Being Mrs Spence

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…

He 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 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 coz 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 but don’t loose yourself doing that. I really do 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 although separated. She tried not to encourage him or her feelings.

Is better then remain cool to avoid unnecessary feeling.

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 paintings in his house.

Maxwell continued the conversation.

***********

Cole was talking with his mother. He visited her.

“I’m reducing in finance, in mental health and peace of mind every day Mum, 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 time. 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. I could have said she is one hell of a strong pregnant Lady but Marina is never strong in doing anything in the house except during sex. I’m tired of the sex romp Mum, 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. My whole savings and almost all I got is going into Marina….

Cole clap his both hands together frustrated.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

“, 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…. very dangerous species which includes his mother except for 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 him 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 this you can still get her pregnant again maybe after two or three babies you can start thinking of bringing Florence back. She 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 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 Mum

“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 the driving force for me 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 bumb 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.
