house, he angrily punched the wall out of frustrations and held back his hand in pain.
He went to the master bedroom which he presently shares with Marina. The room was in a total mess.
He doesn’t even know where to start from in cleaning the room.
Marina’s stuffs were everywhere. He was tired.
Even though Marina has asked him not to employ a female help, she does not want any lady to start competing with her over her man and the house.
He has to look for somebody who will cook, wash and clean because he was tired of doing it and the mess kept increasing everyday.

He was fed up from cleaning the house every time while Marina goes on messing it up.

Cole sat hard on the bed, he held his head in his hand sadly.

BEING MRS SPENCE
Episode 10
By AMAH’S HEART.

 

 

“If you don’t do as I say then watch me dismiss her by myself….I warned you, this whole house will bear me witness that I warned you…

She turned and started walking away
He threw a fist to the air angrily.

He went after her, blocked her on the stairs, preventing her from walking pass him.

“Leave the road, I’m not in the mood for this your childish behavior…

She began to rant none stop.

“Marina, you are overreacting… what is your plan, what do you intend to do…?

Cole asked while still standing on her way.

“What you failed to do Cole. Before you employed that girl, I told you that I don’t need a female maid. You went ahead, disobeyed my orders, you didn’t even consider the fact that I am pregnant. I suffer several morning, afternoon and night sickness because of this your child I’m carrying. The only thing you could have done for me is to do all my bidding, but instead you did things that piss me off. I’m kicking her out. I almost two months of trying to exercise patient and wait until you do the needful but I’m done waiting…

“If you kick her out who will do the chores… because I will no longer do your dirty laundry,


cleaning, mobbing or even vacuuming. So, you better think it through before dismissing the only lady helping out here all because of your inferiority compl…
Marina interrupted by pushing him aside.

“Cole, did you just insulted me? You forgot that I’m carrying your child right? You should be very grateful and worship the ground I walks on for trying to make you feel like a man. Unlike your wife who all the five years of marriage to her never conceived even ones. Listen to me, is Florence you can push around and not me. If you gets me angry, you will never set your eyes on this child in my womb…

“You are damn ungrateful Marina. What exactly do you want again eeh? I did everything you asked of me. I engaged you, drove my wife out, shared the master bedroom with you, bought a car for you, pays monthly allowance, clean and wash for you. We have been feeding on fast food because you are too lazy to cook. You blames everything on the pregnancy and I never argued. Since you’re a carrying my child is only normal for me to pamper you. I got tired of seeing the dirts and mess in the house, I couldn’t stand it or do it anymore, I decided to employed a help… Lizbeth has been doing her work effortlessly, so well and yet you don’t want her. You want me to fire her for your selfish reasons and employe a man instead, because you don’t


want any Lady to drag me with you. You belittle me and subjected me to a mere items that have no say, like a piece of furniture. Lizbeth stays and if you kick her out, I won’t employ another help, you will have to do all the chores. Go ahead and try me. I’m sick and tired of all this your nonsense…
He walked away from her, Marina followed him, she continued ranting.

“You are just a coward Coleman. I’m not the type of Lady you should raise your voice at… remember I’m carrying your child and deserve a maximum respect, care and love. Take a long look at me, I’m not like your dullard of a wife that only woke up at the dying minutes. I’m always awake and watching you like a hawk. My type of person is rare…and you can’t easily get a beautiful smart lady like me…I can bet you to it..

Cole laughed sarcastically before turning to her.

“, The only thing you are good at is sex, sex and only sex. I sometimes gets scared of the baby you carried but you care less. Despite your pregnancy you are ready to give different style, even turn upside down just for sexual pleasure. I’m sick and tired of you already. Florence doesn’t have all the styles but she was never lazy, never disrespectful, never allow me to spend extravagantly. She was a better woman than you…i can also bet to that the reason why I’m not shutting your running mouth right now with a slap is because of the baby and another major reason is I don’t beat women…

“Cut the scrap off Cole… have you forgotten who you are talking to? You dares not lay a finger on me. You can only deceive women like Florence not me. If she was all this you mentioned why did you drove her out, got me pregnant, engaged me, allowed me move into your matrimonial master bedroom and spending so much on me and not her…? Let me guess because you are so confused and do not know what you truly want… another thing is that she can’t get pregnant and I beat her to it. Oh wait, I’m really good at the bedroom job, my great skills and performance even in pregnancy shock you right? Hahahaha… atleast I’m good at something which is why you can’t let go. I’m here to stay Cole. I haven’t even started and you are already complaining. I’m not your maid…so if you are expecting me to do the dishes, cook and clean then you will grow real old while waiting. I will let Lizbeth stay but if I catch you sneaking around her like a dog, you will wish you never met someone like me. Rubbish…

She walked away, leaving Cole speechless.

***********
Florence drove in from work. She sat in her car for sometimes, her head was relaxed on the car seat.

It was a hectic day at work, she was grateful that weekend is around the corner.
After tomorrow’s work, which is Friday she will have enough time to rest.

She needs to go in, make dinner and get ready for tomorrow.
Her manager has commended her at work. Her recent performance at work is recommendable which made her manager to give her a thumb up and asked her to keep up with the great performance.
She wants to continue that way without any further bad record.
The period she moved out from her home and marriage was the toughest time of her life.
Moving into a hotel and trying to live everyday at a time wasn’t easy.
She was given two weeks of suspension at work due to errors and several complains.

She used that period to look for a mini apartment in an estate not too far from the company she works with.
Florence paid up but didn’t have enough money to furnish it.

Staying in the hotel for almost three weeks and spent so much in paying for her room, for feeding, fueling and maintaining her car and other necessary expenses almost crippled her bank account in.
She was running low on cash after renting the apartment.
Florence spent a weekend with Susan and her boys.
Susan gave her some money which she added to buy things in her new apartment.
Susan and her husband Jimmy asked her to stay but Florence didn’t want to become a burden for them.

This was the third month of moving out of her matrimonial home.
Is been rough and tough. She was gradually coming in terms with the fact that her husband belongs to another woman carrying his child.
She has not been able remove her wedding ring from her finger.
She made attempt to do so many times but broke down each time.

Maxwell tries to respect her every decision. Even when she told him to stop calling or texting her, she needed to focus more on God and herself.
Maxwell did as she asked.
He stayed away for a month but as the second month came, Florence called and they resumed talking and chatting.
She promised to tell him everything she was going through.

They met only twice, one was the first outing they did to the field for the first time.
They second time was going with him to the comedy night. She drove straight to her hotel after the show.

The rest of the talk was on phone.

It was until the middle of the second month, they got to see again.
They went to their hangout field.
Florence opened up to him.
She poured out everything she has bottled in.
It feels like a relief as she talks to somebody like Maxwell who won’t judge her or throw sheds at Cole.
He was a great listener and allowed her pour out her soul without interruption.. Florence has began

“I still wonder why Cole will do this to me? What did I ever do wrong? I was a good wife, I tried to be at my best. Supporting him, loving him, pleasing him even when it hurts…all of this I did and many more without complaining and yet this is what I got in return. Nothing to boost off, no child to call mine. Cole told me he doesn’t want me getting pregnant because he wasn’t ready for such responsibility or the mess that comes with it. He wasn’t much of a children person. I agreed despite how much his decision hurts me but I have no choice than to agree for peace to reign… hoping that someday he will be ready like he said and we will have kids. Susan talked me into trying to see if I can conceive maybe with pregnancy Cole will throw off his strong will of not wanting children, unknown to me he has already gotten another Lady pregnant. I was thinking that Cole had issue in getting a woman pregnant just as the doctor had mentioned. The doc has confirmed me alright and ready to take in but my husband needed to go through some checking and medication so that we can both be on same lane…but Cole refused. He said he was very fertile and active, maybe I’m the one with the problem. He had a great prove to show for it, Marina was the prove. Cole broke me, he cut me deeply and left me with a deep hidden scar. Getting another woman pregnant wasn’t enough, bringing the lady home, engaging her, moved her to the bedroom we both shared. Cole had the gut to move my own things to the guest room and scattered my stuffs everywhere in that room. His mother supports his decision. My husband threatened to kill me because of another woman. He told me he was done with the marriage and will be serving me a divorce letter still because of another woman. I’m healing gradually but no day pass by without thinking of everything I passed through in the hand of Cole and how it still hurts…

Florence wiped a tear, she tried not to break down in front of Max.
Maxwell can see her struggling to hold back tears and emotions.

“Let it out. If you feel like crying, is alright Flox. If I appear like Cole in your eyes and you feel like striking me. Do so… because I will never judge you. I deeply understand your pain. You are a strong lady, I have Known you to be unbending, you will be alright Flox because all of this will still pass and your sanity will be fully restored with happiness that can only come from God. I’m sorry for everything you have to go through…so sorry Flox…

Florence went into his arm and released the heavy tears she held back.
Maxwell was careful as he stroke her shoulder gently.



She told him of her new apartment after moving out of the hotel due to the expenses.
They talked until it was 10pm before Maxwell walked Florence to her car, bid her goodnight, “drive carefully Flox”

He stood as she speed off.
Max returned to his own car.
He didn’t drive off immediately, he went through everything Florence told him and all that she has gone through.

He folded his fist and hit it on the steering wheel.

He probably played a part in driving Florence into the arm of a man like Cole. Men who doesn’t value what they have.
Florence was kind, she was loving and God fearing. She loves with everything in her and holds nothing back.

She was patient with him for almost three years of their dating. Despite how he was mostly on the road, Florence understand him and was ready to make it work.
she waited until she couldn’t anymore.
She fell deeply in love with Coleman, he was always present whenever she needed some one.
Florence said many amazing things about him and he was happy that she will be in a safe hand with a responsible man who also loved her.

Seeing how broken, sad and hurt the same man left her made him want to punch him real hard.

Maxwell later drove her.
Despite how Florence confided in him, he tries as much as possible to avoid meddling in her personal life.
He wanted to remain a friend she can always lend her shoulder on and that was what Florence wanted too.

She focused more on her job and getting more recommendation as days goes on.
Florence was finally letting go little by little.

She was home that Thursday from work, while getting ready for the next day her phone rang.

It was Cole. He was calling for the first time in three months.

“Hel…ellooo…

Florence was quiet, she pretend like she doesn’t know him.
“Who’s this?

Cole became speechless at first.
“Don’t you have my number or know my voice again…?

“I will end this call if you don’t introduced yourself immediately… Florence said.

“So you deleted my number and can’t recognize my voice.. Cole replied.

Florence ended the call.
Cole called like twice before she picked up.

“Florence please don’t end the call, is me… Cole. Your husband…” Cole added.

“Which husband are you referring to? Because I don’t have a husband Mr Cole. How’s your new wife and the baby and what do you want…is the divorce papers ready. My lawyer will pick it up, just let me know when…

Cole interrupted.
“Florence, I didn’t call for that, I only called to…to check up on you…

“Is it to Check if I’m dead or alive? Don’t call this line next time Colman Spence. If the divorce papers are ready text it to me and I will send my lawyer to you…” Florence added

Florence can hear Marina in the background shouting over something he did.
“… I just got this month alert Cole and is not complete, what happened to the rest of the money. I want my complete allowance or…”
Florence heard Marina cursing him.

“Can’t you see that I’m on call…what the hell is wrong with you…? Cole said

He suddenly covered the mouth piece so that Florence won’t hear the rest of the banter. He later returned to the call.
Maybe he didn’t want Marina to know who he was talking to, he suddenly started talking very quiet

“Hello…hello.

Florence quietly ended the call before switching off her phone.

BEING MRS SPENCE.
Episode 11
By AMAH’S HEART.

 

 

They walked side by side in silence as they entered the house.
She looked around In total wonder.

“You live here alone?
She exclaimed again

“Yeah, with my domestic staffs. you don’t like it? I completed the building two years ago…

She slapped his arm playfully.
“Ofcourse I love it. Looking at the fine structure both from outside and inside is a wow. The engraving on the walls, the art works, the mini grass field and pool, the breath of nature is all I see here. Everything smells and looks outstanding and creative Max… wow. You did a great job… your house is fabulous, is breath taking Maxwell Luke..

Maxwell smiled, expressing a well set dentals as Florence called his full name.
“Thanks Flox. You made me to fall in love with nature back when we started dating. Even after we ended things my love for creativity didn’t stop. Come with me I want to show you many more.

Florence followed him behind.

She was happy with everything that greeted her eyes. Neat and perfectly in order.

They have been hanging out, meeting at their usual field, going to movies, comedy shows and other fun place mostly on weekends.
Maxwell has invited her over to his place many times but she always turned it down


or give excuse.
She finally made up her mind to honor his invitation.
Maxwell asked her not to bother driving, he was going to come and pick her up.
She sent him address of her place and he came earlier than she thought.
He has to wait for her to get ready before they left together.

He came with another car, a black SUV not his usual Prado Jeep.

It was more of a quiet drive, Maxwell was the only one doing most of the talking and getting less reply and more nod from Florence.

It was when they drove into the gate after the security opened up did Florence exclaimed loudly.

“I love this Max…

After looking around the compound she throws her hand in the air happily.

“I’m glad you like it. Come let me show you the rest of the property…
Maxwell replied while laughing.

Florence followed him on a tour as he showed her every part of the building.
Florence later settled down.

“I’m a great chef too aside my road Job which has finally come to an end. I learnt different dishes in some of the country I visited. Maybe I will get to show you my cooking skills some day…. what do you think.

“Great… that will be nice Max. I look forward to it.

Maxwell smile before calling on his domestic staffs. He introduced them to Florence.
The cook, the housekeeper, laundry man, the other workers within the compound like the gardner, the two security and pool man too.
They greeted Florence kindly before


returning back to their duties.
In no time the cook announced that the food was ready and already set out in the dinning.
Maxwell led Florence to the dining section. everything about the house and it’s setting was absolutely beautiful which includes the dining setting.
The food taste great also.
After dining with Maxwell, he took her to his private sitting room filled with beautiful canvases hanging on the wall.
They went sipping home made Chapman and talking generally.

“…This is the result of all my tour, all my hard work, journeying none stop and putting my life and all I got at risk. I completed my second company building four years ago before building this house. It was while I was pursuing a better Life that nature took you away from me… making you fall in love with Coleman. The biggest kick on my butt was loosing you Flox but I can’t fight nature or God who knows better than we do. There must be a reason for everything, I only wish you exercised more patient with me…

Florence face suddenly changed into a frown.

“Did you just mention patience? I could have waited patiently for you to tour the entire earth…is that what you meant? You put our love and relationship at stake…if it was important to you then we wouldn’t be having this conversation. I used almost three years of my life exercising patient, hoping things will be alright and back to how we started before you got your project testing and traveling job. Sometimes you will be gone for months with no communication. I tried Maxwell to continue rekindling our relationship so that it doesn’t loose it’s flavor. It feels like I’m the only one who values the relationship. I kept calling, kept sending messages with no reply, I kept hoping and praying that things will get better but it gets worst instead. I talked to you severally about it and you promised to Change but never did. Instead you became worst. What are you trying to tell me now… your love for me went cold. If you happen to pick my calls you will end up dismissing me with “I’m busy” sometimes you don’t even take my calls at all. Our love went cold before I met Coleman…

Maxwell interrupted with an apology.
“I’m sorry.. really sorry Flox. I played a huge part in everything that happened to us. I put my job ahead of our love. I couldn’t manage the two at the same time so I concentrated on the job instead. Worst mistake is not making effort to manage my relationship and my job and giving you a beautiful world like you deserved. Standing by me all those years was everything I needed. Knowing there’s a beautiful soul who believes in me makes me want to work more hard and repay you greatly for your kindness and patient. But I got distracted with my demanding job and loosed you to another. I’m sorry Flox for everything you went through because of my negligence. My love for never went cold. I only couldn’t shuffle my love life and job well. I…I…

He moved closer to her, took her hands into his, Florence didn’t pulled off as usual.
He spoke kindly to her, she listened to every of his words.
She looked from his eyes to his mouth. Maxwell was a nice fine man.
Maxwell was looking straight into her eyes as he spoke calmly.

Florence looked down on her wedding ring which she has not been able to removed despite is over seven months already, almost eight months she left her matrimonial home.
Cole has tried reaching her through different means, he even came to her office twice but she threaten to get him arrested if he continues stalking her for unserious reasons
His excuse was that he needed to get away from Marina for sometime.
Cole saw her as his ways escaping his shrewd mistress.
He imagined finding peace with her from his troubled mistress after which he will return back to her.

He wasn’t ready to do the right thing and bring his wife back home for better this time.

His major concerns remains Marina and the baby and how much he was spending and was almost going bankrupt because of Marina.
Marina was driving him insane and the only solution is to look for his wife and stay with her for sometime before returning back home to Marina
Florence has warned him and threaten arresting him with police that was two months ago.
Florence wish he has realize his mistake and ready to start a new leaf
She miss him and the home she was very used to.
Cole wasn’t ready to think right and see her real value.
She refused to throw herself into his arms because of the kind of love she had for him.
She won’t be his substitute or come second place in his life.

Inwardly she was hoping her marriage will be restored for the better but she won’t trade her life or happiness for it again.

“… Flox… Flox…
Maxwell tapped her gently. She looked up at him



“… you were carried away. Are you thinking about Cole or there is something bothering you. If you wish to share, I will be here to listen..

“I’m alright Max. Cole remains my husband…we aren’t divorced yet. Anyway, Nothing is bothering me…

She added as she checked the time. It was almost 8pm.
Maxwell nooded, stood and left her alone.

He stood by the window close to Florence.

“Is seven months already that you left him or he chased you out because of his pregnant side chic whom he later engaged. I understand how difficult it might be moving out and trying to move on but isn’t it time to start thinking about yourself, your happiness and peace of mind. I don’t want to discourage you from believing or hoping to get back to your husband but don’t loose yourself doing that. I want to see you happy Flox… you deserve to be happy. You are a good person and all this shouldn’t be happening to you. But I won’t thwart your faith, keep holding onto the tiniest of hope. Nature will smile back at you. No sparrow falls to the earth without the knowledge of God.”

Florence didn’t say anything. She checked the time again.
Maxwell felt bad, is obvious Florence love for Cole is far deeper than he can explain. She wants to let go and fully move on but her hopes that Cole will come back to his senses and come begging was still holding her back.

“I can see your continues checking of time, I guess is time for me to go drop you off…?

Florence blinked several. The way Max sounds makes her wonder if he wants to quickly get rid of her.
He was trying to hide under the pretense of a curved smile but she knew him enough and knows he wasn’t happy.

Her feelings for him was coming back gradually, over some months now which she tried not to nuture.
Max is a nice guy, more loving, caring and also God fearing than Cole but she can’t run straight to his heart when she was still married to Cole though separated. She tried not to encourage him or her feelings.
Is better they remain cool to avoid unnecessary feeling and drama.

Florence stood, she tried to cheer him up. She thanked him for the tour, the food and the drink.
She promised to come again and the statement made Maxwell happy as they both left.
Florence talked about one of the beautiful breath taking paintings she saw in his house.

Maxwell removed it from his wall and gave it to her. It was worth thousands of dollar. She declined the gift but he insisted.

***********
Cole was talking with his mother. He paid her a visit.

“I’m reducing in finance, in mental health and peace of mind every day Mom, Marina drives me insane every freaking day. I don’t know anymore…

Madam Gold interrupted.
“Isn’t she supposed to be due two months ago… Why is she still pregnant?

“She said her doctor warned her not to do anything yet concerning the passed due date. She said but if after this month and she didn’t experience labour then they will induced her. The funny part is she remain very active, mostly in bed. She is a Tigris during sex. I could have said she is one hell of a strong pregnant Lady but Marina is never strong in doing any chores in the house except during sex. I’m tired of the sex romp Mom, but she said I have to continue doing it to create a better hole for the baby to come out. There’s a way she said it…i have forgotten. My whole savings and almost all I got is going into Marina….

Cole clap his both hands together frustrated.
“, Listen Coleman, what if Florence casted a spell on Marina and said she won’t give birth safely and also want to frustrates you…?

“The Florence I know will never do such. She is too soft and loves me too. Did you know that she is still wearing her wedding ring? She wants me to come for her and I can bet you on that. Whenever I’m ready to take her back I will apply the necessary steps but I need to do something concerning Marina. If Florence was around i won’t be spending so much money paying a help to tidy the house or make the meal. Let me focus on Marina because of my baby…I can’t wait to meet him. According to Marina is gonna be a boy. I will teach him everything he needs to know bout women…. Women are very dangerous species which includes his mother except you Mom…

Madam Gold drank deeply from her cup of red wine.
“Don’t count on all the money that you have spent so far. Your unborn son is the most important. I’m looking forward to meeting my grandson too. Florence maybe down to earth and all but that’s not what I’m after. Marina gave us what we wants which is a child. After giving birth to this one, still get her pregnant again maybe after two or three babies you can start thinking of bringing Florence back. Florence is just good for cleaning and making home. We need more than that. Her love for you like you mentioned will keep her waiting untill you are ready to bring her home. Being Mrs Spence is mostly what she’s after and I guess that’s why she can’t change the name or remove the ring.

Cole held his drink without lifting it to his mouth.
“I’m running low on Cash. Marina told me she needs money to buy more baby stuffs, to pay for the inducement, to pay for some hospital emergency as her doctor suggested. She mentioned other hospital bills. After calculating the whole money she mentioned it was more than a million. I don’t have such amount now which is why I came Mom

“I will give you some money Coleman but is mainly because of my grandson I’m doing it. you have to look for a way to curtail your financial burden, I can’t help you always…

********
Back home Marina was pacing up and down on phone.

“Avid…Avid…what is wrong with you? This is not the exact size I needed, is very loose. I have been trying to manage it pending on the time I finalize my plan but is getting worst. Cole is not around, I can drive down to pick up another one from your end. Did you know most times if I’m making love with Cole I have to hold onto it with one hand so that it does not pull out and exposed me. Please, check a perfect size before sending…I pay you enough for this things I shouldn’t be complaining. I did not complain with the other fake pregnant bump until this last one that is giving me issue. If this whole thing wasn’t worth it I won’t be here wasting my time with an annoying man like Cole. I’m not after being Mrs Spence, money is my driving force and a nice roof over my head with a good ride. If you know the amount of money I collects from Cole you wouldn’t want to give me something that will remove food from my mouth. Please get back to me quick. I want by next week, I will visit Rajan for a fake caesarean section which the baby won’t make it. It will look like the baby didn’t survive and I will make another set of money from that and cut your share out for you. I will be driving down to meet you so that we can get a perfect pregnant bump size for me…

She continued her call for another five minutes.
After the call ended she, took the fake pregnant bump from the bed and wore, she tightened it up to make it appear real but it was a bit loose for her.
Marina sighed angrily, she got dressed took her car key and left.

BEING MRS SPENCE
Episode 12.
By AMAH’S HEART.

 

 

Cole couldn’t sit still, he stood and began to pace up and down.
He punched the wall severally and despite the pain, he was too hurt to feel it.
He kicked the table, the glass cups on the table shattered into pieces.
Madam Gold was seated too, she crossed her legs on a stool and continue wiggling her toes.
She moved her mouth sadly, clapped her hands together.

Marina sat on the chair crying, she was crying heavily.
Lizbeth, the help in the house was trying to console her but Marina loud cry could be heard even in the street. She refused to be consoled.

“Leave me let me die…I want to die with my baby. After everything I suffered, everything I went through because of that pregnancy. After all the insult I collected I’m left without a child. No… this can’t be happening…it can’t. Where did I go wrong, how could this happen to us. I know how much everyone looked forward to his arrival. Even his father and grandmother were fully ready to meet the baby…but I was greeted with disappointment. The doctor said he couldn’t make it and the hospital quickly buried him. I’m lost of words…how do I start again. This life is not fair…

She stylishly


looked at madam Gold who continued wiggling her toe while Cole kept pacing up and down like a crazy person.
She increased her cry and even added screamed to it.
Madam Gold spoke.

“Let’s all calm down please, Marina dear, stop hitting yourself hard…is not your fault. You and Coleman will have another baby… this is not the end of the world. Another child will be born. For the fact that you got pregnant for my son, carried the pregnancy full term and even more passed the supposed delivery date, you were able to put to birth, don’t cry because you will conceive again. you may even have twins the second time. Coleman, my dear son calm down. I know it hurt because of your time, finance and whole effort you put into making sure your son is born healthy. I totally understand your pain… I’m also in pain like everyone of you. It hurt because I looked forward to welcoming my grandson too. Let’s try and move pass this, give yourselves time… maybe a month or two before trying for another baby. This time around we will be more careful than ever…

Marina smiled inwardly.
She turned to Madam Gold and said while still sobbing.

“Thank you madam Gold for your encouragement. I feel strengthened already. It really hurt, my heart is shattered in pieces. After carrying pregnancy for almost a year and it ended in premium tears…I don’t know how to cry. I’m broken.. really. Your kind words restrengthened me again. I


will try and hope for the better days and…
“After draining me of almost everything I had with the pregnancy…” Cole interrupted her.

“….How will I get the money to foot the bills in your second pregnancy. well, if I happen to take it as an option, how do i handle your extravagant lifestyle? Your first pregnancy left me almost broke Marina, how will the second one look like…as much as I want to try again, I want all the sweat I poured into you to pay off…by giving me a child but I don’t have such money like the first one….I don’t.

Marina sat properly on a chair to face Cole.
“Carrying a pregnancy is not as easy as it appears Cole. I’m sorry that things turned out this way, is never my making and you are not the only one hurting here… I’m deeply hurt too. But I’m willing to give nature another chance…I really do want to give you a child Cole, I’m ready to cut down my cost…yes. I’m a very loving and considerate person. I will make sure you don’t spend like the first…I promise. But, you should be aware that I’m not a baby making factory. If we’re lucky I will conceive early but if we’re not lucky it will come at a later end but you have to be patient Cole…

Madam Gold cleared her voice and said.
“What if all of this that happened is caused by Florence? I threw in the suggestion the last time but Coleman said is not possible. Looking at it all over again, I think Florence may have a hand in it. She may be the one behind all of this misfortune. Coleman I think you should properly divorce her, we don’t need her. She can’t get pregnant, she can’t even satisfy you in bed, give you different sex styles like Marina does. Is only to cook and clean that she is good at, nothing else. Did you remember the way she angrily came back to pack all her food, including the one we were eating.. she carried it all away. She disrespected me and embarrassed us all with food. Florence is capable of anything, I wonder why you underated her…thinking she can’t hurt a fly. I madam Gold knows what a person is capable off when I set my eyes on them. Florence is a scorpion, she will stunk you and pretend like she did nothing. if Marina becomes pregnant again, keep it away from the public hearing… Florence must not know about it.

Marina almost laughed out, she finally got hold of somebody to channels the blame, all thanks to madam Gold for mentioning Florence.



“You are very right madam Gold. Florence must be behind all of this. She probably went diabolic just to hurt us…and look, she finally succeeded. All this ladies with innocent face and attitude are filled with evil. I think Cole should complete the divorce plan. I wonder what is still keeping him, maybe he’s waiting for Florence to kill one of us before he do something. I will be her major target because she feels like I took her husband away from her. She succeeded in making me and Cole childless… this is not fair.

Cole began to see reasons with everything that his mother and fiancee was saying.

************

Florence left the office and was walking towards her car after the close of work when somebody accosted her from behind.
She turned and saw Cole.
Florence was a bit happy to see him, she thought within her that Cole has finally realized his mistake and has come to plead for her return. She won’t make it easy for him, she will have to be certain that Cole has actually repented for good.

“What are you doing here Cole…I thought I warned you to stay away from me?

After saying that she waited for his reply, hoping to hear a sincere apology this time.

“I’m here to warn you Florence, a serious warning you have to take very serious…

Florence was shocked. She wondered what he was talking about.

“What exactly are you talking about…
She asked him surprised

“You are pretending like you don’t know what I’m talking about right? Okay let me remind you that your evil plan and act towards me and Marina won’t work again… you succeeded the first time because we didn’t know but not again. I never knew that you are this evil…if not for my mother that opened my eyes to your prowess. Florence, so with all your churchy and nice attitude you are a witch… you are devil. But be warned, if anything happens to either me, Marina, my Mom or my baby again I will come for you. This is no threat…I will do as I say and even more.

He turned and started walking away, Florence’s phone was ringing continuesly but she didn’t bother to check the caller.

She stood for sometime and was about to turn and walk to her car which was few feets away when Cole suddenly turned back.



“….wait…wait. another thing I forgot to add is that I will be finalizing the divorce plans by month end. From the begining of next month you will hear from me concerning that. We will meet in Court for proper signing and other documentation. I don’t want to ever have anything to do with you. You’re nothing but a curse to me. after the divorce I will finally be free to marry Marina. What you have not been able to do in years Marina has done within a short period. Aside loosing our baby to your crafty art Marina gives it to me back to back in the bedroom. She knows all the styles, both the cat, sharkky, doggy and many other bedroom styles. She invited her friend twice for party and it was awesome. Unlike you, anytime I want to practice different styles with you, it will appear like I’m punishing you or putting a knife to your throat. You are always boring in bed. Even if I didn’t place you on pregnancy pills you would not have been able to conceive. I can bet you that you are probably barren and all those things contributed to your bitterness. I won’t fold my hands and watch you destroy me. I will destroy you first. Wait to hear from me by next month concerning the divorce… You have bitten more than you can chew…

He turned and started walking away, Florence stood watching him leave.
Her phone was ringing again but she didn’t bother to check who was calling.

After she was certain that Cole wasn’t going to turn back again, she walked to her car.
she did not bother driving away immediately, she sat alone and tries to understand everything that Cole said to her.
Florence suddenly broke down and began to cry.
She allowed tears to flow down without making any effort to stop it.
She placed her head on the car steering wheel and continued sobbing bitterly.

Her phone rang twice again she didn’t check the caller as she remain in her devasting state.

She has been crying for almost an hour and didn’t feel like going home.
Her voice was patched, her eyes red and swollen from crying.

As the phone rang the third time she picked up.
It was Maxwell

“Hello Floz, how are you and how was work today…?

“Fine Max, why the continuous call…is there any problem?
Florence asked impatiently.

Maxwell was taken a bit back with the question.
He noticed her unusual harsh tone, it sounds dry and angry.
He assumed it could be work stress.

“There’s no problem Floz, I came down to your house and found out that you aren’t back from work yet…

Florence quickly cut in before Maxwell could finish.
“You went over to my house without informing me? Who does that…no one. Before you go to people’s house you call them first to let them know of your coming. Who do you think you are? You have no right to come to my place without my knowledge Max. Go home, I’m not in the mood to see anyone… especially you. Next time Max, you call me first.

Maxwell knew that all wasn’t well, Florence was so harsh and angry which is unlike her.
He didn’t take any of what she said to heart.

“I’m sorry Floz, you told me last week that you will like to taste Japanese chicken curry pavatin. well, I made it today, personally for you. I called you while still at home to inform you first, like an hour ago but you didn’t answer the call which was why I decided to drive down to check you at your end. My apologies for not waiting for your reply before coming… Maybe, I will just go back home then…

Maxwell waited for a reply but she didn’t say anything.
He ended the call. He couldn’t fathom what exactly was the problem with Florence but he was determined to respect her privacy.
Maybe is better he leave her alone for sometime.
He drove back to his place.

After two hours the door bell rang. He wondered who was knocking, he checked the time and realized is almost 9pm.
He wasn’t expecting anyone, who could be at the door that the security allowed inside the compound without calling him through the intercom first.

He went straight to the door and opened up.
He was surprised to see Florence staring straight into his face.
She has swollen red eyes and looked so pale.

“I…I… did not want to stay alone tonight. Also did not want to go over to Susan’s place to avoid further interrogation. I…wan..

Maxwell left the way for her to come in.

“You’ve been crying? You don’t need to explain anything… please come inside

Cole couldn’t sit still, he stood and began to pace up and down.
He punched the wall severally and despite the pain, he was too hurt to feel it.
He kicked the table, the glass cups on the table shattered into pieces.
Madam Gold was seated too, she crossed her legs on a stool and continue wiggling her toes.
She moved her mouth sadly, clapped her hands together.

Marina sat on the chair crying, she was crying heavily.
Lizbeth, the help in the house was trying to console her but Marina loud cry could be heard even in the street. She refused to be consoled.

“Leave me let me die…I want to die with my baby. After everything I suffered, everything I went through because of that pregnancy. After all the insult I collected I’m left without a child. No… this can’t be happening…it can’t. Where did I go wrong, how could this happen to us. I know how much everyone looked forward to his arrival. Even his father and grandmother were fully ready to meet the baby…but I was greeted with disappointment. The doctor said he couldn’t make it and the hospital quickly buried him. I’m lost of words…how do I start again. This life is not fair…

She stylishly


looked at madam Gold who continued wiggling her toe while Cole kept pacing up and down like a crazy person.
She increased her cry and even added screamed to it.
Madam Gold spoke.

“Let’s all calm down please, Marina dear, stop hitting yourself hard…is not your fault. You and Coleman will have another baby… this is not the end of the world. Another child will be born. For the fact that you got pregnant for my son, carried the pregnancy full term and even more passed the supposed delivery date, you were able to put to birth, don’t cry because you will conceive again. you may even have twins the second time. Coleman, my dear son calm down. I know it hurt because of your time, finance and whole effort you put into making sure your son is born healthy. I totally understand your pain… I’m also in pain like everyone of you. It hurt because I looked forward to welcoming my grandson too. Let’s try and move pass this, give yourselves time… maybe a month or two before trying for another baby. This time around we will be more careful than ever…

Marina smiled inwardly.
She turned to Madam Gold and said while still sobbing.

“Thank you madam Gold for your encouragement. I feel strengthened already. It really hurt, my heart is shattered in pieces. After carrying pregnancy for almost a year and it ended in premium tears…I don’t know how to cry. I’m broken.. really. Your kind words restrengthened me again. I


will try and hope for the better days and…
“After draining me of almost everything I had with the pregnancy…” Cole interrupted her.

“….How will I get the money to foot the bills in your second pregnancy. well, if I happen to take it as an option, how do i handle your extravagant lifestyle? Your first pregnancy left me almost broke Marina, how will the second one look like…as much as I want to try again, I want all the sweat I poured into you to pay off…by giving me a child but I don’t have such money like the first one….I don’t.

Hello, I like your story.

I work for a publishing company.

Have you published this book with a publishing company?

If not, I'll like you to publish it with my company and get paid.

BEING MRS SPENCE.
Episode 13
BY AMAH’S HEART.


He showed her the room that she will be spending the night.
She thanked him as he closed the door behind her and walked away.

After few minutes there was a knock on the door. Florence opened the door and saw Bianca, the housekeeper.
she stood smiling with some folded materials in her hand.

“Sorry to disturb you ma’am, Mr Max said i should give all this to you. Check for a perfect night wear that suits you. clean towels are included also.

Florence thanked her before collecting the materials.
She took the clothes to the bed, selected a cuddly night wear that smells of Maxwell fine fragrance.
She put the clothe to her nose and inhaled with her eyes closed.
She placed it on her chest and wrapped her hands around it.
The night wear was unique, and cuddly. Is nothing close to her usual pjamas or those sexy nighty that Cole usually buys for her.
This particular one was special.

Florence separated it from the rest, she put away the others before going to have her bath.
She was very eager to wear the nighty, it has a small inner before the overall robe that covers up the body.
It was so warm and inviting.

Maxwell was waiting downstairs, he kept looking


up the stairs, hoping she will come down for dinner.
But after 30minutes and he didn’t see her, he thought of going over to knock on her door.
As he took few steps, he changed his mind and turned back.
“She probably needs rest… Let me leave her to be.
He said to himself. He turned off the television and was about going to bed when he heard her room door opening and closing.
He waited and smile as he saw her coming in a beautiful night wear.

“Flox, I almost thought you were asleep and do not need to be disturbed. My believe is that you have gone to bed already…

Florence smiled and replied.
“You wanted me to sleep in an empty stomach? Is that the way you treat your visitor… that’s so unfair. What of that food you specially made for me, my Japanese pavatin or palliative. Can’t remember the full name. Have you finished it…?

Maxwell laughed out before saying.
“Is called Japanese chicken curry pavatin and is still available and specially waiting for you. Sit here let me take the honor of serving you tonight. I will go and warm it up a little, is more enjoyable that way.

Florence sat on the dining and within few minutes Maxwell served her and she began to eat.

“Oh my goodness, Max… this is really delicious. Wow, what are the ingredients and how did you prepared this. The taste is absolutely great. I’m definitely making it ones I return back to my side.

Maxwell


told her everything she needed to know about the food and even promise to prepare it again in her presence.
Florence ate up the full plate. She made attempt to pack the plate but Maxwell stopped her.

“Let me bring the remaining one for you… I’m sorry I didn’t make it much since is for you alone but I will do better next time..

“I’m so fed right now. I know I don’t supposed to eat this much… at this time of the night but I couldn’t help but finish it. Max, if I stay here one months I will definitely fat up…

Max smile as he cleared the table. When he retuned back, he sat beside her.

“Do you want to talk about what happened earlier that made you react the way you did. What was it that broke you down today Flox? If you don’t feel like sharing then is fine by me alright?…

Florence told him what happened and apologiesed for how she reacted.
Maxwell was a good listener, he took her hand into his and reassured her that all will be well soon before releasing her hand.
They talked about other things, crack jokes and laughed.
Florence told him that she will like to leave early so that she can get some clean clothes for office but Maxwell asked her not to worry about that, he will sort it out.

They continued talking as the night wears on.

They later paused, stared closely at each other without words.

Maxwell looked away to the woodart wall clock.
Florence followed his gaze.

“Is late, this is 11:23pm. I guess is time for you to go to bed since you will be going to the office tomorrow. Except you want to take a day off tomorrow and rest, I will pay you for the off day. But if you have some important office work to tidy up tomorrow… then is okay…”Maxwell said.

He looked at her again like he had something troubling his mind.

Florence stood.
“You’re right, is late. I need to go to bed now. I have to be at work tomorrow, I can’t afford to loose the high praises and recommendation that I have been getting at work. I’m strongly believing for more appraisal and not a scold. During the early time of my marriage crisis, I had a serious rough time, even got two weeks suspension at work. I’m happy that I have been able to overcome all of that. I want it to get more better…

She started walking towards her room, Maxwell followed her behind silently.
As they got closer to her door, he turned to her and said.

“Flox, I…I had a lot on my mind I want to say but, I don’t want you to feel like I’m taking advantage of you or the fact that you are at my place. I…uhmm.. never mind. Goodnight Flox…

He tries to walk away but Florence stopped him.
Florence wondered what exactly was bothering him so much that he can’t say.
She decided not to give it much thought.

“Max, I appreciate everything you have been doing for me. Thanks for the delicious pavatin, thanks for accommodating me tonight and for this coozy night wear, I love it. Goodnight… Max.

Maxwell did not reply or say anything. Florence was about opening the door when Maxwell intercepted her.
He gently drew her into his body and planted a kiss on her lip at first before kissing her intensively.

Florence broke free from him and slapped him.
Maxwell placed a hand on his cheek shocked.
His heart was panting, he bite his lips to subdue his raging emotions.

“What exactly are you trying to do Max? Can’t you see that I’m a married woman, I’m still married to Coleman. Isn’t my wedding ring glaring enough in your eyes. You need to respect the fact that I’m still Mrs Spence. Why are men like this? Always taking advantage of a vulnerable ladies. Maybe the mistake I made is coming to pass a night here, I can’t wait for morning to come so that I will be out of here. What do you take me for, You probably thought that I’m still the Florence of old…that you used to know. listen to me, I’m a grown ass married woman now, get that into your skull and don’t pull this kind of stunt next time.

She opened her door and walked in, ignoring Maxwell plea.

Maxwell punched the wall severally, he combed his hand into his hair wondering what he just did.
He couldn’t walk to his room, he was so beaten. he wish Florence will listen to him. he stood outside the door and began speaking to her.

“Flox, please… I’m sincerely sorry . forgive me. I wasn’t taking advantage of you in anyway…I can never do that to you. I’m not like other men out there like you stated earlier, I’m different Flox. I love you, yes I really do. I have never stopped loving you Flox. I feel so stupid right now, i never wanted to offend you. My emotions got the best of me… and I’m sorry..

He combed his hand into his hair again as no reply came from Florence.
As he turned and was about walking away, he suddenly heard the door opening.
The door flung open
Florence stood staring at Maxwell.
As Maxwell opened his mouth to apologise again. Florence interrupted by putting a finger to his mouth.

“Shhhhhh! Why are you still standing and staring at me. Don’t you want to come inside…

Maxwell blinked severally to be certain of what Florence was saying.
She pushed him forward and closed the door.



She pulled off the nighty overall jacket, dropped it on the ground removed her wedding ring for the first time and put it on a dresser.
Florence went to a confused Maxwell who stood watching her
She kissed him but Maxwell didn’t respond.
He gently pulled her away from him and asked

“Flox, are you really sure of this? Just few minutes ago you were bashing and cursing me for kissing you, I don’t understand…

She stepped away from him and said.

“If you truly love me Max, then stop talking and asking too much questions. Let’s do this. I just realized that I have actually been married to myself for over a year now, is time for me to move on too.

She kissed Maxwell again, this time he responded but not so well.

She gently pushed him to the bed, mount on top of him and continued kissing.
Maxwell turned her over to the bed, he kissed and caressed here passionately like he has wanted to do for long.

***********

Cole dropped the phone, sat hard on the bed and continue staring at the locked wardrobe.
He just finished receiving a call from his bank.
He took a loan three months ago and has not paid in anything like he promised to do. But with the new decision he took it will favor everybody.
He was also indebted in his office, he asked for five months advance salary but his company told him that such act is not part of their policy but what they can do for him is to give him a loan which will be deducted from his monthly salary.

The company loan wasn’t much which was why he decided to contact his bank.

A month ago he got involved with some fraudulent act in his company.
He supplied laboratory stocks to one big firm and did not remit the money that he was supposed to pay back to his company.
He prays that his company won’t find out.

Since Marina told him last month that she was pregnant again, he did not want any mistake at all like the first.

Is been three months already that the first pregnancy didn’t happen as planned.
They have been trying to conceive again.

Marina who promised to cut down her cost of expenses didn’t keep to her plans.
She said there’s a certain drugs, recommended by her doctor which she needs to be taken in other to quickly conceive.
She mentioned the huge amount for the drugs and it was seriously huge.

Cole was able to get the money and give to her.
Marina came up with another plan.
She told him that if he really wants her and the baby alive, safe and far away from Florence evil eyes then he should look for money and relocate her abroad until the baby is born.
She continued pressurizing Cole until he finally agreed.
He has been able to gather the agreed amount and gave all the money to Marina for peace to reign.
She assuredly him that she was walking on getting her visa, flight ticket, accommodation abroad and every other necessary thing with the money he gave her.

While Cole continue looking for a way to pay up his accumulated debt.

Since he couldn’t remit any money back to the bank, he decided to put his house on a collateral.
Was he making a mistake by using his house as a collateral? This is the question he kept asking himself

There is no other option than what he did.
Marina is almost two months pregnant, he seriously doesn’t want to take another risk.
He even asked her to reduce her bedroom action so that it won’t affect the baby.
By next month end, she will be flying abroad.
Ones she is gone, he will be able to see if he can recover from all the debts on his neck.

It was last month he served Florence a divorce letter, it has not been finalized yet.
The court will finalize it by next month.

Florence said she doesn’t want anything from him as a divorce settlement.
Cole noticed she was not looking happy nor sad.
She looks rather unpredictable.

Cole was happy when Florence said she doesn’t want anything from him. She only wish for the divorce to be finalize so that she can move ahead with her life.

Florence made it very easy for him, different from what Cole thought.

Lizbeth reminded Cole in the morning that they were running low on groceries and fruits for Marina’s smoothy, which she enjoys fresh.
Lizbeth usually prepares it fresh for her every day.

Cole had some money somewhere, which he kept away because of Marina.
Is mainly for Lizbeth monthly pay and the entire household expenses.

He could not find it where he kept it, he scattered his wardrobe but couldn’t find it.
Missing money was becoming a ritual in his house and there is no other person that will take it if not Marina
If he goes to ask Marina she will turn it into a fight.
But is either Marina took the money again despite all he has been giving her or the money develop wings and fly out.

Is a good thing that Marina was out.
Her wardrobe which belongs to Florence is always on lock.

He has never put much thought into the locking of wardrobe with padlock.
But looking at it again, questions crossed through his mind.
why will Marina be padlocking her wardrobe.
Florence has never done that.
What is she hidding. Even if she doesn’t want him meddling in her stuffs all she needs to do is say so.
Maybe she locked it because of Lizbeth or whatever her reasons maybe.

He needs to find his money so that he can give to Lizbeth to buy food stuffs and other household items and to know what Marina is always sneaking around and hidding.

Cole touched the padlock, he studied it for long and knew he needed a strong harmer to break it.
He will have to deal with Marina’s trouble later but she can’t continue stealing his money, locking her wardrobe as if he is the thief.
If he is spending so much on her, she needs to be transparent and grateful too.

Cole ran to his gym house, collected some tools that he will use to open the lock.
He ran back to the room to dismantle the lock.

Is a good thing that Marina is not around, she has told Cole she want to personally handle her traveling stuffs alone.
She mentioned that she was called upon for an interview concerning her traveling and she have been gone since morning.

He has enough time to break into her safe.

BEING MRS SPENCE
Episode 14.
By AMAH’S HEART.

 

 

Is a good thing that Marina is not around, she has told Cole she wants to personally handle her traveling processes.
She mentioned that she was called upon for an interview concerning that.

Her absence will give him time to accomplish his self given task.

Cole has asked to drive her due to her condition but she said since is just a month pregnancy there is no curse for an alarm.

Cole began working on the locks, he tried different method but it wasn’t opening.

He decided to apply force to it, breaking it was too difficult than he expected.

The noise coming from the whole process made Lizbeth to run up.
She knocked and asked from outside the door if everything was alright.
Cole told her to return to her duty that everything was fine.
Lizbeth remind him again about the grocery and many other things needed for in the house.

Cole told her that he was already working on that and will give her the money later.

Lizbeth went back to her duty, while Cole continue breaking the lock.

It was not an easy breakable lock, but he ended up unlocking it.

Cole without wasting time, opened up the place.
Things looks a little bit rough inside the wardrobe but nothing was suspecious.
He began searching


for money, few boxes of clothes and jewelries was mostly what he saw.
“What sort of madness is this that Marina displayed here? Securely locking up a wardrobe that holds nothing importance. I wasted my energy and time to break the stupid lock only to be greeted with all this nonsense. No money, nothing to even hold onto except jewelries and wears… this is totally insane.

Cole said outlouldly to the empty room.
Now, he has to face Marina for breaking into her wardrobe.
He has to prepare himself for her war because she won’t let it slide like that.

Just when he was about to step away something caught his eyes, there was another box hidden among other big boxes that looks out of ordinary.

Cole without wasting time, rushed to it.
He pulled it out and realised that is on password.
He started trying different things that came to his head just to unlock it but to no avail. It all failed.

The box was indeed expensive and special. Getting inside was the major problem for him.

He thought of using the tools he used for the locks on the box but shakes his head against it.
He doesn’t want to destroy it and later realized that there is nothing important in it.

He pulled back the box, be arranged all the things almost same way he saw it.

He angrily walked to the bed and fell face up.
He still needs to get money for Lizbeth.

An idea came to his head to go and search


all Marina’s hang bag one after the other.
He quickly stood on his feet and began searching frantically.
Marina has a whole lot of designers handbag, lined up in one part of the room. Same goes with her long line of shoes.

The room couldn’t hold most of her stuffs, she put some of the things away in one of the guest rooms which she also locked up.
There is nothing important or sneaky with her locking up her things in another room because she kept the key openly on a table in the master bedroom where he sees it everyday.

The only one that suddenly appeared suspecious was the wardrobe lock and now that he has broken it he wish he never did.
Cole continued searching, he saw little cash that won’t do much in one of her outing bag and took it.
He was lucky to get hold of few thousand dollars in another designers bag.
Cole took all the money he gathered. It was far more than enough for Lizbeth grocery shopping.
He was happy that his whole effort was not in vain, it paid off at the end.

Cole tried as possible as he can to put everything in place although not exactly as it was but he tried.

He called Lizbeth and asked her to tidy up the room, sweep off the mess he made and put everything in place.

Lizbeth did as she was told. Cole later gave her money for the grocery and other necessary things she needed to buy.
He was a bit free after sorting Lizbeth, the next thing on his mind is to face Marina.

Marina retuned late in the night, the first thing that greeted her eyes was her wardrobe lock.

“What in hell happened here… whaaaat is going on…?

She asked while quickly opening the wardrobe and examining her things.

Cole watched her rush to the box that was passworded
She sighed out her relief when she saw that it wasn’t tampered with.

She asked the question again, this time around facing Cole.
Cole replied her while frowning.

“My money recently went missing again, that money was meant for Lizbeth. Since you’re not a thief and we are the only two people using this room so i assumed the money probably developed wings and flew into your wardrobe. Which must be the only logical reasons why you keep locking your wardrobe. Well, I needed to give Lizbeth money for groceries and since I don’t have money I decided to search in your corner probably I will get hold of something but…

Marina interrupted.

“You’re very stupid Cole. How dare you mingle with my private things. What is difficult in respecting my stuffs and staying away from them. You broke my lock and got into my privacy… and you aren’t remorseful about it

“I’m sorry that I broke your lock Marina, I told you my reasons already and at the same time I wonder why you are locking up your wardrobe. None of your stuffs have gone missing before but I keep losing my money every time and yet I never thought of putting a lock to my wardrobe. I’m not a fool, I know that you usually take my money and deny ever seeing it. Despite how much I give to you, you’re never satisfied…the little I kept to run the house, you will still steal. Look at the number of your designers bags and shoes, designers wears in your wardrobe. I lost count when I got to 99. You’re too greedy Marina, I’m in a debt mess because I wanted to meet your demands, You drained me without sympathy during the first pregnancy. You promised to cut down cost if you happen to take in again. But instead of cutting cost and helping me out with expenses you triple your demand. You are choking me to death with excessive spending. I was with Florence for five good years and things have never gone messy financially. She buys groceries with her money, do most shopping without asking me for a dime….she..

Marina began to laugh.

“Comparing me with your almost ex wife won’t make you any richer. I kept asking this question ,if Florence was that good why are you with me? Oh, let me guess, she can’t get pregnant like me… poor barren woman. I beat her twice to it. She doesn’t know how to satisfy your dirty large sexual fantasy… what a boring wife she was. I’m not Florence and she can never be me…get that straight for ones into your empty skull. I don’t care if you die wretched, what I’m after is a better world for me and this child I carry. Is due to your stinginess and negligence that made me loose the first baby. I’m not taking Chances again with this second one. I won’t… because if I die playing the good girl with you, it won’t take a week for you to move on to another sexy lady. Don’t ever touch my private things again Cole…if you don’t want me to dive a knife to your chest…

Cole stood and pointed towards her.
“I dare you Marina, I will bury a Cutlass in your heartless chest before you can think of getting a knife. If not for the child you carry, I would have done away with you long time ago. I’m tired of you, your lies, your greediness, your laziness and even your crazy sexual performance. What is still keeping us is together is the child. And that’s the only reason I’m doing everything possible to carry my child. I don’t want another story that touches the heart like the first that’s the reason why I’m doing everything I can for you and the baby. I took loan so that you can relocate to abroad like you wish and for the safety of the baby. I’m in deeply debt all for you and the baby. You have no reason to be locking your bags or keeping secrets. I demand a total transparency from you…

The argument continue to heat up. Cole was boiling at all Marina’s insult. He decided to take a walk before he will do something crazy to a pregnant woman.

“I demand to know where you are going to at this time of the night…

Marina said blocking him from leaving.

“I’m taking a walk to cool my head. If I stay here exchanging words with you I would be forced to do something crazy… which may affect the baby. leave the road…

Marina stood insulting him.
He pushed her aside and left. Marina remain in the room.
She rushed to recheck her things again just to make sure none of her private things was not tampered with.
She peeped outside the door to be certain that no one was close by.
Marina closed the door firmly before picking up her phone to make call.

“…my heart ran into my mouth when I saw my wardrobe Aviv. I almost died standing… hahahaha. I’m too smart for him. He is complaining of all the money he’s been spending and how broke he was…he thought that I care. I have gotten enough of what I need, my traveling papers will be complete by next week because I paid for every necessary thing. Did you know that some of the baby bump were inside the box in my wardrobe but he couldn’t unlock it. Maybe I will have to move it out because my secrets are no longer safe in this house. If he finds out that it was all fake pregnancy I will be in serious trouble. The stupid man ransacked my bags, he was able to get small change but I don’t really care about that. By the time I’m gone he will know what poverty feels like…it has not even started and he’s already complaining and searching for money even in rat hole. How foolish can he be…him and his mother. They only cares about the baby… unknown to them that I’m smartly playing with everything they got which includes their spoilt brain. By the time I’m done with them, especially Cole he will…

there was a knock on the door. Marina’s heart skipped.
She gasped out in relief when Lizbeth came to inform her that dinner was ready.
Marina insulted Lizbeth for interrupting her before asking her to leave immediately.

She decided to go to the gym house for some privacy.
Marina saw Lizbeth at the dining. She wanted to be certain that Cole was not in the house.
She asked Lizbeth about Cole, she told her that she haven’t seen him.

Lizbeth knew where Cole was but she wish he will also hear all she heard from Marina.
She was shocked, her hand felt frozen on the door knob.
She never meant to eavesdrop on her, she only went to inform her about dinner and her harsh word caught her up.
with all she just learnt, the fake pregnancy both the first and second, the deceit, the lies and she is a week away from leaving the country. She doesn’t know what to do with the whole information.
Lizbeth heard Marina talk about the fake baby bump that is packed up in a certain box with password.
Cool was in the gym, she wish he will also hear some of this secret.

Marina was certain that Lizbeth must either be in the kitchen when Cole left the house.

She went to the gym house, closed the door and began making her call.

Cole was at the gym house. He sat down there thinking all by himself, when he heard Marina coming he decided to hide from her.
He does not want more trouble or exchanging of words again.
Marina started making her usual call again not knowing Cole was there.

“…The foolish househelp almost gave me a heart attack. I thought it was Cole. Anyway, now that we’re in a secluded place, let’s talk. So… like I was saying, the stupid man ransacked…

Before Marina could say more thing, Cole came out

“So am now a stupid man right? Why are you following me up and down… can’t i have peace in my house again?



Cole said interrupting a shocked Marina.

Her heart beat was racing but she quickly got back her herself. She knew Cole did not hear more than few things she said.

She eyed him before walking back to the house, Cole followed her behind, talking.

Lizbeth saw them walked pass, they both went upstairs to their room. She tip toed for the first time to know if Cole caught Marina

“You know I love you my handsome husband to be, Father of my unborn child. I hates it when you gets me annoyed. I wish we will stop fighting for the sake of this our unborn baby. He will not be happy when he’s parents are always at loghead.

“How do you know is going to be a”boy”. Cole asked.

“Because a mother knows. I’m having the same signs and symptoms I got during the first one. Is our first baby that decided to come back to us… can’t you feel it…

Lizbeth listened keenly. Marina said something else she couldn’t hear before hearing the sound of two of them kissing.

In no time Marina was moaning loudly as always. they were already having their crazy sex.

Episode 14 Continuation

Take it easy for the baby’s sake”
Cole said.
Marina either nodded or whispered because Lizbeth did not hear any more thing from her.

Lizbeth ran down stairs to her room. She needs to do something with the information she just gathered about Marina.
She will have to summon courage and tell Cole soon before Marina finalize her plans.

*********
He drove and stopped in front of her gate, none said anything as he bent towards her to kiss her on the lip.
She turned her face away from him, he tried again but she dodged the kiss.

He relaxed back on his seat, breathed loudly. He placed his two hands on the steering and remained quiet.

They both did not say a word to each other as they remained seated.
He turned to her, looked at her for sometime before saying.

“You don’t love me…I get it. You claimed to have feeling for me the last time we were together, yet you kept displaying an opposite attitude of love. I don’t know what to think again…I don’t.

She looked out from the window, it was dark everywhere.
The time was 8:34pm, it was a Sunday, tomorrow will be Monday. Her weekly wear was already sorted out. She only need to go inside, shower and sleep.

She has attended church service with Maxwell. today wasn’t the first time they will be attending service together.
It was after service they agreed to hang out in the evening.

After coming back, she relaxed a little before getting dressed again for evening outing with Maxwell.
He came and picked her up and when it was 7:30 she asked him to take her home.
She can tell that he was not happy during the ride back home.
He has been displaying cold attitude towards her. She wish he can understand her plight and stop making her feel guilty over her decision.

Florence flashed back to the night at his place. Everything was going on fine, the romance was as she wanted. Not rough or crazy style like Cole, it was just perfect but she suddenly started having ill feeling as she thought of Coleman.
The more she tries to wave it off the more the guilt wears on.
She was enjoying Maxwell kiss and touch, he was about entering the main romantic phase when she suddenly pushed him off to the bed.

Maxwell was shocked as he stared at her.
“Did I do anything wrong…I thought you were enjoying it? What is the problem again Flox…?

“, I’m sorry Max, I can’t…I just can’t.
She apologized.

He made attempt to touch her again, she slapped off his hand, stood up from the bed, picked up her nighty jacket from the ground and wore.

“… please leave, I’m sorry Max but if you love me enough you will leave me alone at this minute like I wish to be.

Maxwell tries to argue but went quiet. He dressed up properly before walking away.
Florence fell back to the bed and weep for unknown reason.
The next morning, Bianca brought two fine dress for her from Maxwell.
She got dressed and put back her wedding ring.

When Maxwell saw her in the money, his eyes was devoid of sleep.
He looked down at her ring finger and frowned.
Florence tries to apologise again for last night but he did not want to talk about it.

He served her breakfast, before walking her to her car.
He didn’t speak much or looked at Florence eyes like he used to do.
he avoided getting too close with her until she left.

“Flox… Flox…. You’re thinking again. Why are you making this whole thing more difficult than it is already. If you don’t want me or have feeling for me kindly say so, let’s stop deceiving ourselves and face reality.

She turned to him, his eyes were sad.

“I’m sorry Max, there are things I can’t change or undo and that’s who I am. I want to stand for truth, for royalty and most importantly for godliness. And the truth is that I have feeling for you..I truly cares about you Max. But I want to take things easy…

“You have feeling for me yet I can’t touch or kiss you like I so much desired to do. What are you talking about… I’m not asking you to change who you are, I only want you to stop holding back your feeling for me. I can’t do anything without thinking of you. I love you Flox, and is difficult to keep saying it with mouth when we have a serious connection in the past before you met Coleman.

He bent over, took her hands into his while looking into her eyes.

“….I want to express the exact way I feel, kiss you all over, feel your warmth, touch you like I used to in the past before our break-up. I want to make love to you for real Flox…I so much desire you. Ever since we got very close, I have been trying to put my whole feeling in check but the closer we get the more the feeling grows with each passing minutes. I’m tired of holding back and pretending we are just friends. Flox, we have history together it makes it difficult to remain friends…I Love you so much, don’t you still get it? Give me a chance to make amend my past. I really want to be in your life and love you like you deserve. Please… Flox…

Florence pat his hand gently, she touched his face. Caressing every line down to his mouth.
Maxwell placed his hand over hers and brought it to his lips.
He kissed her hand slowly, looked at her eyes down to her lip.
He looked down at her finger which still holds her wedding ring.
He draw out his breath shakingly.

“…You are torturing me Flox… you are really torturing me. I don’t know how much I can take. Why do you still care so much about a man that doesn’t care about you. He is living with a woman for over a year…who was pregnant for him. Same man served you a divorce letter and warned you off to stay far away from him and his mistress or he kills you. He threaten you with death and many other ill thinking stuffs. Why is he still holding you back from your happiness… please make me understand.

Florence gasped out sadly.

“He is still my husband Max. I’m sorry it hurts this way but that’s the truth. Is untill the divorce process is over I can’t be wholly yours. Please give me time, the whole thing is just around the corner. By next month end I will be a free woman to do as I wish. I won’t because of Coleman’s nonchalant behavior or his unruly disrespect and belittle myself. I will keep my honor till the very end. I can’t live as I like or be foolish like Coleman. We can’t both be mad at the same time. I want you too Max, I desire to be with you. Lay on your chest and listen to your heart beat as it was before meeting Coleman. I want to bury myself in your brood chest and most importantly kneel and pray side by side with you. I want many things too Max but I have to wait. I’m not gonna put my selfish desire ahead of me…I will wait no matter how long it takes. Let us allow God to take the wheel…so that we don’t miss out on the main road.

Maxwell nodded.
Florence smile, she bent over and kissed his cheek before saying goodnight.

As she picked up her bag to step out of the car, Maxwell caught her hand.

“I don’t feel like driving home now Flox, can I come inside and stay a little longer with you.

“No Max, please go home…watch some movies, dive into the pool and swim out the stress, check out Paloma, your talking parrot and have a nice time with the colorful bird or Diego, the fluffy white rabbit with it’s mate Anni. your domestic staff too can entertain you if you want. There is a whole lot of things to be done around your place…go home Max.

Maxwell laughed out a little.

“Diego is a lazy rabbit, he keep getting fat and fur all over. Anni is smarter, I think she is pregnant… she is begining to act lazy all of a sudden. Paloma talks too much I will skip. Maybe swimming will do lots of good. Thanks for the suggestion. When can I see you again Flox. I can’t wait for this divorce thing to be over so that I can have you all to myself. Should I prepare something for you within the week… what will you love me to bring for you…

“Nothing for now….or I will let you know within the week. Just go home Max, I need to get in and rest. Goodnight…

She opened the door and stepped down.
.”I love you Flox…

She did not reply, she only smiled and waved at him.
Max waved back as he watched her go inside before driving away.

BEING MRS SPENCE
Episode 15
By AMAH’S HEART.

 

 

This was the fourth day and she remains restless, several attempt to spill the beans was unsuccessful.

She knew it wasn’t in her place to be sneaking around and trying to know what Marina was planning next but she can’t close her eyes and ears from her wickedness.

She was able to gather enough information concerning Marina.
She was never pregnant, the first was a sham, fake pregnancy.
Lizbeth remembered how Marina was crying heavily, deceiving everybody and acting like she truly lose a baby.
She deceived everybody and they even blamed Mr Cole’s first wife whom Lizbeth has never met.
They made her believe that the real Mrs Spence was evil.
Now, the truth is out and Marina is the evil one that directly chase the real Mrs Spence out of her home with her fake pregnancy.
Cole threaten to hurt his wife because of Marina. He prefers Marina to his legally married wife.
Even madam Gold was totally deceived by Marina.
Now, Marina has succeeded in draining him dry.

Mr Spence, like she usually call him needs to know the kind of Lady Marina was and do something quick before things gets out of hand.
Marina is manipulative, she is very insultive and also harsh.
She treats her like


a spoilt garbage, no iota of respect or whatsoever.
Lizbeth dislike her person and will do everything she can to make sure she uncovers her dirty secrets.

But her only issue is how to go about it.

Just last night they were shouting and quarreling with each other.
Probably over money, Lizbeth can’t tell what exactly caused last night issue but she was used their banter everytime.

Anytime Cole goes out, Marina will be speaking on phone with whoever that knows her mischief.
Her partner in crime.
They will be calling Cole all sorts of names and continue making arrangements on how to finalise her evil plan.

“Lizbeth… Lizbeth!

Lizbeth can hear Marina shouting her name but she pretend not to hear.

Marina came down stairs with a bag and continued shouting her name.

“Where is this foolish help, have she suddenly gone deaf or what? Lizbeth… Lizbe…

Lizbeth answered as she came out of her room, pretending not to hear her before.

“,Oh, you finally heard. I thought you have suddenly gone deaf and dumb.

Lizbeth, for the first time looked at Marina very closely.
She first of all checked the way she dressed, almost naked.
A very short handles tight gown that exposed both her thigh and cleavage.

With a nude color lipstick, same color with her artificial long nails.
Her eye lashes was not left out, full and long. More than five piercing on both her ears, nose and side of her mouth. She has a twin tattoo on her back and left arm.

She was beautiful but looked razz


and street.
The tattoo on her arm wasn’t there before, neither was the piercing beside her mouth. she probably recently added those or Lizbeth never noticed until now.
“Sorry madame, I was occupied inside…

“You’re always occupied, I don’t need your dirty sorry. My husband, Cole will not be coming home tonight. He went for outside work, but just incase he comes back later and asked of my whereabout, tell him that I went to the hospital for check up and if the doctor insist I stay over maybe placing me on bed rest that is exactly what I will do for the sake of this baby I carry. Cole has been stressing me lately, resting outside this house will be very necessary. So, i may probably not come home tonight. hope I’m clear, did you understand everything I just said?

Lizbeth looked at her with a straight face, she almost said exactly what was on her mind.
She wanted let her know that her secret will not remain hidden forever.
That very soon and soon enough she will be exposed.

“Yes Madame.
Lizbeth replied instead.

“Good. Because I won’t take it lightly with you if you make a mistake in the information I just gave you. I’m not sure he will be coming back but if he happens to, don’t fail to tell him exactly what I said without mincing word because I will be switching off my phone. I don’t want his nonsense disturbance. Is that clear Lizbeth?

“Yes… very clear” Lizbeth replied

She walked out of the door to her car, and drove off.

Late that evening, Lizbeth was surprised to hear the sound of Cole’s car driving in.

The security closed up the gate as he drove in.

She haven’t prepared dinner, her thought was since no one was around, there was no need to make dinner down.
Lizbeth quickly went into the kitchen and started making food.

She came out and greeted Cole immediately he stepped inside the house.

Cole replied before going straight to his room, after sometime he came down in a polo and short.
He had his bath and changed up quickly.

“Lizbeth…

He called out while changing the television station.
Lizbeth ran out quickly to answer.

“No dinner tonight? Cole asked

“Is almost ready, I started not quiet long, didn’t know you will be coming back tonight…

Lizbeth said trying to rush back to her cooking.

“Wait…did Marina say where she was going to? Her phone is off…

Lizbeth paused, this was a good opportunity to spill the beans. Marina’s rubbish needs to end and all her secret must come to light. The game is over for her.

“She went to the hospital for check up and may decide to take a bed rest with the doctor’s instructions.

Lizbeth said, instead of all that she had in mind to say.

She turned and went back to the kitchen. She kept trying to rehearse the whole speech all over.
It has to sound convincing to Cole if not he won’t believe her and she will be in a serious trouble.

Lizbeth served Cole dinner, he ate a little before going to the cushion to stretch out himself.
Lizbeth knew he may probably fall asleep in no time.
This was her good opportunity to tell Cole what Marina have been up to.

Lizbeth kept going back and forth, she was restless and did not have the gut to talk.

“Is there a problem Lizbeth?
Cole asked.

“Yes…I mean no. There is no problem Mr Spence.



Cole stood up. He looked at her suspeciously

“Put off things, the television, the other necessary sockets, including this sitting air conditioner since no one will be sleeping here. I’m trying to cut down cost with the prepaid light. Things are not as they used to be, I’m not bouyant like before. try not to waste anything, especially food. Make only what we can finish, no left over except you want to eat it later. I don’t know how long but I will keep trying to pay for your services and provide money for the necessary things in the house but make sure nothing useful is thrown into the wastebin. I’m going to bed…

He began walking upstairs.

Lizbeth knew is now or never. If she doesn’t tell him Marina’s secret now, she may not be opportune to do it again.

“Mr Spence, I have something I want to tell you…

Cole paused, turned and looked at her.

“Yes, what is it Lizbeth?

She thought of changing her mind but she will be needing something to dismiss Cole.
Unfortunately she can’t find anything.

Telling Cole about the real Marina is far difficult than she thought.

Cole stood but when Lizbeth began babbling he said to her

“I asked you earlier if everything was alright and you said yes. Now, asking me to wait that you have something to tell but end up saying nothing is what i don’t understand. listen to me….if is about money, I don’t have money to give you Lizbeth. I don’t, is better you manage what is in the house. I said it earlier that you should learn how to economize. Things aren’t as they used to be. I’m going to bed now…

He turned and began to climb the stairs that lead to the master bedroom.

“Marina is not pregnant…

Lizbeth finally said very loud, making Cole to pause and turn.

“What did you say…? Cole wasn’t sure of what he just heard. He took few steps down.
Lizbeth breathed deeply, she knew there was no going back.
She has to finish what she just started.

“Marina, your woman is not pregnant…

Cole looked at her like a ghost.
“What exactly are you talking about Lizbeth, what do you mean Marina is not pregnant…if she’s not pregnant then what is she carrying in her womb?

Cole said while raising an eyebrow at Lizbeth who was ready to spill all she has learnt concerning Marina for the past few days.

“She is only pretending to be pregnant so to keep collecting your money. I’m not lying because I have nothing to gain from all of this. But I have heard her on phone while you were away and I knew she is not pregnant but only deceiving everybody…

Cole was quiet at first. He came closer to Lizbeth.

“Why should I believe you? Why will you even say such a thing Lizbeth…? loosing the first pregnancy was a big blow on us all, on me specially. You were here and witnessed it all but nature favored us by giving us another opportunity to be parents again. I’m happy for that atleast, despite it has left me in shambles but my happiness is becoming a father and seeing Marina deliver safely. I can’t fathom out what brought about you thinking Marina is not pregnant but that’s definitely the most stupid thing I have ever heard. Get back to whatever you are doing, this conversation between us is so lame and holds no water…

Lizbeth never knew convincing him will be this difficult but she was out already and there is no going back.
Anything she has to use to prove her point, she will do it.
Cole was turning to go back up. She took few steps closer to him and try to be bold because she was very certain of what she was saying.

“Marina is not pregnant. I repeat that again because I’m very sure of everything I’m saying. She has never been pregnant Mr Spence. The first one was a total lie, she didn’t loose any baby because she was never pregnant. This second one is equally fake.

Cole laughed out sarcastically.

“For your information she showed me all her doctors report. during the first one, her stomach has grown from each stage of pregnancy, her body changes and that goes with the baby bump are you telling me that there wasn’t a baby in her stomach or the baby that was in the bump was a fake baby too? Lizbeth what exactly are you saying..? I’m getting uncomfortable with all this. I paid you to scrub my floor and prepare my food. I didn’t pay you to poke nose in my personal affairs, if you were tired of your job, which is obviously true that you are, All you needed is to say so. What the hell is your business with Marina’s pregnancy. I understand that you don’t like her due to her harshness towards you but that does not give you any right to say what you just said. In about a week from now the month will end, get ready because you will no longer be in this house. Go to another house, leave what they pay you to do and continue with your nosy senseless gossip. I will get money and pay you off before then, why you will exceed tomorrow in my house is only because I don’t have money right now. I no longer feel safe staying in this house with you neither is Marina. You are capable of giving her something that will hurt the baby in her womb. Don’t speak another word Lizbeth concerning Marina’s pregnancy. Return to your room…

Lizbeth already knew the danger she was getting on but cares less.
Since Cole was already firing her, is better she just say everything all that was on her mind.

“I don’t really care if I’m fired or not, but I think is high time you know the bitter truth about Marina. She wears a fake pregnancy bump…

Cole curved a smile in a total doubt.

“….yeah, I know you won’t believe there is such thing. I also never knew stuffs like that was already in existence untill I heard her speaking over the phone and mentioning some of the things I’m telling you now. In her wardrobe there’s a box with password, she kept some of the bump there and some hidden away in the other room she packed her stuffs.

Cole asked Lizbeth to follow him and she did. He went straight to Marina’s wardrobe while Lizbeth stood watching.
Ever since the incident of the lock, Marina was no more locking up her wardrobe.

He pulled out the box that Lizbeth mentioned, there was no password in it again. just a single press of the lock button it automatically open on its own.

Cole opened it but there was only few clothes inside.
He searched round and saw nothing.
He turned to Lizbeth who was surprised to meet an empty box.

“You can leave my room now, hope you have seen that Marina is not hidding anything. And the only lie I see here is yours… get out.

As Lizbeth was leaving she decided to use the last minute of her time to speak.

“She probably played smart here, after you broke her wardrobe. She felt her secret is no longer safe and move it out which was why she left the box unlocked. Follow her to the hospital and not just drop her off by the hospital, enter inside and into the doctors office where she usually go for examining. Or invite another doctor to check her. Get a CCTV or recorder and either mount it in the room or gym. This two places are her favorite place where she makes serious calls. Since I will be gone soon I will advise you to run an investigation on her, I promise you that at the end you will come in terms with the fact about Marina.

Cole pushed her out of the room and she left.

BEING MRS SPENCE
Episode 16
By AMAH’S HEART.





He listened to it again, after the third time he was still not sure he heard it clear.
He turned it on again and began to listen, this time he tries to pay more attention to every detail.
He couldn’t listen to the end when he stood and angrily throw the recordings to the wall and it smashed.

It suddenly dawn on him that he just destroyed his only evidence
The only prove he would have used to nail the culprit.
He rushed to the pieces on the ground and try to see if he can gather it up but it was already ruined.

He put his head on the wall and started hitting it continuesly.

“No…no…no.
Cole fell to the ground, he rolled to one side of the house and continue his anguish cry.

“Is not true, it can’t be true. no…no. this can’t be happening…oh..oh…my God…

He continued crying.

He has decided to put everything Lizbeth said to heart.
At first he did not want to listen or think about it, but he saw the seriousness and zeal in Lizbeth.
She was ready to go to any level just to prove that she was not making up the story.
All through that night he couldn’t sleep, he called Marina first thing in the


morning and luckily her line was going.
She did not pick up immediately, until Cole called upto three times.
“Hello Cole, why are you calling me this early morning? Didn’t Lizbeth give you the information I gave her? I’m on bed rest as the doctor’s orders. I don’t need to be disturbed. You have really been stressing me lately and this rest is very much required for me and the baby. I will be coming home later in the evening, You shouldn’t be interrupting my rest this early morning…

Cole listened to every of her word without interrupting.
Everything Lizbeth said the previous night is still very fresh in his mind.

“Which of the hospital are you presently, I want to stop by..”

Cole asked calmly after she was done ranting.

“What for, to come and do what exactly? You want to come and add to my stress… please don’t come. Ones I’m done with my check up I will be coming home. Aren’t you supposed to be going to your office… what do you want to stop by for?

“I want to know the exact hospital that you are presently in Marina. Atleast for the first time let me watch how your examining process is going. You are carrying my child too, is only normal to participate in some of the things I couldn’t do during your first pregnancy. I want to cherish every memory, pending the time you will be traveling… tell me the hospital Marina…

Marina interrupted quickly

“Cole, you are not making any sense


to me. Don’t you know the hospital that I usually use, why asking me again of the hospital. I’m at St Lawrence hospital, this is the hospital I have been using, I only get to change HMO on a special recommendation. You can’t come because I’m on a bed rest. They won’t allow you to see me… go to work and make some money for us because I and the baby will be needing lots of it.
Cole was quiet for sometime he later said.

“, Sure sweetie. I’m sorry to disturb in the first place. Please get some rest. I only missed you last night in bed… you know I can’t stay without you honey. I’m going to work right away. Please take care of yourself and the baby too..

Cole later ended the call, he searched through all the hospital receipt that Marina has been bringing.

He noticed the signatures, the different hand writing. The number there wasn’t even correct.

Cole was ready to dig deeper.
Since Marina will be coming later in the evening, he will have to do whatever he had to do and be fast about it.

Cole quickly drove out, he couldn’t afford a CCTV camera so he decided to buy a recorder instead.
He bought two manual recorder, he hide it away where Marina will not suspect.
One in the room and the other in the gym.

It was carefully hidden away.
After that he took all the receipts that Marina drop, drove out again to the said hospital.
He presented it to the hospital and there was no doctor with the name on the receipts.

He asked for past record of Marina and also the baby they lose.

They checked all the records no such thing.
After gathering more information, Cole drove back home.

He told Lizbeth that he will be doing some office work and won’t come home tonight.
His line will be off but she should pass the message to Marina.

Lizbeth who has been acting cold and careful after trying to convince Cole but he took it differently.
She nooded to every of Cole’s orders.

Marina retuned home, Lizbeth heart skipped.
she does not know if Cole told her anything concerning what she said.
when Marina asked of Cole, Lizbeth who has become their information carrier passed the message.

“Whatever…”

That was all Marina said with a wave of hand as she went to the room.

Lizbeth gasped out in relief.
Mr Spence have not said anything to her obviously.

Lizbeth can hear Marina laughing and talking over the phone after about fifteen minutes.
She did not bother to find out who she was on phone with.
It was pointless, Mr Spence has fired her for the one she did.

The remaining days she has to spend here she will have to be very careful before somebody stabs or shoot her to death.

She is not ready to die over things that aren’t her business.

Trying to help out was her only way if standing up for the truth and justice but it never works out.

She can’t even sleep or eat without trouble and fear occupying her mind.

Lizbeth noticed Cole didn’t come home that night, Marina had the whole house to herself.
She went from gym to the room talking and laughing over the phone.

It was the following day, in the evening Cole returned. Marina has just three days to finalize with her traveling documents.

She informed Cole that she was going to collect some of her papers that were ready for her traveling.

It was after she left, Cole has time to check the trap he set.
Cole locked himself inside the room and began listening to the recordings.
Both the one from the gym and also the room own.

No one knew he set up a recording gadget, not even Lizbeth knew.
Cole listened continuesly to all unbelievable confirmation from Marina.

What he greatly feared most has happened to him.

He threw the two recorder on the wall and watch it shatter.
He fell to the ground, rolls like a child in dispair.
He does not know how to react to everything he had learnt about Marina within few days.

He suddenly couldn’t breath well, his heart beat became choke.
Cole held a hand on his chest, it felt stroked.
He try to stand but fell back to the ground, he made another attempt but fell.
His lungs felt heavy, there was a painful sensation on his chest he can’t fathom what it was.
he was dying, scream left his mouth.
He shouted Lizbeth name again before darkness covered his eyes.

Cole awaken with tube attached to his body, a man in a medical uniform was checking him.

“Where is this place…where am I?

“Please relaxed back sir, we’re running some check on you.

The doctor said as he continued his work.

Cole asked again where he was.



“A Lady, named Lizbeth called the medical team after you passed out in your room. She couldn’t give us any information concerning what exactly happened but from what we have been able to gather is that you suffered a partial stroke sir and you will need to remain here until we confirm your well-being atleast to 70percentage.

Cole was not even listening to anything the doctor was saying, he thought of Marina and it all came rushing back.

“Can I see Lizbeth…?

Cole asked, Lizbeth who was waiting outside was brought to him.

“Mr Spence, thanks goodness. You gave me a scare.

“How many days have I been here, what of Marina?
Cole asked trying to sit up but the attached tubes on his body would not let him.

“This is the third day Mr Spence. I heard you screaming my name by the time I came, I met your almost lifeless body on the ground, I have to call the medical personnel. Marina wasn’t around but when I informed her she said you will be alright, she has other important things to attend to…”

“I need to go home right now”
Cole said but Lizbeth ignored him.

“Your life and health is far too important. Please take a nap and relax. Let the doctors do their jobs. There is also a letter I received on your behalf yesterday…is from your office. They came with some police men. They wanted you to follow them for some questioning but I told them what happened to you. they even sent some men to confirm if is true, it was after they saw you that they believed and left Please relax back and get well Mr Spence…

“Take me home immediately, right now Lizbeth…

Lizbeth looked at him like a ghost.

Cole ordered her but she couldn’t, she rushed out to call the doctor. Cole began to remove the tubes.
They couldn’t stopped him as he asked Lizbeth to get him his clothes.

Cole couldn’t walk right, he was in pain and did not care about the doctor’s warning.
Lizbeth got him a walking stick and a cab that took them home.
Marina’s bag was almost ready to leave.

As Cole entered the Master bedroom, Marina’s boxes were lined up, the whole room smells of a strong alcohol.
She was surprised to see Cole, who was supporting himself with a walking stick that Lizbeth gave to him. He looked around the room in disgust.

“Oh you are back already Cole, I was planing to come over to the hospital and see you this evening. Hope you are feeling better now…

Marina asked, acting all concerned.
Cole who was still feeling a little dizzy curved a smile.
He looked around the room, even his own wardrobe was thorn apart.

“Are you going somewhere…?
He asked her while he continued to lean on the stick.

“Oh, you mean the bags. No, I was only arranging them. I can’t possibly go anywhere when you are in the hospital. That will be very heartless of me. My passport is actually out and by next week I should be saying goodbye but I’m concerned about you. If not for the baby I could have changed my mind and stay with you….

Cole suddenly threw his stick at her and it landed on her face, injuring her.
He couldn’t hold back his anger or pretend anymore.

Marina started raining abuses on him as she examine her injuries from the stick.

“You daughter of Jezebel has the gut to play me this way for over a year after everything I did for you!?, you thought I won’t find out…oh Marina. I will kill you and bury you before finallying Killing myself. Marina…oh Marina…how dare you…how..

“You can’t do anything Cole, you are half dead already mere looking at you, I will advice you to stay off my way before I kill you first. Who told you that you can pregnant a woman? you have your aim I had mine, yours didn’t work out mine did. Why are you beating around. I gave you enough sexual satisfaction, atleast even if you don’t get a child from me, you got good sex with different style. That’s compensation enough. Is unfortunate you found out now, I wanted to be gone first before you find out just to save you the whole sad drama buhhh….

Cole rushed to her, Marina quickly grabbed small knife she stored in one of the boxes closest to her.
As Cole grabbed her by the hair, she stabbed him but he didn’t let go off her.

He dragged her outside the door, Lizbeth came rushing, she couldn’t do anything because so much blood was gushing out of Cole’s body.
He looked like he was about to drop dead but still did not let go of Marina as he dragged her while Marina’s dagger was almost buried on the side of his stomach.

Cole used the last strength in him and threw Marina over the staircase.
She screamed and landed on the tiles, her screamed became silent.
Cole couldn’t stand still again, his vision became blurred, he fell and rolled down the stairs in a silent noise.

Lizbeth quickly ran to call the medics.

********
Florence was preparing for a weekend outing with Maxwell.
Maxwell was parked outside her house and waiting. Lizbeth makes him wait outside the house to avoid certain temptation.

In about a week time she will get to sign the divorce papers and move on with Maxwell.
Her relationship with Maxwell has blossomed as he continues hoping until when she will be a free woman before having her to himself.

She was going for her sister’s ten years wedding anniversary party.
Susan asked her to bring Maxwell along.
Susan has come to like Maxwell, she felt he is far better than Florence almost ex husband.

Florence was happy after receiving her sister call who asked her where she was.

Maxwell bought wine, banquet of flowers and some other gifts for Susan’s anniversary party.

Immediately Florence entered Maxwell car, he was admiring her beautiful gown when a call came into Florence phone.

After answering the call, she looked up at Maxwell in shock.

“What is it… what happened Flox?
Maxwell asked concerned..

“Cole was admitted in hospital for almost two weeks, he just awaken early this morning and asked to see me. Is his mother that called me…she said I should come before her son dies..”

Maxwell swallowed hard, he was speechless at first.

“What do you want to do Flox, today is your sister anniversary. The only thing you owe your ex husband is the signing of the divorce like he wished for. nothing should concern you whether he’s alive or dead. He does not care all this while if you are alive or dead. His mistress comes first and your life and well-being doesn’t matter to him so why are they calling you now… what for? Please ignored those people let’s go to where we’re going…

Maxwell turned on the ignition of the car, Florence held his hand.

“Max, I need to see Cole, is a matter of life and death please. Let’s put the hate aside for now. Let me just stop by, just a little and check up on him… then we will continue to my sister’s place. I promise I won’t waste time, just a quick stop. Nothing will stop me from being with you, The divorce process will be over in about a week, be patient. Nothing is going to change. Let me pay probably my last respect to Cole… please, drive me to the hospital. Madam Gold sent the hospital address already. If you can’t drive me down then I will use my own car…

Maxwell was surprised with the way Florence was acting.
He later agreed to drive her.

They entered the road as Florence continue reading out the hospital address to his hearing.

By AMAH’S HEART.

 

 

She wheeled him carefully into the house, straight into the sitting room before leaving him to go and drop things in the room.

Lizbeth was setting up the dining table.
He looked towards the dining and saw the varieties of food that was set up with wine, he has many questions on his mind but he decided not to say anything.

Madam Gold looked at her son for a long time, Cole looked up at her and said.

“Mom… what’s the problem? You make me uncomfortable with those look of yours. I have been through a lot already, I don’t need judgemental look or words…”

“Coleman, this whole saga nearly take you to the grave, you should be thanking me for still being alive. I have been waiting for the right moment to say exactly what I wanted to say to you. Since is over three months… getting to the fourth month, I guess is the right time. Do you know how much all the different physiotherapist that have been attending to you charged? different doctor’s appointment, exercise and many other drugs and injections. money is seriously going down just to fully resuscitate you back to your feet. It has not been easy Coleman especially with the spending. I’m glad you’re getting


better but You practically made me broke and I had no choice but to sell one of your father’s asset. He left two buildings, each is three storey building in the estate. That’s the only thing he left for me that I have been living on. The huge amount you received as his only son, you used it to build this house and squander the rest…. can’t tell what you did with the remaining money….
Cole became impatient with whatever his mother was trying to narrate.

“Go straight to the point Mom, stop beating around. You’re getting me uneasy. What exactly are you driving at…

Madam stood angrily.

“You see… this is the same attitude of yours that got you down into a wheelchair. Impatient, pride and stubbornness… this are the same attitude your father had when he was still alive. What I’m trying to say is that I sold the building. Now, I’m only left with just one. I used the money to settle both your hospital accommulated bills, and I paid for that of Marina’s…

Cole interrupted.

“I never asked you to pay for Marina whatever, she is the reason I’m in this mess. She has my money and can treat herself. I wonder why she is not dead anyway…

Madam Gold angrily slapped him on his cheek.

Cole made a fist and tries to move from his wheelchair but he couldn’t.

“…. what is the meaning of this Mom? Why the hell will you raise a hand and slap me… Hope you aren’t mistaking me for


a 15years old teenager you can dictate and slap anyhow. Because I’m limited to a wheelchair doesn’t make me less of a man… don’t you dare treat me like an earthworm…
Florence came out of the room and ran straight to the parlour as Cole and madam Gold’s voices were rising.
Lizbeth stood at a distance watching in silent.

“What is going on? What are all the noise for…?

Florence asked moving closer.

“This stupid ungrateful husband of yours, this ingrate of a son is not even a bit thankful for everything I did for him within this saddening months, I sold my best asset for his health, I’m left with just one that I can’t count so much on. I used almost all the money for his health, and to pay up Marina’s own. Instead of him to be thankful, he’s here raising voice at me. Coleman, you forgot in a hurry why they call me madam Gold… let me remind you that I’m a no nonsense woman. I prefer the action that comes with my name, is equivalent to being addressed as Mrs Spence. I love being Mrs Spence because it comes with war and victory for me, madam Gold add action spice to my personality. Aging won’t make me turn into a vegetable. Whenever you open your mouth to talk back at me think again. I will not mind the fact that you are my son, I will take you up the stairs, push you down from there and watch you fall like a rolling coaster breaking your remaining bones in the process. Nonsense element like you. Listen to me, Florence is the only one that can tolerate your rubbish. I never tolerated your father’s own, I will never tolerate yours. Get that straight into your head.

“Madam Gold, please calm down. that’s enough…is probably his present predicament that is getting him agitated. Cole appreciate your efforts, he might not say it but he sure do..

Florence said, trying to calm her down.

“I don’t even care if he appreciates or not. He should be lucky that he has a mother like me. Aside his traumatizing health issue, Marina suffered alot of broken bones and damaged body tissues that needed replacement. She had many stitches both from her head down to her leg. Her brain was almost at the verge of sticking up. According to the doctor, Marina wouldn’t have made it alive if not for my prompt response. Now, she is in the ICU recuperating. She is on a high percentage of suffering mental break down in future. I was there when they shave off her head and began each surgical procedure. Deep down I don’t want her to die because Coleman will be charged for homicide. He may think he has a strong defence edge against her but nothing justifies murder. If you don’t have a good lawyer, your sorry ass will be resting in prison even with your condition…the law doesn’t care at all. Each of those surgeries for Marina cost money, each one for Coleman equally cost money. All the money is all gone and his treatment is done yet. Even if Marina has his money she will be needing allot of it for corrective surgery because I have already tried my best for her. The pay back I get from him is ungrateful speech. Coleman you’re unapologetically senseless. Take a long look at me, I’m not your wife who cares enough to return back to take care of you. I’m not soft, you should know me better than anybody else. Your father tried some shit with me and I gave him the seat he deserves. Don’t you ever mess with me… don’t you ever Coleman…”

Florence walked up to Cole and asked him to apologise to his angry mother.

“I’m sorry Mom. I didn’t mean to sound ungrateful…I do appreciate everything. I’m sorry…

Madam Gold picked up her bag and car keys.

“Yeah, you should be really sorry. I’m cleaning the heavy mess you made. You live with Marina for almost two years you never care to pay attention if she was truly pregnant or not. She deceived you ones and was starting another phase of the deception yet you did not know. If not for your house help that cares enough to draw your attention to it, you wouldn’t have Known until she disappears. Your foolish mind was clouded with the crazy sex which blocked your brain from knowing any other thing. She was almost perfecting her plans Coleman before you found out. I used to think is Florence that has the issue but I think I know better. Despite all the money i put into you and Marina, no single grandchild, I only got paid back with more heavy mess to clean up. Anyway, try all you can and get back on your feet so that you can pay me some of the money I poured into your health… even if is quarter of it o don’t mind. I’m not so generous when it comes to somebody that has no sense. I wonder if they exchanged you in the hospital or you are the same son I gave birth to. Look at your sister, she is just like me. A no nonsense lady but you, I don’t know where to place you. You live in the same house with a woman for almost two years and you never knew she was faking a whole pregnancy, wearing fake pregnancy bump, giving you fake hospital test results. You continued pouring your money on her while she went ahead to wash your stupid head with lies. I’m so angry right now. If I don’t get out I will end up hating you…

Madam Gold stormed out. Florence called her to come back for dinner atleast but she ignored.
She left and the house became so quiet.

Florence tries to say something but Cole quickly shun her.

“Florence, if you want to walk out like my Mom just did, then be my guest. Go… everyone should just leave me alone. Enough of the bashing. I know I messed up big time but haven’t I be punished enough. What else do you all want. Maybe I should have died instead of all this unnecessary added trouble… I’m tired. Just tired of this whole life…

Florence came to him, she gently massaged his shoulder making him relax back on his wheelchair.

“I wasn’t going to bash you like you thought Cole, I wanted to ask if you are ready for dinner. Lizbeth has set up the table…

Cole inhaled deeply, he squeezed Florence hand gently.

“I saw when she was setting it up, what is there to celebrate… because I saw a bottle of wine and cups. Different delicious looking food… The money where did it came from?

Florence smile and said it was just a little money she gave Lizbeth to prepare dinner.
Cole kissed her hand and thanked her.

She wheeled him to the dining table, helped him up to a sit.
she asked Lizbeth to join the table.
Lizbeth obliged as Florence gave her a pleading look.
Florence said a short prayer before dishing out the food.
After meal, Florence poured wine to the cups and they toast to life. She thanked God for giving Cole another chance to life.



She later helped Cole upto the room, then to the bathroom. When he was done with the bathroom, she helped him out to the bed
She assisted him to get properly dressed for the night.
She gave him all his drugs just as prescribed and he took it.
After she was through with Cole, she freshened up before retiring to a table to read and pray.

Cole watched her pick up her bible and began to read on the dresser.
He called her.

“Sweetie… please hurry and come to bed.

Florence who only started sleeping on the same bed with him a week ago did not reply.

She later close up her Bible before checking her phone.
Maxwell has been calling and sending messages but she has been ignoring.
She tries to avoid seeing him too.

What will she tell him if she decided to answer his call.
Maybe she will think of what to do with Max but Cole needs her.
She can’t abandoned Cole at this state of his health. She is not a heartless human.

The divorce is still pending, Cole doesn’t want to continue with it.
He has pleaded with her not to proceed with the divorce case anymore otherwise he is as good as dead without her in his life.

Florence left the whole divorce thing aside as she take up the challenge of returning back to her matrimonial home for the sake of Cole’s health.

Florence said a prayer before going to join him in bed.

Cole tries to pull her up to himself.

“What are you trying to do…
She asked frowning.

“What does it look it? I’m trying to cuddle up my wife, kiss her and if possible make love to her. I have really miss you sweetie…” Cole replied as he tries to roughly squeeze Florence breast.

She slapped off his hand

Florence laughed out sarcastically.

“Wait Cole, which waist are you going to use and make love? Is it the same one the doctor warned you not to stress due to the shifting of the figment. You were warned not to think of a woman yet until your physiotherapy exercise is over. Do you want to remain on a wheelchair for the rest of your life? Sex should be the last thing on your mind right now Cole. Chanel your whole energy in getting better and bouncing back. Another thing Cole, don’t ever touch my breast like you roughly tries to do now or any part of my body that way… I’m not your former crazy sex mate…Marina. I’m Florence Richard Adam. Hope we’re clear?

Cole was quiet at first before replying.

“You’re Florence Spence. That makes you Mrs Spence. You are no more bearing your father’s names. You’re my wife and despite everything that happens we will remain together. Isn’t that the purpose of the wedding ring on your finger? I love you… hope you know that already? I may not have showed it like I suppose to but you remain my wife and I will never take you for granted ever again. I’m sorry for doing so in the past, it almost sent me to an early grave. I know is because of your Love for me that made you return…I appreciate it.

Florence was lying facing up. As a lot of things filled her mind

“Why…why didn’t you tell me that you had erectile dysfunctional issue, your percentage of ever getting a woman pregnant is 15percent which is nothing but a miracle. Why do you make me take those pills for years? Those pills almost caused big issue for me if not that I tackled it with everything I got. Why Cole… When the doctor said it three days ago, you didn’t look surprised. You knew all this while…so Why will you think you even pregnanted Marina when you know you are not alright medically. I have been silently thinking about it, waiting for you to raise the topic but you are not saying anything concerning that…

Cole moved uncomfortably.

“Florence, I didn’t know at first, That’s the truth, I made love to you perfectly and effortlessly in the beginning of our marriage. It sound funny but I had no issue with erection and still don’t. It was when I started going deeply into watching porn, taking some sex booster and enhancer that can make me spend several hours on a woman that my manhood started malfunctioning. I didn’t bother about the negative effect of the booster neither did I pay attention immediately, but it got worst. I visited a doctor friend of mine who runs some tests and told me to stop taking the sex booster because it has damaged lot of things. I stopped, truthfully I stopped it and started taking the prescribed drugs from him but after five days I felt very alright, active and fully back with my old action self. I was meant to take the drug for two weeks and three days after which I will take four injection. After that five days of the prescription I felt very fine, I saw no need of completing the boring process so I threw the medicines away. I thought I was really alright Florence. Asking you to take pills was because I wasn’t ready for responsibility…I was not ready for children. I saw children as too much responsibility…that’s the truth. But when Marina told me that she was pregnant, I was deeply troubled but I had to settle with it because she said she won’t remove it. I began seeing kids differently… The more I think about it the more I wanted to have the baby. I literally fell into her trap of deceit. I became desperate for a child and that’s how she got me and also got Mom. I’m sorry… deeply sorry. we can make use of the 15percent with your strong faith in God, he will give us a miracle. I can also try other fertility drugs to see if it will do the magic…

Florence bite her lower lip, trying hard to suppress her angry emotions
She was quiet, digesting everything Cole said.
Cole asked her if she was angry with him and she replied that she doesn’t even know how to react to the whole information.
She asked Cole to tell her every other thing that he was still keeping away.
It was time for truth.

Cole told her about putting the house on collateral and the illicit act he did in his company and he could have gone to prison because of fraud but due to his condition they decided to pardon him. He was dismissed at work, his boss fired him and gave him six months to pay up the loan he took from the office.

As he was still talking he felt sleepy.

“I think the drugs is taking serious effect on me. I’m tired…I need to sleep.

Florence watched him dozed off within a second.

She sat up thinking hard and long, wondering if she can handle all of Cole’s excessive baggages or she should just proceed with the divorce and settle with Maxwell who cares for her and handles her gently unlike Coleman.

She clapped and cheered as he took several other steps without his walking cane.

It was like a child who is learning how to walk again, taking each step carefully to avoid falling. Same it was with Coleman.

Since three weeks now he has been practicing on his own.
From trying to stand without help to taking steps with stick.

Florence was making sure that he is not reclined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

He was done with his physiotherapy, Florence who wasn’t relenting paid for another home service therapist who comes around three days in a week.

With all this help Cole was gradually getting back on his feet.

She also drives him down to see their doctor who was giving him both injection and drugs that may help his low fertility issue.
The doctor said is 50 50 and if Cole is Lucky the medicine will work in his favor but if it doesn’t there is nothing else he can do.
Cole has been following the whole procedure for over a month without missing anything.
Florence has been backing it up with prayer. She hopes the whole process will be to Cole’s favor.

That evening as they retire, he said.

“I appreciate all your efforts sweetie, I don’t know what I


would have done without you. You are single handly running the house. Since I don’t have any job, I’m not physical feet to search for another, I can’t even count on my mother to help. She will tell me how much of a failure I am before thinking of helping. I love you and appreciate everything you have done and still doing for me…
Florence curved a smile and nod without a word as she folded his washed clothes and put it away in his wardrobe.

“…. however, I have another request, is just something little. Please, I solely depend on you because I have no other help to count on…

Florence paused from what she was doing, turned and asked what the problem was

“… sweetie… this is the seventh month, my company gave me six months to pay up the loan but we’re already in the seventh month. I have been getting reminder and other messages in my email concerning the debt. Remember, why they decided not to take up the theft case was because of my health but I should for no reason fail to pay up the money I owe them or another trouble will be brewing. I have been through a lot already, I don’t want more. I can’t count on my Mom, she won’t give me another dime after the hospital bills which I still get insulted for and she never visited ever since. Is there any way you can help out… sweetie.

Florence asked him the amount again


and he told her. She gave a heavy sigh.
“Cole, and you called this a “little help” that’s huge. Ever since I moved in, I have been spending both on feeding, your drugs, general house maintenance and the home service therapist that attains to you. All of this are unexpected huge expenses but since am in it already, i can’t leave it half way. But you starting the request and making it sound like the money is just a token makes me wonder if you have forgotten that I’m a salary earner. Give me time Cole, I really don’t know…but maybe like a week or two. Let me collect my next salary and add up to what I have at hand.

Cole thanked her as she went back with what she was doing.

Florence phone was vibrating. Cole called her attention to it as he asked her who was that calling her.

Florence ignored him as she took the phone down stairs.

It was Maxwell, she has finally spoken to Maxwell and pleaded with him not to be mad that Cole was dying and there is nobody to attend to him.

For a month now they have been talking on the phone, she saw him briefly when he visited her work place twice.

She asked him to stop coming to her office, that she will come over to his place instead to visit and they will get to talk.

Maxwell who had been trying to be patient was loosing his mind.

Just thinking that Florence was getting back with her husband was driving him crazy and he can’t do anything about it.

It was a video call, Florence sat on the cushion downstairs and answered it

“Hey…how are you…” she greeted him first.

“Not really fine. I don’t understand what’s going on with us. You promised to come over so that we can talk but you never did. You are over there with your husband… how do you expect me to feel about that? I miss you Flox, I’m loosing my patience waiting and hoping that you will still be mine but to be realistic, I don’t see that happening with your cold attitude towards me. Your sister said she will talk to you, I have spoken with her twice this week and she said that she has tried her best in talking to you but you are so keen on helping your “dying” husband. Flox, just tell me the truth, do you love me and will still be mine or you really want to get back with Coleman…answer me Flox. Let me know my stand… please.

Florence inhaled slowly before saying.

“I love you Max, I really do. The problem now is that Cole needs me, i can’t leave him at his present state. He is still my husband… because the divorce is on hold at the moment. Let him get back on his feet first then I can reason clearly. Tomorrow is Friday, by Saturday I will drive down to see you…I promise. We will get to talk better…

“Flox, one more question… please, don’t lie to me. Are you both sleeping on the same bed?

Florence frowned at the question

“Max..hmmm. yes, we sleep on the same bed.

“Why, I mean since you are half separated and what is only keeping you under his roof is his health, so why are you sleeping on the same bed? It only means you have fully accepted him and I shouldn’t get my hopes up. He is making love to you right….? Wow… Flox. In my bewilderment I’m…. I’m just astounded at you…

Florence sighed again before she interrupted him.

“Max, we’re not doing anything. He’s not touching me I’m not touching him. We’re just bed mates and that’s because he needs help mostly at night to get up and use the bathroom and also to change position in bed. If I’m not close enough he may tries to do that on his own and fall off and that will be another illness added to the present one. He can’t make love to a woman yet until he is physically fit. Max, that’s more reason why I promise to come see you on Saturday. Stop thinking this way, you aren’t helping me here at all. I need my sanity to keep up with this whole thing. I’m doing all of this to make sure Cole is back to his feet soon enough so that I can be free too. Will you rather prefer I leave him to die and then carry the guilt for the rest of my life. I don’t have such heart and since I have started this…I will continue to the end. I’m only praying that the almighty God I serve will see me through all of this…

They spoke a little more before ending the call.
After the call, Florence stood and saw Lizbeth sitting on the dining side.
She came to Florence.

“I wasn’t eavesdropping Mrs Spence, I just came out few minutes ago when I heard you talking. I also wanted to talk to you…

She cleared her voice and continued.

“….I know this must be very hard for you ma. I know how much we spend every week and I know is all on you. I also know what Mr Spence did, how he kicked you out because of Marina. Treated you like trash and a whole lot of names calling and threats also played out while you were away. I never knew who you are but when I later realized that you are a good woman, my thoughts changed immediately. What baffles me most is you coming back to take care of Mr Spence. No woman in her right mind will want to do what you did…not after everything that happened. But here you are going extra mile to make sure he is alright. Whenever you are out to work, I’m responsible I taking care of him. It sometime a tedious process, he sometimes doesn’t even call for my help at all. I might not have thanked you enough because I’m not a family member but just a help but I deeply appreciate you Mrs Spence. You are one of a kind. I do have regrets sometimes… maybe I should not have mentioned what I learnt about Marina to Mr Spence. Maybe allowing him to find out by himself would have been better… maybe in that way, there will be less of physical and internal body damages. I almost fainted at the bloody sight, I thought they were both dead before the medics arrived. Is a relief that they are still breathing and trying to get better but if I have kept my mouth shut, maybe Marina would have traveled out or disappear without anyone knowing. Mr Spence probably will mourn all his losses in silence without heavy damages. I’m sorry… very sorry for indirectly causing all of this. I never foresee the aftermath of it, I could have find a better means…

Florence smiled, she tapped her a little and said.

“I believe you did the right thing by informing him. Because if Mr Spence had found out after it was already too late, he probably will get a gun and shoot himself. Stop beating yourself Lizbeth, you telling him was a good idea. Although the physical harm and mess is too much to take care but I’m glad to have you, your great help is well appreciated…

Lizbeth smiled, Florence retuned the smile before leaving her to join Cole in the room.

She saw Cole sitting on the ground with his head bent and his walking cane beside him
She rushed to him.
“What happened…? She asked as she tried to help him get up to his feet and helped him to the bed

“I wanted to know who called you and who you usually seclude yourself to talk to most times. Well, I couldn’t even get to the door, the results is what you saw. Florence, I know you are helping me get on with life and I appreciate but I also know whoever you must be talking with is a man. Probably that your good for nothing ex boyfriend. That’s a disrespect to me as your husband, you are a married woman and speaking romantically to another man is cheating and disrespect to my person. Even though I can’t do anything due to my condition at the moment, I was still able to perform perfectly well in bed to your satisfaction. Florence, you need to stop speaking to him and focus on me like your one and only. I can’t stand sharing my wife with another man…

Florence boils angrily as Cole remind her of their love making few days ago.
She has lied to Maxwell that nothing of such was involved, getting an unsolicited reminder makes her stomach growls.
The doctor had confirmed Cole free to meet a woman. The doctor advice him to also exercise his waist. It could be through sex or other means.
He had been trying to touch her for several weeks even before the doctor confirmed him alright.
She refused and only fell for his touch last week because she wanted to fall not because he forced her.

She moved closer to him and said angrily.

“Don’t even think of pushing your lucks with me Cole. No, don’t try it. Because we slept together and had sex twice last week for the first time in almost two and half years does not give you right to claim me as yours. So, don’t push your lucks.

“It was actually three times not two. twice last week and one this week. On Tuesday to be precise. You still enjoys my touch, you moaned and kissed me passionately. You missed me and has been craving for my touch. Doesn’t the sex and all the intimacy we shared together means anything to you at all…

Florence gave a sarcastic laugh.

“It means absolutely nothing to me. Maybe a little pleasure at that moment… that’s all.

Cole frowned and said.



“You’re lying. I don’t believe you at all. It maybe hard for you to admit but you can’t possibly deceive me. No man have been able to touch you the way I do and no man will, not even your ex. Florence, I know all your weak spot…I study your body like book. So I know how you like it done…

Florence interrupted.

” You know all of this and yet you never got it right. You act like an animal during sex Cole, that’s the bitter truth but it must be told. Listen to me, I’m not promiscuous or flirty like you. I stayed without getting intimate with any man for over two years, not that there were no man, not that I don’t desire it sometimes but I’m not Coleman Spence, I’m Florence Richard Adam. I’m disciplined, God fearing and I respect my marriage vow which all means nothing to you. Go to bed Cole, let’s not banter word to avoid pissing me off.

Cole looked at her for sometime, he breathed deeply.

“You are not the woman I used to know, you have really changed Florence. You no longer talked to me with fear and respect. I guess is because of my health…I won’t be like this forever, hope you know?

Florence ignored him, she walked out of the room instead.

After an hour, she was calm and retuned. Cole wasn’t sleeping as she climbed in beside him.
She gave enough space between them.

“I’m sorry Florence, I easily gets angry this days due to my condition. I do love you and appreciate everything you have been doing. I’m sorry sweetie, please look at me… I need you. I need your warmth, I want to hold you and…

Florence interrupted him.

“Sleep Cole. You can sing all the love poem from now till day break and there will still be nothin for you. If you disturb me further, I will either leave you alone here and move to either another room or I sleep on the floor. I mean it…

Cole became quiet and later said
“Florence, remember the doctor said I need to be exercising my waist, so that I can heal up faster. Making Love to my wife is part of the exercise if you really want me to get back on my feet soon…”

Florence sat up, turned to him and said.

“One more word from you again and I’m out of here. You have a gym house, go and exercise there but if you disturb me again, I will be out of here.

Cole did not bother her again. After sometime he dozed off.
Florence turned and stare at him.

She used to be very much in love with Cole but not again.
Looking at him now, she does not know what exactly she feels.
Maybe pity was what she has for him.

Florence couldn’t see Maxwell on Saturday, she promised him again the following weekend

Maxwell had been patient, really hoping she will come back to him. He’s patient were almost running out but she’s kept persuading.

The only problem now is that Cole’s healing process was taking longer than usual.

Cole on the other knew that Florence may probably leave him if she discover that he can do majority of things dependably.
He decided that he will continue to pretend just to have Florence stay with him.

The weekend she promised to go and see Maxwell came. that Friday night, she and Cole were as usual having their romantic fun

While they were at it, Florence mentioned Maxwell name twice.

Cole suddenly felt irritated with her

“Max… Max your ex? You just mentioned his name twice Florence. What the hell is wrong with you… we’re making love as married couples do and instead of moaning my name you are calling your ex instead…

Florence acted all surprised.

“Did I? No…I didn’t. It was your name I called… you probably did not hear me well.”

Cole later continued but Florence called Maxwell’s name for the third time and even more clearer.
Cole angrily pushed her off the bed, she fell and quickly stood up, took the glass cup that Cole used to take his meds and broke it on his head.

“Just giving you little dose of your own medicine and you can’t take it… Coward. Those times you Kept calling Marina’s name during sex, I asked you to stop because it drives me insane having my husband thinking of another woman while on top of me. You didn’t stop so I decided to overlooked and endure it instead. The table is turned now and you can’t even endure it like I did. Hurry and get back on your feet, let me know what I want to do with my life.

Florence clean herself. She ignored both the small blood running down Cole’s forehead where she smashed the glass cup and the pitiful look on his face as she took a blanket and left the room.

When she returned back to the room in the morning, Cole was lying on the ground close to the bathroom.

Florence went to him, lifted him up and realized he was wet.

“What’s this… whaaa… you pee on yourself…oh my God! But since three weeks now, you go to the bathroom sometimes on your own, with the help of your cane. Why didn’t you call me since you needed help..

Cole didn’t reply, she helped him to the bathroom instead.
She quickly hit up water, pulled off his cloths and scrubbed him up with the hot water.

Ever since he got better, Cole will always tell her not to bother, he wasn’t handicap. He will bath himself and do other personal things on his own.

But he allowed Florence to attend to him without a word that morning.
He watched her treating him like a baby, before helping him to the bed.
He loves and enjoys every of it.
If that’s what will keep his wife from leaving then he will continue to apply it.

She helped him get dressed before covering him up with a duvet as he lay down.

Florence cleaned up the room while Cole watched.
He has deliberately did what he did to get Florence pity and it works.
He has used the bathroom confidently before without help on numerous occasions.

“I’m sorry, I thought you were mad at me that was why I couldn’t call. I was actually going before I suddenly fell and I couldn’t get up. I remain there for over five hours…

Florence opened her eyes shocked when he said five hours.

“I’m sorry too Cole. Maybe I shouldn’t have left you alone. I was truly pissed with the way you threw me off to the ground….but don’t try that next time or I will do worst than just breaking a cup on your head…

She went downstairs and later came back with a hot coffee, just the way he likes his coffee.

They stayed in bed talking, and one thing lead to another and they got intimate again.

While they were still at it, there was a knock on the door.
It was Lizbeth.

“Mrs Spence, you have visitors. Susan your sister and the man with her said his name is Maxwell. They are sitting downstairs…

Florence quickly got off from Cole.
She wondered why Susan brought Maxwell to the house.
How will she face him now.

 

 

Tbc…

Drama about to happen

BEING MRS SPENCE
Episode 19
By AMAH’S HEART





Florence got dressed and quickly went to see her visitors.
She tried to wear fake smile and pretend like she was truly happy to see them.

“Hey Susy.. Max. What are you doing here. Wasn’t expecting you…

Florence tried to keep a steady eye contact with Maxwell despite finding it difficult.

Maxwell kept staring at her, when Florence couldn’t keep up it, she looked away and refocused on Susan
Susan spoke first

“Flo, how’re you…? Maxwell here wanted to visit. He knew that you will not agree for him to come over so he asked that I bring him and since I wanted to see you too, so…here we are.

Florence said mostly like a whisper.
“You could have called first but why is everyone wanting to see me… what’s going on?

Maxwell who had not said anything spoke.

“I needed to know how you are doing first and obviously you are absolutely great. And another thing is to know why you have decided not to keep to your word. You kept postponing our meeting. I mean, we needed to talk, I also need to move on if you have decided to be with your husband. Instead of keeping me like a wanderer…let me know what you really want. Because I can no longer pretend or


wait till eternity for you Flox. Is okay if you want to be with your husband, i will never stop you but what I dislike is playing with my emotions everytime…
Florence replied them angrily.
“Why are you being self centered Max, Susan you too. None of you even asked how Cole was doing. Do you all think I’m enjoying myself down here and care less about every one and everything else? Please, try and be sensitive for ones. Cole maybe on a wheelchair and his recovery process is slower than I thought he is still my husband until the divorce papers are signed and sealed by the Court of law. What y’all should be asking is how’s Cole doing, atleast in that way I also feel cared for. Max, Driving down to my place and acting like I have done something wrong just because I haven’t seen you yet is selfishness…I promise to see you Max, I haven’t gotten the time yet but that I will do. Cole is my priority right now, if he’s better then I can also think of moving on and…

Susan interrupted her with a finger pointing up stairs while standing to her feet. She was talking loudly so that Cole can hear her where ever he was.

” Do not force your Cole down our throats. I never liked him when he was healthy neither will I…now that he is probably bedridden. Your Cole is arrogant, disrespectful, egoistic and ill tempered…the list goes on. You choose


to come back here and take care of his mess, is your choice as the Jesus baby, Bible quoting, virtuous woman and godly wife that you think you are. I’m not like you and do not for a second want to be stupid like you Florence. Coleman took advantage of your softness and plays you like a football. Remember the day you came to my house crying foul over how he dislike the cloth you wore to his office party and sent you back home because you were not dressed in the skimpy cloths he wanted… Yes, that day I wish I can shake you up a bit to stand up to him and tell him your momma did not raise a soft cat. Mom and Dad raised us to be God fearing, yes…but to also be tigris and not allow anyone to kick us around in the butt. I believe in God and loves my husband dearly. Jimmy is an amazing man but never will he disrespect me to the highest order and I will run back wiping his buttocks. Never…
Florence tries to give Susan sign to lower her voice because Cole may hear her. And to also mind what she is saying because of Maxwell was with them.
Susan did not pay attention to her.
Instead she moved closer to the stairs and raised her voice.
Making Florence to sank deeply in the cushion with her head bent.

“… Coleman Spence is super lucky to have a woman like you Flo. Is rare…women are no longer foolish but you chose to be. I can’t talk you out of this whole thing…is your damn choice and I have Promise not to stress it again. Normally, Cole shouldn’t eat his cake and have it again but he obviously can have it as many times as he chose to because he thinks you will always be there to clean his mess. C’mon Flo, this man never loved you like you deserve. he tortured you emotionally even before getting another woman pregnant, kicking you out after the whole insult with both his own mother and mistress. Threatening your life even while you were out. He live with his mistress roughly two years and never cares if you are alive or dead. After things got sour, and the whole pregnancy thing was all lies and deceit which he foolishly and blindly fell for… They both landed in the hospital and just like magic he asked his mama Golden or whatever they call her, a mother who failed to raise her son well… just a call and you flew back to them like they expected that you would…”

Maxwell tries to call an angry Susan to order but she ignored.
He took his car keys and was about leaving but needed Florence to look at him maybe for the last time.

Florence who couldn’t take the insult from her elder sister stood up and said loudly.

“, You should all be going… this is uncalled for Susan. We can’t both be the same and like you stated earlier is my damn choice and I expect you to respect my choices and leave me the hell alone. Cole is my husband if you have forgotten that. He may not be perfect to your taste but he is changing for good. Stop trying to talk me out of caring for my husband. He needs me now than ever. He hurts me in the past and he is sorry. I can’t kill him, this accident has almost crippled him if not for several medical intervention. I want him to be well, I don’t have to level down his sins on his head every day. I can’t Leave him now, that is what you all should bear in mind. Everyone should move on with his or her life. Leave me alone. You all should leave my house please…coming down to my home with insult is what I can’t take from anyone…

Maxwell breathed deeply before walking out.

Susan moved closer to Florence and replied.

“You can’t take insult from anyone except from Cole…I guess. You think he respects you now, Flo is just for the moment because right now, he is at your mercy so he has to behave nice just to earn your sympathy. His Golden mama has abandoned him, his sister… I’m sure that one can’t spend a day with her own brother. Flo, remember that Dad was a good man, he treated Mom with love and Mom loved and respected him effortlessly. We were raised in a loving, godly home Flo. I care for you like my only sister ever since our parents passed, do you even think they will be happy right now with all of this. Allowing another man who wasn’t raised properly or choose to behave right to treat you like trash? I will never… ever tolerate it and Jimmy will never ever try such. Is not in him and mostly because he knows the woman he got married to. I’m leaving your house and never coming back…

Susan took her bag and started walking to the door. She suddenly turned and said to Florence.

“… tell Cole that i will run him over with my car without any iota of guilt if I see him standing by the road side. He dares not challenge me, I will spit on his stupid face. You are nursing him back to health because you are his second Mama golden and silver. Rubbish!! I hate what he has turned you into. Is eight years already with no child or children to count on. You feel Coleman is your cross, then continue to carry him. Maxwell is moving on with his life. He should quickly do so. That young fine man has tried. He calls me often, begging me to talk to you Flo. He loves you and despite all that has happened he still wants to be with you but since you choose your Coleman, I can only wish the best. I hopes this time around, he doesn’t pregnant another sexy woman for real…

Susan walked out, Florence watched her kicked her car angrily, she said something, before going in and driving off with speed.
Maxwell was already gone before Susan even came out of the house.

Florence went to a chair and sat hard.

She saw Lizbeth who obviously heard almost everything Susan said.

“Ma’am, I’m sorry to say but your sister is an angry bird. She is too hot and almost ready to fight. Her voice was echoing all over the house. I’m sorry you have to go through all of this. Mr Spence is a nice man and deserves another chance to life. He has a good heart, he may not show it often but aside his good looks his heart is equally good. Maybe with time you will get to see it… don’t listen to anyone who tries to condemn him without even getting to know him closely.

Florence did not say anything to Lizbeth as she climbed up.
Cole had earpiece on both ears, either listening to music while lying down and facing up or some other thing.

Florence removed it from his ears. he turned to her, smiled and said.

“I guess your visitors are gone. Susan’s nonsense rant was getting to the room, I have to get something to block my two ears so that I won’t hear her. Well, I have been listening and enjoying cool music…

Florence decided not to talk about the drama with her sister and Cole never asked.
Instead Cole spoke differently on another topic.

He pointed at the fertility medicine bottle that was already half and how Florence should try and get more of the drugs for him if she was truly out in helping him get better in every area.

Florence told him that she used her last money in the account to pay up his debt.
The money he was owning his company, she used all she had to clear the debt and there is nothing much left with her except feeding money.

Cole insisted that she should try and get the fertility drugs for him, he does not want to miss out on the three months constant medication like the doctor had advised him.

Florence didn’t reply as she quietly went about her day.
The drugs were very expensive, she can’t afford them for Cole. Not right now.
She has tried to pay up many other Cole’s general medication bills. Expenses was too much on her shoulder and weighing her down already.

After a week Cole continue to pester her over getting the meds for his fertility.
Florence end up borrowing some money from her colleagues to get the drugs just for peace to reign and to make Cole happy.

Cole thanked her very well as he continued with the drugs.

The bank was sending a reminder message to him concerning the house on collateral.
He showed each message to Florence.
Although it wasn’t time yet but it was for them to be at alert.

“Most times, this things gives me sleepless nights…I really don’t know what to do. Sweetie, if the bank take this house we will be homeless. I wish I have a means I can get money to pay up the bank. Is not even a small amount of money, where on Earth will I even get the money. I’m out of job, not physically fit yet to look for another. Even if I get employed now, I need to work like a year before getting entitled to a loan…. I’m deeply troubled sweetie. My Mom will never agree to help, she does not even have up to such amount to loan out. Sweetie, do you…

Florence stopped him from completing the sentence.



“Don’t even think of asking me such questions. the only friend I had is Tina and since she got married and moved to far East we haven’t even spoken for over a year now. The only time she chat me up was last year when she needed money to stock up her food stuffs business after the arrival of her first child. She asked me to loan her, I don’t have such amount of money she was asking for. but I was able to send her little money just to support her business. Susan is the last person I will ever go to, even if she has, Susan won’t help. Maxwell, my ex is a no go area….

Cole fled up angrily
“You are mentioning people that will only mock us…mock me especially at the end. Don’t even think of going to all of this people you just mentioned. They’re only looking out for our downfall…how about getting a loan from your office….?

Florence looked at him angrily.
“Cole, how can you even suggest that kind of thing? You think my company will give me such a huge amount for a loan? Cole, I wasn’t there when you were borrowing money from every angle and pumping into Marina. Wanting me to wash the dishes after eating and enjoying yourself with her is uncalled for. If I decide or choose to help you wash it does not give you more right to keep packing dirty dishes to the sink for me to tidy. There is absolutely nothing I can do to help…if the bank are ready, they should come and take the house. We will live in the street. You can even move to madam Gold’s house. She is your mother after all and won’t kick you out. She has a big house and still has extra building occupied by tenants in an estate. She may give you an accommodation…

Cole frowned at what Florence said. He raised his voice angrily and said.
“You are talking rubbish Florence. How can you even say all of this without any sign of fear or respect? Is better if you did not say anything at all because you ended up getting me more annoyed with all you said. If you are only helping so that you can rob it on my face in the future then stop helping. Your husband kindly asked for your help because his house is about to be taking from him, and the only thing a self claimed loving wife will say is for him to be thrown to the street because she has decided not to forgive or forget his past mistake. Are you without sin… don’t you used to do things that I overlooked or forgive? Because I sin differently you think you are better than me. If you want to go to your perfect ex boyfriend that has no spot then byee…the door is open. But I’m sure of one thing you will run back to me in no time… nonsense!

Florence looked at him and shakes her head sadly.
“You’re an ungrateful fool. Even if I kill myself for you Cole you will still not appreciate it. My ex, Maxwell will make a better man than you will ever be. You are naturally wicked and I hate you for putting me through so much pain…I…I ju..

She swallowed hard , blinked back tears.
Florence stormed out with a bag and few things in it.
Cole was calling her to come back but she ignored him and left.

She drove to Maxwell’s house, knocked on the door.
Bianca who was stepping out opened up, and greeted her kindly. she asked to see Maxwell.
She told him that Maxwell was in his room, since is a weekend, he doesn’t come out on time.

Bianca wanted to go and inform him but Florence asked her not to worry, she will go and meet him up.

She went to his room, knocked on the door. No response. She knocked again and again.

“Who’s there, what’s the problem…do you need something…?

Florence did not respond, instead she turned the handle of the door and realized it was not locked.
She opened it and entered the large beautifully designed room.
Maxwell seems to be working with his mini apple system on a table close to his bed.
He turned and was shocked to see Florence.
He didn’t stand, he remained seated looking at her.
Florence slowly walked to meet him.

She opened her mouth to say something but closed it. Maxwell continued looking at her.
She summoned courage and said

“Hey… Max. I’m sorry I came unannounced. I needed to talk with someone… I’m practically done with Cole. He is so ungrateful. Despite everything, he still makes all my efforts looks useless…

Maxwell breathed deeply but still did not say a word

.”… I’m sorry for the way I spoke to you and Susan the last time… I love you Max, I Know you may not believe me because…
She paused.

Maxwell spoke
“Because you have been getting intimate with Cole right…while taking care of his health. But you outrightly refused me touching you when we were together? I love you too Florence but I’m trying to move on with my life. You have kept me waiting for almost a year now and I’m not stupid. While I waited was because I was hoping you will come back as you promised but you did not. Now, I’m trying to get over you, here you are trying to rekindle my feelings for You again after which you will run back to your Coleman as usual…

She blinked back tears. Maxwell may not deeply love or want her like before if he knows that she has been sleeping with Cole.

“I never slept with him. We only get to kiss maybe ones or twice but that’s all. He did not touch me neither did I. I refused him from touching me Max. You are the only man I want…for real this time…

Maxwell stood, gently draw her into an embraced.

“Is okay Flox. I’m happy there is no intimacy between you and him. Having you back is a dream come true. Please, stay with me… let’s plan our life together. But you have to sign the divorce paper if you haven’t done so. I don’t want half of you..I want you all…

He bent over and kissed her and she responded. Maxwell kissed her face, her neck and back to her mouth.
He paused and asked her if she has eaten. She said she has not but don’t have appetite for food.

Maxwell, tickled her until she began to laugh.
He made her sit on his lap.

“Let’s go so that I can make your favorite delicacy for you…I miss you so much Flox. I will feed you like a child and will take you out later in the day… alright?

She smiled and nooded.
Maxwell took her hand and kissed them.

Florence suddenly feels abnormal movement in her bowel.
She has vomited twice yesterday and thought it was probably what she ate.
She felt like throwing up again but held herself.
The force of the vomit, ran from her stomach to her throat.
She stood, and rushed to Maxwell private bathroom and began to throw up.

.”Flox, are you alright? What is it…do you have fever? You are throwing up..what did you take?

Maxwell asked as he came to stand by the bathroom door.
Florence replied that she was fine, just to dismiss Maxwell.

She stayed in the bathroom staring at herself in the mirror.
What is the problem with her? She has not been feeling alright for days now but waved it off.
hope is not what she was thinking.
when last did she see her monthly flow? What if she is pregnant for Cole?

Florence gasped out and frown angrily.
She can’t think about that right now.

She washed her face and went to join Maxwell, who was still relaxing by the door and watching her.

As she was about getting to him she felt like throwing up again and rushed back to the bathroom.

BEING MRS SPENCE
Episode 20
By AMAH’S HEART

 

 

“Is two…is two lines?
she stared at it again
…”the second line is kind of blurred but is… maybe I will have to do it again. This will be the fourteen sticks. Two lines means positive… while negative is one line. Positive means I’m pregnant. That is the details I read on it’s body…or am I getting it wrong…

She tried again and it came out the same.
“… I’m pregnant. No matter how I tries to convince myself that I’m not, the truth stare back at me. I’m carrying Cole’s child… How can this be? Cole has issue getting a woman pregnant and has been on medication for the past two months. How can he get me pregnant…no…no. This means I have to get back to Coleman…

a phone call interrupted her.

she checked the caller and frowned.
it was Lizbeth. Lizbeth has been calling since yesterday but she refused to pick.
Cole also called several times but she never picked.
Florence sighed as she decided to answer.

” Hello Mrs Spence, thank God you finally picked. Mr Spence is in a bad shape. He said he was going to kill himself if you don’t return. He miss you so much ma’am. He fell in the bathroom a day ago. Also


fell in his room last night and this morning as he was trying to climb down he fell down at the staircase. He has refused my help and said is either you or no one else. He said he is not living for anything again… His house was about to be taking and his wife was gone. He wants to kill himself… and I’m scared. Please Mrs Spence, I know you are probably mad at him for what he did but for the sake of the God you serve please come home. Mr Spence really needs you… please.
Florence sighed again before replying Lizbeth.

“I’m not coming back Lizbeth. If your Mr Spence wants to die then he should quickly do so. Tell him he’s an ungrateful soul and I will never stress myself over him… ever again. Since you care so much about his welfare then attend to him and stop calling me every minutes concerning Cole…

“Mrs Spence, you know I would love to attend to him but he has refused my help and said is either you or no one else. I don’t know what to do again… he’s threatening to kill himself if you don’t com…

Florence ended the call before Lizbeth could complete her sentence.

She began talking to herself quietly again.

“No… I’m not going back to him. He’s an ingrate, an ungrateful soul. He’s going to become homeless soon, jobless and will be at the mercy of either his shrewd mother or anyone willing to help. I can’t continue


in this misery, Maxwell must not know or I’m doomed. Maxwell will give me and this child a better life, he will love and cherish me, he will respect and care for me and the baby. This are things that Cole isn’t capable of giving…he can’t give what he doesn’t have. He only thinks of himself… very selfish. oh God, I’m pregnant…why now and why Cole. I have to act fast and make Maxwell take responsibility. I will try and go intimate with him tonight. He must not know that I have been sleeping with Cole and already pregnant for him…no he must not. He won’t forgive me and I will be ruined if I return back to Cole like he wants. I will sign the divorce papers, everything about Coleman will be forgotten. He will…
Somebody interrupted her.

“Flox, are you alright in there? You have been in the bathroom for over 30minutes. Did you later take the drugs you got or I should take you to the hospital… you will see a doctor who will ascertain what the problem is and we will know what exactly to treat… Flox… Flox…

Maxwell called out to her.

“I’m coming out now Max. I’m feeling a bit fine…no need of going to the hospital. Yes, I have taken the drugs…I will be alright…

She hide the pregnancy test properly inside her clothes before coming out.

She flashed Maxwell a smile, he wasn’t convince even with the smile.

“Flox… let me take you to the hospital. You were running temperature while you were asleep last night, I came in and checked up on you before going to bed. I touched your forehead and your were running temperature. That’s why I made the special green tea for you this morning, but you left it untouched and went to work…

Florence moved to her wardrobe and stylishly dropped the hidden test. while Maxwell slowly move back to the room and stood beside the bed.
Florence went to him and wrapped her arms around.

“You worry too much Max, I’m fine. I couldn’t take the tea because I was already running late for work. And you know I’m taking a prescribed drugs from the pharmacy, I don’t know if it’s okay to take the green tea too…

“Is very okay. It does not affect the drugs. It actually helps you bounce back quicker than usualllll…..



He startled and suddenly paused from what he was saying as Florence put her hand under his shirt and tickle his nipples.
She kissed his arm up to his face.

“Max… stop talking and come let’s move to the bed. Make Love to me…I desire you… so much…

She kissed him passionately.
Maxwell blinked back severally before responding.
He suddenly stopped and set her aside.
He looked at her and said with a smile while holding her hand

“What are you doing Flox? Did you want to get me in the mood… and run off again…

He smiled expressing his teeth as he led her into a chair beside the bed and made her sit on his lap so she won’t feel bad.

“Flox…I thought we agreed on the first day that no intimacy. You said so yourself and I totally agree to the ideas. We agreed that ones the divorce papers are signed which is in about two weeks from now we can freely do that. I might have allowed my feeling to cloud my thinking during the time of your separation, when Cole was living with another woman. I wanted you so much back then but I feel alright with myself for not succeeding. Well, all thanks to you. I realized that getting intimately involved is like sleeping with another man’s wife, you are by all standard still Coleman’s wife… despite the divorce case been in Court. Is only after it’s signed that you are Florence Richard Adam or you take up my own name…

He paused, smiled and continued

“… since everything is within two weeks, I have chosen to wait. I desire you too Florence… way too much, even more than you do but doing the right thing pays. Hope you understand…?

Florence frowned, she stood from his lap.
Is true she has suggested they don’t get intimate but that was before she tested positive to pregnancy.

Plans has changed and she just wants to go ahead and do it with Maxwell without thinking about it.
If she sit to think it through, she won’t proceed with it.
This baby must belong to Maxwell, Cole has ruined half or almost all her life.
If he is giving another chance, he will ruin everything.
She won’t give him that chance. Maxwell must not know her plan or she will be in trouble.
He will be shattered and she can’t allow that to happen.

Maxwell made attempt to hold her but she stepped away from him angrily.

“I thought you truly wanted me? Your body language and your attitude speaks of it. I see desires most times when I look into your eyes. And now I’m throwing myself cheaply into your arms and you are rejecting me…

Maxwell went to her and cupped her face in his hand.

“I’m not rejecting you Flox. I can never reject you… I’m only reminding you of our initial plan to wait. Is true that I truly love and wants you forever. Flox, even right now, my body yawns for you but I’m trying not to…

She interrupted him with a kiss on the lip.

“Enough talk, if you want me like I do then let’s do it… I can’t think of any other thing except to be with you Max…

Maxwell nodded quietly as he responded to the kiss.
He asked her if they can go to his room or she wants to stay in hers.

She didn’t respond as she began unbuttoning his shirt before pushing him towards the bed.

She pulled off her clothes and went to him and the kissing and caressing continues.

Maxwell moaned softly as Florence increased the level of their romance in bed.

She was doing all she can to make sure he won’t start another sermon making her have a rethink.

Suddenly Maxwell said to her while the hot romance was ongoing.

“Flox… Flox wait…uuhhhuu…pleeassee wait… Flox…

“What is it… what the hell is wrong with you Max? Our whole body is deeply connected to each other… while are you interrupting this beautiful moment…

Florence barked at him angrily, feeling dejected already.

He tries to hold her but she moved away.

“I’m not interrupting my love. I only wanted to ask if we can use… protection…I mean condom. I have some somewhere in my wardrobe…I can rush down and get it…I will be fast at it.



Florence scuffed, she stared at him angrily.

“Why will you want to use condom on me Max? Did I complain to you…

Maxwell breathed shakily.

“I’m only trying to play safe… you know. I don’t want to get you pregnant.. maybe not now until your divorce papers are signed. Don’t get me wrong Flox, I will be the happiest man alive if you carry and give birth to my child. Buhhhhhh…..

Florence pushed him and stood. As she was trying to get dressed Maxwell rush to hold her.

“…I’m sorry Flox…. please let’s continue. I promise not to interrupt again… please, I’m sorry…

Florence faced him.

“, You are afraid of getting me pregnant… really… Max really? You don’t truly love me because I never complained to you that I was afraid of carrying your pregnancy. Come to think of it, what are condoms doing in your wardrobe? So You have been having other ladies here and acting like you were faithful to me while I was nursing Cole… you lied max…

“I was truly faithful Flox, Keeping myself just for you. Having condoms doesn’t necessarily mean that I was having other women around. I bought it during the time you separated from Cole…last year. I thought You may not like me touching you without it so I kept it in case but we never used it and it remains unopened. I have kept myself ever since then Flox, waiting untill when you will be fully mine. That was why I was pissed when I realized you were sleeping in the same bed with Cole. But you reassured me that nothing happened. You were only sleeping on the same bed because you only needed to help him out at nights. I’m glad that Cole never touched you neither did you. you made me proud with such action. I’m happy that you also kept yourself for me and I definitely do not want to rush the golden meal. I want the time to be right, I want it to be one of the memorable romantic moment that you won’t forget in a hurry. Well, this isn’t how I planned it but i will do anything to please you. please I’m sorry Flox. Let’s go back to bed and I will never interrupt again… I’m sorry…

Florence thought of going back as he kept pleading but she was already having cold feet.

Her guts was down, fear has creep in and she can’t continue tonight.
Maybe some other time and soon before the pregnancy start showing.

She told Max, tomorrow instead they can. She was tired and needed rest.

Maxwell later left her alone and return to his room.

Three days ago was a Sunday, she attended a church service with Maxwell. During the prayer section, she has knelt down not minding who was watching.

She quietly prayed fervently with all her heart.

“God Almighty, I’m in a middle of nowhere…in a confused state. My relationship with you has really gone cold. My worries increase each day pushing me away from your thoughts. At this point in my life, I’m at a crossroads. I don’t know what to do…I don’t know why my life has to be this messy. Falling in love with Coleman and getting married to him has done me more harm than good. If he wasn’t your plan for me why did you even let our path to meet… I know I can’t question you. Divorce is never something I ever wanted in my life…oh God, never have I thought it will come to this. Maxwell is a nice man, I know he will give me a better life but I’m probably carrying Cole’s child and Maxwell will be shattered if he finds out. This is my dilemma…I need you God. Please do not leave me… help me to gather up pieces of my life and make good meaning out of it. Forgive me… for I know my sins stare back at my face. I’m sorry God… please, help me. Don’t forsake me… help me…

Florence had prayed silently, making sure no one hears her except God who hears even the tiniest echo of our hearts.



Maxwell was also praying during the section too. he squeezed her hand gently as she stood and sat back on the chair.



After service they drove back to the house. After lunch he decided to take her out for a movie.

Florence went outside and made sure she was alone before calling her sister Susan.
She did not want to tell her before but she needed to speak to someone and she knows Susan will always listen.

Susan shouted at her before asking her to go and get pregnancy tester so she will know if she was really pregnant.

Susan said she hopes she isn’t pregnant for a man like Cole but she should get tested first.

It was while they were still on their way to the cinema that she asked Maxwell to stop beside a pharmacy so that she can get some drugs.
Maxwell did and wanted to follow her inside but she asked him to stay back in the car because she won’t be wasting time in there.

She went in alone and got the pregnancy test kit. Which was her main purpose. She bought few other drugs as a cover up and did not intend using them.

She hides the pregnancy test kit properly in her bag while holding the other drugs that was inside a leather bag in her hand.

She showed Maxwell the drugs she got before they drove off.
They went to the cinema and the movie was exactly what she needed to distract her from her present worries.

They got home late at night and she kept thinking of how to use the test stick to ascertain if she was truly pregnant.

She was scared to check and did not stop thinking about it.
It was while she was alone in her room late at night that she used the test.
It came out with one clear line and the other was a bit faint.
It confused her because she can’t tell If it means positive or negative.
She decided to try some other time.

Susan called her to ask what was the result.
She told Susan what she was seeing in the test stick after using upto three.

Susan told that she was probably not pregnant. She should try and go to the hospital to be sure.

Florence was scared of going to the hospital.

She had used upto ten sticks within few days, and even bought another pack on her way back from work.
She was certain that is pregnancy.
Even though majority of the used stick’s second line was either looking blurred or not showing at all.
Most of the second lines look faints, but with all the several test she used, she has come to conclusions that she was pregnant and was not going back to Cole no matter what.

Is either Maxwell or none other.
If she suddenly developed cold feet today in getting intimate with Maxwell, she will do it either tomorrow or next.
Maxwell won’t say no to her again.

The following day while at work, Cole’s messages kept coming in.
He was threatening to kill himself if she does not return home.
He mentioned how his health has gone worst since she left.

Florence started thinking of what to do.
She thought of how to help Cole recover the house.
If she tell Maxwell, he may not want to help because the amount was huge and before Cole can pay back such amount of money back to him it will take years.
Maxwell will not agree but she was going to ask him anyway.
If she succeeded in helping Cole with the house she won’t look back in being with Maxwell.

Maybe tonight, she will finally get intimate with him after which she will tell him about the house if he can help in anyway.
She cares about Cole but she wants to start her life with Maxwell and make him feel like he got her pregnant instead of Coleman.

After dinner that night with Maxwell who has been acting all sorry for the other night.
He led her to his room, the light color was friendly, roses scattered on the bed and the floor.
A bottle of champagne and two glass cups by the beside.

“This is not how I planned our first love night to be but is a bit close. No condom, no interruptions… just me and you in our coozy world of fantasy. Getting pregnant for me will be the best thing that ever happens to me… I’m sorry again for the other night. I can’t stop saying sorry Flox. I love you…so much.

Florence knew it was time, Susan has said she was not pregnant with the test result but she was convinced that she was due to the way she feels and the whole test stick she has used just to confirm. Although she still needs to go to the hospital like Susan suggested, to really confirm.
Susan sounded sure that she was only stressed out and felt nauseated but is not pregnancy and the test result too said it all.
But she doubted Susan and wasn’t going to take any chances.

After tonight with Maxwell, she can finally say the baby probably forming in her womb belongs to him.
Maybe after then she can go to the hospital.

She has fears. with all the terrible ideas forming in her head, her heart beat was racing.

Her eyes caught the Bible relaxing on Maxwell’s reading table.
She quickly looked away, while trying to concentrate on the present moment.

Her eyes travels to the Bible again, she suddenly flinched Maxwell straightened and looked at her.

“Are you alright…? He asked worried

“Yea… I’m good. That bible over there, can you remove it…? Maybe hide it somewhere for now, you can put it back up later…is making me a bit uncomfortable…

Maxwell looked towards his reading table and looked back at Florence confused.
He tries to say something but decided to oblige instead

“Uuhhhh sure! If it makes you uncomfortable I will put it in the locker then..

As he picked up the Bible, he stare at it before turning to Florence.

“If you feel uncomfortable with the presence of this holy book then we aren’t doing the right thing. How will it be if God was seated in this room and watching us…? I don’t know but I wouldn’t mind the Bible beside my bed because my heart is pure towards you Flox but it only feels like our desires are in the wrong timing . I want you and everything about you. There is no denying of what I feel for you. I’m not perfect but I crave so much to make


love to you, not in a hurry or in guilt but in freedom… knowing that you are mine. We can wait if you wouldn’t mind… I’m willing to. Let’s have peace in our hearts whenever intimacy will happen. touching you now is like touching another man’s wife. I want you to be mine and I will be forever yours Flox…
Florence sat hard on the bed. She bent her head without a word.
Maxwell went to her.

“… Flox, are you alright…did I say something wrong? Just tell me what you are thinking?

“Alot… really. But is alright Max. I agree with you and I won’t stress again on getting intimate with you. God must be very disappointed in me right now. Not just with this but with a whole lot of other things. Hmmm! I’m sorry for pushing you hard and almost succeeded in kicking you off your principles. I love you Max not just for opening my eyes to the glaring truth but also for many other things…

Max responded that he also loves her.
They kissed a little.
Drank their Champaign, talk and laugh over silly jokes.

Florence summoned courage and told Max about Cole’s house.
He was silent as she pleaded to him to help out.

” ….If Cole recovers the house, I will be very happy and will be able to finally move on. Because if the bank takes the house from him he will continue pestering me, because he doesn’t have much to fall back to. I want to be


totally free from him, sign the papers and belong to only you Max…. please…. I know the amount is huge, but even if is half let’s start with that. please. Is there anyway you can help out….
Max breathed deeply, he dropped the drink in his hand. He stood up, walked to his room window..he stood there for a while as Florence plead, he retuned back to her and said

“I don’t know Flox… this is quiet complicated. Helping Cole recover his house from the bank is not really the issue but why you want to help him do that. I watch the way you talk about him…it seems you still wants to be with Cole…

“No…no… never. I won’t be here if i still want to be with Cole. I’m done with him for real. You are the only man I want to be with Max. I’m only being concerned over the house and do not want him to disturb me or you in the future…

Maxwell sat beside her again. He looked at her and said.

“The money is huge Flox. I’m not berating him for his lavish lifestyle, it was his choice in the first place. You weren’t there and never saw a dime out of this huge expenses, you have done enough as both a nice person and a good wife. I guess you should take a break. Let him carry the rest of his cross Flox. I can’t help Coleman. I’m very generous but not to that extent. Kicking him off to the street is exactly what he asked for, let him bear the consequences of his actions. Flox, even if I mess up tomorrow, God forbids it, I know I will never be that stupid…but if I happen to mess up, and you rush down cleaning my shit, patting me on the back…i will feel you love me too much and will always clean up my mess not minding how many times I do it. Sometimes, we need to learn our lesson in a hard way and appreciate people more no matter the little help they render to us when we’re in desperate need. I’m sorry Flox but I’m not gonna help Coleman. I work very hard for my money and won’t throw it off anyhow. Ask me to do any other thing for you and I will but this particular one… count me out..

Florence knew Maxwell mind was made up.
He hardly say no to her and for him to turn her down like this means is final.

She felt bad as she retuned back to her room.
The following morning, she was sad that Maxwell refused to help.
She left for work way too early and didn’t pick his call or reply his message within the day.
She stayed out late after work. She knew Maxwell sometimes comes back from work late or before her.
He also work from home, monitoring everything going on in the office with his laptop.
If he comes back late and did not meet her at home he will be worried and that is exactly what she wanted.
She needs to strategize a way to tell Cole about the pregnancy.
she can’t hide it forever since she and Maxwell had a final agreement of no intimacy.
Maybe that is the way God wants it.

Since she was trying to delay and get Maxwell worried, she drove over to Susan.
She told Susan of what she intended doing with Maxwell over the pregnancy but it didn’t work out.
Susan rebuked her, she was angry with her for trying to do such to Maxwell.
Even if she happens to be pregnant, making Maxwell to father another man’s child without him knowing is sheer wickedness and evil. Susan told her.

Susan said Florence wasn’t pregnant but asked her to go to the hospital and confirm.
Florence Promised to do that but she was scared of what the result will be.
She didn’t bother telling Susan any other thing after the way she was scolded her.

Maxwell was calling but she ignored him.
It was almost 10pm she retuned home.

She greeted Maxwell coldly, he was sitting in his living room and watching television.
She went straight to her room without looking back.
Maxwell did not say a thing as he watched her walk away.

When she didn’t come out of her room, he decided to go check up on her.

The door wasn’t locked as he knocked and went in.

“I guess why you are mad at me.. and pulling this whole attitude was because I refused your request to help Coleman recover his house….

Florence didn’t reply. She brought out the snacks and drink she bought and began to eat.
So that Maxwell will be more hurt.





“… your food is on the dining Flox. Why are you eating snacks…?
He made attempt to hold her but she moved away from him.

“Max, I’m fine with this…I don’t feel like eating your food. I will like to go to bed After eating…

Florence said shunning him.
Maxwell stare at her speechless.

He turned and left quietly.
After sometime, he returned back with a tray of food and a small envelope by the side of the tray.
He left it on a table close to Florence bedside and left without saying a word.

Florence who had it in mind that she won’t touch the food, sighted the envelope.

She went to it, quickly opened it and covered her mouth from screaming.

She held the cheque in her hand, looking at it like she just saw ghost.

It was exact amount of money for Cole’s house.
There was a piece of paper inside like a letter.
She checked it out.
“I hope you keep to your word. Help him recover the house and come back to me. I will be here waiting for you. And please, remember to eat dinner. I feel hurt watching you eat snacks when I personally made food for you after I retuned from work. This is your home Flox and I’m yours. You don’t need to pull attitude or come home late because you are angry with me and needed things to happen your own way. I’m giving you the cheque because of the love I have for you. Is not for Coleman or for anything else. Only because I truly love you. Please, do what you must and come home. This time around, no Coleman, no awaiting divorce or any other bridge because all will be conquered by the love we both share. I love you Flox… goodnight!.

She held the letter to her heart.
This indeed is a great prove that Maxwell loves her.

She thought of running to go and thank him but decided to wait till morning.

Maxwell left earlier to work according to Bianca, Florence couldn’t see him before living.

Florence went to work, before the close of the day she left.
She was too happy and couldn’t hold back her joy.
She didn’t tell Cole that she was coming.

He will worship the ground she walks on if he finds out that she was about recovering the house and he was also going to be a Dad.

She parked outside and rushed in, the house seem quiet as she stepped in.

She started rushing upstairs to their master bedroom while shouting Cole’s name.
She was screaming Cole’s name excitedly.
Before she could get to the door, Lizbeth came out of their master bedroom panting.

Florence was surprised at first when she saw that she was only on a towel and panting really hard.

“Mrs Spen….ce. you are here…oh welcome.
Lizbeth stammered abnormally and continued.

“…. I was about going into the bathroom when I heard Mr Spence calling for help., So I quickly rushed down to help him. He ..he wa..s…I mean he fell in the bathroom but I have helped him and he’s okay now. The room is a bit scattered, I will take care of it later… thank God that you are here…let me go and shower… welcome Mrs Spe…nceee..

Lizbeth rushed down while Florence did not think much of her in a mini towel or the way she was panting and showing part of her bare buttocks while running down.

She rushed in to know how Cole was doing, he was lying in bed sleeping.

Florence looked closely and realized his eyes were shaking. Which means he was pretending to be asleep probably because he heard her voice.

The room was messed up just like Lizbeth has said.
But is no big deal, she will tidy it up later.
Now is time tell Cole the goodness she brought back.

She tapped him and he opened his eyes.

“You aren’t sleeping, so why pretend…

He looked at her and sat up.

“You finally decided to come home. I was already trying to move on since you are wicked enough to leave me in my pitiable condition and go to where ever….I know you didn’t go to Susan’s house, where have you been staying all this while?

Florence move round the room, then come back to him.

“Does it matter, wherever i was shouldn’t bother you. All that matters is that I’m back. Lizbeth said you fell in the bathroom and she rushed down to help you… I thought you are supposed to be walking effortlessly. the physiotherapist informed me that you are alright. You can move around without any help and many other things. you should be able to do things independently. I paid him off because his work was done. I don’t understand your reasons for still falling…

Cole sat up properly and looked at her.

“My health collapsed back after you left. You’re damn wicked Florence. Even after my calls and Lizbeth calls to inform you about my health, you refused to come home. Instead you asked her to inform me to go ahead and kill myself… Florence, you are heartless. You opened your


mouth to say such trash to your ailing husband and felt no remorse. You really wanted me to go and die in my misery and saddened state. Well, I’m happy that Lizbeth has really been helping me out…I wonder what I would have done without her. I’m still happy that you retuned, we have been running low on food stuffs and other necessary things…I hope you will be kind enough to help out.
Florence sighed heavily.

“You pushed me out and makes the whole effort I poured into you to look like nothing. You never appreciated or even showed kindness in your word or action. You took me for granted and still expect me to continue wiping your butt… things aren’t done that way Cole. I wanted to stay in a place that I felt loved and appreciated. I’m sorry with my harsh words but you pushed me too hard Cole. You did pushed me. By the way…my leaving also brought good tidyings to you…. concerning the house and some other things.

Cole looked at her wondering what she was talking about.
Florence continued.

“…The first good news is that I’m pregnant…it seems so though…

Cole looked at her surprised.

“What are you talking about Florence… you mean that you are carrying my child in your womb… right now? You are pregnant… for real?

“Yes….yes Cole. I’m carrying your child…

Cole laughed out loudly.

“Come here…come to me. Oh my goodness… the fertility drugs worked faster than expected. I asked the doctor and he said is only after three


months and two weeks of completing the drugs it will start taking effect, he said within the period of treatment, i won’t be able to get any woman pregnant until the treatment is all over and I will only be completing the whole drugs and it’s process a week from now. But if you are pregnant, it means the drugs worked faster. It worked within just…two months. I’m surprised that you’re pregnant but super excited though. Come here…
Florence went to him excitedly, he kissed her for long before releasing her.

“… I’m happy… that’s a great news sweetie. The doctor was wrong when he said is only from three months upwards that the drugs will be effective and that’s only if I follow it squarely without missing any. Thanks for paying for all the drugs, I know it was really expensive but you made sure I don’t miss out. The last one, you didn’t want to buy it but after I persuaded, you got it for me. We’re finally going to be parents… for real this time. I love you sweetie…and I have missed you.

They kissed again and Florence later got up and tidy the room.
She gave Lizbeth money to go and buy groceries for the house.
She later went back to Cole and they continued their celebration in bed.

She held back the second good news and decided to tell him later.

She melt under Cole’s touch, as they went on with their love making all through the night.

She wanted to tell him about the house in the morning but decided to come back from work instead.

Maxwell called her within the day, she spoke with him and said she will be coming the following day to see him.

She went home and that evening she brought out the check and showed Cole.

Cole had this ghost look when he saw the amount written on the cheque.

“Sweetie…Where did you get such an amount from…and for what exactly?

“For the house Cole, Maxwell gave me the cheque after I told him about the house…

Cole paused and stared at her.

“Wow…he gave you this huge amount of cheque. What was he thinking….? I mean I wasn’t expecting this. I’m dumb founded… how did he want us to be paying back? Monthly or weekly?

Florence smiled and said replied
“He does not want a pay back. He gave it to me…for free. Totally free…we don’t have to pay any dime back to him.

Cole was silent for a long time, staring at the cheque.

” What did you do for him to sign this kind of cheque…how many times did you guys have sex? I won’t be mad at you if you make out with him… atleast the end result is massively huge. What was he thinking…I don’t understand that your ex. Is he foolish and stupid at the same time? He must be very foolish to have given you this money for free…is it really for free? What does he do again for a living…? I’m… just shocked and don’t really know how to react. You must have really given him enough bedmating satisfaction, enough super love making and it twisted his brain in writing this cheque for free. Because, no man in his right senses will give out such amount to his married ex girlfriend for free. When the person isn’t crazy…





“Okay… okay Cole. You have said enough. I expected you to be happy and grateful… not this unnecessary questions and insult to Max who just literally saved your ass from getting kicked into the street…” Said Florence who was getting irritated with Cole’s words.

“Don’t get me wrong sweetie… I’m very grateful. I deeply appreciate you more Florence, whatever style you gave him in bed that made him to lost his mind and gave you this money you have to show it to me tonight.

Florence shakes her head.

“I never slept with Max, not during the separation or this past days. He just gave me the cheque without doing anything…

Cole began to laugh.

“Florence, you must have mistaken me for a child, I’m a grown man…not a baby.
You did nothing and he gave you this amount of money…for free…for freaking free. Waoohhh…and you expected me to believe that cock and bull stories. Well, let me just pretend is true and focus on the positive side. Thanks…I appreciate this. Really…I appreciate sweetie. This is double blessings… becoming a Dad for real and… wait a minute hope the pregnancy does not belong to…oh nevermind…. you know better to use protection with him…

“Cole I said nothing happened with Max. That’s the truth, but you can choose to believe anything you wish to believe…I really don’t care anymore. Please don’t make Max’s whole effort to look stupid because I don’t want him to regret doing this… neither do I want to regret helping you again. Just be appreciative… and mean it Cole.
Florence said angrily.

“I’m grateful sweetie…I mean it. Becoming a Dad and getting my house back means everything…and I’m really grateful. I guess is time to take out the divorce case out of court. We’re becoming a family and you need me just like I need you…I also know that you love me and that’s the reason why you went extra mile to do all of this. I love you too Florence. Let’s start all over again and make sure this time around is for the better. No Marina or Max can come between us… okay?

Florence stood up and walked round the room.

“I really don’t know Cole, can I atleast think about it? Give me time…and I will only consider it if you change for real. Your character is still very provoking and I really can’t deal. I need to think about it. Max is….

Cole interrupted.

“No more Max. I said it earlier that you should leave all this people that are threat in our marriage out of the way. Don’t mention Max again…is now us. Me and you Florence. What is there to think about, we sleep in same bed, our love making is getting very interesting by the day. We are cool together. You came back like I said you will… because you love me and hates divorce. A strong Christan like you shouldn’t even be considering such. Is a taboo to your faith. Keeping the vow we made on the alter of God on our wedding day and making things to work out for good this time should be your Moto and focus. Nothing else… nothing should matter at all….

Cole’s words got to Florence. As a Christian she shouldn’t be considering divorce but with all Cole did in the past she had every right to divorce him.
Is probably the love she had for him that is still keeping her from proceeding with the divorce signing.
And now that they were about to recover the house back from the bank and probably a baby too on the way, is only normal to forgive Cole and start a family like she has long wanted.

Her major problem is Maxwell, how will she do with him.
What will she tell him, will he ever forgive her?
He will really be hurt if he finds out all of this.

She has a lot to worry about and did not want to be an advocate of divorce. Forgiveness is still the key in marriage and she wants to over look Cole’s fault and refocus on their marriage again.

They later paid the bank and got their house fully back.
Cole was excited and so was Florence.

She couldn’t go to see Maxwell the day she promised and even a week after.

Susan asked her if she has gone to the hospital and she said she was going to drive down there the next day to confirm the obvious truth that has suddenly brought joy and fear to her heart.
She called the doctor to inform him of her coming.

Lizbeth have not being herself ever since Florence returned.
She will always sneak up and hide behind the door anytime Cole and Florence is inside the room to hear what they are talking about and whenever they’re making love.

She will stand listening to them most nights until she felt she has heard enough.

She has not been alright with herself ever since Florence came back and start talking about been pregnant for Cole.

Cole has also refused to look at her end ever since Florence retuned.
He has warned her to keep her mouth shut and stick to her job.
He said Florence must not know that something happened between them during her absence.

His word hurts her deeply and she was beginning to dislike Mrs Spence for everything.

She was already thinking of how she will be the next Mrs Spence before Florence came back.
She felt Mr Spence used her to get along.
She felt used and it angered her greatly.

The following day, Florence was driving down to see the doctor.

She also hope she won’t regret considering Coleman back, canceling the divorce papers and taking over her seat again as one and only Mrs Spence.
